After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 994

Aaron noticed the shift in mood and suddenly reached out to take the box back.

Lila blinked in surprise. "Brother, what are you doing?"

Aaron handed the box back to Selena and said, "I’ve told you before, don’t waste your effort on things like this. Some people might not appreciate it. Wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on something you actually like?"

Selena smiled and replied, "I like diamonds too."

Aaron glanced at her. "But I don’t think this bracelet suits you. Tomorrow, we’ll go pick out something better."

"Sounds good to me," Selena said, smiling playfully.

Who would ever complain about spending more money?

Lila’s face paled slightly, her hands clenching the fabric of her dress.

She pouted, "Brother, are you mad at me?"

Aaron turned to her and said calmly, "No, I’m just teaching your sister-in-law not to spend unnecessarily."

Selena fell silent.

She bit her tongue and tried not to laugh.

He used to be so protective and doting toward her!

The butler quickly stepped in. "Mr. Aaron, Miss Lila, please don’t stand in the doorway. Dinner is ready. Let’s head inside."

Aaron nodded and took Selena’s hand, leading her toward the villa.

Lila followed behind, feeling a swirl of emotions. She was jealous of the attention and affection Aaron now showered on Selena.

Once they were seated at the dinner table, Lila suddenly turned to Selena, her tone innocent. "Selena, which family do you come from?"
