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

Seeing that Russell didn't bring up the Johnson family, Selena didn't continue the topic either.

"Alright, thank you," she said sincerely.

Russell replied, "She's my friend too. If she's in trouble, it's only right I help. Wait for my update." After saying that, he hung up the phone. Selena put down her phone and clasped her hands together in prayer.

"Ave, please be safe."

Behind her, the door opened, and Aaron walked in.

He glanced at her worried face, pursing his lips before asking, "Did you just ask Russell for help?"

Selena looked at him briefly before sitting down on the sofa. "Another person means another bit of strength. You and Lucas are both unreliable!"

Hearing this, Aaron's brows furrowed. "It's fine if you wanted to insult Lucas, but why drag me into it?"

Selena glanced at him, suddenly thinking about how the Fletcher family had always made things difficult for her.

She felt wronged, and her face showed her frustration.

"You're all big jerks."

"That's going too far." Aaron walked over, grabbed her chin, and looked at her unkindly, then leaned in to kiss her.

Selena, however, dodged him. "Is now really the time? Why are you always thinking about these things?"

Staring into his eyes, she suddenly asked, "Are you with me just for this?"

Aaron's brows tightened at her words. "What nonsense are you thinking?"

Selena scoffed. "Isn't it true?"

Every time in bed, he was like a ravenous wolf, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Aaron reached out and playfully pinched her cheeks, puffing out her lips like a goldfish. "What's gotten into you, Selena?" he said. "Isn't it normal for me to be interested in your body? You're my girlfriend, after all. If I started eyeing someone else, you'd flip out." Selena blinked at him, her words coming out with some difficulty. "But I won't stay young forever."

Aaron responded, "And you think I will?"

Selena was at a loss for words.

Aaron frowned at her. "What's really gotten into you? Why are you saying these things? Aren't we doing fine?"

Yes, they were doing fine, except she had been warned and threatened by the Fletcher family, but that was just on her end.

Should she tell him?

If she did, what would he choose?

Selena couldn't decide, and she wasn't willing to take the risk. She pushed his hand away and sighed. "It's just seeing how upset Ave is, I can't help but feel the same.

Aaron sat down and pulled her into his arms. "I won't let anyone make you feel wronged."

Leaning against his chest, Selena didn't respond for a while.

...

That night, Aveline didn't sleep well at all.

She kept tossing and turning, waking up repeatedly to nothing but

darkness. Her emotions spirale ne

and she wept uncontrollably before drifting off again in a daze.

When morning came, she felt drained, her energy completely gone.

Wanda knocked and entered the room to see Aveline's eyes swollen.

She let out a soft sigh.

"Miss Young, the weather is nice today. How about going outside to get some fresh air?" Wanda suggested. Aveline, however, replied, "I'm blind. What difference does it make whether I go out or not?"This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Wanda was momentarily speechless.

After a long pause, she finally said, "I'll get your breakfast."

Aveline fumbled her way to the bathroom, bumping into things

along the way. When she finall

reached the sink, the search for counter began.

The whole process was painfully slow and exhausting.

By the time she held the toothbrush and toothpaste, tears had already started to fall again.
