After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 992

The night was dark, and the ocean lay still. Selena glanced at the sleeping Aaron beside her before carefully slipping out of bed and heading to another room.

Her ankle still hurt, and she moved cautiously.

With one wrong step, she put too much pressure on it, causing her to wince in pain.

Once she closed the door behind her, she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Aveline.

"Are you still awake, babe?" she typed.

Aveline quickly replied, "I’m up. Isn’t it the middle of the night over there? Why aren’t you sleeping?"

"I’m exhausted, but I need to tell you something," Selena wrote back.

Aveline immediately called her.

"Hello?" Selena answered quietly, glancing nervously at the door, afraid that Aaron might suddenly appear.

Aveline, picking up on her cautious tone, spoke softly. "What’s going on?"

Selena couldn’t help but laugh. "You don’t need to whisper. I’ve got that covered."

Aveline laughed, too. "Oh, right. So, what happened? Spill it."

Selena took a deep breath. "I told him everything. He got really mad, stormed out, and didn’t talk to me. For a minute, I thought we’d end up divorced right after getting married."

There was a pause before Aveline spoke again. "That was a pretty sudden decision."

Selena shared how she had talked things over with Maria. "I figured Maria was right. This was something that needed to be dealt with, and I couldn’t keep hiding it. If he found out on his own, it could have been way worse."

"That makes sense. At least you minimized the damage. So, are you two good now?" Aveline asked.

Selena let out a smug laugh but quickly caught herself, clamping a hand over her mouth as she glanced toward the door again. Feeling safe, she whispered, "I’ve got everything under control. If I could handle him back when I was pretending to be Snow, I can do it now, too."

Aveline laughed again. "You little schemer."
