Chapter 31
"Hey?"
As Selena saw Aveline stagger to her feet and squint before walking towards the handsome gray-haired guy, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Not bad, not bad! Dump the jerk and start a new life!"
Russell Skyler, holding an earpiece to his ear with one hand and adjusting the music with the other, exuded a devilish charm. When he smiled, it was utterly captivating. Several girls were watching his actions a Aveline pushed through the crowd and went straight to him. "Hey, handsome, want a drink?"
Russell, still holding the earpiece, didn't hear Aveline clearly. He continued to manipulate the music slowly and casually, his eyes downcast.
"Why is he ignoring me?" Aveline's cheeks were flushed.
Suddenly, she reached out and snatched the earpiece from him, putting it aside. "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
The music was deafening, but the atmosphere around them instantly became deathly quiet. Everyone turned to look at Aveline, including Russell.
No one had ever dared to take something from his hand before. He looked at her displeased, "What did you say?"
Aveline made a drinking gesture. "Want a drink?"
Russell smiled, but his gaze grew colder. "Sure."
He agreed! The others who heard his response were wide-eyed in
shock.
Everyone in the business knew Russell's reputation; the wilder he smiled, the harder he played! Anyone who provoked him would have a terrible ending.
This woman, clueless and audacious, took his stuff and would probably be toyed with to death later!
But Aveline didn't sense the danger. She smiled at him. "Come over, I have drinks here..."
Not far away, Selena kept an eye on the commotion.
When Selena saw Russell follow Aveline down from the stage, her eyes widened. She quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture of them walking side by side, and posted it on her social media. Selena wrote, "There are plenty of other fish in the sea!"
The picture was of Russell and Aveline walking together.
Hmph. She was friends with Lucas on Facebook. He would definitely see it!
She wanted him to see that her dear Ave wasn't dependent on him!
Did he think being part of the Tudor family made him special? In reality, no one cared!
At the hospital, Lucas accompanied Sophia for a check-up. The result was that the pain was caused by an old injury. She needed to keep herself warm and avoid strenuous activities.
Sophia's face showed a bit of guilt. "I'm really sorry to trouble you over nothing. I just didn't expect my leg to hurt so much today."
Lucas asked, "Can you walk?"
Sophia nodded. "Yes, I can."
Her eyes held a bit of admiration as she looked at him. "Lucas, why don't you come to my place? I'll cook for you. My cooking is still as good as it used to be."
Upon hearing this, Lucas paused, remembering Aveline's call telling him to meet her at the lawyer's office.
For some inexplicable reason, an irritation welled up in his heart. "Lucas?" Sophia asked, puzzled when he didn't respond.
"Okay," Lucas agreed immediately and walked out of the hospital first.
Hearing this, Sophia's face lit up with joy. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she quickly followed him.
Once in the car, Lucas took out his phone to check messages. When the screen unlocked, it directly displayed the social media interface, and Selena's post immediately caught his eye. The photo was dimly lit, but he instantly recognized the woman in it as Aveline!
Ha! She went to a bar?
Did she go there because they were getting divorced and couldn't wait to start living freely?NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
