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

The next day.

When Aveline arrived at the studio, she was shocked to see Sidney at his desk, his face covered in bruises and his fingers struggling to type on the keyboard.

She hurried over and asked, "Sidney, what happened to you?"

Sidney looked up at her and managed a smile, though the effort caused his lips to twitch in pain, contorting his expression.
