“Alright.” Aveline nodded, watching as Zachary got into his car and drove away.Selena, standing beside her, couldn’t help but comment, “You know, he’s a nice guy. Why don’t you consider him?”Aveline looked at her with exasperation. “I’m not considering anyone. How about I consider you instead?””What? Really? You’d actually consider me? You finally noticed me? Oh, I’m so moved!” Selena, ever the drama queen, put on a show of mock surprise, her eyes welling up dramatically. Aveline’s mouth twitched, and she quickly opened the car door and got in.Selena immediately followed. “Hey, wait for me! Were you serious just now? Are you really considering me, Aveline, my beauty? Say something!”Aveline was speechless.That was a mistake.Back home, Aveline took a shower and lay down on her bed, feeling unusually excited about going with Lucas to get a divorce the next day.She had been waiting for this day for so long, and now that it was about to happen, it felt almost unreal.She tossed and turned in bed for hours before she finally managed to fall asleep in the early morning hours. But her sleep was restless; she spent the whole night having nightmares. When she woke up the next day, there were noticeable dark circles under her eyes. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that getting a divorce deserved a bit of ceremony, so she decided to put on some makeup.The makeup accentuated her features even more, and Aveline chose a long dress, layering it with a cashmere coat, and picked out her favorite perfume.As she came out of her bedroom, she saw Selena sitting in the living room. Selena blinked in surprise when she saw her. “Wait, are you going on a date?”Aveline twirled around in front of her. “What do you think? Do I look pretty today?”Selena stood up. “So, you really are going on a date? With who?”Aveline gave a mysterious smile. “I told you, it’s a secret. I’ll tell you once it’s done.” Selena immediately felt a surge of curiosity. What on earth was going on?But seeing the look on Aveline’s face, it was clear she wasn’t going to say anything. Defeated, Selena grabbed a piece of bread andstarted munching on it, puffing out her cheeks in frustration. Aveline left the house and arranged for the courier to come pick up the items, then headed out to the lawyer’s office.However, the traffic that day was terrible. She’d been stuck on the road for nearly an hour, barely moving.All around her, drivers were honking their horns in frustration, adding to the growing anxiety in her heart.
