Divorced

Chapter 480

This man was a glutton! How could he eat so much? That was two dishes and a soup–enough food for two days, gone in one sitting!

Aveline grew even angrier.

Tomorrow, she would definitely change the password for the building’s

elevator and replace the lock on the door! She had plenty of money now, so she could afford it!

Fuming, Aveline stormed into the kitchen, expecting a mess. To her surprise, she found the pots of food still kept warm. Her anger turned to surprise. She let out a sarcastic laugh, grabbed the warmed food, and began eating. She was really hungry.

The next day.

Aveline watched the locksmith change the lock and then updated the elevator’s password before heading to work.

Maria arrived early today but looked exhausted.

Aveline asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? Pulled an all–nighter?”

Maria yawned. “You bet. These past couple of days have been so busy, my hormones are all out of whack. I’m starting to feel less fabulous.”

Aveline chuckled. “Then go home and get some rest.”

Maria shook her head, “No need, I can rest here.”

Aveline was speechless, finding Maria’s behavior unbelievable.

She pulled out her chair and sat down, noticing a glass of milk in front of her. She looked up to see Sidney giving her a shy smile.

“got milk with my breakfast, but I’m lactose intolerant. If you don’t mind, you can have it.”

Aveline paused, then said, “Sure, thanks.

Sidney’s eyes lit up. “You’re welcome!”

Just as he turned to leave, Maria walked over, grabbed the milk, and started drinking it. “Perfect timing. I skipped breakfast and my stomach is hurting. I’ll take this.”

Aveline didn’t mind her drinking the milk. “Sure.”

Seeing this, Sidney couldn’t help but glance at Maria, who was now drinking the milk. To his surprise, Maria was also looking at him and even gave him a slight smile.

Sidney felt something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it, so he suppressed his doubts.

Today, Aveline needed to visit the construction site. After finishing her tasks, she got up to leave the studio.

Sidney approached her. “Aveline, are you heading to the site? Can I come with you?”

Aveline nodded. “Sure.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aveline was surprised. “So many meetings lately?”

Sidney shrugged. “I don’t know either.”

Aveline replied, “Alright, you go ahead.”

Sidney said, “Take care.”

Aveline nodded. “Will do.”

The elevator arrived, and she stepped in.

From the subway station, she walked towards the construction site, where the operations were in full swing. Tower cranes stood tall, moving materials.

The foreman, expecting her, was waiting at the entrance and handed her a hard helmet before leading her towards a nearby building.

The building was starting to take shape. Aveline, holding the blueprints, discussed some details and precautions with the foreman, who noted everything down carefully.

“I’ll take a look around on my own. You can go back to your work,” Aveline said after giving instructions.

The foreman nodded. “Sure; let me know if you need anything.”

Aveline acknowledged and walked ahead. As she passed by some rubble, she suddenly felt a malicious gaze on her, sending a shiver down her spine.
