No one knew men better than other men, and Aaron could see right through Gavin’s intentions in an instant.
He shifted his gaze away, looking at Selena, who was happily munching on her chicken wing, blissfully unaware of Gavin’s feelings.
But that was fine—Selena was already his, and he had no intention of giving anyone the chance to take her away.
“Taste good?” Aaron asked.
Selena nodded eagerly. “Delicious! Did you grill this?”
Aaron raised an eyebrow. “I’ve been working the grill for ages, and you didn’t even notice? Seems like your attention wasn’t on me at all.”
Selena laughed cheekily. “What can I say? Too many handsome guys around—I can’t keep track.”
Seeing Aaron’s face darken, she quickly added with a grin, “I want some grilled fish, honey.”
That one word, "honey," instantly lit up Aaron’s mood.
With a smile, he turned to start grilling some fish for her.
Aveline watched the entire exchange, a quiet smile tugging at her lips.
After the meal, everyone started to relax and have fun. Maria pulled out her streaming setup and, to Aveline’s surprise, began singing live.
Curious, Aveline glanced at her phone and noticed tens of thousands of people had joined Maria’s stream.
"That many viewers? Are you a streamer?" Aveline asked, surprised.
Maria smiled modestly. "Just a hobby."
She then turned to the camera, her smile growing even more charming. “What songs do you want to hear, my darlings? I can sing a few more today.”
Aveline quietly edged a bit farther away, feeling a wave of goosebumps rise on her skin.
The afternoon sun was warm, and a gentle breeze blew through the air, making Aveline feel drowsy. She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and drifted off.
Selena covered her with a blanket, and the noise around her softened as everyone let her rest.
After some time, Aveline woke up, but something felt off. It was too quiet.
