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

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was

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
