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

"Say what?" Aveline blinked, clearly confused as she looked at Selena.

Selena sighed and rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit exasperated. But maybe it wasn't the right moment to push the subject too far?

Before she could decide, Maria spoke up. "There's really nothing much to say. Sidney used to have feelings for Aveline, but she's always been in love with Lucas. Now, he's interested in me, although I suspect there might be other factors at play. But that's all in the past now."

Hearing this, Selena paused for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I guess I was reading too much into it."

She knew Maria wasn't the type to hold grudges.

Besides, Maria was Lucas' subordinate, and if she had any ill will toward Aveline, she wouldn't have been so dedicated to helping her.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Plus, Aveline really wasn't involved in any of it-it was Sidney who couldn't seem to make up his mind.

Aveline, realizing what Selena had been hinting at, smiled wryly. "You really are overthinking things. Sidney and I never had anything going on, not from the start."

Selena waved a hand dismissively. "Fine, fine, I thought I'd get to see some drama."

Maria raised an eyebrow. "You're really floating on air these days if you're hoping to see Aveline in a mess."

Selena laughed sheepishly. "Okay, my bad, my bad. So, about that food-should I get it delivered for us?"

Aveline smiled. "I am actually hungry."

Pregnancy certainly made her appetite unpredictable, but she had to be mindful of what she ate, for both her and the babies' sake.

Just then, Aveline's phone rang, and it was sitting right there on the table, visible to everyone.

Lucas' name flashed on the screen, and before Aveline could react, Selena quickly pressed the answer button and put it on speaker, grinning mischievously as she winked at Aveline.

"What's up?" Aveline asked.

Lucas' deep voice came through the speaker, smooth and rich. "I've made dinner. Come home and eat."

At his words, Aveline's eyes instantly brightened. Since her pregnancy, her tastes had become more particular, and Lucas had taken it upon himself to cook for her, trying out different dishes. She absolutely loved his cooking! Selena quickly grabbed Aveline's wrist and shook her head, signaling her to wait.

Aveline hesitated for a moment before saying, "Oh, I won't be coming back. I'm staying at Selena's tonight."

Hearing this, Selena grinned triumphantly.

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Lucas responded, "Alright. I'll come by later to pick you up." With that, he hung up the phone.

Selena immediately chimed in,

"Aveline, stay here tonight! We haven't seen each other in

Aveline nodded with a smile. "Sure, I don't mind."

Selena's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Maria, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow slightly. She could see exactly what Selena was up to.

As night fell, the girls had all taken showers and gathered together, planning to spend the night catching up.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Selena quickly turned to Aveline. "Quick, go to the bedroom and pretend you're asleep!" Aveline chuckled and nodded. "Alright."

She flashed a playful smile as she

headed to the bedroom, happy to play along with Selena's plan. She also wanted more time to relax with

her.

BUMS

Once Aveline was out of sight, Selena walked over to open the door. Without letting Lucas in, she stood in the doorway and asked, "What do you want?"

Lucas, his expression cold and distant, stared at her with frosty eyes. "I'm here to pick up Aveline."

"You're too late," Selena replied, a smug look on her face. "She's already asleep."

At that, Lucas' brows furrowed deeply.
