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

Chapter 890

"Happy New Year! How have you been lately?"

Russell's voice carried a hint of laughter.

Aveline replied, "Pretty good. I found my biological parents and have returned to Labor City."

"I saw the news, but I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet." Russell's tone surprisingly carried a note of loneliness.

Aveline lowered her gaze, unsure of what to say. Their relationship was just a thin layer of unspoken feelings away from changing everything. Once that layer was pierced, nothing would be the same. They both paused, the silence stretching between them.

"I'm going abroad."

After a long moment, Russell's voice finally broke the silence.

Aveline was taken aback. "Why the sudden decision to go abroad?"

"I'm sorry."

But instead of answering her question, Russell offered an apology.

The unexpected apology left Aveline stunned.
