Chapter 32
Sophia sat next to Lucas, holding her phone and looking at recipes. Seeing a dish she liked, she leaned close to him. “Lucas, how about I make this dish? But we need to go to the supermarket; I don’t have enough ingredients at home.”
Lucas frowned slightly and suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
The driver immediately pulled over.
Sophia looked at him in confusion. “Lucas, what’s the meaning of this?”
Lucas addressed the driver, “Make sure Miss Winter gets home safely.” He then turned to Sophia. “I have something to do, so I need to leave.”
With that, he opened the car door and got out.
“Lucas…” Sophia called out to him, but he left without looking back.
Sophia clenched her phone, her expression quickly turning cold! She saw that Lucas had been looking at Facebook and he was looking at the post about Aveline. That was why he left
immediately!
He had promised to go to her house for dinner!
Could it be that Aveline really occupied his heart?
No! She absolutely would not allow that to happen!
Inside the bar, the lights flashed and swayed, creating a lively atmosphere.
Aveline dragged Russell back to the booth and patted Selena on the shoulder. “Look, I brought him back!”
Selena gave her a thumbs up. “Impressive!”
Aveline poured Russell a drink and handed it to him. “Hey, handsome, have a drink…”
But Russell didn’t take it. His roguishly handsome face showed a playful smile. “Just drinking like this? That’s too boring.”
Aveline blinked. “How do you want to drink, then?”
Russell stared at her, lined up about seven or eight glasses on the table, then picked up a bottle and filled them all.
“Drinking with me comes with conditions. If you drink all of these, I’ll drink with you. How about that?”
Aveline looked at the row of glasses, a bit dazed. “You’re pretty high maintenance.”
Russell’s eyes turned cold. “Are you going to drink them or not?”
Aveline put the glass down. “No, you’re really boring!”
“Hah!” Russell let out a cold laugh. “You dare to snatch my things away from me? Woman, you will drink all of these today, whether you want to or not!”
With a wave of his hand, several bodyguards suddenly appeared from nowhere, surrounding their booth. The music in the bar had somehow lowered, and everyone turned their attention to
them.
Aveline was stunned. She had never seen such a grand displa before.

“In this world, you can’t force someone to do something they don’t want to. Handsome, if you don’t want to drink, then please leave.”
Aveline sobered up a bit, realizing she had provoked someone extraordinary. Just from his demeanor, she knew he was not ordinary. She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, wondering why she acted so recklessly when she drank. How did she end up provoking such a person?
Russell replied, “Do you think you can just ask me to leave? Either you drink, or…”
“Fine, I’ll drink! Isn’t that enough? A big man like you being so petty.” Aveline pressed her temples in frustration and picked up a glass, drinking it in one go.
“Ave…” Selena was slightly taken aback by the scene.
But Aveline continued to drink one glass after another. If one looked closely, they could see tears welling up in her eyes. Her mind wasn’t focused on the current predicament but on Lucas‘ cold and handsome face.
It still hurt. Just thinking about him made her heart ache. Why was it so hard to forget someone?
She wondered if drinking these would help her forget all the bad memories.
She drank fiercely, and even Russell, who had a nonchalant smile on his face, was stunned.
