After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 968

Sidney spun the bottle, and it landed squarely on Maria.

Uh-oh…

Selena and Aveline exchanged amused glances, both with knowing smiles, anticipating what was to come.

Maria, however, remained calm, her expression unfazed.

"Dare," she said coolly.

Sidney casually took the notepad, flipping through it until he found a task. With a smirk, he read aloud, "Share a glass of wine with one of the men here, arm-in-arm."

Selena immediately wrapped her arm around Aaron.

"Tonight's our wedding night—he’s only sharing a drink with me!" she declared with a playful grin.

Aveline chimed in, "Lucas isn’t drinking tonight."

Gernard, sensing something off in the atmosphere, added, "I’m allergic to alcohol."

Gavin stayed silent, his aloof demeanor enough to keep anyone from approaching.

Desmond, ever the joker, raised his hand quickly. "My tolerance is terrible. I'm saving myself for the punishment round. Maria, please show mercy!"

Baron eagerly nodded along, agreeing with him.

Braden hesitated for a moment, glancing over at Maria. "I…"

Baron cut him off, placing a hand on his shoulder. "What do you mean, 'I'? You’re driving us home later, remember?"

Braden fell silent, resigning himself to his fate.

Now, it came down to Lance and Sidney.

Maria’s gaze flickered between the two for a moment before she settled on Lance. "Doctor, would you care to share a drink with me?"

"It would be my pleasure," Lance replied smoothly, picking up his glass without hesitation.

The two shared the drink without any lingering tension—quick and simple, with none of the expected awkwardness. Still, the air seemed to shift as Sidney gripped the notepad tightly, the veins on his hand becoming more prominent.
