After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 227
Lucas ordered coldly, "Tell her to come see me when I return."Desmond replied, "Yes, sir."...As Aveline exited the airport, she immediately spotted a strikingly handsome man with short, purple-gray hair.A smile spread across her face. "Russ."Russell naturally took her luggage and asked, "Are you tired? There’s still some time left. If you're tired, you can rest a bit."Aveline shook her head. "I'm fine. I slept on the plane."Russell opened the car door for her. "Then let's go. We'll get you changed first."Aveline nodded and got into the car.Once they arrived, Russell handed her over to the stylist and waited in the lounge.Sitting in front of the mirror, Aveline said, "I don’t want anything too glamorous, just something simple and elegant will do."The stylist, initially eager to showcase her skills, had to rein in her creativity upon hearing Aveline's request.An hour and a half later, everything was ready.Hearing movement, Russell looked up to see Aveline gracefully descendi

The banquet hall was on the 7th floor. As the elevator doors opened, Russell and Aveline stepped out.Because of Russell's recent reunion with the Skyler family, many people recognized him and came over to greet him, engaging in polite conversation.Aveline stood quietly beside him, playing the role of an accessory.Suddenly, she felt a cold presence enveloping her. Her expression froze, and she instinctively turned to look.Her eyes widened when she saw the person not far away.Lucas!What was he doing here?Aveline instinctively grabbed Russell's arm.Russell looked at her and leaned in slightly, asking, "What's wrong?""Nothing," Aveline replied, her eyelids trembling as she tried to compose herself.Noticing her unease, Russell said, "If you're uncomfortable, you can go over there. That's the self-service area, and it has everything."Aveline smiled and shook her head. "No need, I'll stay by your side."Hearing this, Russell's smile widened. "Alright, then stay close to me."Avelin

Lucas' gaze swept downward, and he immediately spotted the pair in the self-service area. The girl held a plate, taking small bites, and had accidentally smeared her cheek. The man beside her gently wiped it away with a tissue. The scene was harmonious and beautiful as if they were a couple.A cold glint flashed in Lucas' eyes.His tone grew even colder. "I didn't want to bring someone I'm bound to divorce to avoid being a laughingstock."Wilbert's face darkened. "Can you stop acting like your irresponsible father?"Lucas lowered his gaze slightly and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Wilbert."Without waiting for Wilbert's response, he turned and walked downstairs.Aveline got cream on her dress and asked worriedly, "Russ, do you think this stain will ruin the dress?"Ruining such a delicate and beautiful gown would be a shame!Russell replied, "Let's go over there to clean it up. Don't worry, it's fine."Aveline followed him behind a screen where there were fewer people, ensuring they wouldn't

Aveline replied calmly, "I'm his date. It’s only natural that I go with him."Lucas' expression darkened considerably. This woman had no sense of danger!"Aveline, come here!" he commanded, his deep, magnetic voice cold and laced with an icy edge.Aveline remained unmoved. Who did he think he was? Did he expect her to just obey?Lucas' eyes fixed on her with a frosty gaze. "If you come over now, I'll overlook what happened before."Aveline chuckled softly and looked at him. "I'll come over if we divorce."The air around them seemed to freeze instantly. She really had no hesitation about mentioning divorce, even in front of others, and with such calm.Rage burned within Lucas as he stared at her as if trying to bore a hole through her with his gaze. Aveline felt a twinge of fear, knowing there would be no good outcome from angering him, but stubbornly, she refused to back down. Why should she yield when he treated her so poorly?Russell watched with great interest from the side. B

