After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 128
"Does it matter?" Lucas leaned back, his demeanor exuding a noble and aloof aura. His handsome and sharp features were masked by a calm and indifferent expression, making it impossible to discern his emotions.Selena gritted her teeth, but facing him like this, she couldn't utter a single curse.What a shameless person!Aveline held Selena's hand. "It's okay, it's okay..."It was as if she was comforting both Selena and herself.She looked at Lucas. "If you have a problem, come at me. Don't make things difficult for Selena."After saying that, she turned around and pulled Selena away.Lucas watched her back coldly, his eyes gradually filled with a complex and profound look.Even after they left, the room remained filled with an oppressive atmosphere.Aaron clicked his tongue twice. "I say, kid, aren't you being difficult?"Lucas looked at him. "You think you know everything."Aaron sneered. "Heh... Do you think I didn't notice? Since you walked in, your eyes haven't left her. All you

Aveline looked up at Russell, giving him a slight smile. "I found Selena. We were just about to head back."Russell replied, "Great, I'll give you a ride."Aveline shook her head. "No need, I've already called a car. Thanks anyway."Selena said, "We can cancel the ride. It's no trouble for Mr. Skyler to drop us off, so thank you, Mr. Skyler."Russell's handsome and mischievous face lit up with amusement. "With Selena saying that, are you still going to refuse me?"Aveline gave Selena a helpless look.Selena, however, winked at her, her expression inscrutable.They got into the car.Aveline leaned against the window, staring blankly at the night outside.Russell, driving, glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "What happened? Maybe I can help."Selena looked at him, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know any reliable lawyers, especially those good at divorce cases?""Selena!"Aveline immediately grabbed her hand, "Don't say that. I'm not thinking about it

Aveline stepped out of the car, but having drunk so much, she felt unsteady. As soon as she lifted her head, a wave of dizziness hit her, causing her to stumble instinctively.Seeing this, Russell immediately reached out to steady her. "Are you okay?"Aveline regained her balance and realized how close she was to Russell. She quickly withdrew her hand and smiled. "I'm fine, just a bit dizzy."Russell frowned. "In your condition, how will you get home? Let me take you.""No need..." Aveline shook her head, about to say more when a familiar voice sounded from nearby."This isn't the best spot. Why don't you head upstairs?"Aveline and Russell turned to see Lucas sitting in a car not far away, the window rolled down, revealing his cold, grim face. His eyes were fixed on them with a dark, intense gaze.Aveline pursed her lips, looked away, and said to Russell, "I'll go now."Russell seemed worried. "Aveline, maybe I should...""No, it's fine." Aveline gave him a faint smile, then turned a

"What are you doing?"Aveline was startled and instinctively tried to avoid him. However, the bathtub was slippery, and after several attempts to struggle, she fell back into it.Lucas pressed one hand on her shoulder, leaning over her. His long, narrow eyes fixed on her, already tinged with a hint of crimson, as if suppressing some emotion."Aveline, do you like Russell?" His deep voice questioned her heavily.Aveline was stunned, feeling speechless!How could he ask such a question?Didn't he know whom she liked?However, without her consent, he entered her home, questioned her in that tone, and bullied her like this. There was no way she could say she liked him!"Who I like has nothing to do with you!"Aveline's clear eyes stared straight at him, not fearing his cold demeanor at all. "What? You can like Miss Winter, but I can't like other men?""No, you can't!" Lucas roared. His hand pressed on her shoulder while gripping her chin, and his fierce kiss followed.Aveline was shocked a

Lucas sat down on a chair, his expression noble and indifferent. "Eat first.”Aveline walked over and snatched the utensils from his hand, slamming them onto the table. "Lucas, how did you get in here?"Lucas looked at her calmly, his mood inexplicably lifting at her angry expression. "Do you think changing the password lock will keep me out? As long as I want to, I can come in anytime."His deep, magnetic voice made her feel as though he was talking about something else entirely. Remembering everything that happened last night, she became even angrier. "You want to eat? No way! None of this is for you!"She moved his bowl and utensils away and sat at the farthest spot from him, eating on her own.Lucas watched her and suddenly chuckled, "Aveline, aren't you being childish?"Aveline said nothing. What could she do? She couldn't manage him with either force or kindness. She had no way to handle Lucas!Lucas wasn't angry; he just watched her with amusement. When she finished eating, he f

"Hey, Selena, do you know anyone who sells high-tech locks?"Selena was momentarily stunned by her question. "Didn't you just change your lock? Why do you need to change it again?"Aveline replied, "It can't keep people out, so I have to keep changing it."Selena was silent for a moment before saying, "Why not just get a new place?"Aveline's eyes lit up. "You're right, let's just get a new house."Selena said, "I can introduce you to someone for that. Maple Garden is a great area. If you sell for a bit less, I'm sure someone will be willing to buy."Aveline agreed. "Okay, let's do that. I have to go to work now. We'll talk more after I get off tonight.""Alright."...At the office.Aveline spent the entire day working, coordinating with Brighton Enterprises, and inspecting the construction site.In short, she didn't get a moment's rest.When she returned to the office, most people had already left.She sat at her desk, took a sip of water, and then called Selena."Hey, Ave, are you d

Lucas shot a cold glance at Selena.Selena felt a chill run through her and instinctively looked away.Lucas's icy gaze then fell on Russell, but it was just a fleeting glance before he turned to Aveline and asked, "Bringing strange men into our home without my permission, isn't that inappropriate?"Aveline laughed out of anger. "This is my house. Why should I need your permission to bring friends over?"With one hand in his pocket, Lucas maintained his cold, noble demeanor. "Have we divorced?"Aveline pressed her lips together.Lucas continued, "Since we haven't divorced, you're still my wife. Your house is marital property, which means what's yours is also mine."Suppressing her anger, Aveline replied coldly, "Do I really have to spell it out for you?"Lucas looked at her with a faint, mocking smile. "What? Do you want to argue in front of everyone? Are you sure you want to air our marital issues in public?"Aveline was speechless.Shameless!Did he still remember they were married?

