Selena turned her head and immediately saw Aaron.
She looked back at Aveline with a blank expression. "Suddenly, I'm not that interested in barbecue anymore. What about you?"
Aveline chuckled at her comment.
Aaron, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow slightly and walked over, pinching Selena's cheek to make her look up. "What's that supposed to mean? You don't want to see me?" Selena slapped his hand away. "Do you really need me to spell it out for you?"
Aaron's eyes narrowed dangerously. "No, but why don't you explain it to me in detail?"
Selena scoffed. "Don't bother us while we're eating. Go away, you annoying man!"
Aaron's lips curved into a smile. He leaned down close to her ear and whispered, "Wait for me tonight."
With that, he straightened up and returned to his table.
Aveline pretended not to notice anything.
Lance then chimed in, "From a professional perspective, it seems the lady clearly doesn't want to see you."
Selena shot him a look. "Oh, really? Are you a psychologist or something?"
Lance nodded. "Yes, I am."
Selena immediately covered her face. "Does that mean you can tell exactly what I'm thinking?"
Lance remained expressionless, his tone calm, "I'm not a psychic, just a doctor."
Selena breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew, you scared me. For a second, I thought I'd have no secrets in front of you."
Lance, enjoying the banter, looked at Aaron and said, "She has secrets about you."
Selena rolled her eyes. "Seriously, did I do something to offend you?"
Lance glanced at her. "Do I even know you?"
Selena's mouth twitched. What's wrong with this guy's head?
Aaron chimed in, "If you don't know her, why do you keep staring at her?"
Lance replied matter-of-factly, "Appreciating beauty is a human instinct." Selena immediately burst into laughter, "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Selena Quin." Lance politely extended his hand, "Lance Summer."
Selena took out her phone, "Dr. Lance, would you mind adding me on WhatsApp? Just in case I have any psychological issues in the future, can I reach out to you directly?"

When Aaron's net
Lance replied calmly, "She's just looking for convenience, why not?"
"That's enough." Aaron's gaze turned dangerous as he looked at Lance.
Lance's expression remained mostly neutral, but there was a hint of something deeper as he said, "Looks like you're getting a bit too involved."

Selena blinked her big eyes. "What? What are you talking about?"
Aaron pushed her face back toward her food. "Eat your barbecue."
He then shot Lance a warning glance, clearly telling him to stay silent. Lance smiled subtly but said nothing more.
Aveline watched their lively exchange, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugging at her lips.
At that moment, she felt a deep, affectionate gaze fall upon her. She didn't need to look to know it was Lucas.
The server approached, asking if they had finished ordering.
Aveline replied, "We've already ordered."
The server smiled and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
Selena chimed in, "Beer, please. Cold!"
Lucas interjected, "She can't have anything cold."
Selena glanced at him, then stretched her words playfully, "Oh... I see."
Aveline's eyelid twitched. "Juice is fine, thank you."
