Aveline hesitated and said, "But I've never attended such an event. I'm afraid I might make mistakes."Russell replied, "No worries, you just need to look beautiful."Aveline nodded. "Alright, just promise not to scold me if I mess up."Russell chuckled softly. "I promise I won't."Aveline continued packing her things. She didn't have much; everything fit into one suitcase. Once she was done, she paused for a moment, feeling a bit dazed.After living here for so long, this was all she had?From the beginning, she had never felt like this place belonged to her.A faint bitterness crossed her eyes as she zipped up her suitcase and carried it out the door.She gave the passcode to Russell.Russell nodded slightly, took the suitcase from her hand, and said, "Let's go.""Alright."Leaving Maple Garden, they headed back to the apartment she had lived in before.It had been a while since she returned, and the place was a bit messy.Feeling a bit embarrassed, Aveline said, "I haven't been back

The orphanage was filled with children who had been abandoned by their parents. When Aveline was a child back then, she couldn't help but wonder if she had been abandoned too. Why didn’t her parents want her after giving birth to her? So, for all these years, she had never thought about looking for her biological parents.Russell, noticing her distracted expression, said, "Maybe something happened to your family, or perhaps you were taken away. It's all possible. Do you want to find them, Aveline?""I haven't decided yet," Aveline replied.Russell said, "Take your time to think it over. When you're ready, let me know. I can help you."Aveline looked at him, feeling touched. "Russ, why are you so good to me?"Russell saw the familiar look of admiration in her eyes, and it made his heart ache. He choked up a bit and said, "Because I'm your friend, remember? Haha."Aveline smiled slightly. "I'll think about it.""Good."Russell didn't want to continue the topic. Did he really appear li

Aaron reached up to rub his arm and said, "I overheard Selena talking to Aveline on the phone. She sounds pretty certain. What did you do to make her want to leave Cloudflare City?"But he received no answer; Lucas hung up on him abruptly."What a temper!" Aaron commented, setting his phone aside and leaning back against the headboard."Selena!" He called out loudly, immediately feeling dizzy and unwell.A moment later, Selena pushed the door open and poked her head in. "What is it?"Aaron, half-squinting, said, "Add me to your messenger contact. I don't want to keep shouting; it gives me a headache."Selena replied, "You could just call me."Aaron said, "That's too much trouble."Selena was speechless.She gave him a perplexed look, unable to understand why he found calling her more troublesome than opening WhatsApp to send a message.What had gotten into him this time?But, remembering that she only had a week left with him, she decided not to argue. She walked in and added him as a

Selena glanced down too, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.Oh no!She was about to be caught!But when she looked down, she saw that her phone had broken upon impact!The screen was black!For a moment, she didn't know how to react.Aaron frowned. "Why are you so nervous?"Selena looked at him with a blank expression. "I wasn’t nervous. But you, why did you sneak up behind me? Were you trying to ambush me?"Aaron fell silent.He gave her an exasperated look and said, "I just came to see if you were done. I'm starving."Selena maintained her blank expression. "You could just send me a message! We just added each other on WhatsApp. If you were to fall because you came over, would you blame it on me?"Aaron was speechless, thinking, “What's gotten into this woman?”He rubbed his temples. "I don't have the energy to argue with you."Then he left the kitchen.Watching him enter the dining room and sit down, Selena let out a deep breath.Phew!That was a close call!She thought he'd

Lucas gritted his teeth in anger, now wanting nothing more than to grab Aveline and strangle her! The Maple Garden house was a meticulously chosen gift from him. How dare she sell it?The pressure in the room intensified, and the coldness in the air seemed to freeze.Russell frowned, seeing the murderous look in Lucas' eyes. He suddenly felt worried for Aveline. This madman might actually try to kill her. He needed to warn her to get out of town quickly.Lucas' cold gaze fell on Russell's face, his voice icy. "Mr. Skyler, you don't need this house. Name your price, I'll buy it."Russell laughed as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Lucas, did I hear you right? You want to buy this house back? Are you that desperate to throw your money away?"Lucas' expression remained haughty and detached. "I'll have someone contact you. Within three days, I expect you to move out."With that, he turned and left, heading straight for Aveline's current residence.Russell snorted. The house was in his h

Aveline was thoroughly annoyed.She didn't understand.Why was he calling her?What was there to say?His attitude had been clear—he was firmly on Sophia's side. So why was he still bothering her?Did he really want to be a complete jerk?But she had no patience to play his games!Aveline simply turned off her phone and went to sleep.She thought she would have trouble sleeping.But with her mind occupied with other things, she hardly thought of Lucas.She had a restful night.In Cloudflare City.At the Tudor mansion.Lucas listened to the cold, unyielding tone of the phone's automated message, and in a fit of rage, smashed his phone!He was enveloped in an aura of extreme coldness.Aveline had actually run away!She had a lot of nerve!Did she think this would free her from everything?What wishful thinking!Lucas took a moment to calm himself, then sent a message to Maria. “Find out where Aveline is now.”Maria replied, “Tomorrow. I'm tired.”Lucas demanded, “Do it now!”Maria texted

Aveline smiled and said, "You've changed a lot too. If you hadn't called out to me, I wouldn't have recognized you."Aveline and Russell grew up together in the orphanage and were close friends as kids. But as they got older, things changed and they drifted apart. After Aveline left for college, she lost touch with her old friends from the orphanage.Zachary asked, "Are you back to see us?""Yes, I am." Aveline nodded.Originally, she had wanted to take her time before going back, but it seemed that wasn’t going to happen now.Zachary's eyes lit up. "That's great! Aveline, Madam Hilda will be so happy to see you. She's been talking about you all these years."Aveline smiled. "I'm going to buy a few things. Do you want to come with me?""Sure," Zachary agreed.During their conversation, Aveline learned that Zachary had just graduated and hadn't found a job yet. He had returned to Arthur Town hoping to find a stable job, which would also allow him to help out at the orphanage regularly.
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 217
Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, staying silent. She had intended to give Hilda some money, but seeing her current attitude, she suddenly lost interest. Perhaps, when Hilda founded the orphanage, she genuinely cared for the children, and Aveline even remembered feeling some warmth there as a child. But over time, entangled interests corrupted everything, and nothing remained pure. Aveline pulled out a chair and sat down directly.Hilda glared at her with disapproval. Zachary quickly interjected, "Madam Hilda, Aveline doesn't have a job. How could she have that much money?"Hilda scoffed disdainfully. "You've been in Cloudflare City for so many years and still don't have a job? Aveline, do you regret not listening to me back then? If you had followed my advice, you'd be a wealthy lady by now!"Zachary shot Aveline an embarrassed glance, swiftly changing the subject. "Madam Hilda, what about the other children? Are they all in school?"Hilda responded coldly, glancing at him. "Have

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
