After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 789

Aveline wasn't sure what to do, so she decided to keep the evidence safe for now, knowing it would be a while before she could head to Larbor City.

She kept herself busy for several days.

The final designs were approved, and the winery project had started.

She began interviewing designers, but after several rounds, none of the candidates stood out.

Many had creative ideas, but they were impractical—imaginative concepts that would be difficult to bring to life.

One day, Selena invited her out for a meal.

The fondue pot simmered, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma of melted cheese and garlic. Aveline took a bite of her bread, but her attention was quickly drawn to Selena, who let out yet another sigh.

“What’s wrong? You’ve sighed twenty-eight times since we got here.”

Selena looked at her in mock surprise. “You were actually counting? I had no idea you loved me so much!”

Aveline replied, “Cut the crap. What’s going on?”

Selena sighed again. “I got called in for a talk with the Fletchers.”

Aveline paused mid-bite. “What?”

Selena continued, “It happened a few days ago. After Russ' wedding, the Fletchers saw me with Aaron. They intercepted me afterward. The whole conversation was basically them hinting that I’m not suitable for Aaron, that his future wife needs to be someone who matches their status.”

Aveline was silent for a moment before she asked, “So, what are you sighing about?”

Selena sighed again. “I just didn’t expect the Fletchers to be so stuck up. Do they call in every girl Aaron dates for an interview? What century is this? Ever heard of freedom in love and marriage?”

Aveline looked at her carefully. “Do you want to marry Aaron?”

“Absolutely not!” Selena quickly denied it. “I’ve never thought about it that way!”

Aveline responded, “Then why are you so bothered? You’ve always been clear that you’re only seeing him for three months. So, whatever they say, it shouldn’t matter to you.”
