Chapter 953
Aveline blinked in surprise. "What?"
Before Selena could say anything else, she felt a chill in the air beside her. Her excitement faded slightly as she glanced at the man next to her, his face cold.
She huffed softly and linked arms with Aveline, starting to walk away. "Just give me one of them. I don't want to go through pregnancy."
Lucas's voice came from behind, cold and mocking. "Is it that you don't want to, or that Aaron can't?"
Selena spun around, glaring at Lucas. "Shut up! No one here wants to hear you speak! I'm her best friend, and if you keep annoying me, I'll make sure Aveline dumps you and have your son call you 'uncle'!" Lucas's handsome face darkened immediately.
Aveline, watching from the side, sighed helplessly. These two always seemed to be at each other's throats, and once they started, there was no stopping them.
"I'm a little tired. Let's go back," Aveline said.
"Alright, let's go. Come to my place," Selena quickly replied.
"We're heading home," Lucas said, his tone icy. "Do you want us to go to your place and watch you and Aaron argue about not being able to have kids?"
"You-!" Selena started.
Aveline turned to Lucas, her gaze soft but firm. "Lucas."
Her delicate face didn't hold much of a threat, but her glance was enough to stop him from saying anything further.
Turning back to Selena, Aveline said gently, "I'm going back to Maple Garden. I'm more used to staying there."
"That works," Selena said with a grin. "I live just downstairs from you, so it's basically the same as coming to my place."
Aaron had a property at Maple Garden too, right below Lucas's. Selena had eventually moved in there, figuring it'd be convenient when Aveline came back-they'd be just a floor apart, able to see each other whenever they wanted. Aveline nodded. "Alright."
Lucas gave Selena a dark look before pulling out his phone and opening WhatsApp. He quickly sent a message to Aaron.
"Your wife is trying to steal my daughter," Lucas wrote.
Aaron replied, "I'm all for it! Great idea!"
"She says you're not capable. That's why she can't be a mother," Lucas texted back.
Aaron hesitated before responding, "She actually said that?"
Lucas sent another message, "I have no reason to lie to you."
He quickly added, "Buddy, you need to prove yourself. Letting a woman say you're not capable is humiliating."
Aaron's only reply was a long pause, "..."
...
At Maple Garden, Aveline had been more tired than usual lately. As soon as she returned home, she

bedroom for a nap.
Selena had no choice but to head back to her own place.
With only three days left until the wedding, she found herself with a bit of free time. However, Aaron had been swamped with all the Fletcher family matters, and only came home late in the evenings. But today, to her surprise, he came home much earlier than usual.
When Selena walked in and saw him sitting on the sofa, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You're home so early today. Did you finish everything already?"
Aaron's gaze was dark as he stared at her intensely. "Come here." "What's wrong?" she asked, walking over and sitting in his lap naturally.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
But Aaron's expression remained cold, and unlike before, his arms didn't embrace her. Instead, he looked at her with a dangerous gleam in his eyes. Selena, always carefree and oblivious, hadn't yet sensed the tension building.
"Did you have fun seeing Aveline today?" Aaron asked, his voice low.
"Of course!" Selena's eyes lit up. "You should've seen her her belly is huge! She's having twins! Hehe, I even joked about stealing one of them!"
