NovelEnglishRussell looked at Aveline. "What do you feel like eating?" Selena chimed in, "We already asked her. She said she was fine with anything. When we asked for specific dishes, she just said she was not picky. Isn't that frustrating?" Russell nodded. "It is quite frustrating." Aveline blinked innocently. "But I really am okay with anything, and I'm not picky at all." Selena gave her a mock glare. "Should I be praising you for that?" Aveline grinned. "You could, yes." Selena rolled her eyes at her without hesitation.
After a moment of contemplation, Russell said, "I'll have something delivered then." Aveline hesitated. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Russell shook his head, "Not at all. The hotel will prepare everything and deliver it. Plus, there won't be any cleanup afterward." "Oh, okay." Aveline nodded in agreement.
At this point, Gernard spoke up, taking the initiative to greet Russell. "Mr. Skyler, I've heard a lot about you." Russell turned to him with a slight smile, "Mr. Cooper, the legendary figure of the Cooper family. I've always wanted to meet you, but the opportunity never arose. Now that I finally do, I must say, the reality surpasses the rumors." Gernard smiled modestly. "You're too kind, Mr. Skyler. I've heard you're recently involved in overseas ventures? I happen to have sexperience in that area. How about we discuss it further?" "Sure," Russell agreed.
The two of them moved to the chairs on the balcony and began discussing business.

If you weren't, you'd probably be at the construction site right now, wouldn't you?" Aveline's expression faltered slightly. "Yes, probably." She would likely be overseeing the construction of Lucas' new house, watching the workers as they went about their tasks.
A sudden wave of confusion washed over her.
Lucas once said that the house was meant for his new bribe.
But now, he was adamant that he would never agree to a divorce.
Then what was he planning to do with that house? Just as Aveline was lost in thought, the doorbell rang again.
Selena frowned. "What's going on? How many people know you're getting discharged today?" Aveline shook her head in confusion. "I didn't tell anyone." She couldn't figure out how Russell knew since she hadn't told him either.
The caregiver had already gone to open the door.
The moment Selena saw who it was, her expression instantly turned cold. She didn't spare him a glance and sat beside Aveline, playing with her phone.
Lucas walked in, tall and imposing, his handsface carrying an air of cold detachment.
set "Why didn't you tellyou were getting discharged?" he asked as he approached Aveline, his gaze fixed on her. o Aveline replied, "Even though I didn't tell you, you found out, didn't you?" Lucas scrutinized her leg. "Are you sure you're fit to be discharged?" Aveline answered, "The doctor said I could." Selena, from the side, interjected, "Why are you even talking to him?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAveline was momentarily silent before she spoke, "Lucas, it's noth appropriate for you to be at my place." Lucas sat down on the single sofa, unfazed. "What's inappropriate? Are we divorced?" "You..." Seeing him pull out his usual shameless attitude, Aveline was at a loss for words.
"How annoying!" Selena said bluntly.
Lucas stared intently at Aveline and suddenly said, "Why don't you drop lawsuit? You won't win." His gaze was heavy, settling on Aveline with a subtle sense of pressure.
At that moment, Russell's voice cut
through the tension, "The court hasn't even convened yet-everything is still up in the air, Lucas, are you trying to persuade her because you're afraid of losing?" Want A Sugar Momma? Sexy Funny Outgoing Rich Women In Your Area Looking To Date Start Free Now
