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

The faint scent of alcohol lingered in the air.

The private room fell silent for a moment-not only there but even the room next door grew quiet. The lack of soundproofing made Selena's loud voice impossible to ignore.

Aaron and Lance both glanced at Lucas, their expressions unreadable. Lucas' striking face remained calm, betraying no emotion, though his fingers tightened subtly around his glass. After a long pause, a soft, clear voice came through from the other side, "No, I won't."

Lucas raised his glass and downed the drink in one go.

Selena let out a chuckle. "That's the spirit! Why jump into a pit of fire over and over again? Unless you want to be burned to ashes with nothing left."

Aveline's smile was faint, her tone calm. "You're drunk. Let's go."

Selena cupped her face with a playful grin, "Alright, but I'm sleeping over with you tonight."

Aveline stood up and helped her to her feet, and they left the private room together.

At the same time, the door next door slid open, and a man of distinguished presence stepped out.

Selena glanced over suspiciously and immediately spotted Aaron. She grinned and called out, "Hey... come over here and hold me!" Aveline was speechless.

Aaron walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Can't you behave for once?"
