"I...," Judy hesitated, surprised that Aveline would take the initiative to tell her all this-as if she were trying to teach her. What kind of thought process was this? What exactly was Aveline thinking? Hearing Aveline's words, Lucas' expression immediately turned colder, and the tension around him seemed to thicken.

Judy felt a pang of irritation. "You don't need to worry about that. After spending more ttogether, I'll naturally pick up on these things."

Judy remarked, her tone dripping with contempt.
Aveline calmly washed her hands and then grabbed a paper towel to dry them. "Do you? I think it's fine." Judy's voice sharpened. "You're divorced. Clinging to him like this-isn't it a bit shameless?" Aveline tossed the paper towel into the trash and turned to face her.
"Yes, we're divorced, but that's hardly sterrible sin. Besides, we're both single. Having a conversation and sparing a meal doesn't makeshameless. But coming in here to insult me-what does that make you? A disgrace?"
"You-!" Judy's face darkened. She remembered that Aveline wasn't V always this, sharp-tongued How had she changed so much? Could she be trying to get back together with Lucas? That was absolutely impossible!
Judy stepped closer, her eyes narrowing with a hint of challenge "Aveline, & Lucas doesn't want you anymore, yet you're still clinging to him. It's pathetic." Aveline's eyes grew cold, and suddenly she raised her hand and slapped Judy across the face.
