After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 277
"Awake?"At that moment, a deep, pleasant male voice resonated.Aveline pursed her lips and turned her head to see Lucas sitting on a chair, a laptop in front of him. He wasn’t in his usual formal attire but was instead wearing a white bathrobe, sitting casually on the sofa. The robe's collar was slightly open, revealing a hint of his chest muscles, marked with a few clear scratch lines."Lucas, do you find this amusing?" Aveline asked.Lucas chuckled softly at her words. "Amusing? Yes, it's incredibly amusing."He stood up and walked over to her, bending down to stroke her face, his eyes filled with a playful glint. "Having a woman to sleep with, feeling this good—how could I not find that amusing?"Aveline looked at him coldly, not getting triggered by his provocation. She slowly sat up, allowing the blanket to slide off, exposing the marks on her skin.Lucas' eyes darkened as he looked at her.Aveline smirked. "Well, if that's the case, I also find it rather amusing. Sleeping with

Desmond continued, "Please, just consider it as a favor for Mr. Tudor, who saved you."Aveline closed her eyes and said, "Alright."Desmond breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, I'll send you the address." He hung up the phone immediately.As Aveline glanced at her phone, she couldn't shake the thought that Lucas would likely use having saved her as leverage whenever he needed something from her. But then again, hadn't it always been because of him that she found herself in trouble?She changed her clothes and headed out to the bar. Even in the dim light, she immediately spotted Lucas on the second floor. His distinguished and cold aura was impossible to ignore. However, there was a woman sitting next to him—Sophia. She had come to Arthur Town.Aveline watched them silently. She saw Sophia talking to Lucas, and he wasn’t drinking anymore. Who said she was the only one who could persuade him? Clearly, Sophia could do that too.As she saw Lucas reach out to Sophia, Aveline averted he

“Sit in the front passenger seat,” Lucas commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.Sophia had no choice but to comply. "Okay."Back at Celestial Heights, Sophia followed Lucas to the entrance of the presidential suite. Desmond took out a key card, his heart pounding.Once inside, Sophia said, "There are so many rooms here. Let me stay. It'll be easier to take care of you, okay?"Lucas’ cheeks were still flushed. He looked around the suite, but there was no sign of Aveline. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes, then told Desmond, "Instruct the manager to open another room.""Yes, sir." Desmond nodded, then turned to Sophia. "Miss Winter, please come with me."Sophia looked at Lucas. "Lucas, let me stay here. I promise I won't disturb you. I can cook for you and take care of you. Please?"Lucas responded, "It's not appropriate."Sophia's expression faltered. Lucas had made his stance clear, and pushing further would only annoy him, especially since he had already told her thei

She reached out and touched her chest, feeling a faint, lingering pain within. She closed her eyes, her mind replaying the memories of the past days. Since Lucas regained his memory, this was the first time they had spent such a peaceful period together. Initially, she had been avoiding him, but fate had brought them back together. This time felt stolen—filled with arguments, sweetness, and heart-pounding moments. She thought that these memories would likely stay with her for a long time....Brian stood in a concealed spot, looking at the rundown motel, and dialed Desmond’s number."What's up?" Desmond asked."Miss Young is staying at a motel," Brian replied, glancing at Lucas, who was in a meeting, and lowered his voice. "Okay, I understand. Just make sure she's safe."Hanging up, Desmond waited for an opportunity to inform Lucas about the situation. The meeting was wrapping up, and people began to file out.Lucas, seated at the head of the table, rubbed his temples and said, "De

Lucas said, "When you shot down the idea back then, I figured that was it. I didn’t expect you to come to me two years later asking me to marry you.”Sophia met Lucas's gaze, her eyes full of earnest emotion. "Lucas, I was stubborn before. I didn't want to feel trapped by marriage so young. But things are different now. I want a life with you — a real future together, a place we can call our own."Lucas replied, "But Sophia, I'm already married now."Sophia said, "But you told me you would divorce her."Lucas responded, "I wasn't thinking clearly before. I subconsciously felt that since you saved me, I should take responsibility by marrying you. But I've realized that taking responsibility doesn't necessarily mean I have to marry you. I can do it in other ways. Sophia, let's just let this go."His tone was as calm as ever, reminiscent of their time together in the past. But Sophia could read between the lines.He was tolerating her for now, but his patience had limits. She knew him too

Sophia said weakly, "Put me down, I'm fine."Desmond insisted, "Let me carry you. We'll get to the hospital quicker that way. Miss Winter, we can't risk making your leg worse."Sophia pressed her lips together and remained silent.Lucas glanced at Desmond, a faint trace of approval in his eyes.At the hospital, the doctor examined Sophia's leg and then said, "There's nothing wrong."Sophia's face was pale. "Then why does it hurt so much?"The doctor replied, "It could be a nerve issue. Would you like to have it checked in the neurology department?"Lucas said, "Let's check everything.""Alright."The doctor immediately made the arrangements.Sophia glanced at Lucas. "I apologize for causing you concern again. My leg always hurts, but I still haven't gotten used to it."She stared at her prosthetic leg, a hint of desolation on her face. She was reminding Lucas that she lost her leg because of him. No matter what, he would always owe her.Lucas asked, "Considering how often it hurts, hav

“Aveline, we need to talk,” Lucas said, walking up to her, his eyes fixed on her.“What about?” Aveline asked.Without answering, Lucas took her hand and led her upstairs. Aveline frowned slightly but didn’t pull away.Once back in the presidential suite, Lucas pulled her to sit on the sofa and said, “About us.”Aveline’s lashes fluttered as she responded, “There’s nothing to talk about between us. Miss Winter came to see you, so let’s finalize the divorce.”Lucas’ face darkened, but he remained patient. “I’ve made it clear to Sophia that I won’t marry her. You’re right, there are many ways to repay a debt, and marriage isn’t the only one. So, I won’t marry her.”He tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes locked onto hers. “Now, are we still getting divorced?”Aveline’s heart trembled. Everything that had happened recently felt like a dream. She had been uncertain but hearing his words and feeling the emotions welling up inside her, she suddenly felt a surge of impulse.But she held

"What's wrong?" Lucas averted his gaze and said blandly, "Nothing."Aveline found his behavior puzzling. After eating only half a bowl of oatmeal, she put down her spoon. "I'm full."Lucas pushed a bowl of soup towards her. "Drink this, or I won't let you sleep."Aveline frowned, showing her reluctance. However, Lucas' words carried enough authority that she picked up the spoon and started drinking. Throughout the meal, Lucas' intense gaze never left her, making her uncomfortable. She sighed in exasperation and said, "I'm still sick. Can you stop staring at me like that?"Lucas scoffed lightly. "Isn't it you who’s trying to seduce me?"Aveline’s eyes widened instantly. "Me... seduce you? What nonsense are you talking about?"How could she possibly be seducing him?Lucas’ gaze drifted to her chest with a hint of amusement. Aveline looked down and saw her nipples protruding through her thin nightgown. Her face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly covered her chest and got up to lea

After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1143
Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

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
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1139
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
