After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 191
Aveline looked at his stern back, took a deep breath, and felt incredibly irritated.What on earth was he doing?He had talked about divorce earlier, and now that she had agreed, he refused.He even blamed her for Sophia's kidnapping.And now she was being watched by Darren.Life was a mess!After walking for a while, Lucas noticed Aveline hadn’t followed and frowned, turning back to look at her coldly.Reluctantly, Aveline got out of the car and followed him into the Tudor residence.“Mr. Lucas, Miss Young,” the butler greeted them respectfully.Lucas replied indifferently, “She is my wife.”The butler paused, then quickly corrected himself, “Mrs. Tudor.”Aveline frowned but said nothing; she was tired of his unpredictability.Following Lucas upstairs, they went directly into the bedroom.Aveline stood at the door, not entering, watching him take out the first aid kit. Seeing her hesitate, he said, “Come here.”Aveline curled her lips sarcastically. “Are you going to treat my wounds y

He stood there, watching her intently as if he wouldn't stop until she followed his instructions. Aveline briefly closed her eyes, amused that despite her disheveled state, he didn't seem bothered. Clearly, he wasn't picky.It wasn't the first time she had undressed herself in front of him, so Aveline didn't fuss. Her expression quickly returned to calm as she began unbuttoning her shirt. Beneath it, a white tank top with thin straps hung delicately on her elegant, pale shoulders, accentuating her frail beauty.Aveline set her shirt aside and looked up at Lucas. He averted his gaze from her, took the first aid kit, and sat beside her. Seizing her arm, he began tending to the scrapes. Aveline paused, surprised he was actually treating her wounds.He was so close now, the light casting his sharp, handsome features in deep relief. His long eyelashes and high nose bridge, combined with his slightly lowered eyes, gave him a distinguished air. He frowned at the injuries on her arm, his move

Aveline initially thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep at the Tudor residence, but she fell into a deep slumber as soon as she lay down. When she woke, it was already the next morning.After washing up, Aveline left her room and happened to see Lucas coming out of his bedroom. Their eyes met briefly before she looked away and headed downstairs.Lucas stared at her intently and, seeing she was about to leave, said, "Come and have breakfast."Aveline paused and replied, "No, thanks. I’m running late for work."Lucas remarked, "You have nothing urgent at work right now, so why rush?"A chill crept into her clear eyes at his words. "Did you instruct Ms. Scoot to kick me off the Brighton Enterprises project team?"Lucas's expression remained indifferent. "Yes."After the poisoning incident, he had her important work halted, assuming she was responsible and wanting to teach her a lesson.Aveline let out a cold laugh. "Can’t you just fire me directly?"It would spare her the daily grind of w

Aveline stood up to leave. Lucas didn't stop her, and only after she had completely left the dining room did his gaze lose its intensity.At that moment, the butler said, "Mr. Lucas, we have placed all those things in the warehouse. What do you plan to do with them?"Lucas responded indifferently, "Leave them for now."The butler nodded and said no more....Aveline left the Tudor residence, which was quite remote, requiring a two-kilometer walk to the nearest bus stop.After walking for about five minutes, she heard the roar of a car engine behind her."Beep!"The sound of the horn made Aveline instinctively glance to the side, only to see Lucas' cold, stern face."You've been out this long and only made it this far?"Aveline's face darkened. "Are you crazy?"Lucas sneered, stepped on the gas, and the car sped off, leaving her in a cloud of exhaust fumes.Fuming, Aveline stomped her foot and continued walking expressionlessly.Just as she was about to reach the bus stop, the car retu

