"I don't want it," Aveline refused flatly.

Lucas popped the candy into his own mouth and remarked, "It's not that good."

Aveline just stared at him and said nothing.

If it wasn't good, he could just not eat it!

His little interruption distracted her, and she didn't look back up at Russell on the stage.

With the emcee guiding the ceremony, Rina appeared, dressed in a flowing wedding gown with a veil that

obscured her face.

When the moment cfor the groom to kiss the bride, Russell lifted the veil and leaned in. Whether he actually

kissed her or not was hard to tell.

Regardless, the room erupted into thunderous applause, filled with congratulations and best wishes.

As the ceremony ended, the toasts began.

Aveline's phone vibrated repeatedly. She leaned over to Lucas and said, "I need to go to the restroom."

Lucas looked at her with concern. "Wantto go with you?"

Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Are you insane?"

Lucas replied, "I'm worried you might get lost or get kidnapped."

Aveline felt a shiver run up her arm and quickly shook off his hand, heading straight for the restroom.

As she entered, she found Selena already there.

"Alright, spill it. What's going on?" Selena demanded, arms crossed, her expression clearly stating that if she

didn't get a reasonable explanation, there would be trouble.

Aveline sighed lightly. "I got tricked by Lucas. He said he wantedto accompany him somewhere, and | had no

idea it was Russell's wedding."

"Tsk tsk, what a sneaky guy!" Selena quickly grasped the situation and gave her honest assessment.

Aveline shrugged. "I'm already here. | can't just turn around and leave, right? I'm here as Mrs. Tudor. If | walked

out now, who knows what kind of headlines we'd see on tomorrow's news."

Selena nodded in agreement. "Just tolerate it for now but make him pay later. If he dared to trick you, there

should be consequences!"

Aveline chuckled, a mix of amusement and frustration. "And what consequences could | possibly impose on

him?"

Selena grinned. "No hugs, no kisses-that's punishment enough, isn't it? Leave him craving!"

Aveline was at a loss for words for a moment.

Selena continued, "Con, let's head back. I'm sure Russell felt

pretty uncomfortable seeing you, and Ducas, that sly fox, is probably thrilled about it."

The two of them chatted as they left the restroom and returned to their seats.

As soon as they sat down, Lucas' gaze landed on Aveline's face. "Mission accomplished?"

Aveline looked at him. "How did you know | went to meet Selena?"

Lucas chuckled softly. "Do | need to guess where your mind goes? Were you two talking behind my back again?"

Aveline, keeping her expression neutral, replied, "So, you know already."

Lucas shrugged. "Well, whenever together, badmouthing

meially a ritual. You'd feel belongs to en.kiki feel

uncomfortable if you didn't.

Aveline remained silent. He certainly had a very clear understanding of his own position. "Then maybe you

should reflect on what went wrong," she suggested.

Lucas replied, "She's just biased against me. | don't think I've done anything wrong."

Perfect. Not an ounce of self-doubt.

Aveline didn't bother responding to him further.

At that moment, a group of people escorted Russell and Rina over to their table.

Everyone at the table lifted their glasses, offering words of congratulations.

Lucas, with a faintly amused smile looked at Russell. "Congratulations, Russell Wishing you and your wife a

lifetof happiness and love."

Rina beamed sweetly. "Thank you, Lucas!"

QUMS

Then Lucas turned to Aveline. "Con, say a few words. After all, you're friends."

Aveline froze.

This damn man! 2
