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

Aveline hesitated, suddenly considering a possibility she hadn't thought of before. Could Lucas have secretly arranged for her protection? Maybe those two men were actually there to keep an eye on her. Her feelings grew more complicated.

Selena chimed in, "Even if he's trying to protect you, Aveline, it's likely for his own reasons."

Aveline sighed. "I just don't get it."

"What don't you get?"

"I don't understand what he really wants," Aveline said with a hint of frustration. "When I was by his side, he was always unpredictable. But now that I'm not around, he seems to be even more intense." She suddenly turned to Selena. "Do you think there's really something wrong with him?"

Selena laughed at her comment. "Well, if you put it that way, maybe he does have some issues."

After all, how else could you explain his constant mood swings and erratic behavior?

Aveline shook her head. "Forget it. I won't overthink it. Once I finish the design for his villa, I can finally walk away."

Selena nodded. "Yeah, no need to dwell on it."

After that unsettling experience, Aveline made sure never to stay late at the office again. She shut down her computer and left promptly at the end of each workday. And the strange man who had scared her so much never reappeared.

One day, she received a call from Yvonne. She was surprised-members of the Tudor family rarely contacted her, mostly because they looked down on her. But why was Yvonne suddenly reaching out?

"Hello?" Aveline answered the call.
