After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 595

Aveline fell silent, realizing there was no way to resist the combined efforts of Sidney and Selena. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright, tomorrow it is."

Sidney’s face lit up with joy, his eyes sparkling like stars, making it hard for anyone not to soften toward him.

As the sky darkened and the last traces of orange faded, the lights in the neighborhood flickered on, and the sounds of laughter echoed in the distance.

Selena suddenly remarked, "Why do I feel like we’re a family of three right now?"

Aveline shot her a blank look before turning to Sidney. "She’s always like this—don’t mind her."

Sidney’s face softened with a smile. "I think her personality is charming."

Selena immediately puffed up with pride. "Did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? And you still want to ignore me? Admit it—you don’t love me anymore!"

Aveline was speechless.

She quickly changed the topic. "By the way, have you encountered any challenges at work recently? I noticed that Maria hasn’t been taking you out to meetings as much."

At the mention of Maria, a flicker of discomfort crossed Sidney’s face. He shook his head and replied, "No, I’ve been spending most of my time in the office drafting plans. I’ve sent a few initial drafts to clients and am waiting for their feedback. But there’s one client request that I didn’t fully understand."

Aveline said, "Let’s talk about it. I have some free time now, so we can go over it together."

"Sure," Sidney agreed, walking beside her as he explained the client’s request. Aveline listened intently, occasionally offering suggestions.

Selena trailed behind them, deliberately creating some distance. She pulled out her phone, snapped a photo of their silhouettes under the streetlamp, and sent it to her social media. The overlapping shadows and the cozy atmosphere spoke volumes without any need for captions—those who knew would understand.

By the time they reached the elevator, Aveline noticed how far behind Selena had fallen. "What are you doing back there? Why are you taking so long?"

Selena, still holding her phone, replied, "Oh, I was just messaging someone."
