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

Though the letters were a bit crooked, Aaron had succeeded. He placed the bread on the table, glanced at Gavin, and seeing no reaction from him, didn't dwell on it. His focus was clear-he needed to get to his bride. With the bouquet in hand, Aaron eagerly pushed open the bedroom door, only to find Aveline, her belly prominently showing, standing at the door with the wedding shoes in her hand, clearly blocking the way. She blinked and gave him a warm smile, extending her hand. "Hand over the cash, and I'll let you through."

Without hesitation, Aaron spun around, grabbed two hefty envelopes from one of his groomsmen, and handed them to Aveline.

Her arms dropped slightly from the weight, nearly fumbling the envelopes. She looked down in surprise. "Wow, that's a lot of money!" she said, noting how stuffed they were likely holding around two thousand dollars each. Aveline hugged the envelopes and shoes tightly, grinning. "Still not enough."

Aaron pulled out two more heavy envelopes and teased, "Aveline, you won't be able to carry these much longer."

She held her ground. "You can set them down, but it's still not enough."

Aaron looked at her, amused, and said, "Alright, name your price."

After a brief pause, Aveline smiled sweetly and said, "I want half of your assets."

The room erupted in laughter and surprise. They thought the earlier challenges were tough, but clearly, this last one was the real challenge! And since the woman holding the shoes was pregnant, no one dared try to take them from her. If Aaron didn't play along, there'd be no bride for him today.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Aaron was momentarily stunned. Half his assets? She was playing big!

He turned to Lucas, chuckling. "So, if I give up half my assets to you guys, will you take care of me and my wife from now on?"

Lucas, with a loving gaze toward Aveline, replied, "We can afford it."

"Betrayal! Don't forget you're on my side!" Aaron exclaimed.

Lucas simply shrugged.

"Can't afford it? Well then, no wedding. Let's go," he said,

"Stop right there!" Aaron shouted, shocked at Lucas' sudden defection.

him.

Unbelievable! Who had the brilliant idea of putting Aveline in charge of the third challenge?

Maria, standing in the back, quietly took a couple of steps backward feeling slightly guilty. "Well, that's the whole point, isn't it? It makes things more fun!"

Aveline blinked at Aaron with a playful smile. "So, are you willing to give up half your assets to marry Selena?"

Aaron grinned. "I am! I'll have a contract drafted right now!"

Aveline studied him for a moment, then smiled warmly. "Alright, I believe you truly love her."

With that, she handed him the wedding shoes.

Aaron took them gratefully. "Thank you!"

Without wasting any time, he dashed into the room. When he finally saw Selena sitting gracefully on the bed, he felt a sudden rush of emotion, and to his surprise, his eyes turned misty.

Even though they were already legally married, something about this ceremony-this moment-felt deeply significant.

Yes.

He wanted to introduce Selena to the world as his wife.

"Honey, I'm here to get you," he said, his voice thick with emotion.

Selena gently lowered her fan and smiled at him. "I'm ready."

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, and the rest of the group quickly joined in, chanting and cheering.
