After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Why not?" Selena asked.

Aveline replied, "Lucas and I have reconciled."

"What?"

Selena raised her voice suddenly as if she had jumped up on the other end. A jumble of noises came through.

"Ave, you're not joking, are you? This isn't funny at all," Selena said, completely flustered. She had been the harshest critic of Lucas, constantly urging them to divorce. Now Aveline was telling her they had reconciled? Their reconciliation made her feel like a fool!

Selena's voice grew more urgent. "Ave, have you forgotten all the hurt you've suffered? Hasn't he hurt you deeply enough? How can you reconcile with him?"

Aveline felt terribly sad. She wanted to blurt out the truth, but Lucas was right - the fewer people who knew the truth, the less risk they faced. If someone were to learn something from Selena, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?

She just wanted to return to a normal life. Running away couldn't solve the problem.

Aveline closed her eyes for a moment and then said, "This incident made me realize I still can't let him go. I want to try reconnecting with him."
