Divorced

Chapter 530

Aaron held Lucas back firmly. “Lucas, don’t be crazy. You’re still injured, and besides, you and Aveline are already divorced. Since you’ve decided to let her go, you need to move on!”

Aaron truly couldn’t understand why Lucas was so fixated on Aveline.

In the beginning, Lucas despised her because she had witnessed his most vulnerable state – when he had lost his memory, couldn’t speak, and even appeared mentally impaired.

Those were the memories Lucas least wanted to revisit after regaining his senses, which led him to insist on divorcing Aveline in the first place. But now, he wanted to win her back?

It was insane!

The veins on Lucas‘ forehead bulged as he glared at Aaron furiously. “Aveline and I are not divorced. She is still my wife!”

Aaron was stunned. “What… did you say?”

The struggle had reopened some of Lucas‘ wounds, and the faint scent of blood lingered in the air. He curled his lips into a cold smile. “If I hadn’t handed her the divorce certificate, she would’ve kept pestering me for it. So, I gave her what she wanted. Whether it’s real or not–that’s for her to figure out.”

If she had immediately recognized the divorce certificate as fake, they might.truly be divorced by now.

But she didn’t.

And whose fault was that?

It was fated that she could only be his wife!

Even if he died, her marital status would be “widowed,” not “divorced.”

“You’ve truly lost your mind,” Aaron stared at him in disbelief, never imagining Lucas would give Aveline a fake divorce certificate. “Aren’t you afraid that one day she’ll discover this lie and all hell will break loose?”

Aaron helped Lucas sit on the hospital bed, frowning as he asked. He felt Lucas was heading down a path of no return. Given Aveline’s stubborn personality, once she discovered this deception, not only would there be chaos, but Lucas might regret it bitterly…

“It doesn’t matter.” Lucas closed his eyes, his tone eerily calm. “It doesn’t matter how she confronts me. She will always be my wife.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Aaron was speechless for a long moment, unable to comprehend Lucas‘ madness.

After resting briefly, Lucas seemed to regain some strength, though his eyes remained cold as he tried to

get up again.

Aaron pushed him back down by the shoulders. “You should stay here and recover. I’ll go check on her for you.”

Lucas pressed his lips together without responding.

Aaron raised an eyebrow. “What? Don’t you trust me anymore?”

Lucas said, “Have Brian continue to protect her discreetly.”

Aaron nodded. “No problem.”

He then turned and left.

Lucas leaned back against the headboard, his body burning with pain.

He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, feeling the searing agony, yet his face remained expressionless.

It didn’t matter.

No matter how much trouble this caused, it didn’t matter to him.

As long as she was his, that was enough.

Aaron drove to Maple Garden, where he also owned property.

Looking up at Aveline’s floor, he saw the lights were already off.

His expression darkened. What was happening? Were they sleeping together? That was unacceptable. If Lucas found out, he’d probably lose it entirely. He was already on the edge as it was!

Aaron quickly got out of the car and headed upstairs.

Selena was in a drowsy state when she heard knocking at the door. She frowned and groaned, opening her eyes and getting up.

“What a nuisance!” she cursed under her breath.

She saw Aveline sleeping soundly beside her, completely undisturbed by the noise.
