After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Sidney's face showed a hint of helplessness. "My mom's just joking, and you're joining in?"

Aveline raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you younger than me?"

Sidney looked at her seriously. "Only by a year."

Aveline smiled. "Still younger."

Sidney was speechless.

He stopped arguing and thought he would let it go as long as it made her happy.

Ruth watched them with a cheerful smile, though a faint sadness lingered in her eyes. However, with Aveline there, chatting with her for a while, her mood visibly improved.

It wasn't until Ruth grew tired that Aveline stood up to leave.

Outside the hospital room, Sidney looked at her intently. "Aveline, really, thank you."

Aveline gave a reassuring smile. "There's no need for such formality between us. Your mother's health should be your priority right now. Why don't you let Maria know that you don't have to be chained to the studio? You could easily work on your designs here at the hospital too."

Sidney nodded. "Yeah, I'll do that."

He escorted her to the elevator.

"Go on back, I'm leaving now," Aveline said to him.
