After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 791

Aveline glanced over at Selena and asked, "Did you stay up all night?"

Selena looked like a ghost as she wandered down from the balcony, still in her pajamas, with dark circles under her eyes.

“Yeah,” Selena muttered, her voice thick with exhaustion. "Couldn't sleep."

Aveline set a plate of breakfast on the table and gestured for her to sit. "Come on, eat something. We can talk after."

Selena nodded and sat down, but her mind seemed elsewhere, her gaze unfocused as if she were still lost in her thoughts.

Aveline sighed softly, knowing the weight of the decision that lay ahead for her friend. "Let's figure this out after you’ve had something to eat and maybe some coffee."

Selena gave a weak smile. "Yeah, maybe coffee will help."

They both knew there were no easy answers, but for now, breakfast was as good a start as any.

"You haven't slept all night?" Aveline asked, surprised.

Selena nodded and moved closer, wrapping her arms around Aveline.

The chill from her skin seeped through, and her voice sounded muffled as she spoke. "I thought it over all night. I really do like Aaron, but it feels like his feelings for me are more about interest than love. Maybe one day, if he finds someone more interesting, he’ll just like her instead."

Aveline gently patted her head and asked, "So, what are you thinking?"

Selena shook her head, her expression clouded with uncertainty. "I don't know."

"Exactly," Aveline agreed. "So, you can choose to leave. You’ve got three months—maybe it’ll be enough to prove something, or at least help you let go."

Selena was quiet for a long moment before finally nodding. "Alright, I get it. I'm hungry."

Aveline offered, "I'm making pasta. Want some?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

…

Later that day, Aveline interviewed a few candidates who seemed promising. She noted them down and sent their details over to Maria, wanting to see what she thought.
