Divorced

Aveline looked at Barbara in astonishment.

She never expected that the once kind and even doting old lady would now look at her with such cold eyes and malicious suspicion.

A wave of heartache washed over her. She realized that being hurt by someone close could be just as painful as Lucas’s betrayal.

She pressed her lips together, then took out her phone and dialed Lucas’s number.

“Hello?”

The call was quickly answered, and the man’s cool, magnetic voice came through.

Aveline said, “Grandma has something to discuss with us. Come to the hospital.”

Lucas asked, “What’s going on?”

Aveline replied, “You’ll know when you get here.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Discussing the divorce should be done in front of both of them. What use was it to just talk to her? She wanted the divorce, but Lucas wouldn’t agree, and Barbara didn’t believe her. What had she done wrong to be treated like this?

Aveline sat down on the sofa, her eyes downcast, no longer looking at Barbara. Her personality was such that once someone hurt her, it was difficult for them to get close to her again.

Barbara didn’t like Aveline’s demeanor and continued chatting with Sophia, enjoying her gentle nature. Sophia, with her graceful and elegant manner, was the kind of girl Barbara believed should be the daughter -in–law of the Tudor family.

Sophia glanced at Aveline, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes. She was about to give up, but now, fate had given her another chance! Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Barbara’s mind cleared up, and she even forgot about everything that happened in the last two years! It seemed like a miracle had happened.

Lucas might not listen to Frederick, but he certainly heeds Barbara’s words. Now, with Barbara around, he would definitely divorce Aveline and marry her!

Sophia’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

About 40 minutes later, Lucas pushed open the door to the hospital room. Seeing Sophia there, his brows immediately furrowed. “Why are you here?”

Barbara shot him a displeased look. “Is that any way to speak to your fiancée? She’s here to keep me company and cheer me up, doing what you should be doing. You should be grateful to her!”

Lucas’s face darkened. “Grandma, I don’t have a fiancée. I only have a wife.”

Barbara replied, “I’ve already discussed this with her, Lucas. I don’t care why you’re with Aveline; you two must divorce. You brought Sophia to me in the first place, and she has always been devoted to you. You can’t let her down.”

Aveline looked at Lucas, her expression extremely calm, as if being forced into a divorce was something she had always expected.

Lucas loosened his tie and then said, “Two years ago, I had a car accident.”

Barbara nodded. “I know. Sophia saved you and even lost a leg because of it. That’s why you should marry her.”

After learning about this, she believed Lucas owed Sophia and had to make it up to her. Whatever Sophia wanted, she would ensure she got it..

Lucas sneered and continued, “I became a vegetable and was bedridden for a year. One day, I suddenly woke up, but I was on the street. I didn’t know why I was there, but I knew someone didn’t want me to wake up. In fact, they hoped I’d have another accident.”