"Mmm!" Aveline pushed against him with all her might, but his strength was overwhelming as if he intended to devour her whole. His intense, penetrating scent enveloped her completely, relentlessly invading her senses. After what seemed an eternity, she gasped for air as he finally released her, his nose brushing against hers as he observed her flushed, breathless state. He swallowed hard, then abruptly exited the car.Aveline felt utterly weakened by the kiss, unable to lift even her fingers. Anger and allure flickered in her eyes. This jerk! Yet, he hadn't let her out of the car, so she decided not to get down either. He wanted her to apologize to Sophia? Impossible!Unfortunately, Sharon witnessed their kiss and fueled by rage, quickly snapped a photo with her phone before storming off to Sophia’s hospital room."What’s wrong?" Sophia asked upon seeing her agitated state."I'm so angry! That shameless woman, flirting with Lucas right out in the open!" Sharon exclaimed, showin

Lucas' brow furrowed as he looked at her closed eyes and the face that was inches away, suddenly feeling a wave of irritation. Just then, his phone rang. He got up immediately and answered the call."Right, I understand."After a brief exchange, he ended the call and turned to Sophia. "Rest well, I have to go now," he said, then turned and left the hospital room abruptly."Lucas..." Sophia's face fell as she watched him leave without hesitation. She instinctively wanted to get out of bed and follow him, but his steps were quick, and the door to the hospital room had already closed.Her hands clutched the sheets tightly, her eyes flashing with a cold fury. How infuriating! Why wouldn't he kiss her? He could kiss that wretch Aveline, so why not her? It was all that woman's fault for seducing him—she despised Aveline!...Aveline was sitting in the car, trying to calm her breathing, when a knock on the window startled her. She turned her head to see Sharon standing there, looking unfr

This man knew no shame! After all that had transpired, he could still utter such callous words without changing his expression.Aveline took a deep breath and asked, "Not going to the company?"Lucas looked at her, feeling a bit disappointed but said nothing, instead starting the car. The atmosphere in the car was strangely tense.By the time they reached the company, Aveline had composed herself and entered the building without looking back. Lucas' gaze followed her slender figure, his eyes darkening as he noted her graceful walk, even in a simple shirt and trousers.It was already past working hours, so not many people were at the entrance. Aveline's arrival from Lucas' car went unnoticed. As she stepped out of the elevator, Gwen passed by, and paused, wanting to say something, but held back. Aveline keenly sensed the change in her attitude but didn't dwell on it.Aveline planned to resign. Since she had been removed from the Brighton Enterprises project team, she finished her cu

Aveline took a few deep breaths, calming herself before walking over to him. Once beside him, she asked stiffly, "What do you want?"Lucas directly grabbed her wrist, pulling her onto his lap. She was startled, her body tensing, but she didn't struggle.Seeing the coldness and reluctance in her eyes, an unexplainable fire ignited within Lucas. He grasped her chin, his voice deep. "Aveline, do you want to stay away from me?"Her long eyelashes trembled as she replied, "Yes."Lucas tightened his grip slightly, his eyes smoldering with intensity as his thumb brushed her lips. "Fine, I can approve your resignation, but you have to agree to one condition."A sense of foreboding swept through Aveline's heart. She cautiously asked, "What?"Lucas replied, "Sleep with me once."Aveline widened her eyes. "You're shameless!"He was supposed to marry Sophia and had already promised her, yet he was saying this to Aveline!Her eyes reddened with anger. "How can you do this to Miss Winter?"Lucas ign

Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear

"Stop moving," Gavin growled in a low voice.But Jolie, completely under the control of the drugs, was acting purely on instinct, seeking out what her body craved most. She didn’t register his words at all. Instead of stopping, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, feeling the hard muscles of his chest."Mm..." Jolie let out a soft sound, whether from the satisfying feel of his muscles or because the touch of his skin intensified the drug’s effects, it wasn’t clear.Gavin's breathing became heavier. He couldn’t stay here any longer—this drugged and irrational woman could do anything at this point, and there was no telling what she’d attempt next.Quickly surveying his surroundings, Gavin spotted a quieter route. Without hesitation, he carried Jolie out through the back door, re-entering the villa through another entrance. He headed upstairs and slipped into the nearest empty room, laying her down on the bed.Just as he moved to leave, Jolie, still hazy and half-conscious, sensed his d

"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
