After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 772

Aveline paused for a moment, processing his words.

Lucas stood up and said, "I made a little breakfast. What else do you want to eat?”

He was being a bit too considerate.

Aveline walked straight to the dining area and saw the table set with pancakes, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a side of fresh fruit.

Lucas making pancakes early in the morning? She couldn’t quite picture it.

"No need," she replied. This was more than enough.

Lucas sat down beside her, and they began eating together.

...

After breakfast, as Aveline headed out, she suddenly noticed something new near the doorway, close to the corner of the wall. She glanced up and saw a camera.

Noticing her gaze, Lucas explained, "That's the visible camera. There's also a hidden one. Give me your phone."

Aveline looked at him suspiciously. "Why?"

"I'm going to download an app so you can view the surveillance footage on your phone," Lucas said.

Hearing this, her skepticism faded, and she handed him the phone.

After a few quick taps, Lucas handed the phone back to her.

Aveline checked it, opened the app, and saw her and Lucas’ images appear on the screen. The picture quality was remarkably clear.

She looked at him. "How much did it cost?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "You want to pay?"

Aveline replied, "I don’t like owing people favors."

"In that case, give me a kiss," Lucas said, tapping his cheek with his finger.

Aveline’s expression immediately turned cold, and she turned to leave.

Lucas added, "No need to look at me like that. I won’t deceive you."

Aveline looked away, leaving the door open, and Lucas followed her inside. After she finished getting ready, he said, "I’m taking you to try on some dresses and get styled."

Aveline paused. If he wanted her to play the role of Mrs. Tudor, it must be for an important occasion, which indeed warranted dressing up. She decided not to ask further questions.

By the time they finished picking everything out, it was nearly ten o’clock.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled up slowly to the entrance of a seven-star hotel. As they arrived, Aveline immediately noticed a life-sized poster by the entrance.

She stopped in her tracks. It was a wedding photo of Russell and Rina!

She turned sharply to Lucas. "The important occasion you mentioned… is it Russell's wedding?"

Lucas met her gaze. "That’s right. Aren’t you friends? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you not to attend his wedding?"

He looked as if he was considering her feelings, but she knew all too well—he just wanted to stir up some drama!
