Aveline immediately hung up the call.

Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't you answer?" Aveline responded curtly, "That's none of your business." Lucas chuckled, clearly amused, as if he hadn't expected this rebellious side of her.

Aveline kept her gaze out the window, but inside, she was tense.

Then Lucas spoke again, "Afraid to answer? Worried I might find out? Who was it, Russell?" Aveline frowned and turned to him. "Lucas, do you ever stop?" His eyes locked onto hers. "Then why didn't you take the call?" Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don't feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me." Lucas crossed his arms and leaned back, his handsome, sharp features becoming even colder and more distant. His eyes regarded her with a cool indifference.

"And so what? Do you think I care about what place I hold in your heart or if I have any status at all?" Aveline was momentarily stunned. "If you don't care, then why are you still clinging to me?" Lucas let out a low laugh. "I've told you before, the reason I keep you around is simple. You're a woman, I'm a man, and I need you to satisfy my needs-nothing more." Anger flashed across Aveline's face, and she raised her hand to slap him.

But Lucas didn't flinch, his gaze remaining cold and steady on her.

Aveline's hand paused mid-air, her fingers curling into a fist as her expression grew colder. She didn't bother responding to him after that.

The cable car soon reached the base of the mountain. Aveline stepped out and immediately walked toward the roadside.

Lucas followed leisurely behind her, watching her slender figure with growing frustration.

Their relationship was twisted-she despised him, yet all he wanted was to keep her by his side. But no matter what he did, he couldn't find the right way to make it work. Keeping her with him, did it really cause her that much pain? He wondered if he had ever truly done anything to hurt her.

Lucas got into his car and drove behind her, keeping a steady distance. He didn't offer her a ride, instead waiting for her to ask. But his expectations were bound to be disappointed. Aveline walked straight to the bus stop, sat on a bench, and began waiting for the bus.

Lucas parked nearby and walked over, sitting beside her.

Aveline took out her earbuds from her bag, put them on, and started playing music, completely ignoring his presence.

Lucas noticed and, without hesitation, grabbed one of her earbuds and put it in his own ear.

Aveline was speechless.

The shamelessness was beyond her.

She couldn't outdo him in this game.

ON Just then, the bus arrived. Aveline quickly took back her earbud and got on, scanned her payment, and found a single seat by the window to sit down. Finally, she thought, Lucas won't be able to follow her now.

She glanced at him and saw him standing by the bus door, frowning as he fumbled with his phone, seemingly struggling with the scanning process. For the first tin a while, Aveline felt a bit of relief, even allowing herself a small smile.

But her relief was short-lived. Within a couple of minutes, Lucas managed and to scan the code and walked straight over to her catching sight of the slight curve of her lips as he approached. "So, you were hoping to seestruggle?" he asked, sitting down beside her. Aveline turned her gaze back to the window, ignoring him entirely.
