Aveline held Joy in one arm and looked at Selena, asking, "What are you doing?"

Selena replied, "Do you know what I just saw?"

Aveline shook her head. "No idea."

"Hickeys!"

Selena pointed exaggeratedly to a spot on her neck, saying, "Right here. And I don't think it's just one spot. There's probably a lot more below. Tsk tsk!"

She clicked her tongue twice, shaking her head as she added, "Who would've thought Mr. Cooper could be so... ravenous."

Aveline was amused and said, "Well, it makes sense. After all, he's already thirty, never had a girlfriend, and now that he finally does, of course, he'd go all out to spoil her."

"Go all out to spoil her..." Selena drew out the words, mimicking her tone as she leaned in closer. "Ave, you've really been corrupted by Lucas, that scoundrel. You never used to talk like this." Aveline responded matter-of-factly, "I'm the mother of two now. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Selena made a playful, teasing expression.

Aveline grabbed a peach and stuffed it into Selena's mouth. "Stop talking about me. What about you? Are you planning to go back to Cloudflare City with Aaron?"

Aaron had come to celebrate Selena's birthday, but he'd have to return soon to oversee operations in Cloudflare City. The Fletcher Group relied heavily on him, leaving him no time to travel back and forth. Selena took a bite of the peach and replied, "I'm still thinking about it."
