After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 215
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.

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

Juliet said, "Why would she come back? Doesn't she hold a grudge over what happened back then?"Hilda replied, "I didn't expect her to come back either, Juliet. Now is not the time to dwell on that. What if she finds out something?"Juliet chuckled. "She won't. She has no idea. But to prevent any mishaps, you can finish what you didn't complete back then."Hilda's eyes brightened. "Alright, I understand!"Then she asked, "Juliet, when are you coming back? It's been so long since you visited me."Juliet's tone cooled. "Madam Hilda, I have some matters to attend to here. I'll send you ten thousand dollars later so you can buy something nice.""Alright, Juliet, you’re always so considerate, unlike Aveline, who came back with a bunch of useless stuff. Who needs that?"After hanging up, Hilda's eyes gleamed as she scrolled through her phone until she found a number and dialed it."Hello? Mr. Portal? Do you remember Aveline Young?"...Outside the orphanage, Zachary said, "Aveline, don't tak

Aveline thought about it and decided that once she learned about her biological parents, she would leave Arthur Town immediately. She agreed, "Okay."Hilda sneered. "That's more like it."With that, she hung up the phone. Aveline set her phone aside and lay down to sleep.In the evening, at Celestial Heights, Aveline arrived to see Hilda anxiously waiting at the entrance. She walked over. "Madam Hilda."Seeing her approach, Hilda seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and grasped Aveline's hand. "Why are you so late? Do you not want to know about that item you had with you back then?"Aveline pulled her hand away. "Let's go inside first.""Yes, yes, let's go in. I’ve already booked a private room. I've wanted to try the food here for ages, but with so many children to look after, none of you ever made enough money to treat me."Hilda chattered non-stop as they entered the club. Once inside, she marveled at everything, acting as if she had never seen such luxury before. Aveline remained

Hilda continued to belittle Aveline while greedily eating the meal that Aveline was paying for. Aveline found it exasperating.Finally, after Hilda had eaten her fill, she burped and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."Aveline put down her utensils, intending to ask her about the matter once she returned. However, half an hour passed, and Hilda had not returned. Aveline's brow furrowed, and she took out her phone to call Hilda. No one answered.Aveline's expression grew cold.Just then, the door to the private room was abruptly pushed open, and a young man with a broad, menacing face walked in. He wore a leather jacket and had an insolent demeanor. His eyes lit up upon seeing Aveline."It's been years, and you’ve become even more beautiful!" he exclaimed.Aveline immediately stood up, warily eyeing the newcomer.It was Mike Portal.Mike, the son of Arthur Town's deputy mayor, was infamous for his rampant behavior and terrible reputation. Five years ago, on the night Ave

Lucas' expression remained calm and indifferent as he spoke, "Continue to refine the report. I'll conduct the assessments myself.""Understood." Steve nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Tudor, you have to stay in Arthur Town for a few more days to experience our local culture and hospitality."At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Larry entered with a grave expression, whispering something into Steve's ear. Steve's expression shifted, but with Lucas present, he restrained himself from reacting too strongly. Just as he was about to give instructions, the door suddenly burst open, and someone stumbled inside!Five minutes earlier, in the neighboring private room.Mike advanced towards Aveline a step at a time, his eyes filled with lust as he eyed her tightly buttoned shirt, itching to tear it off."Stay away from me! If you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure your life becomes a living hell!" Aveline's face paled as she desperately searched for something to defend herself with.M

Steve cautiously glanced at Lucas and asked, "Mr. Tudor, is there something wrong?" He shot a warning look at Mike, signaling him not to cause any trouble in front of Lucas. If they offended the investor, Mike would become Arthur Town’s public enemy, and not even Steve could protect him.Mike understood the gravity of the situation. Despite wanting to drag Aveline away, he dared not act recklessly. The imposing presence of the man in the main seat created an oppressive atmosphere, making it hard for Mike to breathe.Lucas' icy, piercing gaze settled on Mike. "You said she's your girlfriend?"Mike was momentarily taken aback but quickly nodded. "Yes."With those words, the chill in the room intensified. Everyone could feel the creeping coldness.Aveline's eyes flickered, and she pressed her lips together tightly. What did he mean by this? Was he planning to intervene in her situation? She did not want him to be involved in her affairs and was reluctant to be entangled with him."No

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
