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

Aveline had decided to completely ignore him.

However... she glanced up at him just as he finished another phone call.

"Hmm?" Lucas noticed her gaze and looked back at her with an easy, relaxed expression.

The coldness in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a gentle warmth that seemed to draw her in like he wanted to melt her with his gaze.

"I'm going to see Zane," she said.

Lucas nodded. "Go ahead."

Aveline continued, "You've been tormenting his son. Won't you feel any guilt when you see him?"

Lucas gave a faint smile. "Are you asking me to release Bobby?"

Aveline replied, "I still believe he's innocent."

Lucas' deep, intense eyes studied her carefully. "Aveline, Zane has already taken the money. Whether Bobby is innocent or not doesn't matter much anymore." Aveline felt the urge to argue but found herself at a loss for words.
