Good Novel
Chapter 954
Aaron's eyes darkened even more at her words, a dangerous glint flickering.
"You want kids?" he asked quietly.
Selena blinked her large eyes innocently. "Don't you? Aveline's having two at once! She's amazing. We could just take one, right?"
Suddenly, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, and she gasped, instinctively straightening her back. "Aaron, what are you doing?"
His hand gripped her waist, and though his lips curved in a faint smile, there was a trace of menace in his gaze. "Why would we need someone else's child? Can't we have our own?"
It took a moment for Selena to realize something was off with Aaron today.
Hesitantly, she asked, "What's gotten into you?"
Aaron gave a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing. "I heard you've been telling others I'm not... capable."
"I never said that!" Selena shot back immediately. "I know perfectly well that you are. Why would I ever say such a thing?"
But Aaron didn't seem convinced.
Without warning, he stood up and scooped her into his arms, heading toward the bedroom.
"Selena, it seems I've been neglecting you these past few days, and it's made you unhappy. Let's fix that. And from now on, there will be no birth control in this house. If you like kids so much, we'll have our own. As many as you want." Selena panicked, her voice rising as she begged, "I really didn't say anything! Aaron, don't be crazy! Let me explain-one is enough, I swear!"
Her pleas fell on deaf ears.
By the end, her cries had softened into quiet whimpers as Aaron relentlessly exhausted her. In the haze of exhaustion, a sudden thought flashed through her mind. Damn it!
She'd been tricked by Lucas again!
They were sworn enemies now.
The next day.
The wedding gown had arrived.
Selena sent Aveline a message, asking her to come over.
Maria had also come by.
The stunning gown was displayed in the center of the living room-its snow-white train adorned with pearls and diamonds, exuding an air of luxury and elegance. Aveline, sitting on the sofa while snacking on fruit, said, "Try it on for us."
Maria added, "Has Mr. Fletcher seen it yet?"
Selena shook her head. "No, the design was custom-made, and I went for the fitting alone. I didn't want him to come with me I want it to be a surprise."
Maria smiled warmly and nodded. "You'll look stunning in it. Mr. Fletcher won't be able to take his eyes off you."
Selena lifted her chin proudly. "Well, what can I say? Born with beauty like mine, it's only natural I could topple nations."
Maria and Aveline exchanged a glance, both breaking into laughter at her playful arrogance.
The gown was enormous and
putting it on was no easy task. Maria helped her, but even with the two of them working together, it still fook
nearly half an hour to get it right.
When the door finally opened, Aveline looked up, and the sight of Selena in her wedding dress stopped her mid-bite. She was breathtaking.
Selena looked like an angel who had
descended to earth, glowing with an
aura of purity and grace. Her elegance and beauty flowed effortlessly, exuding a regal charm
that left Aveline speechless.
"You look stunning!" Aveline said, her admiration genuine.
Selena let out a deep breath. "Damn, this waist is a bit tight. Looks like I'll need to watch my weight for the next couple of days."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Aveline and Maria both paused, speechless.
Whatever image of an angelic glow they had was instantly shattered.
Maria shook her head with a smile. "It's too late to have the designer make changes now, so watching your weight is your only option. I was planning to treat you to a feast tonight, too."
