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

Leo called for a tow truck, which took about forty minutes to arrive.

After the car was towed, they began walking toward the bus stop. The two-kilometer walk took nearly twenty minutes, with frequent breaks due to Aveline's weakened state.

By the time they reached the stop near Maple Gardens, night had already fallen. The winter sky grew dark early, and the cold evening air hung around them.

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, right? I'm a good cook. Stay for a meal before you go," she insisted again.

Leo was about to decline, but his stomach growled loudly, betraying him. They both laughed.

"Well, I guess I can't say no to that," Leo said, amused.
