Chapter 71
It was late at night, and the surroundings were completely silent. There wasn’t a single person in sight, let alone any taxis.
Remembering the strange phone call she had received, Aveline felt. more and more uneasy.
She clutched her bag tightly and said, “We’re about to get divorced. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for me to stay at your place?”
“Are we divorced yet?” Lucas asked, looking at her.
Aveline replied, “No.”
Lucas continued, “Then what are you hesitating for? What, are you afraid you won’t be able to control yourself and make a move on me?
Aveline looked at him as if he were crazy. “Haha, you’re so full of yourself!”
With that, she walked straight to his car. Make a move on him? That was absolutely impossible!
Lucas watched her back, the smile on his lips deepening.
At the Tudor residence, the butler had been informed of Lucas‘ return, and the entire villa was brightly lit.
Aveline walked in, saw the butler, and suddenly thought of
something. She asked in confusion, “Have you been here the whole. time?”
The butler was about to nod when he caught sight of Lucas‘ gaze. He straightened up and quickly said, “I was just about to finish my shift. I stayed to wait for Mr. Lucas, so I hadn’t left yet.”
He looked at Lucas, “Mr. Lucas, now that you’re back, I’ll head home.”
“Alright, stay safe on your way back,” Lucas replied.
The butler turned and left.
Aveline suspiciously watched the butler’s retreating figure. Was that really the case? Why did something feel off?
Lucas asked, “Aren’t you tired?”
Aveline pulled her gaze back and blinked, “Where am I sleeping?”
Lucas replied, “There are plenty of rooms here. Choose whichever one you like.”
Aveline nodded and started trying to open doors, but each one she tried was locked.
What was going on? So many rooms and none of them were accessible?
She turned to look at Lucas, only to see him heading towards the master bedroom.
“Hey!” Aveline called out, but he showed no sign of stopping.
She hurried to catch up and blocked his way. “Didn’t you hear me?”
Lucas looked at her calmly, “Do I not have a name?”
Aveline paused and then asked, “Why are all the room doors locked?
Lucas said, “I just got back. I have no idea.”
Aveline hesitated, “Then where am I supposed to sleep?”
Lucas opened the door to the master bedroom and said, “This door opens.”
Aveline was speechless.
Something was definitely not right. Something was very, very wrong!
Lucas didn’t look at her and went straight into the master bedroom, starting to unbutton his shirt. As he moved, he pulled off his tie and tossed it aside, followed by his shirt and jacket.
Aveline’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened as she watched. His physique was truly impressive, and even such simple actions carried an irresistible and seductive appeal.
She found herself struggling to cope.
Well, she had initially been attracted by his looks; otherwise, why would she have taken him home?
“Enjoying the view?”
His deep, pleasant voice suddenly broke through her thoughts.
Aveline snapped back to reality, her pale face flushing red. “I’m not watching you!”
She walked inside and lay down on the sofa. With the other rooms locked, there was no way she would sleep in the master bed. That would be like walking into the lion’s den.
Lucas chuckled softly at her actions and walked over, his shirt now completely unbuttoned.
