After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

"Hello?"

Lucas had just returned to the Tudor residence when he received Aveline's call. He answered almost immediately.

Aveline tried to keep her voice steady, but a hint of tremor slipped through. "Lucas, where is the bodyguard you arranged for me? The one who's supposed to protect me closely?"

Lucas noticed the urgency in her tone and asked, "What happened?"

Aveline insisted, "I need a bodyguard close to me at all times."

Lucas replied, "If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you."

Aveline retorted, "I don't care. I just want a bodyguard who will immediately appear whenever I need him."

Lucas's eyes darkened when he sensed Aveline was in danger. "Alright, I'll arrange it."

"Do it quickly," Aveline said before hanging up.

Somehow, hearing his voice eased the fear and anxiety in her heart.

She clutched her phone and gave a bitter laugh.

Was she becoming dependent on him? What would she do after the divorce without him? How would she survive?

Or perhaps... she might not even live to see that day.

Aveline lost her appetite. The gruesome image from the photo kept flashing in her mind, making her nauseous every now and then.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Startled, Aveline got up and cautiously walked to the door. She

peered through the peephole and was surprised to see who it was.

She opened the door.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why is it you? Where's my bodyguard?"

Lucas had changed his clothes, his black trench coat emphasizing his tall, handsome figure. His demeanor was noble and cold, with deep, sharp features.

His eyes fixed on her as he suddenly walked over and grabbed her wrist, pulling her close.

"How close do you want your bodyguard to be?"

Aveline was taken aback. "Not this close..."

Lucas let go of her and walked in as if it were his own home. "A bodyguard can only protect you from outside, not inside. Your request is impossible for them to fulfill." Aveline frowned. "Then what should I do? This house is too big. I'm scared to live here alone."

Lucas turned to her. "I can do it."

Aveline hesitated. "I don't really want that."

Lucas looked at her intently and asked, "What happened?"

Aveline exhaled and handed him her phone. "See for yourself."

Lucas took the phone and saw the photo.

Aveline sat on the sofa. "I was about to eat. Now I can't even have the appetite."

Lucas immediately made a call. "Maria, I need you to investigate somethi

He quickly gave some instructions, then ended the call and sat beside Aveline. Looking at the food on the coffee table, even though

he had already eaten, he suddenly felt hungry again.

Maybe it was because it had been too long since he had eaten her cooking.

They used to...

Lucas stopped himself from thinking further. He got up and went to the bathroom. When he returned, he was holding a set of utensils and a plate. Aveline was surprised to see him casually sit down on the carpet. What are you doing?"

Lucas replied, "You don't have the appetite, but I do."

With that, he picked up a piece of food with his fork and took a bite. The familiar taste spread through his mouth, and he quickly took another bite. Watching him devour the food, Aveline quickly sat down and started eating too.

If she didn't eat now, there wouldn't be anything left!
