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

Maria stepped aside, allowing Gernard to enter first, followed by Gavin.

Gavin, hands casually in his pockets, glanced at Selena and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Selena grinned. "I'm too excited! I'm getting married tomorrow, and I can't sleep."

Gavin snorted softly. "Ridiculous."

Selena pouted in response. "You'll eat those words, brother. When it's your turn to get married, you'll be too excited to sleep, too!"

Gavin scoffed at the idea, dismissing her words entirely. The thought of being too excited to sleep before a wedding? Impossible. Selena, not wanting to argue further, turned away and brought two glasses of water over to them.

"Where's Mr. Cooper?" she asked Gernard.

"Dad's abroad at an important meeting," Gernard explained. "He'll probably only make it back tomorrow."

Selena nodded understandingly. "If it's too rushed, he doesn't need to come. I don't want him to overexert himself."

Gernard smiled softly. "I'll let him know."

Selena was genuinely happy-her family had grown by two more brothers.

As time passed, the excitement eventually gave way to exhaustion.

By the middle of the night, Selena felt exhaustion creeping in. She glanced at the clock, realizing that morning was fast approaching and the bridal preparation would be arriving soon. Sleep wasn't really an option.

Maria noticed and said, "Go rest for a bit. I'll wake you when it's time."

Selena yawned, nodding. "Alright, thanks."

She managed to catch a short nap, barely an hour and a half, before being woken up. The makeup artist was already there, ready to start.

When Selena finally donned her

traditional wedding attire, the others couldn't help but stare in awe. The stunning embroidery and her regal aura left everyone mesmerized.

"You look beautiful," Gernard complimented sincerely.

Maria took out her phone, capturing the moment. "This is too gorgeous not to document!"

Gavin remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Selena.

Noticing this, Gernard glanced at him and leaned in to whisper, "Stop overthinking it."

Gavin shot him a cool look. "You think you know me that well?"

Gernard shook his head. "No, but you know exactly what I'm getting at."

Gavin's expression remained distant as he turned his eyes back to Selena, continuing to watch her closely.

The preparations continued, and by the time Selena finished getting dressed, her hair styled and makeup applied, nearly an hour had passed.

Aveline emerged from her room, still

a bit groggy, but when she saw

Gavin and Gernard, her eyes

widened in surprise. "Brothers, when did you get here?"

Both men's expressions softened at the sight of her.

"We arrived last night," Gavin replied. "How have you been? Feeling alright here?"

Aveline nodded. "I'm doing well. It's been comfortable."

Gernard added, "Good to hear. As long as you're not feeling unwell."

Maria came over with a set of clothes for Aveline. "Since you're awake, you should go change. The groom will arrive soon."

She handed the outfit to Aveline,

then pulled out two slips of paper and looked at Gernard and Gavin. "Alright, since you two are part of the family now, how about you set the challenges? I've already written out the tasks. You just need to choose one."

Gernard raised an eyebrow. "So, Aaron has to go through some hurdles before he can take Selena away?"

Maria nodded. "Exactly. That's the idea."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
