After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Selena was surprised. Aveline was usually a light sleeper, but the loud knocking hadn't woken her. Maybe it was the alcohol.

Not dwelling on it further, Selena yawned as she went to check the peephole. Seeing who was outside, she narrowed her eyes. Why was he here?Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as she was pondering this, the person outside started knocking again.

Selena quickly opened the door to find Aaron with his hand raised, about to knock once. more. If she'd been two seconds slower, his palm might have landed on her instead.

"What's wrong with you, pounding on the door in the middle of the night? Are you crazy?" Selena snapped irritably.

Aaron lowered his hand and glanced at her. "It's just you here?"

Selena yawned. "Who else would it be?"

She squinted, as if remembering something. "Oh, and Russell.”

Aaron had started to relax, but his brow furrowed at her words. "You're saying Russell slept here?"

Selena retorted, "How's that your business?"

Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling the situation had become quite thorny. If something had really happened between Russell and Aveline... Lucas might go on a rampage. Things could spiral out of control.

Selena thought he was being ridiculous and moved to close the door. "It's late, Mr. Fletcher. Can you please stop disturbing people's rest?"

She was about to shut the door in his face when Aaron put his hand on the door frame, his expression gravely serious. "Which room are they in?"

Selena frowned. "What?"

Aaron's face grew even colder. "I'm not joking around. Tell me which room they're in. Or should I go in and find out myself?"

As Aaron moved to enter, Selena quickly blocked his path. "Hey, did I say you could come in? What are you talking about?"

Aaron eyed the petite woman in front of him, then suddenly scooped her up under his arm and strode into the apartment, checking each room.

Selena was shocked. "What the hell, Aaron! Do you know you're trespassing? Let me go!"

Being carried like that was extremely uncomfortable for her. The disparity in strength between men and women became painfully clear - she was like a helpless lamb, unable to resist at all. Aaron opened two guest rooms, finding them empty. His gaze fell on the master bedroom, his expression darkening further.

Were they sleeping in there?

Seeing his reaction, Selena realized who he was looking for. Connecting his earlier questions and attitude, she hurriedly said, "Aaron, calm down! It's just me and Ave here, no one else!" Aaron paused as he was about to open the master bedroom door. He looked down at Selena. "Are you serious?"

Selena nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's right. Russell did come earlier, but he left after dinner!"

Aaron let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief. Then he tightened his grip slightly and narrowed his eyes. "Are you lying to me?"

Selena squirmed uncomfortably in his hold. "You... let me go first."

Aaron carried her towards the exit. "Şelena, it seems I've been too lenient, making you think you can do whatever you want in front of me." He left the apartment with Selena still in his arms.
