After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 954

Aaron's eyes darkened even more at her words, a dangerous glint flickering.

"You want kids?" he asked quietly.

Selena blinked her large eyes innocently. "Don’t you? Aveline's having two at once! She’s amazing. We could just take one, right?"

Suddenly, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, and she gasped, instinctively straightening her back. "Aaron, what are you doing?"

His hand gripped her waist, and though his lips curved in a faint smile, there was a trace of menace in his gaze. "Why would we need someone else’s child? Can’t we have our own?"

It took a moment for Selena to realize something was off with Aaron today.

Hesitantly, she asked, "What’s gotten into you?"

Aaron gave a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing. "I heard you’ve been telling others I’m not… capable."

"I never said that!" Selena shot back immediately. "I know perfectly well that you are. Why would I ever say such a thing?"

But Aaron didn’t seem convinced.

Without warning, he stood up and scooped her into his arms, heading toward the bedroom.

"Selena, it seems I’ve been neglecting you these past few days, and it’s made you unhappy. Let’s fix that. And from now on, there will be no birth control in this house. If you like kids so much, we’ll have our own. As many as you want."

Selena panicked, her voice rising as she begged, "I really didn’t say anything! Aaron, don’t be crazy! Let me explain—one is enough, I swear!"

Her pleas fell on deaf ears.

By the end, her cries had softened into quiet whimpers as Aaron relentlessly exhausted her. In the haze of exhaustion, a sudden thought flashed through her mind.

Damn it!

She’d been tricked by Lucas again!

They were sworn enemies now.

...

The gown was enormous and putting it on was no easy task. Maria helped her, but even with the two of them working together, it still took nearly half an hour to get it right.

When the door finally opened, Aveline looked up, and the sight of Selena in her wedding dress stopped her mid-bite.

She was breathtaking.

Selena looked like an angel who had descended to earth, glowing with an aura of purity and grace. Her elegance and beauty flowed effortlessly, exuding a regal charm that left Aveline speechless.

"You look stunning!" Aveline said, her admiration genuine.

Selena let out a deep breath. "Damn, this waist is a bit tight. Looks like I’ll need to watch my weight for the next couple of days."

Aveline and Maria both paused, speechless.

Whatever image of an angelic glow they had was instantly shattered.

Maria shook her head with a smile. "It's too late to have the designer make changes now, so watching your weight is your only option. I was planning to treat you to a feast tonight, too."
