Aveline thought about Lucas' proposal for three days but couldn't come to a conclusion. That afternoon, she received a call from Barbara.

Aveline was quite surprised and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Barbara's aged voice came through, "What? After the divorce, you don't come to see me anymore? I admit I said some harsh things before and forgot some details. Lucas has told me everything; I wronged you."

Aveline was taken aback. This proud old woman was actually apologizing to her? She almost wanted to check if pigs were flying outside.

However, considering she was a sick elderly woman, Aveline decided not to hold a grudge. "I've been busy with work. I'll make time to visit you."

Barbara replied, "Come over this afternoon. I'll send someone to pick you up. There are many things I don't understand, and I want you to explain them to me."

Aveline instinctively frowned. "But..."

Barbara interrupted, "Do I have to invite you personally?"

Aveline felt a hint of pressure. The current Barbara was very different from her when she was ill. Aveline had no choice but to agree. "Alright."
