After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397 

Aveline nodded. “Okay.” 

She then turned to Selena. “Come with me.” 

“No way,” 

“Absolutely not.” 

Two voices spoke at the same time. One was Selena’s, who shot a look of disdain at Lucas. “There’s no way I’m staying under the same roof as him. I’d be tempted to stab him in his sleep, and I don’t want to go to jail.” 

Aveline was speechless. 

Lucas‘ face hardened. “Just throw her in the basement and let her sleep with those guys for a night.” 

“You bastard…” Selena nearly exploded. 

Aveline quickly intervened, “Let’s take you home first.” 

At that moment, Aaron’s voice chimed in, “I’ll take her.” 

Selena looked at him suspiciously, “Is there any hidden motive behind your kind offer?” 

Aaron laughed in exasperation. “I saved your life, didn’t I? What do you think?” 

Selena muttered something under her breath, but no one caught it. 

Aveline thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take her. I’ll feel better knowing she got home safely.” 

Aaron replied, “I brought her back safely. What more reassurance do you need?” 

Aveline pressed her lips together. 

Lucas added, “You can trust Aaron to handle this.” 

Selena agreed, “After such a long day, you must be exhausted. Get some rest, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

“Alright.” 

Aveline nodded. She watched as Selena got into Aaron’s car, then reluctantly turned to get into Lucas‘ car. 

She couldn’t help but worry, her eyes following Aaron’s car as it drove away. 

Lucas noticed and his expression grew colder. “Aaron won’t do anything to Selena. He had better taste than that.” 

Aveline’s brows knitted together upon hearing this. She retorted bluntly, “Selena wouldn’t bring home garbage either.” 

“Hah!” Lucas let out a light snort and started the car. 

The atmosphere between them remained tense throughout the drive. 

The sky had completely darkened, and the surroundings were pitch black, barely visible. 

When they arrived at the Tudor residence, as soon as Aveline got out of the car, her phone rang. 

She looked at the screen and saw it was Aaron calling. Aaron never called her, so it had to be Selena. 

“Hello?” Aveline answered. 

Selena’s voice came through. “Ave, I’m home. Don’t worry about me.” 

Aveline finally relaxed. “Alright, take a good rest after a long day. Let me know if you feel unwell.”
