Chapter 40 Chapter 40 The reality that she and Alexander had to face . Alexander had decided to completely give up on her . However , she had also made her own decision . Aveline smiled gently at Jordan and said , Im sorry , please tell your CEO that I regret it . Jordan couldnt understand these two people . At first , Alexander was determined to divorce , then it was Aveline , and now Alexander agreed , but Aveline changed her mind again . Were they playing house ? Did they own the Civil Affairs Bureau ? If it were Lucas , he would have started complaining a long time ago . Jordans expression remained unchanged , and he continued to handle the matter professionally , Im sorry , Madam , its not within my authority . I cant make the decision . I only ask that you accompany me on this trip . I wont make it difficult for you , lets go . Aveline had already anticipated this outcome . She picked up a scarf and wrapped herself tightly before following Lucas out of the door . Every time they wanted to divorce , something unexpected would happen . This time , it went surprisingly smoothly . Even the snowstorm from a few days ago had stopped , and it was a sunny day . After the snow , the temperature remained low as usual . The bright sunshine melted the snow on the treetops , dripping down the branches . When Aveline arrived , Alexander was already waiting there . There was no one else in the hall , only him , sitting with his legs crossed , half closed eyes , fingers rubbing his temples , looking exhausted . Even from a close distance , she could smell a faint scent of alcohol on him . He used to not be a drinker , but now he couldnt be without alcohol every night . Alexander was very tired , but he couldnt sleep . Suddenly , two small hands fell on his temples without warning , a familiar technique , a familiar scent of 535 . Chapter 40 hand cream . He opened his eyes and said in a low voice , Youre here . Neither of them continued speaking . Time seemed to go back to the past , when she would relieve his exhaustion with her understanding .

Alexander took out something from his briefcase and pushed it towards Aveline , I have revised the divorce agreement . If you have no objections , please sign it . Aveline glanced at it . The divorce agreement she had drafted before only had one clause , million in compensation . askue for ten But this divorce agreement was much more comprehensive , with an amount reaching one billion , as well as several villas , cars , and real estate . She chuckled lightly , Mr. Sterling is really generous . Alexander didnt look at her , but lowered his head to look at his watch , You deserve it . She didnt know what he had been thinking that night , but it was clear that he intended to completely separate himself from her . He was said to be heartless , but he was more affectionate than anyone else . He was said to be ruthless , but he was more ruthless than anyone else . Aveline took the pen and crossed out those terms and conditions , Thank you for your consideration . As I said , I only want ten million . You already gave me five million , so theres still five million left . Upon hearing this , Alexander frowned unhappily at her . Aveline , you dont know whats good for you . But Aveline stared at him with a sweet smile , Ive been used to a wealthy life . Although these past two years have been tiring , they have been quite fulfilling . Besides , I havent given birth to any children for you , so its not appropriate to ask for so much . Alexander wanted to say something , but Aveline suddenly placed both hands on the table , jumped over Chapter 40 it , and leaned towards him . Ten million , and I have one more condition . Her dark pupils reflected her gentle smiling face , and she raised her eyebrows and asked , What is it ? Avelines mouth curved into a stunning smile , and her sweet voice echoed in Alexanders ears , word by word , Hen , I want you to accompany me for three months . ♡ ( 0 ) ( 0 ) Chapter 41 Five-year-old Annie, who can understand animals, saved Landon Hawthorne, a wealthy businessman, from suicide.
