After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 255
The warmth had faded from his demeanor, replaced by a sense of seriousness and oppression. Lucas' strikingly handsome face remained emotionless as he coldly said, "Of course I remember. If it weren't for that incident, Mr. Reynold, you wouldn't have walked away unscathed from what had happened."Reynold's expression darkened instantly. Lucas was using past events to threaten him, just as he had tried to remind Lucas of them. Impressive, indeed!Reynold took a deep breath and said, "Lucas, this matter is my fault for failing to discipline my daughter properly. I apologize to you and Miss Aveline. I have a diamond mine under my name. I'll arrange for its transfer to you tomorrow. Will that suffice?"He was willing to embarrass himself and even give up a diamond mine to protect Rebecca from punishment, showing just how much he pampered his daughter. Rebecca's arrogance and unruliness stemmed from her father's unrestrained indulgence.“Reynold's offer was sincere, leaving Lucas with no r

Lucas leaned in close, his hot breath ghosting over Aveline's ear. Despite the warmth of his proximity, his words carried an icy edge. "You know I'm injured, yet your concern lies elsewhere. Tell me, Aveline, why does another man occupy your thoughts while I—your husband—am right here beside you?"His teeth-clenched tone sounded like he wanted to devour her alive.Aveline's body stiffened, and her heart pounded. What was he saying? Was he jealous?Impossible.He didn't love her!How could he be jealous?Aveline thought Lucas might be irritated because she kept mentioning another man after he had done so much to save her.Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, and she said, " I... I'll stop mentioning him. Please don't be upset. It's not good for your recovery."Her tone softened noticeably.Lucas wasn’t planning to let her off so easily, but hearing her gentle voice, his anger dissipated instantly.He stared at her profile, her fluttering lashes. Suddenly, he kissed her ear, feeling her body

Aveline was startled and quickly dodged. "Lucas, behave yourself."Lucas gazed at her intently without saying a word.Aveline took a deep breath, pulled out the belt, and then removed his trousers...At the last moment, she turned around abruptly. "I just remembered I haven't packed my things. I'll go do that now."As she spoke, she was about to leave.Lucas asked, "What things do you need to pack?"Without turning back, Aveline replied, "Clothes. I haven't washed the clothes I changed out of. I'll go wash them."She swiftly withdrew her hand from his grasp and retreated into the guest bedroom.Lucas' breath deepened as he glanced down, then headed towards the master bedroom.Leaning against the door, Aveline covered her face with her hands, trying to calm herself down. She had almost lost control and gave in to her desire!Recalling the sight of his gradually aroused state, Aveline felt a rush of heat. She quickly went to the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water.When she ca

Upon entering the room, Aveline found Lucas seated at the desk, his demeanor cool and focused on the computer screen, deeply engrossed in his work.Aveline paused for a moment, then took her suitcase to the guest bedroom before returning. "It's late. You should get some rest."Lucas responded with a simple nod, closed his laptop, and headed towards the bedroom.Watching him disappear into the bedroom, Aveline breathed a sigh of relief.She went to her own room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed. However, every time she closed her eyes, the image of that fierce mastiff flashed before her, keeping her awake.She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair.After the scare she had today, she should be able to sleep soundly, but she couldn't fall asleep. What should she do?Suddenly, she remembered the wine cabinet in the living room, stocked with plenty of red wine. She got out of bed, grabbed a bottle, and started drinking.A bit of wine might help her sleep.However, the wine had

The next day.As Aveline's eyes fluttered open, she found herself face-to-face with a man's well-defined chest. Her gaze widened in sudden realization.She quickly sat up, taking in her unfamiliar surroundings. This wasn't her room—it was the master bedroom!What was going on?How did she end up in the master bedroom?She hastily looked down at her clothes, finding them intact, and felt no soreness or discomfort in her body, which made her sigh in relief."What are you worried about?"A hoarse, slightly lazy voice sounded just then.Aveline turned her head to see Lucas half-squinting his eyes, looking like he had just woken up, his whole demeanor exuding casual laziness."Why am I in your room?"Lucas laughed and said, "I was going to ask you the same question. Why are you in my room?"He slowly sat up, the quilt sliding off, revealing the open neckline of his robe and the firm muscles underneath.With a teasing look, he said, "You didn't sneak into my room because you were lonely, did

She took several deep breaths to calm herself before walking over to him and tugging at the belt of his robe.Lucas watched her actions with a slight raise of his eyebrow. The next moment, he noticed a blush creeping up her fair face.A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes as he remained still, watching her intently.Aveline dressed him in a shirt first, followed by trousers. While threading the belt, she accidentally brushed against his private part.Lucas immediately grabbed her wrist, his voice low and questioning, "Aveline, are you doing this on purpose?"Aveline was already blushing, but she forced herself to remain calm. "If you can't control yourself, how is that my fault?"Lucas stared at her for a long moment before releasing her hand. "Continue."Aveline's lashes fluttered as she fastened the belt buckle. When she finally finished, she turned away and exhaled a deep breath.“It's finally done,” she thought.But the thought of having to take care of him like this for many d

Aveline put down her phone and looked at him. "Taking care of you doesn’t require me to buy local specialties.”Lucas responded, "Eating the local specialties might help me recover faster."Aveline sighed and stood up. "Fine, but you better eat them all!"Lucas watched her storm out, feeling irritated himself. He tugged at his tie, feeling a growing sense of frustration. Things hadn't always been like this.A year ago, they were so happy together.Lucas closed his eyes briefly.Aveline quickly returned within an hour, setting down the local specialties in front of him and raising her chin. "Here you go. Enjoy your meal."Lucas's temple throbbed. "Aveline, are you doing this on purpose?"Aveline spoke earnestly. "These are Arthur Town's specialties. Look at this colorful bracelet, isn't it pretty? And this intricately embroidered handkerchief is a true cultural gem. You wanted local specialties, and I brought you all of them."She pulled out a chair and sat in front of him. "Lucas, I di

The next second, the tickling sensation returned to her cheek. Annoyed, she opened her eyes."What are you doing?"Lucas stood by the bed, releasing her hair. “You slept soundly," he said coldly.Aveline, already cranky from being woken up, glared at him. "Do you need something?"Wasn't he supposed to be busy with work? Why did he have to bother her?Lucas, seeing her on the verge of exploding, let out a low chuckle. He ruffled her messy hair and said, "Get ready. We're going out."With that, he turned and left the guest bedroom.Aveline, feeling frustrated, grabbed a pillow and threw it at the door.Half an hour later, Aveline emerged from the guest room and asked coolly, "Where are we going?"Lucas tossed her a jacket. "You'll find out when we get there."She dutifully helped him wear his jacket, then walked straight to the door without a moment's hesitation.Lucas watched her slender back, his eyes darkening slightly.It was already dusk. The sky was ablaze with vibrant sunset clo

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
