Selena was so furious that she stomped her foot. "What a piece of work! He's really pushing his luck!" Aveline was speechless.
She remained silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly. "You should go rest." Selena, at a loss for words, could only nod in agreement.
Lying in bed, Aveline pondered how she would handle the days ahead. Should she leave Maple Garden? Go somewhere else? But knowing Lucas, he would undoubtedly follow her wherever she went. And from the looks of it, he wasn't seeking her forgiveness at all-he was just being plain stubborn.
Aveline turned over, unable to sleep.

"Ave, didn't you sleep well last night?" Aveline nodded. "Barely slept. I couldn't stop thinking." Just then, Lucas stepped out of the guest room, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and pants, his muscular arms exposed. His short hair was casually styled, with his bangs naturally falling over his forehead. His stern features were less sharp and carried a softer, more relaxed air, more suited to a hsetting.
"Do you need a bedtstory? I've got plenty of tnow, so if you need, I can start tonight," he said, a faint, almost teasing smile playing on his lips as he looked at Aveline.
Aveline walked past him without a hint of emotion on her face, coldly tossing out three words, "What bad luck." Selena followed suit, "Yeah, such bad luck!" Lucas remained unfazed, calmly following the two women into the dining room.
The housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.
"Good morning, Miss Young, Miss Quin," the housekeeper greeted them politely, then hesitated when she noticed Lucas. "And who might this be?" Lucas pointed at Aveline. "I'm her husband." The housekeeper froze in surprise.
Selena frowned. "Just ignore him. Pretend he's not even here." Lucas scoffed coldly. "Do you really think everyone is as rude and lacking in manners as you?" Selena chuckled. "My manners are reserved for people who actually deserve them. Do you have any?" 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 658 The two immediately began bickering.
Aveline, feeling a headache coming on, addressed the housekeeper, "His last nis Tudor." The housekeeper quickly caught on, "Oh, Mr. Tudor." Lucas shot a triumphant look at Selena before heading into the dining room and sitting down to start eating.
Since Aveline had mostly recovered and no longer needed a caregiver, she had let them go, but the housekeeper stayed on to handle the cooking.
After breakfast, Aveline began her rehabilitation exercises for the day.
Her leg still couldn't bear much weight; it had only been a little over a month, and her recovery was far from complete.
Selena watched Aveline nervously, ready to catch her at any moment.
Meanwhile, Lucas sat on the sofa like he owned the place, engrossed in a book.
Selena glanced at him several times, her expression shifting between frustration and disbelief.

Aveline noticed Selena's reaction and said, "You know, you could just treat him like air, like I do Selena sighed. like I dox "He's so hard to ignore. How do you manage to treat him like he's not there?" Aveline replied, "With enough time, you'll develop that skill." Selena nodded seriously. "Alright, I'll do my best to learn." At that moment, Lucas spoke up, "You're applying force incorrectly." He stood up and walked over to Aveline, adjusting her posture with his hands.
Aveline frowned. "What are you doing? Let go!"
But Lucas calmly replied, "Your posture and the way you're applying ae force are wrangelt you keep exercising like this, you'll cause further damage to your bones." His expression was serious, and his gazes were steady, without any unnecessary actions or intentions.
Aveline tried the posture he suggested, and it seemed to require less effort. The pain she had felt before was now almost gone.
She couldn't help but glance at Lucas a couple of times.
Lucas looked up, and their eyes met unexpectedly. The emotions in their gazes remained as calm as ever, and they quickly looked away from each other. Lucas returned to the sofa and resumed reading. It was only then that Aveline noticed the book he was reading seemed to be about rehabilitation exercises.
She pressed her lips together slightly, then refocused on her own workout.
