After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 714

Aveline replied, "Couldn't sleep, so I just kept watching movies."

Selena moved closer, sat beside her, hugged her arm, and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Ave, I'm dating Aaron now," she announced.

"What?" Aveline looked at her in shock.

Selena then recounted what had happened, finishing with a light laugh, "I didn't expect him to agree so readily."

Aveline frowned. "Have you really thought this through?"

Selena shrugged. "What choice do I have if I haven’t? I can't really afford to piss him off; if I do, I’ll be the one facing the consequences. If I can enjoy myself instead, why should I suffer?"

Aveline pondered for a moment and nodded. "You have a point."

Selena noticed Aveline’s serious expression and chuckled, "Oh, come on, don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. Who knows, maybe in three months, we’ll actually develop feelings for each other. If Aaron ends up insisting on marrying me, wouldn’t I be the winner then?"

Aveline was silent for a moment before saying, "I hope everything goes as you wish."

Selena laughed, got up, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You should get some rest soon too."

"Okay."

Aveline nodded, watching her as she went into her room. Her feelings were mixed.

With Rina and Russell getting married and Aaron not needing to be engaged for now, on the surface, it seemed like there were no obstacles for them to be together.

But would Aaron really keep his word?

Would he truly let Selena go after three months?

A faint unease swept through her heart.

…

Aveline found herself running back and forth between the hospital and home quite often. It seemed she had a special connection with the hospital; maybe she should have gone into medicine back then.

Sidney said, "Is there anything I can do? Just let me know."

"No, it's alright. I've already arranged for a nurse to take care of her." Aveline smiled, then asked, “By the way, how is your mom?”

Sidney’s expression darkened slightly. “She… isn’t doing too well. She’s been talking about you a lot lately.”

Aveline responded, “Then I'll come with you to see her.”

“Are you sure?” Sidney’s eyes lit up a bit.

Aveline smiled. “Of course, I just need to speak with the nurse first.”

Sidney said, “Thank you, I appreciate it.”

After saying goodbye to Annie and giving the nurse a few instructions, Aveline left with Sidney.

At the hospital under the Skyler Group’s care, as they reached the door to the ward, Sidney hesitated, his face showing a hint of discomfort.
