Chapter 372
Aveline’s eyelashes trembled. “What do you mean?”
Lucas touched her face lightly, then turned and walked away.

Aveline instinctively stood up. “Lucas, what do you mean? Explain yourself!”
But Lucas had already gone upstairs, leaving her without any explanation.
Aveline couldn’t understand his intentions, and her heart sank.
What did he want? She had already stopped mentioning divorce. What more did he want from her?
She gripped her utensil tightly, her fingers trembling slightly from the effort.
After a long while, she calmed down and sat back down to eat. She had to eat well; no one would take care of her, so she had to take care of herself.
After finishing a bowl of cereal, she stood up to leave.
The butler blocked her path. “Mrs. Tudor, Mr. Tudor has instructed that from today, you will be living here.”
Aveline pursed her lips slightly.
As his wife, she indeed should live by his side.
“I need to go back and pack my things,” she said.
The butler nodded slightly and did not stop her.
Aveline returned to Selena’s house, packed her belongings, and cleaned the house. She even bought a new sofa, throwing out the old one.
By the time she finished everything, it was completely dark outside.
She returned to the Tudor residence.
The butler sent servants to help move her things, which only consisted of a few boxes, up to the bedroom.
The bedroom had a cold color scheme, with dark gray sheets and duvet covers, exuding a strong sense of restraint.
Aveline lowered her eyes slightly and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Lying on the bed, she still felt somewhat surreal.
She had actually moved in just like that. Thinking about Lucas‘ previous words made Aveline inexplicably agitated.
She soon understood what he meant.
The next day, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone. She answered, “Hello?”

Selena’s voice came through, “Ave, you’re still sleeping? Haven’t you seen the news? That scumbag Lucas hooked up with a celebrity!”
Aveline’s eyes snapped open. “What did you say?”
Selena was furious. “Check today’s top trending topic!”
Without hanging up, Aveline opened the app, and the top trending topic was about Lucas and the celebrity.
The headline was eye–catching. She clicked on it and saw a pixelated video posted by the informant. Opening the video, she saw a shaky camera capturing Lucas and a woman wearing a hat and mask entering a hotel together.
After spending the night, they left the hotel together, behaving intimately.
A sharp pain stabbed at Aveline’s heart.
She gripped her phone tightly.
“Ave, can you believe this guy? He’s a total jerk. What a loser, not doing anything worthwhile all day. It’s bad enough he’s messing around, but why can’t he just leave you alone? He won’t give you a divorce – is he trying to make you sick of him on purpose?” Selena’s voice was dripping with disgust.
Aveline closed her eyes. She might have understood what Lucas meant by his words last night.
He could let her return to his side as Mrs. Tudor.
But she didn’t have the ability to make him the Lu she once knew.
He was Lucas Tudor.
As the CEO of DK Group, he could have anything he wanted.
Making her feel what it meant to be heartbroken was just as easy.