Aveline smoothly withdrew her hand and smiled, "We're friends, so it’s only normal that I'm worried about you."Russell's hand felt empty, and a strange emptiness filled his heart. He rubbed his fingers together before casually shoving them into his pocket. "It's fine. He can't do anything to me."Lucas had just returned to the Tudor family and had not yet entered the Tudor Group. For now, he only had the DK Group under his control, which couldn't stir up much trouble.Aveline let out a slight sigh of relief. "That's good to hear."At that moment, Russell's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, raised his eyebrows, and said to Aveline, "I need to take this call.""Okay.” she nodded, watching him walk towards the outdoor garden.The hotel's outdoor garden was beautiful, located only on the 7th floor, with dim lighting and a faint floral scent lingering in the air, creating a serene atmosphere.Aveline turned around and found a quiet corner to wait. As a waiter passed by, she took a gla

A warm breath brushed against her ear as the man's deep voice whispered, "Rina Johnson, the sole heiress of the Johnson family. What do you think Russell is aiming for by stringing her along like this?"As he finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Aveline's face. She was accompanying Russell to this banquet, but he clearly didn't care about her at all.Aveline's expression remained indifferent. She stopped listening to the conversation nearby and turned to him. "You called me over just to show me this?"Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly. "Aveline, you're just a pawn.""So?" Aveline's tone was light, showing complete indifference.Lucas suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, "Leave with me later."Aveline chuckled suddenly. "Do you think that showing me this will make me leave with you?"Lucas' face darkened at her words. "What do you mean?"Aveline pushed him away. "I told you, I'm Russell's date tonight. I have nothing to do with you!"With that, she turned and ret

"Rina."At that moment, Russell's voice came through. "Tonight is your grandfather's birthday banquet. There are many guests. It’s not unusual for some of them to come out here to get some fresh air. Don't go over there."Rina glanced toward the flower pavilion corridor, hesitated for a moment, but then followed Russell's advice and returned."Russ, who is that woman? Why did she come with you?" Rina's voice grew more distant.Aveline's body quickly relaxed. She pushed Lucas away and ran back towards the banquet hall.As her figure disappeared into the light, Lucas glanced down at his fingers, noticing the lingering moisture.His eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed. He cast a look back in the direction of Rina and Russell before striding away.Aveline went straight to the restroom and splashed her face with cold water to calm down. The thought of what had just happened filled her with anger, making her want to hit Lucas.But she couldn't win him. That man was truly infuriating!

Her expression froze for a moment, ignoring him.Lucas commanded, "Come here."Aveline frowned. Nothing from before was resolved, so why should she listen to him? She turned her head and smiled slightly at Russell. "Russ, could you give me a ride home?"Russell raised an eyebrow. "It’s my pleasure to drive a beautiful lady home." He then reached out to open the car door.Lucas' face darkened as he stared at Aveline.Just then, Russell's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes."Hello?" he answered.Aveline watched him, not getting into the car immediately.Russell's expression soured as he listened to the caller. "I understand," he said before hanging up. Turning to Aveline, his face showed a trace of apology. "I'm sorry, something urgent came up. I can't give you a ride."Aveline blinked. "Then you should go. I'll just call a taxi."Russell insisted, "I'll find someone to take you."Aveline shook her head with a smile. "No need. There are plenty

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta

It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s

"I’ll wait for you to come back," Jolie said softly before hanging up the call. The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared. Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded. When his assistant walked in, the first thing he noticed was Gavin staring at his phone, an unreadable smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The assistant froze, momentarily feeling as though he’d seen a ghost. Blinking hard, he looked again. Phew! It must have been his imagination. Gavin still wore his usual cold and impassive expression. "Mr. Cooper, these are the proposals submitted by the planning department," the assistant said as he placed the documents on Gavin’s desk. "Mm," Gavin acknowledged, immediately opening the files to review them. "Mr. Cooper, I’ve also finalized your schedule for

