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

Gernard casually pulled out one of the slips and said, "Let's see what tasks we've got here."

Unfolding the paper, he saw the words "sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy."

Looking puzzled, Gernard asked, "What does that mean?"

Maria explained, "As the name suggests, the groom has to experience all the flavors of life-sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy. No skipping any."

With that, she headed into the kitchen and returned a few moments later with a collection of ingredients. "I've got lemon juice for sour, sugar for sweet, bitter melon for bitter, and mustard for spicy." "This is great!" Gernard chuckled, clearly enjoying the idea.

"But I suggest swapping the vinegar for lemon juice-it'll be even more fun," he added.

Maria nodded in agreement. "That works."

Turning to Gavin, Gernard said, "There's one more task. Go ahead, open yours and see what it is."

Gavin, clearly less enthusiastic about the whole thing, reluctantly took the other slip of paper and opened it. It read: "Love toast."

Gernard peered over his shoulder, looking even more confused. "What's 'Love toast' supposed to be?"

Maria smiled. "The groom has to bite out the word 'love' or Selena's name on a slice of toast. If he manages that, he passes."

"Not bad, these challenges are getting creative!" Gernard laughed, already imagining Aaron struggling through it.

Gavin, however, remained indifferent. He placed the paper down and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

Soon after, Aveline came back, now fully dressed in her special maternity gown. The dress was loose but elegant, perfectly suited for her.

Now fully awake, Aveline asked curiously, "Do you need me for any of the games?"

Maria nodded. "You've got the final task-hiding the shoes. When the groom comes to get the bride, you'll hold onto one of her shoes. No one will dare try to take it from you. When the time's right, you can ask Aaron for a little something in exchange. No shoes for him unless he offers something up."

Without the shoes, the bride couldn't leave with the groom.

Aveline grinned. "Sounds fun."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Wow, the bride looks stunning!" came an excited voice from the bedroom.

Everyone stood up and walked over, only to be greeted by the sight of Selena, the beautiful bride, sitting elegantly on the bed. Her intricate headpiece sat perfectly atop her head, and her makeup was refined and regal. Her posture was naturally straight, and her beauty left

everyone in awe.

Maria handed her a small box and smiled. "This is my wedding gift to you. It'll go perfectly with your outfit today."

Selena's eyes lit up with excitement. "Wow, thank you so much!"

She opened the box to find a beautiful pair of pearl earrings, intricately designed with fine detailing, perfectly complementing her wedding dress. She held them up, the earrings adding an elegant touch to her overall look.

"It's gorgeous," Aveline said with admiration, her eyes practically sparkling as she admired the earrings.

Seeing her reaction, Maria smiled. "Don't worry, I'll get you one for your wedding too."

"Deal!" Aveline nodded, clearly excited about the idea.

As dawn broke, a commotion started to rise outside, growing louder as it approached. "Quick! The groom is here!" someone shouted from outside.

Maria quickly turned to Gavin and

Gernard. Alright, you two are up

You've got the first and second challenges-make sure to give them a hard time!"

Then, she handed the shoe to Aveline. "And you're in charge of this! No one gets the bride without it!"

"Got it!" Aveline grinned.

The games for the groom had three rounds in total, and Maria was there to explain each one.

The front door opened, and soon the elevator doors slid open too. Aaron, dressed in a striking black suit, charged forward, leading the way.
