He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but Aveline avoided his touch.

"Don't touch me," she said, wiping her face hurriedly.

He seemed to want to say something, but the words wouldn't come. He just stared at her, feeling a constricting pain in his chest. Seeing the hurt and sadness in her eyes, he felt lost and panicked. Aveline sniffled. "Lucas, let's divorce, okay? You have so many capable people around you who can protect Sophia. I just want a peaceful life, one without you."

Lucas' lips pressed into a straight line.
