After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 880

Selena looked at Gernard, her face scrunching up playfully. "Gernard, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying you don’t want an adorable, lively, beautiful sister like me?" She cupped her face with both hands, batting her eyes dramatically.

Gernard gave a faint smile. "I don’t mind, but someone else might."

"Huh?" Selena blinked, her eyes shifting toward Aveline.

Aveline shrugged, clearly staying out of it. That left only one person—Gavin.

Pouting slightly, Selena made up her mind. She would need to have a little chat with Gavin. Why wouldn’t he want her in the family?

Wilfried and Gavin finally emerged from the study almost two hours later.

Waiting for them at the foot of the stairs, arms crossed, was Selena.

"Mr. Wilfried, it’s getting late. You should head to bed," Selena said with a polite smile as she looked at Wilfried.

Wilfried chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Good idea. You all should get some rest too."

With that, he headed to his room, leaving Selena to focus her attention on Gavin.

"Mr. Cooper, do you have a moment for a chat?" she asked, fixing her gaze on him.

Gavin, adjusting his sleeve as he descended the stairs, carried himself with his usual cold, dignified air. Tall, handsome, and commanding, his presence exuded quiet authority as he regarded her with an indifferent glance. "What do you want to talk about?"

Selena didn’t hold back. "Do you have something against me?"

Gavin’s response was short. "No."

He walked past her, heading toward the mini bar to pour himself a glass of water. Selena followed him, undeterred.

"So, what’s your opinion of me?" she pressed.

Gavin glanced at her, his tone unbothered. "No opinion."

Selena was perplexed, biting her lip in frustration. She couldn't just come out and demand what she really wanted, so instead, she asked, "Then why…?"

Gavin cut her off, his voice cool. "If you’ve got something to say, say it directly."

Selena’s eyes narrowed. "Mr. Wilfried wants to take me in as his goddaughter. Why did you object?"
