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

Aaron looked puzzled. "What's going on?"

Lucas frowned. "I don't know. Just the smell of that food makes me want to vomit."

Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I'll have someone prepare a meal and bring it over. Let's see how you react to that." Lucas didn't refuse, just closed his eyes wearily.

At Maple Garden, Aveline and Selena finished lunch and then settled in the living room to play video games.

"Help me, please! I need backup!"

"Ah, we both died!"

"How is this jungle player so overpowered?"

Selena's constant cries of frustration filled the room. Every time they lost a game, she'd collapse on the couch, only to bounce back with renewed determination when the next round started. Aveline, on the other hand, remained calm and steady, her performance consistently average.

Just then, her phone rang. Since she was in the middle of a game, she put it on speaker and continued playing while answering.

"Hello?"

Aaron's voice came through. "Aveline, I need a favor."

Selena immediately leaned in and teased, "You know, Aveline charges a hefty appearance fee. Can you afford it?"

Aaron snapped, "I'm talking to Aveline, not you. Be quiet."

Aveline chimed in, "Selena's got a point."

Aaron paused for a moment before continuing, "Can you cook something and bring it to the hospital? I'll pay whatever it costs." Aveline focused on her game screen, surprised. "One thousand for a meal. Will you pay?"

Aaron gritted his teeth. "I'll pay!"

"Alright," Aveline agreed.

One thousand for a meal-she couldn't pass that up! Especially since it was coming out of Lucas' pocket.

After the game ended, she got up and headed to the kitchen.

Selena followed her.

"Are you really going to cook for him?" she asked.

Aveline glanced at Selena. "Where else could you find a job that pays this well?"

Selena fell silent. She had to admit, there wasn't anywhere else like that.

"Alright, fine. For that kind of money, I guess it's worth it," she conceded.

Aveline kept the meal simple-just two dishes, both vegetarian and easy to digest. When she arrived the hospital, she noticed the

windows in Lucas' room were open, and he looked worse than before, pate and weak.

Aaron greeted her as she entered. "This is our last resort."

"What's going on?" Aveline asked, puzzled.

Aaron sighed. "He's been vomiting at the smell of food-doesn't matter if it's from a restaurant or homemade by the staff." Aveline looked at Lucas. "Is that true?"

Lucas didn't respond, seemingly too exhausted to even open his eyes.

Aaron set up a small table and took the lunchbox from her. When he saw how basic the meal was, he couldn't help but grimace. "You sure know how to charge a lot for something so simple."

Aveline replied coolly, "You didn't have to hire me."

Aaron was speechless.

Strangely, when Lucas caught the scent of the food, he didn't feel nauseous.

Aaron let out a skeptical laugh. "If I hadn't seen how sick you were just a moment ago, I'd think you were faking it."

Lucas' voice was hoarse. "I'm not eager to die just yet."

He picked up the utensils and

started eating. Remarkably, not only

did Aveline's cooking not make him

sick it actually stimulated his

appetite.

As Aveline watched him eat, she suddenly asked, "So, how about a monthly plan? I can give you a discount."

Aaron looked at her, intrigued. "How much for a month?"This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Aveline considered for a moment before replying, "Four million."

Aaron's eyes widened. "Why don't you just rob a bank instead?"
