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

To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn't dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself. Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.

Aveline's belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows.

Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."

Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"

As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.

Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between their children.

After hearing it, Aveline found it amusing.

"You're not even pregnant, and you're already thinking that far ahead?" she laughed. "Besides, Aaron's right. What if we both have children of the same gender? How are we going to arrange a marriage?"

"That's why I gave up on the idea," Selena said. "He lectured me, saying we shouldn't interfere with our future children's relationships. If something went wrong, I'd be the one to blame." Aveline nodded. "Aaron's absolutely right."

Just then, the door opened, and Lucas walked in. He was tall and slender, dressed in a dark gray shirt and black slacks. His handsome face and deep, dark eyes were full of tenderness as they landed on Aveline. "Have some strawberries."

Lucas placed a bowl of freshly washed strawberries next to Aveline, gave her a familiar kiss on the cheek, and then sat beside her, gently massaging her legs.

Selena glanced at him, quickly looked away, and after a moment, glanced again before averting her gaze once more.

Without even lifting his eyelids, Lucas said calmly, "If you've got something to say, just say it."

"Ahem!"

Selena cleared her throat and said, "Braden is a great bodyguard. Why don't you give him to me?" "Dream on."

Lucas scoffed, rejecting her outright.

Selena paused for a moment before saying, "How about we ask Braden? See who he'd rather follow?"

Lucas shot her a cold glance. "I

swnovce."

Selena rolled her eyes dramatically. "You're such a jerk."

Lucas responded, "You don't even have the decency to ask nicely, and you still expect me to give him to you? Wishful thinking."

Selena was instantly infuriated, gearing up for a full-on confrontation.

"Lucas, get out," Aveline suddenly interjected.

Lucas looked over at her, his gaze instantly softening. "Ave, I haven't finished massaging your legs." "We're having a girls' chat. You don't need to be here," she said, her expression full of disdain.

Lucas pressed his thin lips together, visibly displeased, but he couldn't go against Aveline's wishes. Her emotions were fragile at the

moment, and even the slighter net

discomfort could send her into a meltdown. Not easy to calm down afterward.

So, he obediently got up and left, though as he reached the door, he cast a frosty glance at Selena.

Selena wasn't one to back down, glaring right back at him.

Hmph, she definitely could glare better than him! Jerk!
