Divorced 304
She looked at Lucas with a sincere expression, desperately explaining as if she feared he might misunderstand her.
Lucas' face remained indifferent and aloof. "I didn't think much of it."
Sophia sighed in relief. "That's a relief. I was really afraid you might misunderstand me and end up having a conflict with Miss Young."
She paused and added, "But I noticed that Miss Young seemed unhappy. Did you two have a fight?"
Lucas didn't respond, merely looking at her coldly
Sophia realized her mistake and quickly said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't pry into your marital affairs. I was just thinking, we should consider ourselves friends now, right?" Lucas asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
His tone was detached, completely different from before.
Sophia bit her lip lightly and said, "No, nothing else. I won't bother you anymore."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
With that, she turned and walked away. She was wearing shorts that exposed her prosthetic leg, making it quite noticeable.
Lucas' gaze fell on her prosthetic leg, his eyes darkening.
Aveline walked out of the villa and into the garden. The fresh air cleared her mind.
As dusk fell, the garden lights had already come on. She strolled around, stopping occasionally to admire the beautiful flowers.
She couldn't leave now and even had to stay the night. The thought of spending the night in the same room as Lucas made her very uncomfortable.
"Miss Young."
Sophia's voice came from behind.
Aveline turned around, her clear eyes looking at her calmly. "What can I do for you, Miss Winter?"
Sophia approached, her face showing a gentle smile. "I can tell you no longer love Lucas. So why don't you divorce him?"
Aveline's tone grew colder. "You'll have to ask him about that."
Sophia was surprised. "Is it Lucas who refuses to divorce? I think it's because you saved him. He's always valued gratitude highly. For example, he once promised to marry me. However, he reconsidered and decided your kindness to him was greater, so he canceled that plan and
compensated me in other ways."
Aveline's expression turned even colder. "So, what are you trying to say?"
Sophia looked at her seriously and said, "If you truly want a divorce, I can help you."
A hint of caution flashed in Aveline's eyes. "Does Lucas know about your two-faced nature?"
Sophia was a bit unhappy but still said, "Miss Young, I only want to help because I see you're unhappy
in a marriage built on gratitude. There's no need to mock me."
Aveline responded coldly, "I don't need your help.
With that, she turned and walked away.
Sophia stared at her back, a cold and sinister glint in her eyes.
She claimed she wanted to divorce Lucas, but when offered help, she refused!
Hypocritical!
Pretentious!
This woman just wanted to stay with Lucas forever.
Saying she wanted a divorce was merely to provoke Lucas.
What a clever tactic!
