Divorced

Chapter 634

Selena was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter at Aaron’s words, taking in his charming yet

mischievous expression.

“Aaron, have you been hanging around Lucas too much? Everything you do seems to be about indulging your twisted pleasures without caring about how others feel. What is it with your circle? Is this some kind of tradition?”

Aaron’s gaze darkened as he pulled her closer. “Selena, are you acting so rebellious because you’re afraid you might fall for me?”

“That’s impossible!” Selena instinctively retorted. “How could I ever like you?”

Aaron’s expression grew more serious, but he continued, “If that’s the case, then what are you afraid of? Why are you running away? The two of us being together is just about enjoying the moment. Our bodies are in sync, our souls match–what more do we need?”

Selena opened her mouth to argue but found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

He wasn’t wrong.

Their physical connection was undeniable, and being with him often brought her a unique pleasure.

Seeing her hesitation, Aaron pressed on, “So, stop overthinking it and just focus on enjoying yourself.”

Selena lowered her gaze and replied, “Even so, it should still be mutual. Right now, I’m reluctant to be with you, and I don’t want to be forced. Can you respect that? If you can’t, then it’s just your enjoyment–I won’t feel anything.”

With a firm tug, she finally freed her hand from his grasp. “So why should I play along with this pointless game?”

Aaron narrowed his eyes. Mutual enjoyment?

How long would he have to wait for that?

Staring at her striking face, Aaron smirked slightly and said, “Selena, is this just an excuse? Are you still planning to leave Cloudflare City, hmm?”

Selena’s lashes fluttered slightly as she responded, “With Ave here, I’m not going anywhere.”

Besides, what did her staying or leaving have to do with him?

But she didn’t dare say that out loud.

She was afraid he’d go crazy and pull something reckless, just like that bastard Lucas.

Aaron stepped closer, his gaze intense as he looked at her. “That’s for the best. I can wait, but my patience isn’t limitless. Selena, you’d better give me an answer soon.”

With that, he walked past her and left without another word.

Selena didn’t watch him leave, but her brows furrowed in thought.

What answer was he expecting?

Pa

It certainly wasn’t a rejection.

What he wanted was her agreement, her willingness to play along with him.

But she didn’t want that.

What a hassle.

In the hospital room, the silence was heavy.

Aveline kept her gaze lowered, fully aware of why Aaron had suddenly shown up.

It had to be Lucas who called him to take Selena away.

How typical of him…

Lucas was as cruel as ever.

It wasn’t enough for him to keep entangling her–now he was dragging Selena into it, making her relationship with Aaron more complicated by the day. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Aveline closed her eyes and slowly turned away, refusing to look at him.

After finishing his emails, Lucas closed his laptop, stood up, and headed straight to the bathroom. Moments later, he returned with a basin of water and a towel. He had rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, then wet the towel, wrung it out, and began gently wiping Aveline’s body.

He started with her face, then moved to her neck, and then her arms…

Aveline frowned and tried to pull away. “I don’t need this.”