"What are you doing? Put me down!"Aveline was shocked. What had gotten into this man again?Lucas quickly walked into the bedroom, tossing her onto the bed. Before she could get up, he leaned over, his heavy body pinning her down, his gaze dark and intense."What are you doing, Lucas?"Aveline's chest heaved with anger, her beautiful eyes burning with fury.Lucas looked at her coldly. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Russell? What were you thinking today, bringing him here? If I hadn't happened to show up, what were you planning to do?"Aveline found him completely unreasonable!She struggled fiercely. "Lucas, stop being crazy! Russell and I are friends. What's wrong with bringing a friend over?"She dared not mention that she was selling the house. If he knew, he might tear her heart apart!This man, when he lost his mind, was capable of anything!Lucas stared at her intensely. Her face had turned a delicate shade of red from her efforts.She wasn't wearing any makeup, but the bl

"Let… let me go!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit."Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.The man froze, startled, and looked up to see a girl standing not far away."Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.Selena’s expression grew colder as she took in Jolie’s disheveled state. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him."Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where’s your fight?" Selena said sharply.Jolie’s blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support."Take me

Jolie watched Selena’s retreating figure and shook her head in frustration. What could she do? Selena’s emotional wounds ran deep, and no matter what Jolie tried, it seemed impossible to bridge the gap between them.Returning to the party, she glanced around at the crowd of men and women mingling with champagne flutes in hand, but her mind wasn’t on the event. She casually picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped it slowly.What she didn’t notice was a man standing across the room, watching her. As she drank, his eyes darkened, and he licked his lips suggestively.After finishing about half the glass, Jolie started feeling strange. Her body was growing weak, her skin hot and feverish, and a strange itchiness spread through her veins.Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was happening? She headed toward the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, her legs gave out, and she had to grab the wall for support to keep from collapsing."Did someone drug me?" she murmu

Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m

At first, the twin really did look quite wrinkly and not very cute, but as time passed, they started to fill out and became more and more beautiful. The baby boy had a calm demeanor, rarely crying or fussing. He spent most of his time either eating or sleeping, with large, dark eyes like black grapes, a high nose, a tiny mouth, and chubby, round cheeks full of baby fat.The baby girl, on the other hand, was much more lively and prone to fussing, expressing her displeasure whenever things didn’t go her way. She cried the most between the two.The baby boy was born first, and the girl was the younger sister. Every time, the sister seemed determined to make her brother cry, but she never succeeded. Once fed, she would calm down.“Have you thought of any names for them yet?” Selena asked, looking at Aveline, who was slowly recovering, while playfully toying with the little ones in the stroller.Aveline replied, "We’ve chosen some temporary nicknames, but we haven’t settled on their full n

Aveline said, "Braden is probably not interested."“Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.”“True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month. One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action—though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly.At the hospital, Lucas h

To mitigate the impact of the incident, the Fletcher family arranged a marriage with the Skyler family, setting the wedding date for just one month later, a rather hasty decision. Aaron officially became the head of the Fletcher family, and despite any grievances Nathalie might have had, she didn’t dare voice them, keeping her frustration to herself.Selena, on the other hand, finally had some leisure time. With Aaron busier than ever, she felt bored and decided to visit Aveline in Larbor City.Aveline’s belly had grown quite large, and with just a month left until her due date, her feet had started swelling, looking puffy and rounded like little pillows. Seeing her condition, Selena couldn't help but remark, "Pregnancy looks so tough. I'm starting to get a little scared."Aveline glanced at her. "Are you planning to get pregnant?"As far as she remembered, Selena had never mentioned such plans.Selena nodded, then shared the idea she had previously about arranging a marriage between

Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress."How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!What went wrong?Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don’t get worked up, Lila. You can’t afford to get upset right now. It’s okay, mom’s here with you. I’ll take care of this."But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing u

The servant stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded. How... how could this have happened? How did Lila end up in the room instead of Selena?She distinctly remembered helping Selena into that very room and watching as the family doctor applied the patch to her ankle. The patch, once applied for more than a minute, should have released the drug into Selena's system, gradually taking effect. But now everything had gone terribly wrong.Pale and trembling, the servant knew that her role in this failed scheme had been exposed. There would be no good outcome for her. She began to retreat, hoping to slip away unnoticed."Leaving so soon?"A lazy, magnetic voice suddenly spoke from behind her.Startled, she spun around to see Aaron standing in the doorway. His tall, imposing figure blocked the exit, preventing anyone from leaving easily."I... I..." The servant stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence, trapped in her fear.Aaron’s expression remained neutral, b

"Such a big issue has to be cleared up, don’t you think, Aaron? What if someone is deliberately trying to smear your wife’s name?" "Exactly! We’ve all met your wife—she’s beautiful and sharp. There’s no way she’d do anything to betray you.""We need to open the door and clear up any misunderstandings before things get out of hand."The crowd voiced their concerns, their words filled with feigned sympathy, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation.Kendrick arrived just behind Aaron, and upon hearing the whispers, his expression darkened."Who said this?" The servant timidly raised her hand. "I... I did."His voice hardened. "Are you sure of what you saw?"Though visibly frightened, the servant nodded firmly. "I’m sure.""I don’t think she’s lying.”"Maybe it’s true. If it is, then she really couldn’t keep herself in check, especially at Lila’s birthday party. How shameless.""Unbelievable! With a husband like Aaron, she’s still not satisfied? I can’t understand women like that."A few
