Lucas ate quickly, finishing the remaining food and tossing the container into the trash.

Aveline, feeling very weak, soon fell asleep again.

As the light in the room dimmed, Lucas sat on the sofa, his eyes intently fixed on her. He had grown accustomed to having her by his side; how could he let her go easily?

She wanted him to divorce her?

She'd have to wait for another lifetime!

...

The next day.

When Aveline woke up, she felt much better.

Desmond brought her breakfast, and after she finished eating, she said, "Lucas, you can't imprison me anymore."

"Okay," Lucas responded flatly.

Aveline sighed in relief and got out of bed. "I’m fine now. I want to be discharged."

She needed to see Russell! She still remembered how badly Russell had been beaten, and she felt incredibly guilty.

Lucas frowned and replied, "Your condition is for the doctor to assess."

Aveline couldn’t leave until the doctor examined her and confirmed she was well enough to be discharged.

    Aveline said, "Russ, it's just some snacks. They might help when you don't have much of an appetite."These things didn't cost her much money.Russell gave a helpless smile. With his face now bruised, his handsome yet mischievous features looked quite pitiful.Aveline sat by the bed and asked, "Are your injuries serious?"Russell coughed and replied, "It's nothing major, just a few broken bones."Aveline's breath caught, feeling even more guilty. "I'm sorry...""Come on, anyone who saw you fainting on the street would have helped. I did it willingly, so don't feel bad. If you really feel uncomfortable about it, why not cook for me while I'm in the hospital? How about that?"He smiled at her, his tone light and his eyes forgiving.Aveline nodded. "No problem, I'll make sure to feed you well!"Russell's lips twitched.Aveline realized her words were off and rubbed her nose, saying, "I'll make nourishing meals to help your bones heal quickly.""Alright."Russell agreed.Looking at her pal

    Seeing the clear hostility in Rina’s eyes, Aveline quickly said, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m married.”Hearing this, Rina immediately relaxed and asked, “Oh, you’re married? Then why are you here? Aren’t you afraid your husband will misunderstand?”Aveline was speechless.What kind of strange logic was that?Rina continued, “You should leave. I can take care of him.”Her attitude softened a bit, but she still didn’t like Aveline being there.“Rina!” Russell frowned. Rina was being incredibly rude.Rina shot him a hurt look before turning away to sulk.Aveline smiled faintly and said, “Russ, I’ll head out now. Take care and rest well.”Russell replied, “Let me have my driver take you.”“No need. I’m going to the market first,” Aveline said with a smile.Hearing this, Russell smiled. “Alright, be careful on your way.”“Will do.”As Aveline left the room, Rina immediately turned back to Russell. “Russ, who exactly is she? Why does she come here if she’s married?”Russell’s expression turned

    Aveline bought chicken, corn, and some other vegetables, and then started preparing nourishing meal as soon as she got back. Sitting on the sofa, she took out her phone and messaged Selena.Aveline texted, "I sold my house, so I’m temporarily staying at your place."Selena replied, "No problem, you can stay there as long as you need!"Aveline asked, "When are you coming back?"Selena responded, "It might be a while. The scenery here in Stonefall City is pretty nice. I’ll bring you a gift when I return."Aveline texted back, "Alright, I’ll wait for you."...Just as she exited the chat with Selena, Lucas called. She answered with a cold tone, "Hello?"Lucas asked, "When are you coming back?"Aveline replied, "Back where?"Lucas said, "The Bluewater Bay Villa. I’ve been staying here."Aveline retorted, "What does that have to do with me?"Lucas fell silent.His breathing grew heavier, and even through the phone, she could sense his shifting emotions."Aveline, we’re still married.""Ha!

