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

Ruth froze for a moment. "Move into your wedding house? How can I do that? You two should live your own life as a couple. I won't be living with you."

Maria stepped forward, gently taking her hand. "Mom, you have to live with us. We're always so busy, and we end up cutting corners on everything. We need you to keep us in line." Ruth's focus shifted. "Yes, you young people work too hard, not taking care of yourselves properly. That's no good."

Maria smiled. "Exactly, so you need to stay with us and keep an eye on us. Don't worry, the house is big enough you could play soccer inside if you wanted!"

Ruth laughed. "At my age? Playing soccer?"

Sidney chimed in, "Mom, Maria is personally inviting you. If you refuse, you'll be hurting her feelings. Are you not happy with your daughter-in-law?"

Ruth gave Sidney a light smack. "You rascal, what nonsense! I'm very happy with Maria! Don't try to stir up trouble between us."

Maria added, "Yes, don't try to cause trouble. Mom will definitely live with us."

Sidney smiled as he watched the two of them getting along so well.

With that settled, the wedding house had already been cleaned, and by the afternoon, they were driving Ruth over.

Upon seeing the enormous villa, Ruth was completely stunned.

"This... is your wedding house?"

"Yes," Maria nodded. "We'll be living here from now on."

Ruth was so shocked she couldn't speak for a moment.

She had struggled her whole life and had never seen such wealth before. She believed Sidney had the potential, but not yet-his career was still in its early stages! Grabbing Sidney's hand, Ruth's palm felt cold.

Sidney patted her hand, signaling her not to worry.

Just then, Maria's phone rang, and she stepped aside to take the call.

Ruth immediately whispered, "What's going on? How did this wedding house come about?"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Sidney explained, "It's a wedding gift from Maria's boss. Her boss is Aveline's husband."

Ruth's eyes widened in shock. "Miss Young's husband is that wealthy?"

Sidney replied, "It's not just her husband. Aveline herself is also the daughter of the Cooper family. Did you forget?"

"Oh, right, that's true." Ruth nodded, still struggling to wrap her mind around everything. It all felt surreal.

Sidney added, "Mom, don't feel any burden, Just settle in here comfortably. Maria and I will work

hard and one day we'll buy a big house like this ourselves."

Ruth remained silent, her eyes shifting to Maria.

Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears.

"You brat, you better treat Maria well. If you dare mistreat her, you'll have me to answer to!"

Sidney nodded. "Don't worry. I love her too much to ever do that."

"Come on, let's go inside and take a look," Ruth said, gathering herself. Sidney agreed, and they slowly walked into the house together.

Meanwhile, Maria answered a call from Selena.

Selena's voice sounded heavy with sadness. confessed everything and just like you said, it was like a ticking time bomb. Now it's blown up. Aaron hasn't spoken to me in three days."

Maria frowned slightly. "It's better you confessed than having him find out on his own. Try to soothe him a bit. Men are usually soft-hearted. He'll forgive you."

Selena sniffled. "I really brought this on myself."
