Chapter 187
As Aveline spoke, she thought about all the sad things that had happened in her life. When she looked at him, her eyes were filled with tears.
She knew she couldn’t confront Alexander head–on anymore. After all, she was his former lover, and she understood his temperament better than anyone else. Using softness to overcome strength was
the best strategy.
Her voice was calm, without any complaints or inquiries, and her teary eyes were just right.
Tears can make people feel disgusted, but when used well, they can also become a weapon.
Just like now, Alexander felt a little guilty and his throat felt dry.
“I know.” Alexander hung his head, his eyes filled with a hint of pity.
His hands fell on Aveline’s shoulders, and he licked his lips, “I know we’ve had too many things happen between us in the past. We can’t go back to the past. From now on, the matter of Layla is settled. You can stay by my side, and I’ll take good care of you in the future.”
This was a big concession for him.
Aveline sneered in her heart. After being hurt by him like that, could the pain be erased with just a promise of taking care of her?
To avoid affecting her own plans, Aveline looked hurt, and she gently leaned into Alexander’s
embrace.
His unprecedented nervousness at her initiative closeness surprised Alexander.
After all, they had been at odds for most of the past two years, and such moments were too rare.
He even tensed his body, waiting for Aveline to speak.
“Hen.”
This address felt like a cat scratching his heart, and Alexander responded. “Let’s talk properly. You speak.”

Chapter 18?
Aveline’s hands encircled his waist, just like before when she used to act coquettishly towards him. Her voice was soft as she recounted her story on the island.
“At first, I just wanted to save Jamie, but later, I really fell in love with that place. No one hurt me there, and everyone on the island was very kind. I really want to help them.”
She carefully lifted her head to observe Alexander’s expression, making sure there was no coldness before continuing, “Jack is a lively child, Tyler has great artistic talent, and Amelia only has one set of warm underwear, but she gave it to Jamie to use as a diaper.”
“What do you want me to do?” Surprisingly, Alexander was very accommodating.
A hint of excitement appeared on Aveline’s face as she explained her plan.
“I understand.”
She looked at him expectantly, “Then you…”
“Developing the small island is fine, but there’s one condition.”
Stars twinkled in Aveline’s black pupils.
“You say it.”
The tall and handsome man leaned slightly towards Aveline’s ear, and said word by word, “I want you to stay by my side in this lifetime and never leave.”
Aveline’s body trembled slightly.
He was the one who had proposed a divorce in the first place, but now, he was the one asking her to
stay.
She felt that she couldn’t understand Alexander at all.
Thinking that she only had a few months left, she nodded without hesitation.
“Okay.”
Her lifetime was only a few months.
Perhaps because she answered too quickly, Alexander became even more uneasy.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he was afraid that it would make both of them uncomfortable if it touched on the topic from this morning.
He tightened his hand around Aveline’s waist, “If you dare to leave again, I will burn that island. You know I’m not joking.”
His body was burning, but his voice was incredibly cold.
Aveline calmly tugged at the fabric around his waist, “Hen, I have one more request.”