    Lucas's cold eyes swept over Russell, and he sneered, "Just checking to see if Mr. Skyler has kicked the bucket yet."The smile on Russell's face faded slightly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you.""No problem. Next time I'll hit harder, and maybe I won’t get disappointed," Lucas said, pulling up a chair and sitting down. He picked up the bowl and utensils and began eating unceremoniously.Aveline immediately protested, "That’s not for you!"Lucas raised an eyebrow at her. "Isn’t food meant to be eaten?""You!" Aveline's face darkened with anger. How could this man be so shameless? Coming to the hospital to steal Russell's food without any sense of shame!Lucas clearly didn’t care. He ate with great enthusiasm.Seeing this, Russell didn't delay and started eating as well.With only one person's portion, it wasn’t long before the two men finished all the food.Aveline was speechless!Lucas put down the utensils and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. He glanced at Aveline and said, "No

    Russell said, "You're still young. It would be better for you to find a job and stay busy. Sitting idle every day will only lead to mental fatigue."Aveline replied, "Hmm, I'll consider it."Russell then offered directly, "How about joining my company? I happen to be short of staff lately."Aveline laughed. "Russ, don't joke around. I'm not capable enough. What if I mess up your work?"He looked at her intently and said, "It's okay, even if you cause a huge problem, I'll back you up."Aveline hesitated, about to say something, when the door to the ward opened again, and Rina walked in."Why are you here again?"Rina's face initially had a smile, but seeing Aveline, it vanished instantly. Her eyes filled with caution, she quickly walked over and said, "Since you're married, you shouldn't always come here. Russ is still single; others would misunderstand your relationship with him.""Rina!"Russell didn't expect her to come, but he quickly realized that someone must have called her over.

    After speaking, she turned and left.Russell looked at the delicate pink food container, then withdrew his gaze without touching it....Aveline returned to her neighborhood and smelled a faint scent of tobacco as she entered the corridor. It wasn't unusual for someone to be smoking there, so she didn't pay it much attention.But as she climbed the stairs and entered her apartment after inputting the code, a hand suddenly grabbed the door. With a slight force, the door was pushed open, and Aveline was shoved inside.Bang!The door slammed shut, and Aveline stared in shock."Lucas, what are you doing?"Lucas’ tall body cornered her in the entryway, his hand gripping her waist. With a slight effort, he lifted her onto the shoe cabinet.His nose touched hers, his voice husky. "My wife cooks for another man and goes to comfort him. What do you think I should do about that?"As he spoke, his grip tightened, as if he wanted to break her waist."Should I kill him, or should I deal with you, h

    Aveline's fingers trembled slightly, a hint of fear surfacing within her.Lucas' hand landed on her clothes, ready to tear them apart with a little force."If you do something crazy here, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Aveline's voice rang out, filled with shame and anger.Lucas paused, feeling the delicate fabric in his hand. It would tear easily if he applied just a bit more force. However, seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, he suddenly felt annoyed.They were husband and wife! What was wrong with being intimate? Why was she so reluctant? He had always made sure she would feel good!Lucas took out a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and reached for his lighter. As he was about to light it, he noticed her trembling eyelashes and smirked. "Light it for me."He shoved the lighter into her hand, his eyes half-closed with a playful glint.Aveline wanted to throw the lighter at his face, but since he had finally calmed down, she had to make the most of it. She held

    He previously stole food from Russell at the hospital and now came here to compete with her for more!Was this man so deprived of food?Tensions simmered at the dining table.When it came to the last piece of rib, Aveline quickly reached out, but Lucas was faster, grabbing it before she could. He raised an eyebrow at her."You can eat it, I've poisoned it," Aveline said.Lucas stared at her and began eating the rib, showing no fear at all.Aveline pressed her lips together, remembering how he had suspected her when he was poisoned by her cooking before. Yet now, even when she outright claimed to have poisoned it, he ate without hesitation.Was he certain she hadn't poisoned it, or did he simply not fear death?Suddenly, Aveline asked, "Lucas, if I really poisoned it, aren't you afraid of dying?"Lucas replied, "Before I die, I'll make sure to kill you first. We can be companions on the road to the afterlife."Aveline rose expressionlessly and walked away.Lucas watched her until she

    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

    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
