Looking at her brothers, Aveline felt a warmth spreading in her heart. This must be what having a family feels like. She cherished it, this sense of belonging.
Yet, every time she lay awake at night, her thoughts drifted back to Lucas.
He had disappeared without a word, and his lies, his silence—it all haunted her. What did it all mean? He had left without a trace, and now, there was no news, nothing.
Had everything he said before meant nothing?
…
Three days before the New Year.
Selena barged into the Cooper household, dragging her suitcase behind her. The moment she walked in, she dropped onto the sofa with an angry huff, arms crossed, clearly upset.
The housekeeper informed Aveline, who came down from upstairs. Seeing Selena in such a state, Aveline couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Selena wasted no time venting her frustration. “I want to divorce Aaron!”
“What?” Aveline blinked, taken aback. “Why?”
Selena grabbed the glass of juice handed to her by the housekeeper, took a big gulp, and then said, “He never told me he has a crush! Now that she’s back in the country, he didn’t even tell me! If I hadn’t caught them having dinner together, I’d still be in the dark!”
“Wait, what?” Aveline was still processing. “Are you sure it’s his crush?”
Selena nodded vigorously. “Absolutely!”
Aveline frowned. “But... did you find out what was going on? Why were they having dinner? Was it just a casual meet-up between friends, or was there something more?”
