After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Selena looked at Gernard, her face scrunching up playfully. "Gernard, what's that supposed to mean? Are you saying you don't want an adorable, lively, beautiful sister like me?" She cupped her face with both hands, batting her eyes dramatically. Gernard gave a faint smile. "I don't mind, but someone else might."

"Huh?" Selena blinked, her eyes shifting toward Aveline.

Aveline shrugged, clearly staying out of it. That left only one person-Gavin.

Pouting slightly, Selena made up her mind. She would need to have a little chat with Gavin. Why wouldn't he want her in the family?

Wilfried and Gavin finally emerged from the study almost two hours later.

Waiting for them at the foot of the stairs, arms crossed, was Selena.

"Mr. Wilfried, it's getting late. You should head to bed," Selena said with a polite smile as she looked at Wilfried.

Wilfried chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Good idea. You all should get some rest too."

With that, he headed to his room, leaving Selena to focus her attention on Gavin.
