Lucas suddenly stopped, her gaze making him uncomfortable.
“I really don’t understand what you’re thinking,” Aveline asked softly. “Are we getting divorced or not?”
Lucas’s lips tightened abruptly. He got up from the bed and headed straight to the bathroom.
Aveline closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
Let’s not do this.
If they were going to divorce, it should be straightforward.
It would be easier for both of them.
When Lucas came out, Aveline was gone. She hadn’t even stayed for breakfast.
She had only sent him a message on WhatsApp, “I’ll be waiting for you at the lawyer’s office.”
Lucas’s face looked as if it was covered in frost, his entire demeanor icy and intimidating.
The housekeeper came out, looked around, and asked in confusion, ” Mr. Lucas, did Miss Young leave?”
The housekeeper knew Aveline had come last night but had been informed not to disturb them. He had expected to see her this morning but found no one.
Lucas put away his phone, his expression even colder. “Do you have nothing better to do?”
Feeling the icy chill emanating from Lucas, the housekeeper quickly shut his mouth.
It didn’t seem to be going well.

Aveline hailed a taxi, and as soon as she got in, her phone rang. She looked at it and saw that Selena was calling.
“Hello?”
Selena’s sleepy voice came through. “Babe, where are you?”
Aveline replied, “I went out. If you’re still sleepy, go back to bed.”
Selena said, “I have to work today, so I won’t sleep anymore.”
Aveline continued, “Heat up the food yourself. Once I’m done with today’s matters, come over in the evening. There’s too much food for me to eat alone. Then we can check out the new house together.
“Sounds good,” Selena agreed cheerfully.
After hanging up, Aveline looked out the window. The Tudor residence was getting farther and farther away, but her heart still felt heavy.
This is the last time, Aveline thought. She would not allow herself to indulge again. Today, after filing for a divorce, she would resign. from her job, and from then on, they would have no further ties.
When she arrived, she stood at the lawyer’s office. There were many people around the waiting area.
As Aveline looked at the busy office setting, she felt a moment of daze, as she remembered the day she married Lucas. They had been so happy and excited, full of anticipation for a blissful future.
Aveline pressed her lips together and checked the time. If was already 9:30 AM.
Lucas still hadn’t shown up.
What did he mean by this?
She called him directly, but he didn’t answer, and the call eventually disconnected on its own.
What’s going on?
Aveline’s brow furrowed, growing more impatient. Dragging out a divorce like this wasn’t manly!
At 10:30 PM, Lucas finally responded. When she saw the message, she nearly spat blood in anger.

Lucas replied, “I have to go on an unexpected business trip. I’ll be back in about a week.”
Aveline took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself. Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, getting sick from anger won’t help!
But this jerk was infuriating! Why did he have to go on a business trip now?
No, this divorce had to happen!
She immediately called Desmond.
“Miss Young,” Desmond answered quickly, his tone polite and distant.
“Where did Mr. Tudor go on his business trip?” Aveline asked.
Desmond replied, “Is there something you need?”
Aveline said softly, “It’s a matter of life and death. Do you really need to keep asking?”
Desmond’s eyes widened slightly. Was it the life and death he was thinking of?
If so, then he could tell her.
