Chapter 458 Aveline struggled even more fiercely. "Lucas, get off me!" But Lucas didn't move. He didn't apply much force to her hand, just held her tighter, his breath growing heavier.
Aveline's face flushed deeply as his heavy breathing near her ear stimulated her nerves. She turned her head and bit his shoulder.
Lucas grunted, his breath becoming even more erratic.

He carried her to the bathroom, looking at the marks on her nightgown, his eyes darkened, though his handsface remained indifferent.
"I'm not crippled. I can wash myself," Aveline said coldly.
Lucas stared at her for a moment before turning to leave.
The moment the door closed, Aveline ripped off the nightgown and threw it straight into the trash. She finished washing up and put on a bathrobe, relieved to find Lucas was not in the bedroom when she returned.
After changing clothes, she went downstairs. The butler said, "Ma'am, breakfast is ready." "Okay," Aveline replied, heading directly to the dining room.
When Lucas cin, he saw she had already finished eating and was grabbing her bag to leave.
Lucas frowned. "You're not fully recovered. You don't need to go to work." Aveline responded coolly, "I haven't broken any bones or fallen into a fever. Why shouldn't I go to work? Should I stay hall day staring at your face, which hate?" Lucas's face darkened instantly.

Lucas closed his eyes, suppressing his anger, then dialed a number. In a cold voice, he said, "Don't give her too much work. She's not feeling well." When Aveline arrived at the studio, Maria was already there. She placed a cup of tea on Aveline's desk and asked with a smile, "You don't look too well. Are you feeling unwell?" Aveline gave a faint smile. "Just didn't sleep well." Maria said, "Then don't overwork yourself today. Sof the drawings can be done by others." Aveline nodded. "Okay." She knew her own condition and didn't think it would affect her work, so she stayed busy as usual.
At noon, she went to a fast-food restaurant downstairs for lunch. Her phone/ rang, and she saw it was Selena calling.
"Hello?" Selena cheerfully said, "Guess who I ran into?" "Hmm?" Aveline was puzzled. "Who? Your first love?" Selena laughed. "I wish it was my first love. This handsguy looks really good, but unfortunately, he's not interested inat all!" Aveline was still confused. "What?" Selena said, "Sidney! The handsguy who saved you at the Grand Feast Club. Don't tellyou've forgotten him, you heartbreaker!" Aveline's mouth twitched. "Where did you see him?"
Selena replied, "I'm out for lunch, and he's working as a waiter in the m restaurant Do you want to cover?"
Aveline frowned. Why would he be working as a waiter? The pay at the Grand 2/3 Feast Club should be quite high.
