Chapter 103
Aveline’s breathing was still a bit fast, her eyes alluringly tinged with red at the corners, but her gaze remained cold and emotionless,
Lucas didn’t want to see her so composed.
Yet, it seemed he could do nothing about it.
The bed was still in disarray, and the atmosphere between them was tense and oppressive, with an unspoken and indescribable feeling hanging in the air.
After a long while, Lucas got up and went straight to the bathroom.
Aveline closed her eyes, her breathing now calm..
By the time she finished tidying up, it was too late to make breakfast. She left without looking back, intending to buy a sandwich at the breakfast shop.
Lucas came downstairs, and the car was already waiting, but Aveline had walked to the entrance of the complex.
Brian, who was driving, had a serious expression. “Mr. Tudor, Miss. Young just walked past.”
Lucas replied, “So what?”
Brian asked, “Should we give her a ride?”
Lucas, sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes. “What do you think?”
Brian kept quiet.
Why make him guess? He had no idea!
Brian kep
stopping bo
straight face as he drove to the complex entrance,
Aveline. “Miss Young, do you need a lift?”
Aveline said, “No, thank you.”
Brian replied, “Okay,”
He rolled up the window and drove off.
In the back seat, Lucas opened his eyes, his gaze icy as he looked Brian.
Brian felt a chill down his spine, confused. “Mr. Tudor, what’s wrong?”
Lucas stared at him for a moment longer before closing his eyes again.

At the company, Aveline threw herself completely into her work.
At noon, she went out to buy a special laundry detergent for Russell’s clothes, planning to wash them thoroughly when she go
home.
Unexpectedly, Aveline saw Sophia and another girl shopping at the
mall.
The girl bought a necklace for Sophia and said with a smile, ” Sophia, this necklace looks great on you. Consider it a birthday gift. Sophia smiled gently. “Thank you, love it.”
The girl said, “Your birthday is coming up in a few days. I wonder what Mr. Tudor will get you this time. Since he returned, he has really improved the Cloudflare City branch, He’ll probably be back at
ters soon. Sophia, I’ll need your help them

Sophia blushed. “Don’t say that. Lugas and I are just friends.”
“Don’t hide it. Mr. Tudor holds you dear. Just wall and see what he gets you for your birthday this time. I still remember the gemstone necklace he gave you two years ago, worth over six hundred thousand dollars. That shows he really values you.”
They walked away, chatting and laughing.
Aveline, holding her shopping bags, felt a bit dazed.
Two years ago.
Lucas and Sophia were a perfect match.
She was just an intruder in their world.
Now she wanted to leave but found herself trapped.
She lowered her eyes, pushing the thoughts away, and left the mall.
That evening.
As soon as Aveline stepped inside, she heard a knock at the door.
Looking through the peephole, she saw it was Lancas. Her face darkened, and she decided not to open the door.
That so–called close protection she saw it as ulterior motives!
She took the clothes and went to the bathroom, ignoring the noise at the door.
But soon, she was drawn out by a commotion. She saw her door being opened, and Lucas walked in, followed by the apartment complex’s staff, who were bowing and flattering him.
