After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1021

"Wait a moment," Nathalie called out, stopping them.

Aaron and Selena turned to look at her.

Aaron asked, "What is it?"

Nathalie, clearly annoyed, said, "You’ve barely been here and you're already leaving? You spent most of the time glued to your wife. Did you come to see me or not?"

Aaron replied, "I’m married now. If I spent most of my time glued to you instead, my dad would kill me."

Nathalie was left speechless for a moment before she said, "In three days, I’m hosting a birthday party for Lila. As her brother and sister-in-law, you two must attend. You mustn’t be late, and definitely no leaving early. Got it?"

Selena glanced at Aaron.

Nathalie continued, "Selena, as Lila’s sister-in-law, I expect you to come early and help me receive the guests."

It was a direct request, leaving no room for refusal.

Selena raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded. "Of course, Mom."

Nathalie frowned, somewhat impatient but said nothing more.

Instead, she turned to Aaron. "Did you hear me?"

Aaron gave a brief nod. "Yes, I understand."

With that, he took Selena’s hand and they left.

After they were gone, Nathalie looked at Lila, noticing her downcast expression. "Lila, don’t be sad. It will all be sorted out soon."

Lila's face showed a trace of worry. "Mom, are you sure about this? What if my brother finds out…?"

Nathalie replied, "He won’t find out. And by the time he does, he’ll be divorcing that cheap woman."

Lila bit her lip, looking timid and innocent.

…

"Why the sudden decision to throw a birthday party?" Selena asked as they drove.
