Aveline tightened her grip on the bag, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes as she asked, "How did you know?"

Aaron chuckled and then, with a knowing look, said, "I get it, I totally get it. You're preparing a surprise, right? Fine, I won't ask anymore." Aveline looked completely puzzled.

But after a moment's thought, she realized that they were all part of the same circle, so it wasn't surprising that Aaron knew about Russell's birthday. Aveline didn't respond. She felt indifferent toward Aaron and had nothing to discuss with him.

However, Aaron pulled out his phone and sent a message to Lucas.

"Guess who I just saw in the elevator?"

Lucas replied, "Who?"

Aaron texted, "Your ex-wife!"

Lucas fell silent.

Aaron texted, "Hahaha! But she was holding a bag, probably a birthday gift for you. But how did she know we're having a party here today?"

Lucas asked, "Are you with her?"

Aaron texted, "Yeah, in the elevator."

Lucas replied, "Oh."

Aaron responded, "What do you mean by 'oh'?"
