After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 765

Lucas carried her into the bathroom, a hint of amusement playing in his eyes as he washed her. "See? My service is quite thorough. Are you comfortable?"

After the intense passion they had just shared, Aveline’s body felt weak and limp, but her tone was icy. “Very comfortable. How much do I owe you?”

Lucas paused mid-wash, a dangerous glint appearing in his eyes. "What did you just say?"

Aveline continued as if she hadn’t noticed, "Based on market rates, your skills and service were decent. How about a thousand bucks?"

Lucas laughed in disbelief. This woman—she was treating him like some hired plaything!

He squeezed her gently, teasingly. “Seems you’re satisfied with my service. How about we continue?”

Aveline met his gaze coolly.

Lucas didn't hold back, bending down to capture her lips in a deep kiss, only letting go when he felt her breath become uneven.

Aveline reached up to push him away, but he simply resumed washing her.

Resigned, she leaned against his shoulder and said, “Your fever’s down, and I’m fine too. Let’s head to the lawyer’s office afterward.”

For a moment, Lucas didn’t know what to say.

They were in such an intimate position, having just shared such a passionate moment, and now she was talking about getting a divorce...

But he couldn’t argue. He had agreed to it.

“Fine,” he replied, pulling a towel over and wrapping her in it.

Aveline pushed him away. “I can walk by myself.”

Lucas didn’t stop her, watching her slender figure as she moved away, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

She was such a cold-hearted woman to just forget all their intimacy as she put on her dress.

After dressing, Aveline returned upstairs, freshened up, had a light breakfast, and grabbed her documents. She headed back downstairs.

Lucas replied, "I seem to have a strange connection with this place."

Aveline's mouth twitched, but she didn’t respond.

They went through the formalities, following the steps one by one. But once again, things stalled at the point where they needed to settle the division of marital assets.

Aveline said, "I don't want a penny. I'll leave with nothing."

Lucas countered, "How can that be? You’re my wife, and you’ve stood by me through tough times. I insist on compensating you. I’ll have my lawyer calculate my assets, and then we’ll divide them."

Aveline frowned. "You agreed so quickly. Were you planning this all along?"

Lucas' expression remained calm. "Not at all."

Aveline insisted, "Then let’s do it my way. I’ll leave with nothing. No money. Let's get this done now."

Lucas looked at her deeply for a long moment before finally turning to the clerk. "Do as she says."
