After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Lucas arched a brow slightly, surprised that she had caught up. His pace remained steady, unlike Aveline, who was breathing heavily, her face flushed. His even breathing highlighted the benefits of regular exercise—hiking was hardly a challenge for him.

Aveline ignored his gaze and kept moving forward, occasionally glancing around. The higher they climbed, the more varied the scenery became. She pulled out her phone and started capturing the beautiful views she encountered, sending them directly to Selena.

"I think we should go hiking together sometime."

Selena called right away, her voice laced with surprise, "Sweetheart, is the world upside down? You've never been into outdoor activities, and now you're hiking?"

As Aveline continued upward, she replied, "Yes, I never noticed before, but now I see it. I'll make an effort to get out more."

Selena chuckled softly, “That's good to hear. You really do need to get out more. Otherwise, stress will keep piling up when you just focus on working. Even a machine would break under that kind of pressure.” Aveline laughed at her words, then asked, "Want to come over tonight? I'll cook for you."

"Sounds good to me."

Selena readily agreed.

Aveline planned to discuss Aaron's upcoming engagement with her once she arrived. It was a matter that couldn't be taken lightly.
