After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 960

Gernard casually pulled out one of the slips and said, "Let’s see what tasks we’ve got here."

Unfolding the paper, he saw the words "sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy."

Looking puzzled, Gernard asked, "What does that mean?"

Maria explained, "As the name suggests, the groom has to experience all the flavors of life—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy. No skipping any."

With that, she headed into the kitchen and returned a few moments later with a collection of ingredients. "I’ve got lemon juice for sour, sugar for sweet, bitter melon for bitter, and mustard for spicy."

"This is great!" Gernard chuckled, clearly enjoying the idea.

"But I suggest swapping the vinegar for lemon juice—it’ll be even more fun," he added.

Maria nodded in agreement. "That works."

Turning to Gavin, Gernard said, "There’s one more task. Go ahead, open yours and see what it is."

Gavin, clearly less enthusiastic about the whole thing, reluctantly took the other slip of paper and opened it. It read: "Love toast."

Gernard peered over his shoulder, looking even more confused. "What’s 'Love toast' supposed to be?"

Maria smiled. "The groom has to bite out the word 'love' or Selena’s name on a slice of toast. If he manages that, he passes."

"Not bad, these challenges are getting creative!" Gernard laughed, already imagining Aaron struggling through it.

Gavin, however, remained indifferent. He placed the paper down and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

Soon after, Aveline came back, now fully dressed in her special maternity gown. The dress was loose but elegant, perfectly suited for her.

Now fully awake, Aveline asked curiously, "Do you need me for any of the games?"

Maria nodded. "You’ve got the final task—hiding the shoes. When the groom comes to get the bride, you’ll hold onto one of her shoes. No one will dare try to take it from you. When the time’s right, you can ask Aaron for a little something in exchange. No shoes for him unless he offers something up."
