After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 990

Aaron hung up the phone and turned around to see Selena staring at her pale, delicate ankle, tears falling steadily down her face as if she thought she was doomed to be crippled.

Aaron sighed.

He walked over, gently pinching her cheek and lifting her face. "You’ll be fine. Stop crying."

Selena sniffled, her eyes red from crying.

With her bright, expressive eyes now brimming with tears and her reddened nose, she looked utterly pitiful—like someone who had been harshly wronged.

Aaron felt his resolve crumbling in an instant.

All thoughts of staying firm or maintaining his principles disappeared as he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

"Mmph..."

Selena whimpered in surprise, trying to push him away.

But Aaron didn’t prolong the kiss, simply giving her a deep, firm kiss before pulling back.

"No more crying," he ordered gruffly before she could speak.

Selena shrank back slightly. "Aaron, you’re so mean."

Even when he kissed her, he was so rough, as if he wanted to devour her!

The unconscious hint of a pout in her voice was dangerous—it was pure temptation.

Aaron felt a heat rise within him, burning without an outlet.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

He forced down the fire inside and went to open the door.

It was the island’s doctor.

The doctor was tall, with fair skin, blond hair, and striking blue eyes. He had a handsome face and a gaze that held a certain intensity when he looked at someone.

Dressed in a white coat, he exchanged a few words with Aaron before coming over to where Selena was seated.

"Hello, Mrs. Fletcher. You can call me Steve," the doctor said in slightly accented English, extending his hand toward Selena.

Selena shook his hand. "Hello, Dr. Steve."
