After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)
Chapter 594

Aveline's expression grew serious as she asked, "Selena, don't you have any other thoughts about this?"

Selena took a bite of her chicken wing and replied, "What thoughts? I don't have any. If he wants to marry for business' sake, let him."

Aveline frowned. "But what about the two of you...?"

Selena laughed at that. "Oh, you're worried about that? Don't be. If he really goes through with this marriage, I won't be involved with him anymore. The thing I despise most in this life is being the other woman."

Aveline finally felt relieved. It was a great relief that Selena thought this way. Regardless of what Aaron decided to do, if Selena maintained this attitude, he wouldn't be able to keep her tangled up in his life. Aaron didn't have the leverage over Selena that Lucas did over Aveline.

Seeing Aveline lost in thought, Selena said, "Alright, stop worrying. Those things aren't going to happen."

"Yeah." Aveline nodded, pushing the thoughts aside.

After they finished eating, the two of them took a walk around the neighborhood. As they were heading back, Aveline's phone rang. She answered it with a puzzled expression. "Hello?"

"Hello, Miss Young, there's a gentleman at the gate who wants to see you. He says he's a friend of yours," the security guard informed her.

Aveline asked, "What's his name?"

There was a brief pause before the guard replied, "He says his name is Sidney Troy."

Aveline responded, "Let him in."

Guard replied, "Understood."

"Who is it?" Selena asked curiously.

Aveline replied, "Sidney is here."

"Oh?" Selena's eyes lit up. "Why is he here? It's late. Don't tell me he's here to ask you out on a date?"

Aveline gave her an exasperated look. "Stop jumping to conclusions. He might just need something. Let's go see what he wants."

Selena chuckled. "If it was just something simple, couldn't he have called? Why come over in person? And without even giving you a heads-up? He must be trying to surprise you." Aveline was speechless.

She responded, "With that kind of imagination, it's a shame you're not writing novels."

Selena just grinned.

As they reached the plaza near the entrance, they saw Sidney approaching. A smile spread across his face as soon as he saw Aveline.

"Aveline!"

She asked, "It's pretty late. Is there something you need?"

Sidney scratched his head awkwardly. "Yeah, I do. I was going to call, but I was afraid you might say no, so I decided to come over instead."

Selena's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "So, what's up?"

Aveline also looked at him, puzzled.

Sidney rubbed his nose and cleared his throat. "Well, I wanted to thank you for everything before, and I know I caused you some trouble afterward. So, I was hoping to treat you to dinner. Do you have some time?"

Selena jumped in, "She has plenty of time. In fact, she's got nothing but time right now. So, when's the dinner? Mind if I tag along? Don't worry, I don't eat much—I've got a small appetite." Aveline was speechless.

Sidney smiled shyly. "No problem at all. Aveline, how about tomorrow?"

Selena nodded eagerly. "Perfect, tomorrow it is."

"Selena!" Aveline called out in exasperation.

Selena just shrugged. "What? You two are colleagues, right? It's perfectly normal for colleagues to treat each other to dinner."
