After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Selena, clearly annoyed, snapped, "What do you mean by that? Why wouldn't I have leads? I'm not telling you anything! Just tell me where Lucas is-I need to talk to him in person!"

Aaron chuckled, clearly amused, as if he could picture Selena's frustration even through the phone. The thought seemed to entertain him, but he didn't keep her waiting. "Alright, alright. I'll call him now."

"Good, hurry up." Selena hung up and turned to Aveline, giving her a playful wink. "We've been going crazy trying to find you these past couple of days. Even Desmond filed a police report. But once you see Lucas, you can clear everything up." Aveline nodded. "I know."

She was still unsure whether to tell Lucas about the pregnancy.

They were already divorced, and in her mind, this child was hers alone.

But Lucas had said he would try to win her back, that he'd respect her choices.

He had changed, or maybe he had just returned to the person she once knew the Lucas she had fallen in love with.

Perhaps meeting him first would help her decide. Once they met, she'd figure out what to say.

...

Meanwhile, Aaron called Lucas directly.

"Hey, Lucas, where are you?" he asked, hearing a wave of loud background noise on the other end of the line.

"Hello?" Lucas' voice came through, but it was faint and unclear.

Aaron paused, confused. "What's going on? Where are you?"

The music and noise were too loud, making it impossible to have a proper conversation, so Aaron hung up and called Desmond instead. "Hey, Desmond, where's Lucas right now?"

Desmond replied, "Mr. Tudor is at Meet Bar."

Aaron blinked in surprise. "Why's he at a bar?"

Desmond sighed, clearly frustrated, and briefly explained everything that had been going on with Lucas recently.

Aaron laughed after hearing the

frustration. Alright, I got it,"

He hung up the phone and immediately sent the location to Selena. Maybe the "lead" she mentioned was exactly what Lucas needed right now.

On the other side, Selena quickly shared the information with Aveline.

"Ave, Lucas is at Meet Bar. Let's head over now," Selena suggested.

Aveline nodded. "Let me grab a jacket."

While Aveline went to get her coat, Selena put on hers and turned to Leo. "What about you? Where are you headed next?"

Leo replied, "I'll head home. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Selena waved him off. "We'll drive you. Where do you live?"

Leo shook his head. "There's no need. You both have something important to handle."

But Selena insisted, waving dismissively. "It won't take long to drop you off. You helped Ave, so

you're one of us now. Don't need for

all this formality."

Aveline chimed in, "Yeah, we'll give you a ride. Your car's broken down, and it's too cold for the bus this late."

Seeing they wouldn't take no for an answer, Leo finally gave them his address.

Selena checked the navigation and smiled. "Perfect! It's on the way to Meet Bar. Let's go."

With that, they set off, first dropping Leo home and then heading toward Meet Bar.

By the time they arrived, it was already past 8 PM.

The bar was filling up, the flashing lights casting colorful hues over the crowd, and the booming music

thumped through the walls, making the whole place vibrate with energy.
