Divorced 56

Chapter 56

Aveline looked over, puzzled, and asked, "What's this?"

Lucas replied, "You're my wife. If you look too plain, people will think I'm treating you poorly."

He took out a pair of earrings and said to her, "Come here."

"Fine," She thought, "Who doesn't like diamonds?"

As Aveline stood up, she asked, "Are these mine?"

"Yes," Lucas replied, catching the sparkle in her eyes.

Aveline quickened her pace and reached out her hand, "I'll do it. myself."

Lucas, however, said, "There's no mirror, you can't see."

Saying this, he lifted her hair and leaned in to put on the earrings.

The diamond earrings were teardrop-shaped, perfectly cut, and

sparkled beautifully under the light. Her earlobes, with a hint of pink, were delicate and the earrings easily slipped through the holes. His fingers lingered as he pinched her earlobe before picking up the other ea They were very close, and his breath seemed to graze her skin, feeling warm and slightly ticklish.

The earrings were quickly put on, and next was the necklace.

The man didn't step back, staying close to her as he held the necklace. Instead of moving behind her, he reached around her neck, leaning in close,

It felt as though he had enveloped her in his arms, completely surrounded by his presence.

Aveline's heart raced.

Her long eyelashes trembled as she tried to calm herself.

For the sake of this jewelry set, she had to endure!

The necklace was fastened, and as he straightened up, his lips. brushed against her cheek.

Aveline suddenly looked up, displeased, and said, "Lucas, you're quite cunning."

Lucas stared at her with dark eyes, "What do you mean?"

Aveline sneered, "You put the jewelry on me yourself just to kiss me, huh..."

Her eyes gleamed with a "I've seen through you" look, and she lifted. her chin slightly, looking smug.

Lucas chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips firmly.

After a moment, he stepped back and said, "Do I need a reason to kiss you?"

Aveline was stunned.

She looked at him in disbelief.

Did he even realize what he was doing?

They were about to get divorced!

Did he not think his actions were despicable?

Aveline pressed her lips together, her expression suddenly turning

cold. "Let's go."

Lucas said, "We haven't put on the ring yet."

Aveline glanced at the diamond ring, a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes. "Do you remember what you used to say to me?"

Lucas's expression froze.

He didn't want to remember, but the memory came unbidden.

When they got their marriage certificate, he promised her that one day he would give her a real diamond ring, cut in the shape she liked, with their initials engraved on the inside, symbolizing his lifelong love for "Can you still keep your promise?"

Aveline asked softly, then looked away. "The ring is unnecessary."

She had already opened the door and walked out.

Lucas' previously cheerful mood instantly became heavy. He looked. at the ring in his hand.

How was it unnecessary?

In the car.

The atmosphere was subtle.

Aveline looked out the window, her expression calm once more.

She had just lost control of her emotions earlier. Thinking back now, she found it quite amusing.

They were about to get divorced, so why even bring it up?

Promises...

They were just nonsense.

She had actually believed them, which was utterly laughable.
