Lucas watched her, a touch of helplessness flickering across his handsome face. Instead of heading to the guest room, he sat down on the living room sofa, lighting a cigarette. The sharp click of the lighter echoed loudly in the quiet room.

Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was his bodyguard calling. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Winter has been taken back by her family."

"Alright," Lucas replied indifferently, not giving the matter much thought.

His mind was entirely occupied with figuring out how to get Aveline to forgive him and take him back.

Aveline lay in bed, reading the news with a blank expression. After a moment, she got up, washed up, and opened her bedroom door. She immediately saw Lucas, wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen and placing a plate on the dining table.

"You're up? Perfect timing, breakfast is ready."

Aveline walked over, glancing at the simple breakfast he had prepared- omelettes and a few side dishes. Without hesitation, she sat down and started eating.

Seeing this, Lucas raised an eyebrow and asked, "How does it taste?"

Aveline replied, "It's average."
