After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 432
The group couldn't help but remember the first time Aveline visited Russell's bar and got drunk. She clung to Russell and wouldn't let go!Aveline, however, seemed unfazed and said, "It's just beer, one bottle won't hurt."Selena chimed in, "If Aveline says one bottle is fine, then one bottle it is!"Russell smiled, took the beer, and popped the tab.Just as he was about to drink, there was a knock on the door.Selena was puzzled. "Who could it be at this hour?"Aveline looked equally confused.Russell, unfazed, took a sip of his beer, acting as if he didn't care who it was.Selena opened the door and saw two people standing there. She immediately tried to close it.Aaron quickly blocked it, smirking. "Why are you closing the door? Feeling guilty about something?"Selena snapped back, "Are you crazy? Can't you see I don't want you here? Besides, this is my house. If I want to close the door, I will. What’s it to you?"Aaron's face darkened with annoyance.This woman... she's infuriatin

Aveline's brows furrowed.Aaron's words were dripping with disdain! He was practically calling Russell out as an illegitimate child, saying he didn't belong to the Skyler family.He was being too harsh!Russell's delicate and handsome face maintained its smile as he responded, "It's true you can't choose your birth, but you can choose your path in life. Who says an illegitimate child can't pursue what they want? Whether it's power or love, it's all worth pursuing."As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Aveline, brimming with a warm smile and a hint of deeper emotions beneath the surface.The others might not notice, but Lucas clearly saw the possessiveness and ambition in Russell's gaze towards Aveline.He wanted to take Aveline away!"Well said!" Selena chimed in, giving Russell a thumbs up. "Way to go, Russ. Status doesn't matter. Some people have legitimate status but do despicable things. What's the point in that?"Aaron glared at her, biting his tongue.This woman! Just last night, th

“You’re asking me? What do you think you’re doing?”Aaron stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at Selena from the edge of the bed. When he had thrown her onto the bed, her jacket had slipped off her shoulders, revealing the thin straps of her slip dress. Her pale skin was marked with small, reddish blooms.Aaron’s eyes darkened as he saw the marks he had left on her the previous night. His throat felt dry, and an inexplicable heat spread through his body.For a moment, he felt parched.Selena knelt on the bed, straightening up, her petite frame exuding a surprising intensity. “I’m trying to get Aveline and Lucas to divorce! Since marrying him, Aveline has been completely ruined! Are you blind? Can't you see it?”Aaron sneered. "Why do you care? Haven't you heard the saying, ‘Couples fight but make up later’? Just because they’re having problems now doesn’t mean it’ll last. What will you do then?"Pointing at her, he continued, “Use your brain for once and stop meddling in th

Selena struggled but couldn’t break free.Panic started to set in.What was this jerk thinking?Did he want to go for another round?No way!He wasn’t good in bed, so she didn't want to suffer through that again!She resisted fiercely.Her body was soft, and as she writhed beneath him, Aaron's gaze grew darker."Keep squirming, and I'll take you right now," he said in a hoarse voice.Selena froze, feeling his arousal, her face flushing with anger. "You... you better get off me right now!"Instead of getting up, Aaron held her tighter. "You’d better stay still. I’ll be done in a minute."He leaned down, his breath warm against her delicate skin, sending shivers through her.Selena stopped moving entirely, terrified of what he might do next.This man was insufferable!...Lucas stared coldly at Russell, but a wicked smile played on his lips. "Sure, go ahead and introduce him to her. I’d like to see how good this lawyer is.”Russell kept his gaze on Aveline.Aveline lowered her eyes sligh

Aveline immediately remembered that Aaron had taken Selena to the bedroom.She moved to go over to the bedroom, but Lucas blocked her."Move aside!" Aveline demanded, her face stern.Lucas grabbed her hand and whispered, "If you go in now, won't it just make things awkward for them?"Aveline paused, considering his words.Lucas continued, "Some things are mutual. If she didn't want it, no one could force her."Aveline frowned, glancing towards the bedroom. Ultimately, she decided not to intrude.Thinking about the marks on Selena and her nonchalant attitude, perhaps...Maybe she just wanted to have some fun. Once she was done, she wouldn't stick around.Aveline turned away, and they all left, closing the door behind them.The hallway was narrow, forcing them to walk single file.Lucas led the way, Aveline followed in the middle, and Russell brought up the rear.Russell said to Aveline, "I brought back something interesting with me. I'll show you when you have time."Aveline glanced bac

"Really?"Lucas stared at her fair, pure face, then suddenly leaned in, cupping the back of her head as he kissed her.His kiss was skillful, teasing her bit by bit, waiting for her to give in and respond."I don't believe you," he murmured, his breath heavy and warm as he traced the shape of her lips, his voice huskier than usual.Outside, the night deepened, the streetlights casting long shadows that barely reached the inside of the car, which remained dim and intimate. Their breaths mingled, and the temperature inside the car steadily rose.The car was parked under a tree, its shadows flickering. The dappled light cast a faint shadow over their faces.Aveline wanted to resist, but it was too late. Her body was too accustomed to Lucas' touch. So familiar that it took him no time at all to make her melt.Lucas chuckled lowly. "But your body says you like me."Aveline's eyes filled with unshed tears, her breath unsteady as she said, "My reaction is perfectly normal. Being teased by a

Lucas' eyes bore into her flushed face. "Fine, I'll handle it myself."With that, he unbuckled his belt.The sound echoed in the car, making Aveline's breath hitch, and she suddenly felt like there wasn't enough air.Her mouth went dry.The next moment, Lucas pulled her hand over."What are you doing?" Aveline gasped, instinctively pulling away.Lucas’ eyes remained fixed on her. "I'm taking matters into my own hands.""You..." Aveline started to protest, her cheeks burning fiercely. Her fingers curled slightly, bringing waves of heat.Lucas’ Adam’s apple bobbed as he continued to stare at her, his breathing growing heavier.Aveline turned her face away, deciding to let him be.Fine, she wasn't going to help."You really are heartless," Lucas's husky voice teased her senses.Aveline bit her lip gently, trying to keep any sound from escaping.She wasn't sure how long it had been. Even without actively participating, her fingers felt weak and achy. The atmosphere in the car grew even mor

Russell lowered his gaze, emotions swirling in his eyes like an inky abyss. After a long moment, he finally started his car and drove away.Upstairs.Aaron held Selena for what felt like forever.“Can you get off me already?” Selena gasped, struggling to breathe under his weight.Aaron gritted his teeth. “Want to say that again?”Feeling the heat radiating from his body, Selena didn’t dare provoke him further. After all, he had her pinned down. If she got the chance to get up, she’d definitely knock out his teeth!“They’ve all left, so you should go too,” Selena said.She had heard the sounds of them leaving clearly. It was awkward, but it didn’t really matter.Aaron lifted his head and looked at her flushed face. Her beautiful features were bare, as pure as porcelain. Her eyes were lively and shimmering, tinged with a faint redness, a clear sign of her emotions.Aaron leaned in slightly.“What are you doing? You’re not thinking of kissing me, are you?” Selena asked, her face expressio

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

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
