Divorced

Chapter 608

Aveline ordered all of Lucas‘ favorite dishes, then handed the menu back to the server and looked at Judy. “Did you get all that, Miss Thompson?”

“I…,” Judy hesitated, surprised that Aveline would take the initiative to tell her all this–as if she were trying to teach her. What kind of thought process was this? What exactly was Aveline thinking?

Hearing Aveline’s words, Lucas‘ expression immediately turned colder, and the tension around him seemed to thicken.

But Aveline appeared unfazed and calmly continued, “This way, you won’t have to ask him next time. I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that he’s not much of a talker.”

Judy felt a pang of irritation. “You don’t need to worry about that. After spending more time together, I’ll naturally pick up on these things.”

“Alright then,” Aveline nodded, as if satisfied with the response.

She then turned to Lucas and asked, “Have you thought about what I mentioned earlier?”

Lucas‘ sharp, handsome features hardened, and he didn’t even bother to glance at her.

Aveline blinked, then turned to Judy and remarked, “See? He’s quite rude, isn’t he?”

A stifled laugh broke the tension as Maria quickly turned her head away, pressing her lips together in an effort to keep from laughing, hoping to avoid drawing attention to herself.

Aveline calmly took a seat beside them and resumed eating when the food was served.

Judy, unable to hold back any longer, asked, “Miss Young, didn’t you just eat?”

Aveline replied, “Yes, but I wasn’t full, and those dishes weren’t that great, so I’m trying these instead.” Judy was speechless, gripping her fork tighter as she glanced at Lucas, hoping to gauge his reaction.

But Lucas simply kept his eyes lowered, his expression unreadable.

Weren’t they already divorced? Why hadn’t he told this annoying woman to leave? Her presence was ruining Judy’s appetite! NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I’m done. You two take your time,” Aveline said with a slight smile after finishing her meal. She stood up and turned to Maria, saying, “I’m going to the restroom for a moment. We can leave together afterward.”

Maria nodded. “Alright.”

After leaving the cubicle, Aveline stood in front of the mirror, washing her hands. In the reflection, she noticed Judy approaching, her expression dark and her gaze filled with disdain.

“Miss Young, don’t you think what you’re doing is a bit pathetic?” Judy remarked, her tone dripping with contempt.

Aveline calmly washed her hands and then grabbed a paper towel to dry them. “Do you? I think it’s fine.” Judy’s voice sharpened. “You’re divorced. Clinging to him like this–isn’t it a bit shameless?”

Aveline tossed the paper towel into the trash and turned to face her. “Yes, we’re divorced, but that’s hardly some terrible sin. Besides, we’re both single. Having a conversation and sharing a meal doesn’t make me shameless. But coming in here to insult me–what does that make you? A disgrace?” “You-!” Judy’s face darkened. She remembered that Aveline wasn’t always this sharp–tongued. How had she changed so much? Could she be trying to get back together with Lucas? That was absolutely impossible!

Judy stepped closer, her eyes narrowing with a hint of challenge. “Aveline, Lucas doesn’t want you anymore, yet you’re still clinging to him. It’s pathetic.”

Aveline’s eyes grew cold, and suddenly she raised her hand and slapped Judy across the face.
