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

Aveline immediately hung up the call.

Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't you answer?"

Aveline responded curtly, "That's none of your business."

Lucas chuckled, clearly amused, as if he hadn't expected this rebellious side of her.

Aveline kept her gaze out the window, but inside, she was tense.

Aveline frowned and turned to him. "Lucas, do you ever stop?"

His eyes locked onto hers. "Then why didn't you take the call?"

Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don't feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me." Lucas crossed his arms and leaned back, his handsome, sharp features becoming even colder and more distant. His eyes regarded her with a cool indifference.
