After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas had already made his way back to Aveline's side, taking her hand with a playful smile. "Ave, do you feel like you need my company? Do you want me by your side all the time?" Aveline, who had witnessed the whole exchange, simply stared at him, speechless.

Aaron approached with a look of disdain. "Lucas, have you no shame? You'll say anything to avoid grilling. Aren't you afraid your son will grow up and laugh at you?" Without missing a beat, Lucas replied, "My daughter wouldn't laugh at me."

Aaron was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't even confirmed the baby's gender, and yet Lucas was already claiming it was a girl.

"Your daughter, huh? You sure about that?" Aaron scoffed. "Do you even deserve one?"

Lucas remained unfazed. "Of course I do. I make all this money just for my daughter to spend, so it has to be a girl."

At that moment, Aveline chimed in, her voice soft but teasing, "Well, I think your daughter would love to taste the barbecue her dad grills himself."
