Selena struggled but couldn't break free.

Panic started to set in.

What was this jerk thinking?

Did he want to go for another round?

No way!

He wasn't good in bed, so she didn't want to suffer through that again!

She resisted fiercely.

Her body was soft, and as she writhed beneath him, Aaron's gaze grew darker.

"Keep squirming, and I'll take you right now," he said in a hoarse voice.

Selena froze, feeling his arousal, her face flushing with anger. "You... you better get off me right now!"

Instead of getting up, Aaron held her tighter. "You'd better stay still. I'll be done in a minute."

He leaned down, his breath warm against her delicate skin, sending shivers through her.

Selena stopped moving entirely, terrified of what he might do next.

This man was insufferable!

Lucas stared coldly at Russell, but a wicked smile played on his lips. "Sure, go ahead and introduce him to her. I'd like to see how good this lawyer is." Russell kept his gaze on Aveline.

Aveline lowered her eyes slightly, her long lash

"It is necessary. Why not?" Lucas interjected. "I happen to know some too. Let's see who's better. The loser gets lost. What do you say?"

Aveline frowned at him. "Lucao

can you being crazy?"

Lucas narrowed his eyes dangers o

Aveline was speechless.

She thought he was seriously unwell!

"Am I crazy? I'm perfectly calm."

Russell's smile faded slightly. He could see that Aveline was currently unable to divorce and didn't want to drag him into it, or she wouldn't have refused his help.: owner of this content.

"If you ever need help, feel free to reach out," Russell said gently, lookin

at her.

"Okay." Aveline nodded, the atmosphere between them harmonious.

Lucas watched coldly, finding the scene increasingly irritating. They were practically flirting right in front

of him.

Did they think he was invisible?

He took a large swig of beer before saying, "Are you done eating?"

Aveline looked at him, puzzled.

"We still need to pick out a gift for Grandma," Lucas reminded her.

Aveline had completely forgotten about that!

In two days, it would be Barbara's birthday celebration. As her granddaughter-in-law, she had to prepare a gift.

She glanced at the time and asked, "Isn't it too late to go shopping now?"

Lucas replied, "Don't worry, I have a way."

Aveline nodded and turned to Russell. "Russ, I have to go. Don't worry about cleaning up; I'll call a maid to handle it."

Russell said, "But you didn't eat much."

Aveline reassured him, "It's okay, I'm not hungry."

Just as Russell was about to say more, Lucas suddenly grabbed Aveline's wrist, pulled her close, and kissed her. Then he said, "Let's go." Aveline was momentarily stunned.

Russell's eyes darkened with a hint of sadness.

He didn't have the right to do those things to her, at least not yet.

But then, a faint smile appeared on Russell's lips.

Lucas had to resort to these tactics to assert his status now. What would happen if there was no marriage certificate in the future?

What would he be then?

He would be nothing.

The true winner was the man whom Aveline loved.

Russell stood up. "I should get going too."

He paused and asked, "What about Selena?"

At that moment, a strange noise came from the bedroom, and everyone heard it.
