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

"Uh... yeah, that's true." Selena nodded, agreeing with Maria's reasoning.

Maria continued, "And you'll need to find the right moment to bring it up, to minimize the risk as much as possible."

Selena, now visibly nervous, stammered, "I-is it really that serious?"

Maria, looking completely serious, said, "Trust me, take this seriously."

"Got it," Selena muttered, running a hand through her hair in frustration.

Maria smiled slightly. "Get some sleep. You need to take care of yourself these next few days, so you'll be at your best for the wedding. You want to be the most stunning bride, don't you?" At the mention of the wedding, Selena's excitement dimmed.

Her mind kept spinning with thoughts of how Aaron would react if he found out she'd been pretending to be Snow this whole time.

What should she do? Would he be furious? Would he lose his temper?

This was such a mess!

If she'd known it would be this complicated, she would've confessed much sooner.

...

The night before the wedding.

After days of restless anxiety, Selena finally managed to calm herself. But almost immediately, she was overtaken by a new wave of nervous excitement-so much that she couldn't sleep at all. Tomorrow was her wedding day!

She paced back and forth in the room, unable to contain her energy. Aveline, watching her from the bed, let out a yawn. "Could you stop pacing? You're making me tired just looking at you." "Go to sleep if you're tired," Selena replied, waving her hand dismissively. "I can't. I'm too excited."

Aveline's eyelids were getting heavier by the second, but seeing Selena so jittery made her wonder if she'd be just as nervous when her own wedding day came.

Selena was getting married at Maple Garden, and the room was brimming with festive decorations-balloons, ribbons, and bright red celebratory symbols. The atmosphere was full of joy and anticipation for the big day ahead. Maria held up the bridesmaid dress, glanced at Aveline's growing belly, and couldn't help but laugh. "Tomorrow morning, as soon as you stand by the door, no one will dare barge in."

Selena nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! That's the effect I'm going for!"

Aveline, however, raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want me as your bridesmaid? I mean, I'm pregnant."

Traditionally, pregnant women weren't supposed to be bridesmaids.

What mattered most to her was Aveline, not superstitions.

Aveline smiled softly and nodded. "Alright then. I'll head to bed early and try to get up in time." "Good idea, go rest," Selena said, watching her friend yawn all the way back to the bedroom. Once Aveline was out of sight, Selena leaned back, her excitement bubbling over again.

"I can't believe it... I'm getting married tomorrow!"

Maria shook her head, amused. "Just a reminder, you're already married. Tomorrow's just the wedding." Selena waved her off. "Details, details. I'm still excited!"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Huh? Who's coming by so late?" Selena looked puzzled.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"I'll check," Maria offered as she headed to the door.

Peering through the peephole, she saw the two Cooper brothers standing outside. She opened

Gavin gave her a lazy glance, barely lifting his eyes as a form of greeting.

Gernard, on the other hand, went straight to the point. "Where's Selena?"

"I'm here!" Selena called out, rushing over with a bright smile. "Hey brothers, what are you guys doing here?"

Gernard smiled. "You've been calling us
