Aaron’s reply was clearly meant to provoke Lucas, and he hung up immediately after. Lucas let out a quiet scoff, then reached into his pocket for a cigarette, lighting it up 

It was dusk, and the sunset painted the western sky in a dazzling array of colors. Aveline, feeling tired, sat down on a bench, admiring the serene beauty of the lake reflecting the deep blue sky above. 

Selena handed her a bottle of water and said, “Ave, I have a feeling…” 

She hesitated. 

Aveline took a sip of water, looking at her curiously. “Hmm? What is it?” 

Selena sighed softly. “Looks like Lucas is trying to latch onto you. When force didn’t get him anywhere, he’s now opting for a gentler approach.” 

Aveline’s grip tightened on the water bottle. 

Selena, with her usual playful demeanor gone, looked at Aveline seriously and asked, “Are you going to waver?” 

Aveline’s lashes fluttered as she shook her head. “No.” 

Selena pressed, “Even though he was once the love of your life, and now he’s showing remorse, wanting your forgiveness, and hoping to live a good life with you–you won’t waver?” 

This time, Aveline’s voice was firmer, “No.” 

Selena smiled slightly. “It’s okay if you do waver, you know.” 

Aveline gave her a surprised look. 

Selena’s gaze drifted to the lake. “Just see how far he’s willing to go. If he’s ready to die for you, and actually does it, then it wouldn’t be too late to reconsider.” 

Aveline couldn’t help but laugh. She knew there was no way Selena would accept Lucas that easily. 

Lucas dying for her? 

Impossible. 

Lucas was the kind of person who always followed his own whims, a classic egotist. He would never do anything that might hurt or endanger himself. 

Taking another sip of water, she said, “It’s getting late. Let’s head back.” 

“Okay.” 

Selena nodded and helped her back home. 

When they opened the door, the living room was empty. It was the maid and caretaker’s break time, so they were in their respective rooms. 

Aveline returned to the master bedroom and said to Selena, “I’m not feeling well. I’m going to take a

on the stool and take my time.” 

Seeing Aveline’s determination, Selena didn’t push further. 

Aveline stepped into the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, and slowly undressed. Because of her injuries, she had to be cautious, carefully applying waterproof bandages to the areas that needed protection before taking her time with the wash.
