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

Aaron gently slipped the wedding shoes onto Selena's feet, then leaned in to kiss her.

"Wow!" The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

In one swift motion, Aaron scooped Selena into his arms, carrying her out of the room with large strides. As they exited, someone popped a confetti cannon, showering them with colorful streamers, adding to the joyous atmosphere. Laughter and excitement filled the air.

A line of luxury cars awaited them, making their way to the hotel with an impressive procession. The street was cleared for their passage, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.

At the venue, the banquet hall was vast and opulent, with crystal chandeliers casting a dreamy glow over the entire space.

Guests were already seated, chatting and anticipating the ceremony.

Selena went to the dressing room, where she changed into a breathtaking wedding gown and had her hair and makeup redone, taking her beauty to another level. Aveline watched, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

Selena caught sight of her and quickly asked, "Ave, why are you crying? Do I not look beautiful?"

Aveline nodded, her voice thick with emotion. "You look stunning, absolutely beautiful."

She wasn't sure why she felt so emotional-perhaps it was the realization of how far they had come. Despite all the challenges, they found happiness. Selena, still getting her hair styled, tried to comfort her friend. "No more tears! Just watch me walk down the aisle, all gorgeous. Next up, it'll be your turn." Aveline took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears.

Just then, there was a knock on the dressing room door.

One of the attendants opened it slightly and peeked outside. "Mr. Tudor? Is there something you need?"

Aveline turned and saw Lucas at the door. She excused herself, walking over as the attendant stepped aside.

As soon as she stepped out, Lucas pulled her into a gentle embrace.

"I knew you'd end up crying," he said softly, stroking her back.

Lucas knew how deep her bond with Selena was more than just friends, they were like sisters. It was no surprise the emotional moment had brought tears.

Aveline nestled into his arms, quietly

letting her emotions flow until she felt a bit lighter. She sniffled and looked up at him. "Is my makeup ruined?" t

Lucas gazed at her for a moment, studying her face in silence.

Growing anxious, Aveline urged him, "Come on, tell me! If it's smudged, I need to fix it!"

"There's still the ceremony later!" Aveline reminded him, but before she could say more, Lucas leaned in without warning, capturing her lips in a tender kiss. His lips moved gently over hers, lingering in a soft, affectionate rhythm. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Aveline's breath hitched, her hands instinctively clutching the fabric of his suit, crumpling it slightly in her grip. After a long moment, Lucas pulled back, his voice husky as he whispered, "Now it's smudged."

Aveline glared at him playfully. "You...!"

This man had done it on purpose!

Lucas chuckled softly. "Ave, I haven't kissed or held you in three days. I've missed you. Don't you miss me too?"

His directness and open warmth made it impossible for her to stay upset.

With a huff, she replied, "I need to go back inside."

"Alright," Lucas said with a soft smile. "After the ceremony, I'll take you home for a proper rest."

Aveline didn't respond, just pushed open the door and stepped back inside.

Selena immediately teased her. "Well, did Mr. Tudor sweet-talk you back into a good mood?"

With her cheeks still flushed, Aveline walked over to the mirror to fix her lipstick.

Selena took one look at her and laughed. "Your lips are already so swollen. Maybe skip the lipstick."

Aveline muttered under her breath. "Lucas's fault."

Selena couldn't help but smile at her friend's flustered state. The playful banter between them lightened the mood in the room. With the final touches complete, the ceremony was ready to begin.

The classic wedding march filled the air, and the lights in the grand hall dimmed, leaving only the entrance illuminated.

The doors slowly opened, revealing Aaron standing tall in a sleek black suit, exuding elegance and refinement as he waited for his bride.
