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

Selena rolled up her sleeves, declaring, "We can never tell who's the real winner until the game ends. Let's go!" Just a moment ago, she was full of confidence, but the next second, she was staring in disbelief at her loss. "Seriously, Sidney? How many times have you won already? Are you done yet?"

Watching Sidney win another round, Selena looked utterly defeated.

Maria couldn't hold back her laughter. "I told you, beginner's luck! You didn't believe me."

Sidney blinked innocently, saying, "I just picked up the cards. What else could I do?"

Selena groaned. "Alright, enough with the humblebragging. I give up, okay?"

At this point, Aaron said, "It's a bit early to surrender."

Selena immediately turned to him. "You think you can turn this around?"

A relaxed smile appeared on Aaron's handsome face as he said, "Beginner's luck has a time limit. Let's keep playing."

Maria looked at Sidney. "Are you up for it?"

Sidney chuckled and replied, "Sure, let's keep going for fun."

Selena reignited her fighting spirit, "Alright, let's see how long this beginner's luck of yours can last!"

After three more rounds, Sidney finally lost.

"Wow!" Selena beamed at Aaron. "You're amazing, dear!"

Aaron smiled slightly. "His lucky streak is over. Now it's your turn to win."

Maria chuckled softly. "A little early for compliments, don't you think? I'm still in the game."

Selena grinned. "Well then, let's see who's the real winner!"

They played a few more rounds, and it seemed Sidney's beginner's luck had truly run its course. Wins started alternating between Selena and Aaron, while Maria and Sidney found themselves losing badly by the end.

When they checked the time, it was already eleven.

Maria raised her hand in surrender. "I'm done. No more."

Selena laughed mischievously, "How about I treat you guys to some late-night barbecue?"

Maria shook her head. "No, you guys go ahead. It's late, and we need to head home."

Selena was surprised. "Heading home already?"

Maria leaned in close to Selena's ear and whispered, "We're trying for a baby, so we need to go to bed early. Maybe we can even catch up with Aveline and Mr. Tudor and have a baby after Aveline gives birth. Both children can have an arrange marriage." "What?!"

Upon hearing that, Selena wasn't about to be outdone. She quickly grabbed Aaron's arm and said, "Let's head home early too! Getting to bed early is good for the health!"

Aaron looked at her. "No late-night barbecue?"

"Forget it! No more!" Selena shook her head vigorously.

She wanted her baby to have an arrange marriage with Aveline's.

She needed to hurry up!

No way was she going to let Maria beat her to it! She and Aveline were going to be family!

Aaron said, "But I'm hungry."

Selena gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "We'll go home and sleep. You won't feel hungry once you're asleep!"

Aaron was speechless.

He glanced at Maria. "What did you tell her?"

Maria smiled knowingly. "She'll tell you herself."

"Come on, let's go!" Selena quickly dragged Aaron away.

Once they were in the car, Aaron stopped her and asked, "Alright, tell me. Why the sudden urge to go to bed early? What did she say?"

Selena's expression turned serious. "She said they're trying for a baby, and Maria wants her baby to have an arrange marriage with Ave's! That's not happening! Our baby is going to have an arrange marriage with Ave's! So, no late-night snacks. We're going home to do something meaningful and try to get pregnant as soon as possible!"
