After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 436
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

Lucas drove straight back to the Tudor Estate.Aveline was speechless. He had lied about buying gifts.She got out of the car, expressionless, and headed inside.“Where are you going?” Lucas grabbed her arm.“It’s late. Time to rest,” Aveline said.“We can rest later,” Lucas replied, guiding her toward another part of the estate.The Tudor Estate was vast, with many areas Aveline had never explored. As they reached a doorway, Lucas opened the door to reveal a room filled with an array of collectibles.“What’s all this?” Aveline asked, surprised.“Pick something to give to Grandma,” Lucas said.Aveline walked in, seeing glass cabinets showcasing various items under direct lighting. The room was filled with antiques, paintings, crystals, gemstones, and jewelry.Each item had a price tag beneath it. Some were purchased, while others were acquired at auctions. All were incredibly expensive.Aveline couldn’t help but gawk at the long strings of zeros on the price tags.This was insane!Stan

She was lost in thought, wondering when she could finalize the divorce as quickly as possible.Lucas approached her and extended his hand. Aveline was wearing an elegant black gown that accentuated her noble features. Her delicate facial features were beautifully highlighted, with a hint of innocence in her mesmerizing eyes. Her slender waist curved gracefully into her hips.Aveline placed her hand in his.Lucas gripped it tightly, his eyes swirling with intense emotion as he said in a deep voice, "Ave, you look stunning."Aveline smiled softly. "Thank you. Did you just realize that?"Lucas was at a loss for words. He felt somewhat helpless but wasn't angry. The tenderness in his eyes only grew stronger.Taking Aaron's advice, he had been treating her warmly. Though Aveline still resisted him, their interactions over the past couple days had been relatively pleasant. If things continued this way, perhaps their life together wouldn't be unbearable after all.The two left the Tudor ma

Lucas turned to look at her and noticed her cold expression. Her eyes were now filled with frost.If he told her to leave now, she would undoubtedly walk away without hesitation.Lucas' face darkened as he said quietly, "You don't need to care about what others think."Aveline looked at him and smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Lucas, all of this that I'm enduring - it's because of you. You owe me compensation."Lucas was taken aback. "Have you become obsessed with money?"Aveline shrugged. "If I can't have love, can't I at least have money?"Hearing this, Lucas' expression grew even more unpleasant, his entire demeanor chilling several degrees.Aveline looked away and asked, "Where's Grandma?"Lucas also averted his gaze, his aura softening as he tried to calm himself. No longer wanting love? Was that something one could simply decide?Lucas led her upstairs.They arrived at an open door on the second floor. Inside, several people surrounded Barbara. Aaron was by her side, te

" So that's Lucas' wife. She's quite pretty!""She used her looks to cling onto Lucas. Rumor has it she saved him when he had amnesia, then married him. After Lucas regained his memories, she refused to divorce him.""Tsk, once she latched onto that money tree, how could she let go so easily?""Just watch, the Tudor family has been ensnared by this woman!"Whispers and murmurs arose from the crowd.The onlookers' gazes were either curious or contemptuous, with no hint of kindness.Aveline took it all in, lowering her eyes slightly with a polite smile on her face.After the lengthy congratulatory speeches ended, the banquet began.Barbara kept holding Aveline's hand, showing no interest in going to eat.Yvonne said, "Aveline, why don't you stay with Madam Barbara for a while? We need to go entertain the guests.""Alright," Aveline nodded.She was eager to leave such an uncomfortable situation anyway.She wheeled Barbara away from the courtyard and straight to the garden, where it was qu

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

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
