Aveline was somewhat surprised that he actually came to pick her up.

Even though she had handed everything over to Owen, Aveline still felt a bit nervous getting into the car, as if Alexander could see right through her with just one glance.

As soon as she got in the car, he asked a rare question.

"Did you have fun?"

"It was okay, a bit scary. Jack was whimpering in fear," she said, her face still calm as Alexander withdrew his gaze from her face.

He thought that by deliberately letting Aveline be with these children, she would become as cheerful

as she used to be.

But it turned out that besides the feelings between the two of them, Aveline was also something that couldn't be returned to the past.

'Before, when the two of them sat together, she would chatter non-stop, almost never stopping her

little mouth.

Unlike now, she sat upright, fingers gripping the armrest, eyes looking out the window.

She would answer when spoken to. And when she didn't speak, it felt like there were a thousand

miles between them.

The silence was suffocating, and they drove in silence the whole way.

Aveline could feel Alexander's gaze on her, making her heart sink. Had he found out that she had

sneaked out?

After all

conditions on the island could be maintained.

Aveline finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alexander spoke coldly, "I won't be coming back for dinner tonight."

"Okay," Aveline said, opening the car door to get out.

Her wrist suddenly hurt as she was pulled back. She fell into Alexander's

embrace, and her palm weakly rested against his chest.

She looked up at him, confused.

"Hmm?" Alexander's eyes were dark as he said, "Aveline, I said I'm going to the Kingsley family for

dinner."

"I know. Don't worry, I won't call to rush you," she said. In the past, due to her anxiety and severe psychological issues, she would constantly bombard him with calls if he didn't return by six.

'She would reheat the cold dishes over and over, anxious like an ant pacing in the room, her mind in

turmoil.

She would even find herself annoying when she looked back on it.

Back then, she was still the rightful Mrs. Sterling. But now, she knew her position clearly and wouldn't obstruct Alexander anymore.

Before, even the air was shackled, making it hard for her to breathe.

Now that she didn't care as much about him, Aveline felt like she had regained her freedom.

On the other hand, Alexander was not used to it. For a while, Aveline was so tense, like a drawn

The hand holding her wrist tightened, causing Aveline to furrow her hrow in pain.

"Ouch! I didn't stop you, what are you doing? Aveline said, displeased.

Alexander's voice was low and serious, "Do you not care if I sleep elsewhere?"
