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

No one knew men better than other men, and Aaron could see right through Gavin's intentions in an instant.

He shifted his gaze away, looking at Selena, who was happily munching on her chicken wing, blissfully unaware of Gavin's feelings.

But that was fine-Selena was already his, and he had no intention of giving anyone the chance to take her away.

"Taste good?" Aaron asked.

Selena nodded eagerly. "Delicious! Did you grill this?"

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "I've been working the grill for ages, and you didn't even notice? Seems like your attention wasn't on me at all."

Selena laughed cheekily. "What can I say? Too many handsome guys around-I can't keep track."

Seeing Aaron's face darken, she quickly added with a grin, "I want some grilled fish, honey."

That one word, "honey," instantly lit up Aaron's mood.

With a smile, he turned to start grilling some fish for her.

Aveline watched the entire exchange, a quiet smile tugging at her lips.

After the meal, everyone started to relax and have fun. Maria pulled out her streaming setup and, to Aveline's surprise, began singing live.

Curious, Aveline glanced at her phone and noticed tens of thousands of people had joined Maria's stream.

"That many viewers? Are you a streamer?" Aveline asked, surprised.

Maria smiled modestly. "Just a hobby."

She then turned to the camera, her smile growing even more charming. "What songs do you want to hear, my darlings? I can sing a few more today." Aveline quietly edged a bit farther away, feeling a wave of goosebumps rise on her skin.

The afternoon sun was warm, and a gentle breeze blew through the air, making Aveline feel drowsy. She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and drifted off. Selena covered her with a blanket, and the noise around her softened as everyone let her rest.

After some time, Aveline woke up, but something felt off. It was too quiet.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

What's going on?

She looked around and only saw Baron and Braden cleaning up nearby.

"Where did everyone go?" she asked, confused.

"They went to watch the sunset," Baron called out, pointing in a direction. "It's really beautiful over there."

Aveline glanced toward the direction Baron had pointed, but the tall trees blocked most of her view.

She couldn't see anything.

Did they go that far?

Curious, she stood up, slipped on a jacket, and started walking in the direction of the sunset.

As soon as she moved away, Baron subtly pressed the button on his earpiece and whispered, "She's on her way. Get ready!" "Selena? Lucas?" Aveline called out as she walked, her voice echoing through the trees.

There was a small path through the dense woods, and as dusk settled in, the surrounding area grew dimmer Only a few slivers of golden light from the setting sun filtered through the leaves, casting an orange glow over the path.

An unexpected feeling of unease crept over her, making her quicken her pace.

But then, as she rounded a corner, the scenery suddenly opened up before her, and her breath caught.

The grass was covered in soft pink rose petals, leading the way down a glowing path. At the end of the path stood a crescent-shaped arch, constructed entirely from pink rose petals Illuminated under the fading light. And beside it, a tall, striking figure stood, holding a bouquet of vibrant red roses, a warm smile lighting up his face.

It was Lucas.

In the distance, scattered around the clearing, were her friends and family, holding glowing lanterns and waving them gently, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Aveline stood at the beginning of the path, a wide smile slowly spreading across her face as the realization sank in. Everything was planned for this moment.

Everyone she loved was here, and deep down, she had felt it coming, but she hadn't dared to let herself fully believe it. Now, there was no denying it-it was all real.

With a heart full of happiness, Aveline began walking down the rose-covered path, step by step, toward Lucas.
