After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas' brows furrowed, and he shot Aaron a sharp look.

"Got a lot of free time on your hands, don't you?" he asked coldly.

"Absolutely," Aaron replied without hesitation. "If I weren't free, why would I be hanging around here with you?"

Lucas' expression grew even colder. "If you're that idle, I might as well find something for you to do."

Aaron chuckled and said, "No need for that. I'm quite enjoying my leisure right now. Oh, by the way, you might not know this, but Rina is pregnant and starting to pressure Russell into marriage."

Lucas' lips curved slightly. "When's the wedding? I'll make sure to prepare a generous gift."

"Would you look at that!" Aaron couldn't help but remark. "You're practically gloating now that you know Russell's getting married. He's no longer a threat to you, is he? But don't get too comfortable. Don't forget, Sidney's still hanging around Aveline."

He took another bite of his apple, chewing thoughtfully before adding, "Though, I've got to admit, Sidney's not hard on the eyes. He's got that whole 'good boy' charm going for him - the kind that drives girls wild these days. Who knows? Aveline might just fall for that type." Lucas didn't say a word, but his expression noticeably darkened.

Aaron glanced at him and asked, "You're getting discharged soon. What are you planning to do next?"

Lucas responded coolly, "What do you mean, do?"

"I mean your situation with Aveline," Aaron continued. "You can't keep dragging this out forever. You need a resolution, either a divorce or a proper relationship."
