After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 

Aveline said, I’m Aveline Young. I used to work here parttime.” 

Zane’s face lit up with recognition. Yes, yes, you’re that young girl! You got into college, didn’t you?” 

He smiled warmly, remembering the girl who had once stood 

stubbornly at his shop’s entrance, promising not to cause trouble and only wanting to earn some living expenses

There were laws against employing child labor, but this determined girl had insisted, vowing she just wanted to work to support herself. She had been quick and efficient whenever customers came in and had shared her dream of going to college and leaving Arthur Town

Feeling touched, Zane reluctantly agreed to employ her without much. expectation. He thought she might last a few days before quitting, like many young people who couldn’t handle the hard work. But to his surprise, she had worked there for three years

Zane had grown fond of the girl, treating her like the daughter he never had, often cooking special treats for her

Yes, I did.Aveline nodded, her eyes shimmering with emotion

She cherished the warmth and kindness she had found here, a stark 

contrast to much of her life

Zane nodded repeatedly. That’s great, I always knew you were destined for great things. Now that you’re here, make yourself at home. Sit down and eat whatever you like. It’s in the house!” 

Aveline was touched. How could I? You need to run your business, and besides, I didn’t come here alone.” 

Zane’s gaze shifted to Lucas, and he nodded approvingly. This young man looks promising. Is he your boyfriend? You have good taste.” 

Aveline didn’t deny it. Instead, she smiled and went to help out

Lacas stood aside, observing this unfamiliar side of Aveline and taking in the small, somewhat rundown barbecue restaurant

She used to work parttime here

His brows furrowed. While he had investigated her background out of suspicion, he had never truly delved into her past. Now, however, a sudden desire to understand more about her history arose within him

Watching her busily helping around the shop, a soft expression unknowingly crossed his eyes

Aveline helped clean up two tables before sitting beside Lucas. Did you order?” 

Lucas replied, Since you used to work here, you should know what’s good. You order.” 

Alright.” 

Aveline didn’t hesitate. She picked up the menu and began writing down her choices, then headed to the kitchen

Laughter and cheerful voices emanated from the kitchen, warming Lucas’s heart

When Aveline returned, she carried a plate of skewers. Here, try these. They’re really good.” 

Back when Zane used to make special treats for her, these skewers had always been her favorite

Lucas took a skewer as she suggested, savoring the rich, spicy flavors and tender meat. It was indeed delicious

Aveline rested her chin on her hand, watching him. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this downtoearth side of you.”
