Divorced 171
Chapter 171
Aveline was startled.
Russell was nearby?
“Oh, okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Aveline went to the door. Soon, the doorbell rang. She opened it to see Russell standing there with his signature purple hair.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Russ, you’re here,” Aveline said with a slight smile.
Russell smirked, his already strikingly handsome face becoming even more roguish. His captivating eyes seemed to draw people in. “What’s going on?”
Aveline let him in and briefly explained the situation.
Seeing the vegetables on the table, Russell raised an eyebrow. “So, you left the police station earlier because of this?”
Aveline nodded. “Yes.”
Russell continued, “Why didn’t you tell me when I asked?”
Aveline felt awkward and rubbed her nose. “I hoped this matter could be resolved quickly, but the police’s efficiency isn’t that high. I didn’t want to carry this burden any longer, so I wanted to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.”
She paused. “I thought it would be too much trouble to involve you, but now I have no choice.”
Russell chuckled. “Alright, it’s not a big deal.”
Hearing this, Aveline’s eyes lit up. “How long until we get the
results?”
Russell replied, “Hold on a second.”
He took out his phone and made a call. After talking for a while, he turned to her and said, “If we send it now, we’ll have the results by tomorrow afternoon.”
Aveline was thrilled. “That’s wonderful, Russ. Thank you!”
Russell responded, “Is that all the thanks I get?”
Aveline hesitated and then asked, “Well… how about I treat you to dinner?”
Russell replied, “What’s so great about restaurant food? Why don’t you cook me a meal instead?”
Aveline was momentarily stunned. That was easy enough!
“Are you sure? My cooking isn’t that great,” Aveline said hesitantly.
Russell replied, “Just cook. I’ll be the judge of how good it is.”
Aveline nodded. “Alright!”
She had other ingredients on hand, so she rolled up her
sleeves and got to work. Russell settled into the dining room, where he could see Aveline bustling around in the kitchen. It felt… rather unique.
Before long, the doorbell rang. Aveline went to answer it. It was the person Russell had contacted, who packed up the vegetables and took them away. Aveline returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Russell crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe,
his purple hair making him look even more striking. The diamond stud in his left ear sparkled under the kitchen lights.
Catching sight of him out of the corner of her eye, Aveline said, “Russ, don’t stand there. There’s too much smoke in here.”
Her tone had shifted to treating him like a friend. Realizing this, Russell’s mouth twitched. He suddenly regretted asking her to call him Russ.
“Alright, let me know when it’s ready,” he said, turning to wander around the apartment.
The apartment was spacious and decorated in a simple yet luxurious style. Since Aveline moved in, little personal
touches had appeared in the corners. Russell picked up a rabbit plushie, chuckled, and put it back.
Half an hour later, Aveline came out with the last dish. Russ, dinner’s ready.”
“Okay.”
Russell came over, pulled out a chair, and started eating. After the first bite, his eyes lit up with surprise.
