Aveline struggled even more fiercely. "Lucas, get off me!"But Lucas didn't move. He didn't apply much force to her hand, just held her tighter, his breath growing heavier. Aveline's face flushed deeply as his heavy breathing near her ear stimulated her nerves. She turned her head and bit his shoulder.Lucas grunted, his breath becoming even more erratic.After a long while...He carried her to the bathroom, looking at the marks on her nightgown, his eyes darkened, though his handsome face remained indifferent."I’m not crippled. I can wash myself," Aveline said coldly.Lucas stared at her for a moment before turning to leave.The moment the door closed, Aveline ripped off the nightgown and threw it straight into the trash. She finished washing up and put on a bathrobe, relieved to find Lucas was not in the bedroom when she returned.After changing clothes, she went downstairs. The butler said, "Ma'am, breakfast is ready.""Okay," Aveline replied, heading directly to the dining room.

Selena muttered to herself, "What's so great about that jerk Lucas anyway? He doesn't even like Aveline and won't agree to a divorce." Every time she thought about him, she had to spit in disgust. "Ugh, what bad luck!"...Fifteen minutes later.Aveline appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. Selena immediately rushed over, pulling her to a seat and pointing to a guy delivering food not far away. "Look, there he is."Aveline looked over and saw Sidney in a waiter’s uniform, delivering meals.Selena raised her hand. "Waiter!"Sidney responded instinctively, "Yes, how can I help you?" He turned and saw Aveline smiling at him. Sidney was startled but then smiled back as he approached. "Miss Young, when did you get here?"Aveline replied, "I just arrived. Why are you working here as a waiter?"Sidney's eyes flickered as he said, "I was let go, so I came here."Aveline's brow furrowed. "What happened? Why were you dismissed?"Selena scoffed, "It must be that bastard Lucas's doing! It'

Sidney would start his job tomorrow. Before he left, Aveline walked him to the elevator. Smiling, she said, "Congratulations!"Sidney gave a shy smile. "I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made up my mind to pursue my passion."Aveline responded, "I just gave you a choice. The outcome is all your own decision, so there's no need to thank me."Sidney took out his phone. "Can I add you on WhatsApp? We'll be colleagues from now on, and it'll be easier to contact you.""Sure."Aveline nodded in agreement and took out her phone, letting him scan her QR code.After they added each other, the elevator arrived. Sidney stepped inside and waved goodbye to her.Aveline returned to the office, where Maria was leaning against her desk, looking at her with amusement. "What's going on?"Aveline looked at her, puzzled. "What do you mean?"Maria pointed her chin towards the door, indicating Sidney. "You and him...?"Aveline smiled helplessly. "You're overthinking it. He's

Aveline was startled, and the small cake in her hand fell onto the soft carpet."What are you doing?" she asked, her body tensing up. His proximity immediately caused her pain, revealing just how intense her body's reaction to him was.The bedroom was pitch black. They couldn't see each other clearly, but Aveline could feel Lucas' gloomy gaze fixed on her, his hot breath hitting her face, his overpowering presence enveloping her.Aveline hated this feeling. Being completely controlled by him with no escape made her feel suffocated."Lucas, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" she asked again when he remained silent.Suddenly, Lucas kissed her. The hot breath mixed with the taste of tobacco flooded Aveline's senses.Aveline let out a muffled groan and struggled. However, Lucas seemed to anticipate her resistance. He grabbed her wrists, twisted them behind her back, and pressed her into his chest.His kiss was scorching. Their breaths entangled in a chaotic mess...Lucas, li

"Lucas, are you out of your mind?" Aveline was speechless.She had done nothing, and yet he was suggesting arranging a room for her with another man. Was he out of his mind?Lucas stared at her intensely for a long time before saying, "Aveline, you can't accept another man, nor can you love another man. If I find out, you might not die, but that man will wish he was dead."His tone was serious, a grave warning. The possessiveness in his eyes was utterly undisguised.Aveline pressed her lips together, her gaze complicated as she looked at him. If he had shown this behavior before, she would have been overjoyed. But after everything that had happened, hearing these words from him only left her feeling indifferent.She lowered her eyes slightly. "Can I go wash up now? I've been busy all day, and I'm really tired."Lucas looked at her for another moment before finally letting her go.Aveline walked towards the bathroom.Lucas called a servant to clean up the ruined cake.When Aveline came

Aveline's mind was truly in turmoil. Soon, the sound of running water from the bathroom came, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gradually, she relaxed, hugging herself.Just as she was about to fall asleep, the bed beside her dipped, and Lucas, his body slightly cool and damp from the shower, lay down next to her, hugging her tightly.Aveline didn't move or struggle.Lucas kissed her shoulder. "Good night, my wife."Aveline's eyelashes trembled, but she still didn't respond....The next day.When Aveline arrived at work, she saw that Sidney was already there. He was wearing a clean white shirt, looking bright and handsome, exuding the energy of a young man.Zoe was chatting with him, and Sidney was smiling as he answered her.Seeing Aveline, Sidney immediately stood up and walked over. "Good morning, Miss Young!"Aveline gave a faint smile. "We're colleagues now, you can call me Aveline."Sidney, a bit embarrassed, rubbed his nose. "Aveline.""Yes, good morning." Aveline no

Lucas didn't hang up after speaking. She could hear the sound of him getting out of the car, followed by the hurried footsteps.Aveline gripped her phone tightly, her hand repeatedly pressing the close button. This time, the elevator doors finally closed.Her heart, which had been in her throat, suddenly eased."The elevator doors closed," Aveline said, realizing her legs had gone weak."Don't get out until you reach the first floor," Lucas instructed."Okay," Aveline replied, keeping the call connected.Fortunately, the elevator soon reached the first floor. By then, the building was empty.When the elevator doors opened, she saw Lucas standing at the entrance and rushed out to him.Lucas immediately embraced her, his voice soothing. "It's okay. I'll find out what happened."Wrapped in his cool scent, Aveline finally relaxed, but a wave of lingering fear washed over her. Her nose tingled, and tears threatened to fall, but she held them back.Lucas held her as they left the building. O

Barbara's words left everyone in the living room stunned.Lucas's expression grew tense as he knelt in front of Barbara, asking, "Grandma, do you remember things now?"Barbara reached out and touched his head. "Of course I remember. I'm not senile. Weren't you planning to marry Sophia? Why didn't you bring her along today?"Lucas sensed something was wrong. Pointing to Aveline, he asked, "Do you remember her?"Barbara looked in Aveline's direction and shook her head. "No, who is she? Is she a new servant in the house?"Aveline felt as if she had been slapped hard. Previously, when Barbara was confused, she often mistook Sophia for a servant and treated her exceptionally well. Now, it was the opposite.Lucas stood up and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."Barbara frowned, her old face full of confusion. "Why go to the hospital? I feel fine."Lucas insisted, "Just a check-up. Please listen to me."Barbara was reluctant, but no one could stop Lucas once he made up his mind.Barbara wa

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
