After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 774

"I don’t want it," Aveline refused flatly.

Lucas popped the candy into his own mouth and remarked, "It's not that good."

Aveline just stared at him and said nothing.

If it wasn't good, he could just not eat it!

His little interruption distracted her, and she didn’t look back up at Russell on the stage.

With the emcee guiding the ceremony, Rina appeared, dressed in a flowing wedding gown with a veil that obscured her face.

When the moment came for the groom to kiss the bride, Russell lifted the veil and leaned in. Whether he actually kissed her or not was hard to tell.

Regardless, the room erupted into thunderous applause, filled with congratulations and best wishes.

As the ceremony ended, the toasts began.

Aveline's phone vibrated repeatedly. She leaned over to Lucas and said, "I need to go to the restroom."

Lucas looked at her with concern. "Want me to go with you?"

Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Are you insane?"

Lucas replied, "I'm worried you might get lost or get kidnapped."

Aveline felt a shiver run up her arm and quickly shook off his hand, heading straight for the restroom.

As she entered, she found Selena already there.

"Alright, spill it. What’s going on?" Selena demanded, arms crossed, her expression clearly stating that if she didn’t get a reasonable explanation, there would be trouble.

Aveline sighed lightly. "I got tricked by Lucas. He said he wanted me to accompany him somewhere, and I had no idea it was Russell’s wedding."

"Tsk tsk, what a sneaky guy!" Selena quickly grasped the situation and gave her honest assessment.

Aveline shrugged. "I'm already here. I can’t just turn around and leave, right? I’m here as Mrs. Tudor. If I walked out now, who knows what kind of headlines we’d see on tomorrow’s news."

Selena nodded in agreement. "Just tolerate it for now but make him pay later. If he dared to trick you, there should be consequences!"

Aveline chuckled, a mix of amusement and frustration. "And what consequences could I possibly impose on him?"
