After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 247
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,

Lucas pushed her away gently and took out a small box. "Happy birthday."Rebecca happily took it. "Thank you, Lucas! I love the gift you gave me!"The gift itself didn't matter; what mattered was who gave it.Lucas smiled warmly. "I'm glad you like it."Rebecca's eyes landed on Aveline, who was holding Lucas' arm. Her face clouded over. In a flash, she shoved Aveline aside and latched onto Lucas herself."Who do you think you are?" Rebecca snapped. "What gives you the right to hang on Lucas like that?"Her arrogant demeanor resembled that of a spoiled little princess.Taken by surprise, Aveline lost her balance. Before she could fall, Lucas reached out and steadied her.A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but before she could say anything, she caught Lucas' warning gaze. Fine, she'd endure it.Rebecca clung to Lucas' arm as they walked inside. "Lucas, I heard about what happened to you. I'm so glad you came back safe. My father has been worried and is waiting for you inside.""Mm, I'm f

Lucas' body stiffened as he looked at her soft, warm smile, and his heart softened along with it."Alright.""Mr. Tudor, you're so kind," Aveline said sweetly.Rebecca was livid! Her cousin had been right; this woman was nothing but a slut! No way would she allow such a wretch to stay by Lucas’ side. Lucas was hers!"Dad, I want Lucas to keep me company for a while. It's my birthday today, so can we skip the boring business talk, please?" Rebecca clung to Reynold's arm, pouting.Reynold looked at his daughter with fondness, gently tapping her nose. "Come on, sweetie. You're a big girl now. No need to hang onto Lucas like that, okay?""Alright, alright, I know," Rebecca replied, then turned to Lucas. "Lucas, let's go outside, okay? My garden is beautiful, and I haven't shown it to anyone else. I just want to share it with you!"Reynold added, "Lucas, it's Rebecca's birthday today. Let's not discuss business. You young people should go have fun. No need to stay with me."Lucas nodded

Lucas said calmly, "Your friends have arrived. You should go see what gifts they brought you."Rebecca bit her lip in frustration, shot Aveline a venomous glare, and walked away, lifting her dress as she went.Aveline sighed. "Lucas, I think you're setting me up to be hated."Lucas replied, "Am I?"Aveline said, "That little princess now holds a grudge against me. Since you brought me here, you have to ensure my safety. If anything were to happen to me, it’d be on you."Lucas' eyes locked onto hers, and a faint smile curved his lips. "Don't worry, you won't be missing any limbs."Aveline instinctively shrank back, not wanting to continue the topic. She had to admit, the rose volcano was indeed beautiful, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.Lucas and Aveline strolled around the garden, admiring the scenery. When they reached a pavilion, Lucas's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and said, "I need to take this call."Aveline nodded and stayed in the pavilion, not wander

Rebecca blinked. "Who is Aveline?"Lucas replied, "The girl who came with me."Rebecca, looking indifferent, said, " How would I know? I'm only concerned with you; everyone else is irrelevant to me. Perhaps she's never been here and found something she likes."As the heiress of the Johnson family, Rebecca was confident that anyone who came to their house would always be impressed, let alone Aveline, that despicable woman!Lucas glared at her, a chilling coldness sweeping over Rebecca. His tone grew colder. "Rebecca, please send someone to look for her. She's not familiar with this place, and it wouldn't be good if she damaged any of your things."Rebecca laughed and said, "It's alright. She is your guest. If she likes something, I'll give it to her. Lucas, let's not talk about her anymore. Will you join me in making my birthday wishes?”She grabbed Lucas' arm again, shaking it like an innocent little princess.However, Lucas felt an inexplicable anxiety. He had been calling Aveline t

Tears welled up in Rebecca's eyes from the pain. When she met Lucas' icy gaze, she shrank back in fear and said, "I... I don't know where she went, Lucas. You're really hurting me!"Lucas, emanating a chilling aura, showed her the surveillance video on his phone. The footage, discovered by Maria, revealed Aveline being brought to Rebecca, who then said something before the bodyguards carried Aveline away.However, there was no further footage showing where they took her.Rebecca widened her eyes. "I... I..."Lucas grabbed a nearby wine glass and smashed it, then pointed the broken edge at her face. "Tell me, where is Aveline?"Seeing his fierce expression, Rebecca's face turned pale with fear. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, just let go of me..."Lucas looked terrifying! He actually wanted to disfigure her for that despicable woman!Rebecca couldn’t help but hate Aveline even more.Lucas coldly released her hand, his icy gaze fixed on her.Suddenly, Rebecca saw Reynold and immediately

Lucas exuded an icy demeanor as he spoke, his tone equally frosty. "If that's how it is, then perhaps someday I'll play a similar prank on Rebecca. I trust, Mr. Reynold, you'll treat it as lightly as you are today."Reynold's expression darkened. "Lucas, what do you mean by that?"Lucas replied icily, "I need to see her now."He needed to confirm Aveline's safety before addressing any other matters.Reynold took out his phone and called the butler. "Have you found her?"The butler's voice wavered, "Sir... we've found her, but..."Reynold immediately pressed, "But what?"Just then, Lucas heard the faint sound of dogs barking. His eyes narrowed, and he dashed toward the noise.Aveline was awakened by a dog licking her. She opened her eyes to see a furry face, the dog's tongue continuously licking her arm, the wet sensation filling her with disgust and terror.It was a mastiff!Her face turned pale with fear, and she lay rigidly on the ground, not daring to move a muscle. Rebecca was tru

Aveline finally snapped out of her shock and hurried to help him up. However, having been so terrified earlier, her legs nearly gave out now that she had calmed down.Lucas caught her just in time. "Are you alright? Can you walk?"Aveline shook her head. "I'm fine, really. But your hand... it's covered in blood."Lucas replied, "It's nothing. Don't worry."But Aveline couldn't help worrying. It was a mastiff; what if Lucas suffered from broken bones?Reynold rushed over, his face dark with anger. "Get rid of that beast immediately!""Yes, sir," the butler responded, quickly ordering the mastiff to be taken away.Reynold turned to Lucas. "Lucas, I'll take you to the hospital. Your wound needs to be treated."Lucas said nothing, his eyes fixed on Aveline.Aveline, having regained her composure, helped him out of the villa and into the car. Given that the incident happened at the Johnson family home, Reynold naturally followed them to the hospital.Only after seeing the doctor treat Luc

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
