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

"You!"

Aveline's expression darkened.

Aaron's attitude made it clear he saw Selena as nothing more than a plaything.

If that was the case, there was no way she would let Aaron take Selena away tonight.

"Fine, let her go. You have no right to take her, and even less right to interfere with her freedom," Aveline said coldly.

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Aveline, I'm being civil because of Lucas. Do you think too highly of yourself?"

Aveline's gaze remained icy. "You don't need to consider him at all. I have nothing to lose. If you insist on taking her, you'll have to go through me first."

There was a fierce determination in her eyes. She was resolute in protecting Selena. Selena was her only family now.

Moved by Aveline's resolve, Selena suddenly bit down hard on Aaron's hand, causing him to release her in pain.

Selena quickly ran to Aveline's side. "Ave, I won't go with him!"

Aveline nodded. "I'll protect you."

Selena was overwhelmed with emotion, nearly ready to pledge her life to Aveline.

Aaron watched the two of them, feeling a sense of frustration. Despite his words, he knew he couldn't do much to Aveline-after all, she was still Lucas' wife.

His gaze, now tinged with coldness, fell on Selena's face, and a wicked smile curved his lips. "You better pray she can always be there for you."

With that, he walked past them, got into his car, and drove off.

The other cars followed, allowing Selena to finally relax her tense body.

She let out a bitter smile. "Great, now I've caught the eye of a scumbag."

Aveline held her hand, and the two got back into the car.

After a long silence, Aveline spoke. "You should stay at my place."

Selena was quiet for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'll find a way out. I can't just wait for him to come after me."

Aveline frowned. "But he's already set his sights on you."

Selena said, "I'll figure out how to throw him off. When the time comes, I'll ask Russ for help. He'll help out for your sake, and you can take the credit." Aveline hesitated for a moment. This plan of Selena's was certainly bold.

But after thinking it over, it seemed like their only option.

Aveline drove back, and by the time they returned to Maple Garden, dawn had already broken.

Selena insisted on going home.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

On the way, she said, "Aaron probably thinks I've gone to your place, so I won't go there. I'm going home to rest, and then I'll consider leaving Cloudflare City."

Aveline felt it was a bit risky.

But Selena responded, "The safest place is often the most dangerous one. If something happens, I'll just have to accept it."

Unable to argue with her, Aveline dropped her off at a street corner and watched as Selena's figure disappeared before returning to Maple Garden.

After a night of running around, she found herself unable to sleep.

Her mind was filled with worry for Selena, along with a nagging suspicion.

How did Aaron find out so quickly about Selena's plan to escape? Aveline thought for a moment before dialing Mason's number.

"Miss Young," Mason answered, his voice sounding a bit weary.

Aveline asked, "Have you noticed anyone else following me?"

Mason was taken aback and quickly replied, "No, Miss Young, only Jason and I are around you."
