After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 965

Sidney, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, approached Maria, his gaze lingering on her, soaking in every detail.

Over the past few months, her life had been nothing short of adventurous.

She had traveled to the far north to witness breathtaking auroras, posed with penguins in a remote southern continent, ventured deep into the wilds of an African savannah to observe a massive wildlife migration, and even scaled one of the world's tallest peaks on her own.

It was as though she had embraced her true self, living life to the fullest. Every time she posted on social media, you could feel the sense of freedom radiating from her. And now, after such a long time, he was finally seeing her again.

Today, she looked elegant in a classic white gown, dignified and graceful, holding a wine bottle in her hands, smiling at him.

"I..."

Sidney began, wanting to say something, but the toasting ceremony was about to start, leaving no room for them to talk.

He leaned in closer, speaking quietly as he moved beside her. "Don’t leave later, okay?"

Maria said nothing, focusing on pouring the wine into the glasses. Together, they moved from table to table, with Maria pouring and Sidney holding the tray. By the time they finished, forty minutes had passed.

At the head table, seats were reserved for Aaron and Selena.

Joining them were Aaron’s parents, Lucas and Aveline, and Lance—filling the table perfectly.

Selena, now in her formal toasting dress, sat down and let out a small sigh of relief. "Finally, I can sit down and eat something."

Aaron’s mother, sitting nearby, placed some food on her plate. "You’re looking too thin lately. Have you not been eating properly to stay in shape?"

Surprised by the gesture, Selena smiled. "Thank you, Mom. I’ll make sure to eat more."

Catching Aveline’s eye, Selena quickly realized the change in Aaron's mother’s attitude—it was because of Aveline and the Cooper family. Before this, Aaron’s mother would never have even acknowledged her, let alone serve her food.
