After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1006

Aaron stood tall, his figure straight and imposing. The black suit he wore gave him a formal and serious demeanor, far removed from his usual laid-back image.

Yet, his eyes were cold and emotionless, void of any warmth.

"It doesn’t mean anything. I just find it amusing that your adopted daughter holds more value to you than your own son. If you were going to favor her so much, why even bother having me?"

"You!"

Nathalie’s face turned pale with anger, her hand raised to slap him. But as someone approached, she suppressed the urge.

"Aaron, she’s your sister. You grew up together. Are you really going to stir up trouble with us over an outsider?"

Her voice was lower, trying to contain her emotions, maintaining the composure of a dignified lady.

Aaron responded calmly, "Selena is my wife now. She’s not an outsider."

Nathalie’s expression remained displeased, filled with disdain for Selena.

Aaron continued, "She’s beautiful, independent, and respectful to both of you. I don’t understand why you dislike her so much. Is it just because she doesn’t have a background? If that’s the case, I’ll give her one. Will that be enough for you to accept her?"

"You!"

Nathalie was so taken aback that she couldn’t find the words to respond.

Kendrick frowned and said, "Aaron, is that any way to speak to your mother?"

Aaron smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "Dad, when I try to reason with you, you bring up emotions. When I talk about emotions, you throw logic at me. What’s the game here? Are you just messing with me?"

Kendrick’s face darkened. "That doesn’t give you the right to speak to your mother like that!"

Aaron shrugged. "Fine, then I won’t say anything more. But don’t come looking for me either. As for Fletcher Enterprises... I won’t be letting go."

With that, he turned and descended the steps.

Nathalie watched his back, her anger mixed with a deep sense of sorrow.

"How did he turn out like this?" she muttered, both furious and heartbroken.
