After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Chapter 245

Lucas smirked. "Then why were you staring at me? Do you like me?"

As he spoke, his lips curved into a faint smile.

He reached out to caress her face. "I know you've always liked me, but there's no need to be so obvious. Otherwise, I might not be able to resist doing something right here."

Aveline was speechless, thinking, "Is he crazy?"

She quickly got up from his lap, her cheeks feeling warm, and headed straight for the bathroom.

Lucas watched her retreating back, the smile on his lips fading slightly before he returned to his work.

Aveline splashed cold water on her face, trying to calm down.

Otherwise, she might not be able to resist slapping him. She reminded herself that she needed to ask him for a favor, so she had to be patient and humble.

A bitter smile appeared on her face. She was his wife, yet to get him to do something, she had to lower herself and cater to him. She felt like a failure as a wife. Then again, he was even more of a failure as a husband.
