Divorced 34
Lucas held Aveline, looking at her flushed, drunken face with a deep frown. "Ave, I'm taking you home."
"Who are you?" Aveline's vision was blurry, and feeling someone holding her, she immediately started to struggle. Lucas patiently said, "It's me, Lu."
Hearing his voice, Aveline paused for a moment, then struggled even harder. "Get off me, you bastard! Don't touch me!" Lucas' face darkened.
Russell's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Buddy, didn't you hear her? She doesn't want you touching her."
Lucas shot him a cold look. "This is between me and my wife. It's none of your business."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Russell's smile faltered.
Wife?
Watching Aveline struggle, an inexplicable anger flared up inside him. "It doesn't look like it. How about you show me your marriage certificate to prove you're her husband? Otherwise, I can't just hand her over. Lucas' handsome face grew even colder, his expression
darkened. He pulled the marriage certificate out of his pocket. Is this clear enough for you?"
Russell stared at it for a moment, reaching out to take it.
But Lucas quickly put the certificate away. "Since when did the rebellious heir from the Skyler family like playing a hero? Does
your family know about your sudden change of heart?"
Russell narrowed his eyes. "You know me? Who are you?"
Ignoring him, Lucas turned away, carrying Aveline out of the bar. "Hey, where are you taking Ave?" Selena hurried after them.
Outside the bar, Lucas's cold gaze fell on Selena. "Did you bring her to a place like this?"
Selena felt a chill down her spine under his stare, but she still said, "Where Ave and I go is none of your business! Let her go!" She stepped forward to try to take Aveline back.
Lucas coldly watched her actions. "Looks like you don't want to stay in Cloudflare City anymore."
Selena froze. "Lucas, you're despicable!"
Lucas ignored her and got into the car with Aveline. The car quickly disappeared into the night.
Selena stomped her foot in frustration. "How infuriating!"
Aveline was restless, occasionally reaching out to grab
something or kicking her legs. Lucas had to hold her to keep her from hurting herself. Watching her in this drunken state, his frown deepened.
She drank so much-did she have a death wish?
The car stopped at the Tudor residence, and the security guards. opened the gate. Lucas carried Aveline out of the car and quickly strode into the villa. Alfred Tucker, the butler, saw them and hurriedly asked,
"Mr.

Lucas, what happened?"
Lucas replied, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some ginger tea."
"Yes, sir." Alfred quickly went to give the instructions.
Lucas placed Aveline on the bed in the bedroom. When he stood up, his clothes were in complete disarray, with one of his shirt buttons missing because Aveline had grabbed it. "Ugh... Where is this? I want to go home, go home..." Aveline tried to get up, looking around the room in a daze, finding it completely unfamiliar.
Lucas pressed her shoulders down. "Aveline, look at me."
Her face was very red, and she tried to open her eyes wide, but everything still seemed blurry. She slapped him on the head.
"What? Stop shaking me! You're making me dizzy!"
Lucas closed his eyes tightly, the veins on his temple throbbing. He realized she was deliberately trying to get back at him!
