After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 954

Aaron's eyes darkened even more at her words, a dangerous glint flickering.

"You want kids?" he asked quietly.

Selena blinked her large eyes innocently. "Don’t you? Aveline's having two at once! She’s amazing. We could just take one, right?"

Suddenly, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, and she gasped, instinctively straightening her back. "Aaron, what are you doing?"

His hand gripped her waist, and though his lips curved in a faint smile, there was a trace of menace in his gaze. "Why would we need someone else’s child? Can’t we have our own?"

It took a moment for Selena to realize something was off with Aaron today.

Hesitantly, she asked, "What’s gotten into you?"

Aaron gave a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing. "I heard you’ve been telling others I’m not… capable."

"I never said that!" Selena shot back immediately. "I know perfectly well that you are. Why would I ever say such a thing?"

But Aaron didn’t seem convinced.

Without warning, he stood up and scooped her into his arms, heading toward the bedroom.

"Selena, it seems I’ve been neglecting you these past few days, and it’s made you unhappy. Let’s fix that. And from now on, there will be no birth control in this house. If you like kids so much, we’ll have our own. As many as you want."

Selena panicked, her voice rising as she begged, "I really didn’t say anything! Aaron, don’t be crazy! Let me explain—one is enough, I swear!"

Her pleas fell on deaf ears.

By the end, her cries had softened into quiet whimpers as Aaron relentlessly exhausted her. In the haze of exhaustion, a sudden thought flashed through her mind.

Damn it!

She’d been tricked by Lucas again!

They were sworn enemies now.
