Chapter 174
Aveline widened her eyes in disbelief.
These past few days, she had imagined countless times how Alexander would react if he caught her doing something. But never once did she imagine it would be like this.
He was like a traveler in the desert, desperately seeking a source of water. And now, he had finally found a clear spring. He kissed it delicately, savoring every drop, afraid of losing it.
Aveline’s heart was pounding in her chest. She saw the man’s trembling long eyelashes, which covered the expression in his eyes, making it impossible for her to discern his thoughts.
It had been so long since she had seen such tenderness from him.
Lost in her thoughts, Aveline suddenly felt a sharp pain as Alexander bit her lip forcefully.
His voice was cold and hoarse, “Are you thinking about him again?”
For heaven’s sake, her mind was filled with thoughts of him. She had no time to think about anything else.
Aveline’s face turned cold as she replied, “No, how many times do I have to say it? We’re just ordinary friends.”
“Hmph,” he scoffed.
Clearly, in his eyes, she was nothing but an unfaithful wife. He refused to believe anything she said.
Not only did he not believe her, but his emotions became more extreme. He touched Aveline’s face with his fingertips, his voice heavy, “Did he touch you?”
Aveline’s eyes widened, not expecting him to say such words. Her voice turned even colder, “No, stop it!”
Each of his words felt like a knife piercing her heart, followed by a sprinkle of salt. The pain in her heart far outweighed any physical injuries.
“He touched your hand,” Alexander, like a paranoid child, slid his fingers down, intertwining them

with hers.
Aveline opened her mouth, but no words came out. She didn’t know how to explain.
All she could do was suppress her emotions, not letting herself anger Alexander.
But her submissive posture only fueled his anger. Alexander bent down and carried her towards the
bathroom.
Subconsciously, Aveline grabbed onto his clothes, memories of past unpleasant experiences resurfacing, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
Was he going to lose control again?
Alexander gently placed her in the bathtub, his voice soothing, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll wash you clean.”
Clean again, damn it!
MAY
Aveline thought of the feeling of cold water penetrating her bones. She shook her head hurriedly, “Alexander, no, don’t treat me like this.”
The shower turned on, and steam filled the bathroom.
Luckily, this time it was hot water.
Alexander’s fingers moved, and he began to remove her outerwear.
One piece after another, until only the last layer remained.
They had clearly been more intimate in the past, but it had been two years since he last touched her.
After experiencing all these ups and downs, Aveline felt a mix of love, hatred, and anger towards
him.
And now, she felt disgusted by his touch.
“Don’t touch me!” She crossed her arms in front of her chest, rejecting Alexander’s approach.
Alexander looked at the woman sitting in the bathtub, hugging her knees, tears in her eyes, clearly resisting him.

He lowered his head, his cold gaze fixed on her.
“What? I can’t even touch you now?” Alexander sneered.
Aveline could clearly feel the man’s aura turning icy, especially his eyes, devoid of any warmth.
He seemed to have misunderstood even more, and seeing him stand up without saying a word, a clear disdain in his eyes, she knew he was about to leave.
Eight or nine times out of ten, he was going to do something.
It wasn’t her who was unlucky, it was the people around her.
Aveline grabbed Alexander’s wrist.
“Don’t go.”
