Lucas agreed, and a wave of excitement surged through Aveline's heart.

He agreed! He finally agreed!

The marriage that had caused her so much pain, despair, and heartache was finally going to end!

Aveline struggled to contain her excitement, her eyes fixed on his handsome features. "Are you serious? You're not joking with me, right?"

Lucas gave a slight nod. "I'm serious, Aveline. When it comes to discussing divorce, have I ever been the one to back down?"

He looked at her with a faint smile, almost teasing.

Aveline was speechless.

Alright, she admitted it. She had been the one who wavered every time. First, there was the situation with Annie, and now there was the mess with Hilda. But this time, she was certain that the outcome wouldn't be like before. She believed things would be different on the third try.

Lucas still held her hand firmly. "Since I said I'm going to win you back, I need to show some sincerity. I won't do what you dislike, and I'll double down on everything you love. Aveline, when I say I love you, I mean it." The cracks in the walls around her heart seemed to deepen a little more. She didn't respond to his words.

Just then, her phone rang, and she was immensely grateful for the interruption.

She looked at the screen-it was Selena.

"Hello?"

Selena's anxious voice burst through. "Where are you, my dear? Are you okay?"

Aveline replied, "I went to Arthur Town for a bit. What's going on?"
