Chapter 453
Lucas tightened his grip, causing Aveline to wince in pain. She looked at him, her eyes questioning what he was doing.
His narrowed eyes grew colder, and he said calmly, “I suggest you abandon those thoughts. If you really hurt Grandma just to get a smooth divorce, not only will I not divorce you, but I will also change my social status to a ‘widower‘.
Aveline was speechless.
How did he know what she was thinking?
Could this man read minds?
Lucas seemed to read her expression again and said nonchalantly, “Your desire for a divorce is written all over your face. Do you think I’m blind and can’t see it?”
Aveline remained silent.
Their voices were low, and Lucas was very close to Aveline. To outsiders, it looked like they were flirting.
Frederick watched this scene, his blood pressure rising. He slammed the table heavily. “Lucas, are you even listening to me?”
Lucas looked at him. “I am. I won’t divorce her.”
Frederick’s expression turned particularly ugly. “Even if this woman is after your money and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, you still want to stay. with her?”
Lucas suddenly chuckled and looked at Aveline. “Are you after my money?”
Aveline pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
Lucas turned to Frederick. “I actually wish she was after my money. That way, she wouldn’t be thinking about divorce.”
What?!
Aveline wanted to divorce Lucas?

A look of shock crossed Frederick’s face!
This was beyond his imagination!
He had thought that a girl from an ordinary background like Aveline would try every means to hold on to Lucas once she married into a wealthy family and would never consider divorce!
Unexpectedly, the one wanting a divorce was her!
And the one refusing to divorce was Lucas!
Frederick felt both angry and amused, his expression still dark and grim.
“If she wants a divorce, why don’t you agree? Aren’t you wasting her life?”
Lucas continued to play with Aveline’s hand, his handsome face showing a faint expression. “Her life is incomplete without me.”
Aveline was speechless.
He was so shameless!
Frederick also thought Lucas was shameless, but he couldn’t directly say it. He snorted coldly and looked at Aveline. “Do you really want a divorce?”
Without hesitation, Aveline nodded. “Yes, so can you help me?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the grip on her hand tightened even more, and a chilling gaze fell directly on her. Aveline tried her best to ignore it.
If Frederick helped her, she might actually get the divorce she wanted.
Lucas sneered. “I don’t agree to the divorce, Even if the president of the
country appears before us and demands our divorce, I won’t let you go, Aveline!
“I
Aveline frowned, showing her reluctance.
At this moment, Yvonne spoke up. “Lucas, maybe Aveline truly loves someone else? You can’t stand in the way of her happiness.”
Lucas‘ expression remained cold. “She loves me. She’s head over heels for me.

Frederick couldn’t hold back. “How did end up with such a shameless son!”
Lucas replied, “Must be genetic.”
Frederick’s chest heaved with anger, wondering how he could have given birth to such a scoundrel. It was infuriating!
Lucas said icily, “Stay out of my and Aveline’s business. If you don’t, you’ll
regret it. Now, let’s discuss Grandma’s situation.”
