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

Chapter 957

The cold tension in the air began to spread, but Selena acted as if she didn't notice a thing.

"You should head home," she said casually. "I'm about to go to bed myself."

"Move," Lucas said suddenly, his voice low and commanding.

Selena let out a mocking laugh. "And who do you think you are? You tell me to move, and I'm supposed to just step aside?"

Lucas' expression darkened, his gaze cold as it locked onto her. But Selena wasn't intimidated in the slightest in fact, she boldly stared right back at him.

Lucas stayed quiet, his frustration evident. This was the kind of boldness that only family could get away with, pushing boundaries just because they could. Exhaling a heavy breath, he said, "I just want to see her for a moment. After that, I'll leave."

"Nope," Selena replied briskly, shutting the door in his face without hesitation.

Lucas closed his eyes for a brief moment, and when he reopened them, they were filled with icy resolve. Yet after standing there for a few seconds, he sighed in defeat and turned away. What was he going to do-break in and drag her out?

Besides, the wedding was just around the corner, and Aaron wasn't going to show up unannounced at a time like this. Even if he wanted to, the Fletcher family would never allow it. Lucas pulled out his phone and sent a message.

"Let's go for a drink."
