After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 480
This man was a glutton! How could he eat so much? That was two dishes and a soup—enough food for two days, gone in one sitting!Aveline grew even angrier. Tomorrow, she would definitely change the password for the building’s elevator and replace the lock on the door! She had plenty of money now, so she could afford it!Fuming, Aveline stormed into the kitchen, expecting a mess. To her surprise, she found the pots of food still kept warm. Her anger turned to surprise. She let out a sarcastic laugh, grabbed the warmed food, and began eating. She was really hungry....The next day.Aveline watched the locksmith change the lock and then updated the elevator’s password before heading to work.Maria arrived early today but looked exhausted.Aveline asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you? Pulled an all-nighter?"Maria yawned. "You bet. These past couple of days have been so busy, my hormones are all out of whack. I'm starting to feel less fabulous."Aveline chuckled. "Then go home and get

Aveline immediately turned her head to look around. Apart from the partially constructed buildings, she saw nothing else. However, the sensation of being watched was very real.The sun blazed down, its heat making her feel a chill despite the warmth. It was already late autumn. She tightened her beige trench coat around herself and walked briskly. This area felt unsafe, so she decided to complete her inspection and leave as quickly as possible....Several luxury cars pulled up at the construction site entrance. The foreman's face was full of flattery as he handed over a safety helmet."Mr. Tudor, it's dangerous here. Why did you come personally?"Lucas, tall and poised in a black coat, exuded a chilly, noble air with every movement. His sharp features and handsome face radiated authority.Desmond took the safety helmet and handed it to Lucas. As Lucas put it on, he replied, "Am I not allowed to come?"The foreman was momentarily speechless. Lucas, despite his young age, had an unexpe

Aveline responded, "Haha, very funny."Lucas smirked. "Glad you think so."Unable to hold back, Aveline rolled her eyes and pulled her arm free, heading directly for the exit. Despite her quick pace, Lucas effortlessly kept up, as if he were just taking a leisurely stroll.Aveline was speechless and thought it must be nice to have long legs.Others watched the scene in surprise. The foreman looked at Desmond and asked, "Mr. Blake, what's going on?"Desmond didn't answer his question. Instead, he pointed to a design on the blueprint and asked, "What does this section mean?"The foreman immediately focused on explaining, drawing attention away from Lucas and Aveline.Once outside the construction site, Aveline headed towards the subway station. Lucas continued to follow her, his steady footsteps echoing behind her, each step feeling like it was pressing on her heart.Aveline grew increasingly irritated. They were divorced; why was he still clinging to her?She turned to him. "What exactl

Aveline looked at him. "And the conclusion?"Lucas stepped closer and blew the smoke directly in her face. "The conclusion is, the colder you are, the more I like you."Aveline was momentarily speechless. She couldn't quite grasp what he was thinking anymore.She lowered her eyes slightly, waiting for the smoke to disperse in the wind, then asked, "Lucas, is it because you liked me during that year we were together, or did you start liking me later?"Lucas responded, "Does it make a difference?"Aveline replied, "Maybe not, but I just want to know."Lucas took a drag from his cigarette, his cheeks hollowing in a way that exuded a mature sensuality. "I don't know."Aveline said calmly, "But the person I liked was the you from that year, not the you now. The you now is really detestable."Her expression was serene, her eyes devoid of any emotion. After saying this, she turned and walked away.Lucas' hand trembled slightly as he held his cigarette, feeling as if a knife had pierced his ch

"So, even though we're divorced, you won't consider my feelings at all, will you?" Aveline's voice was so soft it seemed like it might be carried away by the wind.Lucas loosened his grip on her wrist slightly. "Aveline, you can reconsider. We can remarry."Aveline jerked her wrist free with force. "No way. I will never remarry you!"Her eyes were icy cold as she turned and walked away quickly.Lucas stared at his empty hand, his gaze darkening. He watched her leave, then pulled out a cigarette and took a deep drag.Divorce? Never in this lifetime. Even in death, she would still be his!...Aveline didn't return to the studio. In the afternoon, she met up with Selena for grilled fish. The spicy dish warmed her from the inside out.Selena asked, "Now that you're divorced, what's your plan?"Aveline replied, "Finish the projects I'm working on, then quit and leave Cloudflare City."Selena's eyes lit up. "Where to? Take me with you!"Aveline said, "I haven't decided yet. I just know I do

Judy's voice was gentle and apologetic. "Sorry, he's in the shower. I'll let him know you called when he's done."Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Where exactly is he showering?"Judy was taken aback. Despite the suggestive context, Aveline kept probing. Still, she replied, "At a hotel."Aveline pressed on, "What's he doing at a hotel?"Judy was speechless.She glanced at the phone, doubting whether it was really Aveline on the other end. Any other woman would have hung up by now, right?Judy held her composure and said, "Miss Young, I'll let Lucas explain when he gets out."Aveline replied, "You can use his phone, but you can't tell me what you're doing at a hotel?"Judy fell silent.Selena stood nearby, covering her mouth to stifle her laughter, tears almost escaping from her eyes.Aveline shot her a glance and then told Judy, "You don't need to hang up. Just give him the phone when he's out. Meanwhile, we can chat."Judy was speechless once again, thinking, “Are you crazy? Who wants to

Selena looked at her with a touch of sympathy in her eyes. "My dear Aveline, if I had known, I never would have brought that awful man home."Aveline smiled wryly and said, "So, remember, never pick up a random man off the street."Selene kept quiet.When Lucas called, they were both in the media room watching a movie. Aveline glanced at her phone and then turned to Selena. "You keep watching. I need to take this call."Selena nodded and waved her off.Aveline stepped out of the media room, closed the door, and answered the phone. "Hello?"Lucas' deep, magnetic voice came through, "What do you need?"Aveline asked, "Done showering?"Lucas paused. "What shower?"Aveline explained what had happened earlier, her tone calm. "I thought you wouldn’t call me back so quickly."After all, it was only natural she would expect him to be engaged in some other activities after showering.Lucas' voice grew colder. "So, hearing another woman talk about me showering didn’t bother you at all?"Aveline

What exactly was their relationship?Judy clenched her fingers, then said, "Lucas, you still care about Miss Young, don't you? The reason I said that was to provoke her a little. What if she still has feelings for you? Hearing something like that would surely make her jealous and upset. I'm sorry, I overstepped. It won't happen again."In the dim light, Lucas's handsome face appeared cold and stern, his chiseled features sharp and unyielding. His eyes were devoid of warmth as he looked at Judy."Your actions were out of line," he said coolly, giving her no leniency.Judy's face showed a flash of embarrassment, and she quickly said, "I promise, it won't happen again."Lucas didn't spare her another glance. He turned to Desmond and said, "Get me a new phone."He handed his phone to Desmond, instructing him to transfer the data and switch the SIM card."Yes, sir."Desmond took the phone and left.In the private room, the suited men saw Lucas return and immediately stood to toast him."Mr.

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“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
