After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 677

Aaron looked puzzled. "What’s going on?"

Lucas frowned. "I don’t know. Just the smell of that food makes me want to vomit."

Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I’ll have someone prepare a meal and bring it over. Let’s see how you react to that."

Lucas didn’t refuse, just closed his eyes wearily.

At Maple Garden, Aveline and Selena finished lunch and then settled in the living room to play video games.

"Help me, please! I need backup!"

"Ah, we both died!"

"How is this jungle player so overpowered?"

Selena’s constant cries of frustration filled the room. Every time they lost a game, she’d collapse on the couch, only to bounce back with renewed determination when the next round started.

Aveline, on the other hand, remained calm and steady, her performance consistently average.

Just then, her phone rang. Since she was in the middle of a game, she put it on speaker and continued playing while answering.

"Hello?"

Aaron’s voice came through. "Aveline, I need a favor."

Selena immediately leaned in and teased, "You know, Aveline charges a hefty appearance fee. Can you afford it?"

Aaron snapped, "I’m talking to Aveline, not you. Be quiet."

Aveline chimed in, "Selena’s got a point."

Aaron paused for a moment before continuing, "Can you cook something and bring it to the hospital? I’ll pay whatever it costs."

Aveline focused on her game screen, surprised. "One thousand for a meal. Will you pay?"

Aaron gritted his teeth. "I’ll pay!"

"Alright," Aveline agreed.

One thousand for a meal—she couldn’t pass that up! Especially since it was coming out of Lucas’ pocket.

Aaron set up a small table and took the lunchbox from her. When he saw how basic the meal was, he couldn’t help but grimace. "You sure know how to charge a lot for something so simple."

Aveline replied coolly, "You didn’t have to hire me."

Aaron was speechless.

Strangely, when Lucas caught the scent of the food, he didn’t feel nauseous.

Aaron let out a skeptical laugh. "If I hadn’t seen how sick you were just a moment ago, I’d think you were faking it."

Lucas’ voice was hoarse. "I’m not eager to die just yet."

He picked up the utensils and started eating. Remarkably, not only did Aveline’s cooking not make him sick, it actually stimulated his appetite.

As Aveline watched him eat, she suddenly asked, "So, how about a monthly plan? I can give you a discount."

Aaron looked at her, intrigued. "How much for a month?"

Aveline considered for a moment before replying, "Four million."

Aaron’s eyes widened. "Why don’t you just rob a bank instead?"
