After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 240
Lucas stared at her intently. Even though he had watched the surveillance footage of the road where they first met countless times, he still couldn't be sure if she knew his identity from the beginning. If she did, then she was incredibly cunning, as he hadn't noticed it during their entire year together.But if she didn't...He didn't dare continue that line of thought, nor did he dare to trust easily. A faint glimmer of light flickered in his eyes.A sudden cold wind blew, making Aveline shiver as she burrowed into his chest. "Lu, I'm so cold. Hold me."The tension in his heart made him uncomfortable, but seeing her like this, he couldn't bring himself to wake her up. Ultimately, he was addicted to her current softness and obedience.Lucas collected his thoughts and hugged her tightly, feeling her soft warmth. His eyes darkened further."Mr. Tudor."At that moment, Steve walked over. He was momentarily shocked to see Lucas holding a woman, but quickly regained his composure."Are y

Aveline's fingers curled instinctively as she lay in the car. She had actually woken up as soon as they put her in, but she hadn't opened her eyes immediately. Zachary had already left, and it was too late for her to return to the hotel alone, so she pretended to be asleep. There might have been other reasons, but she didn't want to delve into them.She responded coolly, "Yes, any problem with that?""Aveline, you deceived me and took a free ride back, and this is how you repay me?" Lucas was nearly laughing in frustration.Aveline looked at him. "Didn't I say thank you? What more do you want? Should I kneel and kowtow to you?"Lucas was speechless. This woman really knew how to infuriate him!Seeing his increasingly dark expression, Aveline smiled and said, "Lucas, you're upset because you gave a lady a ride back to the hotel? That's pretty petty of you."With that, she turned and walked away.Lucas stood there for a long moment, truly exasperated by her words, before finally return

"Hello,” Aveline greeted.Zachary's voice came through. "How are you doing?""I'm fine. About last night..." Aveline began."I'm sorry," Zachary interrupted. "I got too worked up. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble.""No, you didn't," Aveline replied calmly.There was a brief silence before Zachary spoke again. "There's something I don't know how to tell you."Aveline felt a bit confused. "What's going on?"After a moment of hesitation, Zachary explained, "I need to take over the orphanage, but I have to submit documents for government approval. I submitted them today, but they were rejected. A friend told me that an investor from Cloudflare City pressured the higher-ups. “I have no idea what I did to offend him. Since you and Mr. Lucas are married, could you ask him about it?Aveline's expression grew colder. Lucas pressured the local authorities to prevent Zachary from taking over the orphanage? Why?Zachary was just an ordinary person with no conflicting interests with Lucas.Se

Aveline struggled twice but couldn't break free. Her face turned cold. "What else am I supposed to do? I need to understand why you're targeting Zachary. He hasn't wronged you.""He has," Lucas replied coldly.Aveline was taken aback. "When?"Lucas released her hand and looked at her indifferently. "Why should I tell you? What’s your relationship with him? In what capacity are you questioning me?""You..."Aveline's breath hitched, looking at his shameless expression, feeling a mix of exasperation and helplessness. With him acting like this, she was at a loss.It was clear that Lucas had no intention of letting Zachary off easily. Knowing she was the cause, Aveline realized she had to resolve this issue.Taking a deep breath, she softened her tone. "Lucas, if he did something to upset you, I apologize on his behalf. You're the CEO of DK Group, handsome and magnanimous. Can't you just let it go?"Her words only made Lucas' face grow colder. He scoffed, "You apologize for him? Who do you

"Go check who it is," Lucas instructed.Aveline felt exasperated like she had become his secretary. How infuriating! She walked to the door and opened it, revealing the room service she had ordered. She brought the food inside and set it on the dining table.Lucas got up and walked over, opening the bag. Seeing the pork ribs, his brows furrowed deeply. "You expect me to eat this?"Aveline replied, "This is for me..."Lucas' eyes darkened, and his expression turned grim. Aveline mumbled, "How was I supposed to know you'd be back? If you'd told me, I would've cooked for you."The presidential suite was well-equipped, including a small kitchen where she could easily whip up a simple meal.Lucas said, "You can still cook for me now."Aveline sighed, feeling like she'd dug herself into a hole. She looked at him and asked, "If I cook for you, will you let Zachary go?"Lucas' cold gaze fixed on her. "Is this how you ask for a favor?"Aveline frowned. "Then what will it take for you to let

Lucas smirked. "Then why were you staring at me? Do you like me?"As he spoke, his lips curved into a faint smile. He reached out to caress her face. "I know you've always liked me, but there's no need to be so obvious. Otherwise, I might not be able to resist doing something right here."Aveline was speechless, thinking, “Is he crazy?”She quickly got up from his lap, her cheeks feeling warm, and headed straight for the bathroom.Lucas watched her retreating back, the smile on his lips fading slightly before he returned to his work.Aveline splashed cold water on her face, trying to calm down. Otherwise, she might not be able to resist slapping him. She reminded herself that she needed to ask him for a favor, so she had to be patient and humble.A bitter smile appeared on her face. She was his wife, yet to get him to do something, she had to lower herself and cater to him. She felt like a failure as a wife. Then again, he was even more of a failure as a husband.When she came out of

Lucas said, "You can't stop me."Aveline fell silent.She took a deep breath and asked, "Are you done with your work? Can we talk about Zachary now?"Lucas picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and with a cold expression, replied, "I have a dinner meeting later. Accompany me, and if you do well, I'll consider letting him go."Aveline frowned. "Can't you just say that if I do well, you'll let him go? Why add 'consider'?"What if he were to change his mind and decided not to let Zachary go?Lucas looked at her playfully. "You're quite clever."Aveline was speechless.She didn’t like that kind of compliment.Lucas lifted his chin slightly. "Go change into the dress."Following his gaze, Aveline noticed a dress on the other side of the sofa. She walked over, picked it up, and went straight into the room to change.Fortunately, the dress was quite conservative. It highlighted her figure while covering those ambiguous marks.When she came out, she saw that Lucas had also changed into a sui

Aveline stared at his back. If looks could kill, he would be riddled with wounds by now. How infuriating!"Mrs. Tudor, please get in the car," Desmond urged cautiously.Aveline looked at him. "I told you not to call me that. Don't you find it disgusting?"Desmond fell silent.After speaking, Aveline got into the car. Looking at Lucas' cold, handsome face, she struggled to suppress her emotions. After mentally calming herself for a while, she said, "Lucas, I don't mean anything by it. I'm just thinking of you. If Miss Winter were to find out you don't want a divorce, she'd be heartbroken. What if she jumps off a building again?"She appeared genuinely concerned.Lucas' anger only intensified. He closed his eyes and ignored her.Seeing his darkened expression, Aveline felt oddly satisfied and turned to look out the window instead of saying more.The car drove smoothly down the road.Arthur Town was just a small county. Its nightlife was nowhere near as lively as that of a big city,

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
