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?"
