After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 36
Aveline tried to get up, but he pulled her back down."What are you—mmph..."Before she could finish, his fierce kiss silenced her. Aveline tried to push him away, but he grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head.The kiss grew more intense, spreading to her neck, her collarbone...Their breathing became erratic.Staring at the intricate ceiling, Aveline's eyes filled with tears. "Lucas, I'm not your tool for venting your emotions. If you still appreciate that I saved you once, please let me go."Please stop this. It was really painful for her. He was supposed to take responsibility for another woman, yet he kept entangling with her over and over. What was the point? Wasn't he the one who wanted a divorce?Couldn't he be decisive about it?Lucas' breath on her collarbone grew heavier, but finally, he let her go and got out of bed, heading to the bathroom.Aveline slowly lowered her hands, closed her eyes, and exhaled a deep breath, feeling a wave of disappointment wash over her.

"Let's go," Lucas said as he stood up, blocking her view.Aveline looked at him. "Huh?"Lucas looked down at her. "Aren't we going to the lawyer’s office?"Aveline lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. She got up and followed him out of the Tudor residence.As she glanced back at the expansive and luxurious villa, she couldn't help but say, "What a shame, I won't be able to come here anymore."She did like this place."You can still come," Lucas suddenly said.Aveline looked at him, meeting his dark, intense eyes. She smiled and replied, "No thanks. It would be awkward if I ran into you and Miss Winter getting cozy."Lucas's brow furrowed, and his demeanor grew colder.He stopped looking at her and got into the car.Aveline took the front passenger seat, but the driver didn't start the car.She blinked in confusion. "What's the hold-up? Let's go."The driver was sweating nervously. "Could you please sit in the back?"Aveline turned to look at Lucas. Sure enough, he looked even more

Aveline hung up the phone and turned to Lucas. "I need to go back to the office."Lucas's expression was cold. "No, we’ll file for divorce first."Aveline felt a pang in her chest but responded, "I can divorce you anytime, but I can't lose my job. You know I rely on this job to make a living."Lucas' dark eyes stared at her for a long moment before he finally said, "Go to the office."The driver immediately changed direction.As soon as they got out of the car, Aveline hurried towards the elevator. She got in just as it arrived and pressed the close button without waiting for Lucas. But just before the doors closed, a hand reached in, triggering the sensors to reopen the doors.Aveline sighed. Couldn't he have taken the other elevator?Lucas's tall figure entered, making the elevator feel even smaller. Aveline stood in the corner, opening the project files on her phone to review all the details and ensure she was prepared to discuss them with her manager.When the elevator doors opened

Aveline texted, “Selena, can you find out Brighton Enterprises' CEO's schedule?”Selena replied, “I'll try!”Aveline turned off her phone and waited quietly.In the CEO's office, Desmond explained the situation to Lucas and then asked, "Mr. Tudor, should we arrange a meeting with Brighton Enterprises?"Lucas replied, "No need."Desmond was taken aback. "But if this isn't handled well, Miss Young might lose her job."Since the incident happened under her watch, if she couldn't manage it and find the leaker, she would take the fall. Getting fired would be the least of her worries. If rumors spread that she leaked company secrets, she wouldn't be able to work in the industry anymore.Lucas looked at the documents on his desk, his expression calm and distant. "She can handle it."His tone was confident as if he knew her very well. And he did. With her personality, she wouldn't take the blame quietly.Desmond looked at him, feeling conflicted. They were about to divorce, yet Lucas still s

Russell looked at her in surprise., thinking she was completely different from how she acted at the bar that night, drinking like crazy and unstoppable."It's fine," Russell said, glancing at his clothes before adding, "Was this also an accident?"Aveline felt even more embarrassed. "This really was an accident. How about you give me your jacket, and I'll clean it for you?"Russell chuckled. "Here? Now?"Aveline frowned. "I'm Aveline Young from DK Group's Cloudflare City branch. You can send the jacket to my office, and I'll have it cleaned and returned to you."Her sense of boundaries and distance was well executed."Aveline..." Russell silently repeated her name, then said, "Alright, I'll remember you."With that, he turned and walked away.Aveline sighed in relief. Thankfully, he didn't pursue the matter. She really didn't want any more trouble.On the second floor, near the railing, Sophia watched below with a look of surprise. Aveline was here too? How did she get in? Seeing th

When the servers saw that Aveline still hadn't shown them an invitation, they stepped forward to drag her away. Just then, someone approached and pulled Aveline behind him."Mr. Skyler." the servers immediately became respectful upon seeing the newcomer.Russell looked at them coolly. "What were you planning to do to my guest, hmm?"The servers were horrified. "I'm sorry, Mr. Skyler. We didn't know this lady was with you."Russell's tone turned icy. "Get out of my sight, and don't let me see you on this yacht again!"The two servers hurried away, silently cursing whoever told them there was an uninvited guest. They had gotten scolded for nothing!Russell turned to see Aveline looking a bit dazed. He smiled. "What a coincidence, we meet again."Aveline thought to herself that on a yacht this size, it wasn't that surprising to run into someone again. But he had just helped her out, so she smiled slightly. "Thank you."Russell's charmingly mischievous face lit up with a teasing smile. Des

Lucas' dark eyes stared intently at their backs, a chilling aura growing around him, making others afraid to approach."Lucas."Sophia walked over, her face filled with concern as she looked at him. "Are you alright?"She frowned. "What does Miss Young mean by this? Although you’re about to divorce, she is still your wife. How could she show you no respect at all? Walking away with Mr. Skyler, it's outrageous."Lucas withdrew his gaze indifferently and said calmly, "I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving first."Without looking at Sophia's expression, he turned and walked away in another direction.Sophia's expression froze slightly.She felt a sense of crisis.Aveline clearly had a special place in Lucas's heart.How could this be?She had worked so hard to get where she was today, even losing a leg in the process. She absolutely couldn't let anyone take her place!……On the other side, Aveline looked at Russell. "Mr. Skyler, I'll treat you to a meal another day, but I have so

Aveline wasn’t concerned about when Lucas was there to give her the coat; she immediately ran towards Henry."Mr. Brighton, I'm sorry, just give me one minute. After that, you can decide if you want to hear more."Henry looked at the girl standing in front of him, feeling she seemed familiar. Seeing her face pale from the cold, he finally stopped."Alright, one minute."However, he wasn't overly kind, so he lifted his wristwatch and started timing.Aveline took a deep breath and began explaining her ideas and thoughts.Time passed slowly...At some point, Henry stopped checking his watch and watched Aveline with interest instead.When she finally stopped, she smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away and went over time..."Ten minutes had passed. She had only covered the key points; explaining the entire plan and concept would take a whole morning.Henry nodded approvingly. "Your ideas are indeed impressive."Aveline bowed to him. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity

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
