Chapter 194


    Aveline stood up to leave.


    Lucas didn’t stop her, and only after she hadpletely left the dining room did his gaze lose its intensity.


    At that moment, the butler said, “Mr. Lucas, we have ced all those things in the warehouse. What do you n to do with them<b>?</b><b>”</b>


    Lucas responded indifferently, “Leave them for now.


    The butler nodded <b>and </b>said no more.


    Aveline left the Tudor residence, which was quite remote, requiring a two–kilometer walk to the nearest bus stop.


    After walking for about five minutes, she heard the roar of a car engine behind her<b>.</b>


    “Beep!”


    The sound of the horn made Aveline instinctively nce to the side, only to see Lucas‘ cold, stern face.


    “You’ve been out this long and only made it this far?”


    Aveline’s face darkened. “Are you crazy?”This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucas sneered, stepped on the gas, <b>and </b>the car sped off, leaving her in a cloud of exhaust fumes.


    Fuming, Aveline stomped her foot and continued walking expressionlessly.


    Just as she was about to reach the bus stop, the car returned. The <b>door </b>opened, and without looking at her, Lucas coldly said, “Get in.‘


    Aveline ignored him and kept walking. Lucas drove alongside her, quickly attracting the attention of passersby.


    Aveline frowned, not wanting to be the center of attention. ncing at the open passenger door, she instead opened the back door and got in..


    “Let’s go.”


    Her tone was cold and indifferent.


    Lucas felt as though a dull knife had sliced across his heart, causing a sharp pain<b>.</b>


    He frowned. “I’m not your driver. Sit in the front.”


    Aveline replied, “No, I’m morefortable in the back”


    After she spoke, Aveline closed her eyes <b>and </b>ceasedmunicating with <b>him</b>.

    Lucas gave her a deep look, said nothing further, <b>and </b>started the car to move forward. At a traffic light, Lucas‘ phone rang. He looked <b>at </b>it, his expression flickering briefly before he answered, “Sophia.”


    Hearing his call, a wave of impatience surged through Aveline.


    “Alright, I’ming over now.”


    Whatever Sophia had said, Lucas immediately turned around and headed for the hospital.


    “Drop me off up ahead; it’s not far from the office,” Aveline said.


    “You haven’t apologized to Sophia yet,” Lucas replied coldly.


    Aveline’s temper red. “Why should I apologize to her? I’ve said it before, I didn’t kidnap her!”


    “But all the evidence points to you,” Lucas stated.


    Aveline’s fingers curled tightly, her fingertips whitening from the force. She took a couple of deep breaths and said, “Let me out. I’ll find the evidence. I will prove I didn’t kidnap her.”


    Lucas remained silent.


    Tears of frustration welled up in Aveline’s eyes. “Lucas, you’re such a jerk!”


    He showed no reaction, and the car steadily came to <b>a </b>stop in the hospital parking lot. After turning off the engine, he looked at her. Seeing his gaze, Aveline averted her eyes, her look one of cold disdain. Lucas‘ expression grew colder. Suddenly, he got out of the car, opened the back door, and climbed in.


    “What are you-“Aveline started, taken aback. She instinctively asked what he was doing, but he seized her chin, and a fierce, fiery kiss enveloped her.
