After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline felt a bit surprised. Ever since she had last seen him at the breakfast shop, he hadn't shown up again. His sudden appearance today was indeed unexpected. After all, she had made things quite clear before. She smiled slightly and nodded. "Sure, we're almost home anyway. By the way, have you had dinner?"

Russell nodded. "Yeah, I have."

Aveline smiled again. "Then I don't need to cook."

Russell's lips curved into a smile. His delicate, handsome face took on a more mischievous look, his beautiful eyes holding an unreadable emotion as he gazed at her.

Aveline tried not to think too much about it.

The elevator doors opened, and they both entered the apartment.

Selena wasn't home, which puzzled Aveline, but she didn't ask about it.

"What would you like to drink?" she asked, glancing at Russell.

But Russell kept his gaze fixed on her and said, "Aveline, stop fussing around. Just sit down."

Aveline paused, then grabbed two glasses of juice and sat down on the living room sofa.

As twilight slowly enveloped the world outside, Russell continued to stare at Aveline's face. Suddenly, he said, "I'm getting married."

Aveline froze for a moment. "Congratulations! When's the wedding? I should have enough time to prepare a gift."
