Lucas, however, replied with a half-smile, "I don't believe you." Aveline ignored Lucas and said to Gernard, "Let's go over there." A short distance away, a small park lay bathed in warm sunlight, a few people leisurely strolling along its paths. The air was filled with a light breeze, just enough to feel refreshing without a hint of chill. "Alright." Gernard nodded and walked with Aveline toward the park. After a few steps, he glanced back at Lucas with a look of mockery in his eyes.
Lucas just stared at Aveline for a long moment before sighing in resignation.
What else could he do? Right now, she was his queen, and he had to keep her happy! In the park, Gernard asked, "Have you made up with him?" Aveline shook her head. "No." Gernard looked at her, puzzled. "But you're here together with him." Aveline glanced at him and replied, "If I said it was a coincidence, would you believe me?" Gernard seemed a bit exasperated. "It doesn't strikeas a coincidence. Feels more intentional. Aveline, Myron's schedule is packed. If you don't make it to court soon, your case is going to get pushed back even more." Aveline nodded. "I know. I'm planning to drop the lawsuit."

Lucas's voice was cold as ice. "Why else would you be gone for solang? It's the middle of the day-keep your F distance from other men." Aveline scoffed. "I think you're mentally sick." She pulled her hand free and got into the car.
Lucas' dark eyes glinted with a hint of gloom. He extinguished his cigarette and turned to get into the car as well. When they returned, Zachary was in the middle of teaching a class to the children.
Aveline glanced at Lucas and asked, "Are you leaving tonight?" Lucas responded, "Do you want to leave? Then let's go." Aveline nodded. "Alright, let's leave together."