It sounded so much like Jolie! The thought stunned Rosalie. Jolie had a boyfriend, and she got sent abroad because of him. How could she possibly be in contact with Gavin, let alone on a video call with him? Still, an uneasy suspicion gnawed at Rosalie. If she could just take one glance at the woman in Gavin’s video call, she could put her mind at ease. Gathering her courage, Rosalie lifted her head and looked in Gavin’s direction, her gaze fixed on his phone. The next second, a figure stepped in front of her—Gavin’s assistant. With a cold stare, he blocked her view. Startled, Rosalie’s face turned pale. By now, Gavin had already entered his office. The assistant looked at Rosalie, his voice icy. “What are you trying to do?” “I-I…” Rosalie hadn’t expected to be caught so quickly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she scrambled for an excuse. “I just wanted to check if Mr. Cooper needed anything.” “That’s not your job,” the assistant replied firmly. “You may be the

Aveline held Joy in one arm and looked at Selena, asking, "What are you doing?" Selena replied, "Do you know what I just saw?" Aveline shook her head. "No idea." "Hickeys!" Selena pointed exaggeratedly to a spot on her neck, saying, "Right here. And I don’t think it’s just one spot. There’s probably a lot more below. Tsk tsk!" She clicked her tongue twice, shaking her head as she added, "Who would’ve thought Mr. Cooper could be so... ravenous." Aveline was amused and said, "Well, it makes sense. After all, he's already thirty, never had a girlfriend, and now that he finally does, of course, he’d go all out to spoil her." "Go all out to spoil her..." Selena drew out the words, mimicking her tone as she leaned in closer. "Ave, you’ve really been corrupted by Lucas, that scoundrel. You never used to talk like this." Aveline responded matter-of-factly, "I’m the mother of two now. What’s there to be embarrassed about?" "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Selena made a playful, teasing expr

The corners of Gavin’s lips curved into a faint smile.The subordinate giving the report froze, his eyes widening in shock.What on earth?!Did he just witness that?Their notoriously serious and unsmiling boss—especially during work—had just smiled. In the middle of a meeting at his phone.Several others in the room noticed it too. Their gazes darted between each other in silent but frantic communication.What’s going on?Did Mr. Cooper just smile? At his phone? During a meeting?“Is he… dating someone?” everyone thought.“Ahem!”Gavin’s assistant cleared his throat, immediately breaking the silent chaos. First, it was a warning to the staff to rein in their imaginations, and second, it was a subtle reminder to Gavin, who was typing a reply.Even the assistant couldn’t help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.Who would have thought?The president of Cooper Enterprises, a man known for his iron will and unshakable focus, was texting his girlfriend during a meeting… and smilin

Rosalie said, “That must be tough for you. But why did Uncle and Aunt suddenly decide to send you abroad?” Jolie’s eyes flickered. So, her parents hadn’t told their relatives the real reason? How typical.Of course, they’d be too embarrassed to admit it. Shipping their daughter abroad just to force her to break up with her boyfriend? What a humiliating thing to confess. Jolie replied calmly, “I wanted to study abroad to gain some experience. It’s for my future photography exhibition. I still have a lot to learn.” “Oh, I see,” Rosalie responded, feigning understanding. Then she added, “Where are you staying? If I get the chance, I’ll come visit you.” “There’s no need, but thanks for thinking of me,” Jolie said lightly. “I’ll only be gone for a year. I’ll be back before you know it.” Rosalie smiled on the other end. “Alright then. If you need anything, just let me know.” “Sure.” After a few more polite exchanges, the call ended. Rosalie stared at her phone, gripping it

"Beep! Unlocked!" The electronic voice of the fingerprint lock sounded unusually clear in the quiet night. As soon as Jolie stepped through the door, Gavin wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace. His hot breath cascaded down onto her ear and neck, making her breath hitch instantly. She didn’t even have time to take off her shoes before she was swept up into his arms. His kisses were relentless, stealing her breath and unraveling her control as her emotions rose and fell with his every move. Before she knew it, she was seated on the entryway cabinet. Her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her legs were forced to cling to his lean waist. His fingers trailed over her skin, leaving traces of his presence wherever they went. “Mm…” A soft whimper escaped her lips as his kisses marked her skin. Each mark, blooming like crimson flowers against her fair skin, painted a vivid contrast on her porcelain complexion. The room remained pitch dark, but
