He already had someone he liked.

But now that he had slept with Selena, would Snow be upset if she found out? Would she be hurt? Angry?

Aaron's mood soured.

What was he thinking, getting involved with Selena?

Lucas noticed Aaron's increasingly troubled expression and raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

Aaron, feeling frustrated, replied, "I have someone I like, and now I can't explain this mess."

Lucas said, "I thought you liked Selena.

Aaron looked at him in shock. "What? Me, like Selena? Are you blind? How could I possibly like her?"

Lucas replied in a serious tone, "If you don't like her, why do you keep hanging around her?"

Aaron, agitated, said, "Weren't you the one who asked me to keep an eye on her because she kept trying to convince Aveline to divorce you? Don't deny it, Lucas!" Lucas asked, "So, did you manage to keep her occupied?"

Aaron fell silent instantly.

No matter what he did, Selena always ended up in front of Aveline, trying to push for their divorce.

Selena really hated Lucas.

Aaron clicked his tongue. "You know, you're really not very likable."

Lucas gave him a cold look. "Do you have a death wish?"

Aaron said, "The more you act like this, the less Aveline likes you. Women prefer gentle and considerate men. With that cold expression, who would like you?"

Gentle and considerate? Like before?

Lucas lowered his gaze slightly, took another sip of his drink, and remained silent for a long time.

Aaron also drank, feeling melancholic.

He was worried that Selena would hold him accountable. What if it ruined things with Snow?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Selena sneezed several times in a row.

Aveline handed her a cup of hot water. "Are you catching a cold?"

Selena shook her head. "No, probably some jerk badmouthing me behind my back."

Aveline couldn't help but laugh. "Go wash your hands. Dinner's almost ready."

"Got it!"

Selena took a sip of hot water, then got up to wash her hands.

When she returned, the dishes were already set on the table.

Aveline, sitting nearby, noticed the marks all over Selena and couldn't resist asking, "Do you want to put on some clothes?"

Selena replied, "Nope."

Aveline was speechless.

Alright then.

Selena took a bite of food, her eyes lighting up immediately. "Mmm, I feel alive again!"

Aveline chuckled. "My cooking has such magical powers?"

Selena nodded earnestly. "I'm serious. I've eaten at so many restaurants, but your cooking is the best. When you and Lucas get divorced, you should consider moving to a small city and opening a little restaurant. It would be a huge hit!"

Aveline said, "Alright, I'll think about it."

Selena laughed and dug into her meal with gusto.

Just then, Aveline's phone rang. She looked at the screen, her eyes lighting up, "Hello, Russ!"

Russell's cheerful voice came through, "Long time no see. Are you free to meet up? I just got back today."

Aveline replied, "I'm out right now. Did you get to Cloudflare City?"

Russell said, "Yes. Where are you? I'll come to you."

Aveline glanced at Selena, who nodded.

"I'm at Selena's place. I'll send you the location. You're just in time," Aveline said.

Russell asked curiously, "Why's that?"

Aveline smiled. "I just finished cooking."
