After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 893

“Ave, look over there!” Selena’s voice called out suddenly.

Aveline turned her head and spotted Zachary walking toward them, his pace steady and calm.

Surprised, she stood up and made her way over.

“Zachary, you’re here too.”

He smiled warmly. “Yeah, Lucas sent me an invite. Said it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, and that you’ve been through a lot lately. Figured you might miss me, so here I am.”

Aveline glanced over at Lucas, who was chatting with Aaron, and felt a wave of warmth. She turned back to Zachary with a smile. “I did miss you. It’s been too long. How’ve you been?”

Zachary nodded. “Pretty good. The redevelopment project in Arthur Town is moving along smoothly. The orphanage is part of the plan, and we’ve already got two volunteer teachers there. The kids are doing much better now.”

Aveline pictured the scene and felt a sense of contentment. She nodded. “That’s wonderful to hear. Come, let’s sit over there.”

Desmond jumped in immediately. “Mr. Fletcher, we’ve got to join this! Time to show you what we’re really made of.”

Baron and Braden both nodded enthusiastically, their eyes filled with competitive excitement.

Aaron grinned. “No problem.”

There were plenty of fishing rods to go around, and soon, the group settled by the river, each of them earnestly focused on catching fish.

Selena couldn’t help but chuckle and turned to Aveline. “So, who do you think will win?”

Aveline thought for a moment before replying, “I’d bet on Zachary. He’s really good at catching fish.”

Selena snickered. “Better keep that opinion from Lucas. He’d definitely get jealous.”

Aveline sipped her juice calmly, watching the men as they focused on their fishing.

Lucas, Aaron, Lance, Desmond, Baron, Braden, Sidney, Zachary, Gernard, and Gavin…
