After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Though the letters were a bit crooked, Aaron had succeeded. He placed the bread on the table, glanced at Gavin, and seeing no reaction from him, didn't dwell on it. His focus was clear-he needed to get to his bride. With the bouquet in hand, Aaron eagerly pushed open the bedroom door, only to find Aveline, her belly prominently showing, standing at the door with the wedding shoes in her hand, clearly blocking the way. She blinked and gave him a warm smile, extending her hand. "Hand over the cash, and I'll let you through."

Without hesitation, Aaron spun around, grabbed two hefty envelopes from one of his groomsmen, and handed them to Aveline.

Her arms dropped slightly from the weight, nearly fumbling the envelopes. She looked down in surprise. "Wow, that's a lot of money!" she said, noting how stuffed they were likely holding around two thousand dollars each. Aveline hugged the envelopes and shoes tightly, grinning. "Still not enough."

Aaron pulled out two more heavy envelopes and teased, "Aveline, you won't be able to carry these much longer."

She held her ground. "You can set them down, but it's still not enough."

Aaron looked at her, amused, and said, "Alright, name your price."

After a brief pause, Aveline smiled sweetly and said, "I want half of your assets."

The room erupted in laughter and surprise. They thought the earlier challenges were tough, but clearly, this last one was the real challenge! And since the woman holding the shoes was pregnant, no one dared try to take them from her. If Aaron didn't play along, there'd be no bride for him today.
