Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Aveline raised her head , a hint of disdainful smile flashed in her eyes . Sterling , you have quite the skill in asking questions . Wasnt it you who asked for a divorce ? Alexander clearly ignored her words and approached Aveline with a chilling aura . Have you been with him these past few days ? At such a close distance , Aveline could clearly see the coldness in his dark and thick eyelashes , the bloodshot veins on his white eyes , and the fierce expression on his face . Aveline denied , No , its just that its difficult to find a Uber these days , and Ryan happened to be passing by and gave me a ride . Alexander sneered , his thin lips curling up . Aveline , when you lie , your eyes tend to look upwards . Youve had this habit until now , go after a year of resistance , abandoning your critically ill father just for that and suddenly you ! man ? Aveline didnt want to explain . The more excuses she made , the more he would feel that she was trampling on his intelligence . So Aveline quickly changed the topic , It doesnt matter , lets just get a divorce first . Before she could take a step , Alexander had already grabbed her wrist . He didnt use much force , but Aveline felt a piercing pain , and she looked at him with displeasure , furrowing her brows . Alexanders face showed madness , his voice cold and chilling . Before , I thought that divorce would be the best punishment for you . But now , Ive changed my mind . Aveline was stunned . What are you talking about ? Alexander looked at her with an evil expression . I suddenly dont want a divorce anymore . His slender fingers caressed her cheek as he lowered his gaze and said coldly , Mrs. Sterling, are you happy ? If it had been half a month ago , Aveline would have been very happy to know that Alexander didnt want a divorce . But after knowing the truth , his touch only made Aveline feel disgusted . Let go ! Alexander , I want to divorce you , right now . 22-23 Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica , I Choose The Arranged 3.5 % Chapter 27 The man easily lifted her up . The harbor that used to shelter her from the wind and rain now only left Aveline with endless resistance . Let go of me , Alexander, have you gone crazy ? The difference in strength between men and women was huge , not to mention the fact that Aveline was as fragile as paper now and had no power to resist in Alexanders hands . Her body was placed in the back seat of the car by Alexander . This struggle felt like intense exercise for Aveline , and she gasped for breath , struggling to speak , Alexander , what do you want to do ? What do I want to do ? He tugged at his bothersome tie , a hint of mockery flashed in his cold eyes . Aveline , what I want is for you to suffer . Do you think Im stupid enough to let you have fun with other men while married to me ? I really underestimated you . You said you would rather die than divorce me , but as soon as you turned around , you found another man . Are you that desperate ? Aveline had a splitting headache . Being provoked like this by him felt like being pricked with needles in her heart . She bit her lip and said , You were so eager for a divorce before , and now that Im granting your wish , why are you acting like this ? Youve been unfaithful to me for a long time , so what does it matter to you if I have a fling with someone else ? In the next second , the man raised his chin fiercely , his voice without a ripple . Everyone in this world can find happiness , except for you , Aveline . Do you understand ? Aveline met his indifferent gaze , his pitch black eyes exuding silent pressure , and his voice carried a cruel indifference . Whether we divorce or not , its my decision . As he leaned forward , his tie fell and landed on both sides of Avelines cheeks . His exquisite woolen coat was perfectly smooth , without a single wrinkle . With his high and mighty posture , it seemed as if everyone else in the world were mere ants in his presence . This point was soon proven true as the car turned around the divider , and Avelines gaze fell on the line of cars on the opposite side . Right in front of the queue was a crashed Cayenne , and wasnt that Ryans car ? Ryan had just dropped her off and immediately got into an accident . Avelines face turned pale , and she shouted loudly , Stop the car ! Even if Lucas was as foolish as can be , there was no way he would stop the car at a time like this . He 256 Chapter 27 pretended to be deaf and ignored everything . Aveline tried to forcefully open the car door , but her wrist was firmly pulled back into Alexanders embrace . She fell into Alexanders arms . She heard the man speak slowly , What ? Feeling sorry for her ? Are you crazy ? Ryan only takes care of me a little more at the hospital because we graduated from the same school . We have no relationship whatsoever . Why are you doing this ? Aveline asked angrily . Alexander slowly reached out his hand , and his cool fingertips brushed against her face . His voice came out coldly , Because … the more upset you are , the happier I become . Aveline weakly tugged at his shirt , filled with anger but already exhausted . She forced herself to stay focused and said , Alexander , my father sponsored Delilahs education . Even if they have some kind of relationship , I believe he would never harm Delilah . At the mention of this name , Alexanders expression suddenly changed . His face , which had been coldly smiling just a second ago , turned into a furious one . He forcefully pulled Avelines body away . What right do you have to mention that name ? he asked . Avelines back slammed hard against the hard car door . Her already weak body felt like it was falling apart . She weakly leaned against the side , suppressing the pain coming from deep within her bones . Alexander was obviously sensitive to this name , which meant she hadnt found the wrong person . Delilah was his lost sister . But she couldnt summon the strength to ask anything at the moment. She closed her eyes tightly , trying to calm herself down and dispel the discomfort in her body . She didnt even have the energy to argue anymore . She could only curl up and lean against the seat . Fortunately , she had applied some blush and lipstick before leaving , so no one could see her pale face . Seeing that she refused to speak , Alexander assumed she was throwing a tantrum and ignored her . However , his heart continued to beat unsteadily . The car arrived at Sterlings residence , and Aveline was extremely weak . She didnt want to move a single step . Alexander had already left , and Lucas opened the car door and asked softly , Madam , are you feeling unwell ? Ar Chapter 27 Before Aveline could deny it , Alexander stood outside the door , looking down on her with sarcasm . You keep using these tricks , thinking that if you act weak , Ill soften up ? Over the past year , she had indeed used the strategy of pretending to be weak to make Alexander change his mind . But the boy who cried wolf ended up getting eaten by the wolf , and he no longer believed her . After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that she didnt get out of the car , Alexander grew impatient . If you dont want me to go after the Locksley family , you better get out of the car immediately . Aveline had just sent a message to Ryan and hadnt received a response yet . She didnt know how badly Ryan was injured , so she gritted her teeth and got out of the car . As soon as her toes touched the ground , a cold gust of wind rushed towards her . Avelines legs went weak , and she suddenly felt her vision darken as her body collapsed to the ground .
