Divorced

Chapter 633

Selena snapped, “Lucas, can you leave? Can’t you see no one here wants you around?”

But Lucas ignored her, sitting on the sofa with his laptop. He wore a crisp white shirt, the top button undone, with no tie. His sharp, handsome face remained cold, his brows stern and intense. His long lashes cast shadows over his eyes, hiding the icy chill within them. His fingers tapped away at the keyboard with unwavering focus.

Selena rolled her eyes, then turned to Aveline, handing her a glass of water. “He’s absolutely shameless.”

Aveline said quietly, “You should go home. The nurse can take care of me.”

Selena shook her head. “No way, I’m staying here with you.”

After a week, Aveline’s condition had improved considerably, though she still needed to be cautious and limit her movements. Healing bones took time, and she had a long road to recovery.

Just then, the door opened, and Aaron walked in.

“You look a lot better today than you did yesterday,” Aaron remarked as he approached. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Aveline’s expression remained neutral. “What brings you here, Mr. Fletcher?”

Aaron nodded and pointed to Selena. “I’m here to see her.”

Selena frowned. “There’s nothing to discuss between us.”

Aaron raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure about that? Do I need to spell it out?”

Selena hesitated, then glanced at Aveline. “I’ll step out for a bit, Ave. I’ll be right back.”

Aveline nodded. “Alright.”

Aaron added, “Take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let him know.” He nodded toward Lucas before turning and leaving the room.

Once outside, Selena asked, “What do you want with me?”

Aaron, seeing the frustration on her face, reached out and grabbed her chin. “Can’t I look for you without a reason?”

Selena pushed his hand away. “Aaron, are you bored? I’ve already made myself clear–I don’t want to be part of some love triangle. If you’re set on getting engaged and forming an alliance through marriage, then stop messing with me. It’s not fair to any of us.”

Aaron responded, “Why can’t I look for you just because I’m getting engaged or forming an alliance through marriage?”

Selena shot back, “Do you really need to ask? I don’t want to be the other woman!”

Aaron retorted, “But I’m not engaged yet, and I don’t have a girlfriend, so you’re not the other woman.”

“You!”

Selena was momentarily speechless, but after a pause, she finally said, “I still don’t want to be involved

with you.”

“Why not?”

Aaron looked at her, stubbornly demanding an answer.

“Why else? Because I don’t like you!” Selena replied.

Aaron froze, taken aback. “What? What did you just say?”

Selena rolled her eyes. “If your hearing’s bad, go get it checked. We’re in a hospital, after all.”

With that, she turned to leave.

But Aaron blocked her path, his expression darkening. “You don’t like me? Then why did you take a bullet

for me?”

“That was just an accident! Who would want to take a bullet for you? I want to live a long life, thank you very much!” Selena shot back.

Aaron held her tightly, his eyes searching her face as if trying to find any sign that she was lying

But there was nothing.

She was telling the truth.

She really didn’t like him.

She really… didn’t like him.

At that moment, Aaron felt a crushing sense of defeat, and frustration boiling up inside him.

Selena frowned. “You’re hurting me. Let go!”

Aaron glanced down at her hand, then suddenly said, “It doesn’t matter because I’m not after your affection anyway.”
