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

Aveling packed the small cookies into the bag, making sure everything was secure se she said. Since we're short of time, I made some food that will stay fresh and still taste good. You can eat it on the road. Selena blinked, then quickly ran over and hugged her tightly. "Ave, you're too good to me! Why don't we just run away together?"

Aveline smiled. "Alright, enough of that. Go wash your face-I'll drive you to the

outskirts."

Selena needed to be at the bus stop in the early morning, so she had to head out tonight.

But Selena shook her head. "No need. I've already arranged for someone to pick me up, You should stay home and rest. I'll be fine."

However, Aveline insisted, "No, I won't feel at ease unless I personally take you."

Seeing how determined Aveline looked, Selena knew Aveline had made up her mind. She hugged Aveline tightly and said, "I'm really going to miss you!"

Aveline guided Selena to the bathroom and watched as she freshened up, while she went over the packed items one last time: food, drinks, and a few basic disposable

toiletries.

Yes, it looked like she had packed everything.

After finishing up, they sat together for a while before finally heading out at two in the morning.

The late-night streets of Cloudflare City were quiet, with hardly any cars or pedestrians in sight. As Aveline drove toward the outskirts, Selena kept talking about her hopes for the future.

Meanwhile...

Lucas quickly received word that Aveline had left the house.

He rubbed his temples, glancing at the clock. It was late-what was she doing out at

this hour?

And she had left with Selena.

A thoughtful expression crossed Lucas' face, and he promptly dialed Aaron's

nuriser

As the call connected, the blare of heavy metal music filled the background.

Lucas narrowed his eyes and asked, "How have things been going with Selena lately?

Aaron chuckled in response. "Oh, things have been great."

Lucas' voice remained calm. "Is that so? Because just now, Aveline drove Selena out toward the outskirts."

Aaron's tone instantly shifted, the music fading as his voice grew tense, almost

angry.

"Is she trying to run away?"

Lucas's tone remained cold. "I don't know."

Aaron replied, "Alright, I'll deal with this. Talk later."

He abruptly ended the call.

Lucas stood up and moved to the balcony, staring out into the pitch-black night, his face hardening with an icy expression.

The night deepened.

Aveline drove for nearly an hour before reaching the place Selena had arranged-a

small farmhouse.

The family of three was still awake, with the lights on inside.

Selena got out of the car and knocked on the door. A young girl soon appeared, her eyes lighting up when she saw Selena. "You're here!"

Selena nodded. "Yeah, I'm here. Thanks for helping me out."

The girl waved it off. "Oh, no problem. It's no trouble at all. Come on in.'

Selena turned to Aveline. "I'm here. You should head back."

Aveline nodded. "Alright, but call me when you get to your next stop."

Selena grinned. "Don't worry. I'll probably call you ten times before I even get there."

Aveline smiled at that.

She watched as Selena and the girl went inside, then got back into her car and drove away.

But as she headed back, the uneasy feeling in her chest grew stronger. Gripping the steering wheel tightly, she abruptly turned the car around and drove back to the farmhouse. Meanwhile, Aaron quickly learned of Selena's location. He gathered his men and set off to confront her.
