Chapter 883
Selena looked into his eyes and fell silent.
Cutting ties?
That was impossible.
The Fletcher family had intricate connections throughout Cloudflare City. Even at the most ordinary gatherings, they could easily cross paths.
The only solution was to keep her distance and remain indifferent. Besides, there was no reason for her and Aaron to fall out over this. "Alright then, if she ever contacts you again, you'll let me know right away," Selena said, deciding not to dwell on the matter any longer. Aaron smirked. "I promise."
He sat beside her and asked, "Ready to head home?"
Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, their first one since they got married, and after that, their wedding ceremony was right around the corner. Selena nodded. "Yeah."
She stood up. "I'll go let Ave know."
Aaron nodded. "Let's go together."
As they walked out, Selena casually asked, "By the way, do you know what Lucas has been up to? It's been a while since anyone's heard from him."
Aaron gave her a knowing look. "I just talked to Aveline about him. She doesn't seem interested in what he's up to."
Selena found it strange but knew Aveline had been indifferent about Lucas lately, so she didn't press further. "Let's drop it, then."
When they went downstairs, Selena told Aveline they were heading back to Cloudflare City.
Aveline smiled, teasing, "You really have no backbone, do you?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow, "Miss Young, I finally managed to calm her down. Don't go stirring things up again."
Aveline ignored him and had her staff prepare some things for Selena to take with her.
Selena graciously accepted everything.
At the door, she hugged Aveline. "Alright, I'll be back in a couple of days. Stay inside, it's cold out."
"Mhm." Aveline nodded, watching them leave.
Turning around, Aveline saw Gavin emerging from upstairs, dressed in a black, form-fitting turtleneck, his
posture tall and commanding
"Brother," Aveline greeted him.
Gavin nodded in response. "They've left?"
"Yeah." Aveline confirmed with a nod.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Who left?" Gernard, appeared from his room, yawning.
"Selena," Aveline replied.
Gernard paused, glancing outside and catching a glimpse of the car tailing away. He clicked his tongue.
"Shedeft the moment hengue.
What a love-struck fool."
The siblings sat down in the living room, chatting idly.
her?
Suddenly, Gernard turned to Gavin and asked, "You didn't even try to stop her?"
Aveline blinked in confusion. "What?"
Gavin, his expression unchanging, replied, "Stop who?"
Gernard chuckled. "Selena, of course. Don't think I haven't noticed-you've got your eye on her."
Aveline immediately looked over at Gavin. "Brother, you...?"
Gavin shot a cool glance at Gernard. "I didn't realize when you became so invested in gossip."
Gernard let out a small laugh. "It's the holidays. With nothing else to do, anything entertaining catches my attention."
Aveline hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is it... true?"
Gernard nodded. "Absolutely. You
haven't spent as much time with us yet, but you figure it out soon enough. Gavin's the type who plays it cool. When he likes someone, he doesn't make the first move. He just watches from a distance, waiting like a hunter for the right moment. But this time, he miscalculated. Selena's married."
