Chapter 260
She took several deep breaths to calm herself before walking over to him and tugging at the belt of his robe.
Lucas watched her actions with a slight raise of his eyebrow. The next moment, he noticed a blush creeping up her fair face.
A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes as he remained still, watching her intently.
Aveline dressed him in a shirt first, followed by trousers. While threading the belt, she accidentally brushed against his private part.
Lucas immediately grabbed her wrist, his voice low and questioning, Aveline, are you doing this on purpose?”
Aveline was already blushing, but she forced herself to remain calm. If you can’t control yourself, how is that my fault?”
Lucas stared at her for a long moment before releasing her hand. ” Continue.”
Aveline’s lashes fluttered as she fastened the belt buckle. When she finally finished, she turned away and exhaled a deep breath.
“It’s finally done,” she thought.
But the thought of having to take care of him like this for many days to come made her frown.
She felt overwhelmed!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Aveline walked over to open it. It was the room service staff with their breakfast. She stepped aside to let him in.
The waiter set the breakfast on the table and then left.
Without paying attention to Lucas, Aveline sat down and began to eat.
HA HONUS
Lucas came out, saw the scene, and his gaze deepened. He pulled out. the chair next to her and sat down.
For a moment, the atmosphere between them was harmonious.
At Celestial Heights.
Lucas was very busy.
The main purpose of his visit to Arthur Town was for an on–site inspection. Encountering Aveline was a coincidence.
However, it turned out to be a beneficial one.
He sat at the table, reviewing documents with a dignified and indifferent expression.
Aveline, on the other hand, sat on the sofa, idly playing mobile games.
Lucas hadn’t broken his left hand; it was just a flesh wound. With
proper care, it would heal quickly.
Once Zachary’s issue was resolved, she could leave Arthur Town.
Once back in the city, Aveline contemplated having a serious discussion with him about their divorce.
They had been caught in this entanglement for so long without any positive outcome. It would be better to end it sooner, allowing each of them to pursue their own happiness rather than remaining together and both being miserable.
Aveline realized this, and a sense of calm washed over her.
“Pour me a glass of water.”
At that moment, Lucas‘ deep, pleasant voice rang out.
Aveline put down her phone and got up to pour him a glass of water. Watching him work so intently, she couldn’t help but sav.
“You‘
injured. You should rest more.”

“Min,” Lucas responded indifferently, clearly not taking her words seriously.
Aveline didn’t bother with him anymore. She sat back on the sofa and continued playing on her phone.
Lucas glanced at her and saw her laughing foolishly at some mindless
videos.
He said coldly, “If you have nothing to do, come and work with me.” Aveline replied, “I already resigned.”
Lucas said, “But I haven’t approved it yet. Right now, you’re absent without leave and owe the company for losses.”
Aveline, looking unconcerned, said, “Oh, then go ahead and sue me.
Lucas‘ breath deepened, his patience thinning.
“You’re from Arthur Town. You should know what the local specialties are. Go buy some for me.”
Aveline retorted, “No.”
Lucas, struggling to keep his temper in check, said, “Aveline, is this how you take care of someone?”
