After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 50
Aveline was stunned! What was going on with him? Was he not fully conscious?She began to struggle violently, but the disparity in strength between them became evident. Her struggles only seemed to provoke him further. He grabbed both of her wrists with one hand and pinned them above her head.His scorching breath trailed down from her lips, sending a chill across her chest, quickly followed by heat and wetness.Aveline's eyes widened. "Lucas, what are you doing?"Wasn't he supposed to be sick? Yet, he seemed so full of energy. Or did he mistake her for another woman?Sophia?The thought pierced her heart, and she fiercely kneed him.All of Lucas's movements stopped, his heavy body collapsing on top of her."Get up!" Aveline twisted uncomfortably beneath him.In response, Lucas bit down angrily on her collarbone. "Aveline, do you want to live as a widow?"So, he knew who she was? But..."Are you mistaken? We're about to get divorced. How could I be a widow?" Aveline's breathing was err

"Ave, sleep a little longer," a familiar, affectionate voice sounded behind her. The man’s chin gently nuzzled the top of her head.Aveline froze.This was how they used to be.When she woke up early in the morning, Lu would be like this—gentle and clingy, saying such things.Aveline lay there in a daze, unable to distinguish the past from the present.How could she tell them apart?Because whether it was the past or now, the one saying these words was always Lu.Her heart ached with bitterness, but she bit her finger and didn’t get up.She still craved this embrace.She craved his warmth, his scent, everything about him.She wished time could freeze at this moment—no divorce, no Sophia, no Tudor family drama...Just them, as they used to be....When she woke up again, Aveline immediately met Lucas's playful gaze.Her expression stiffened. "Why are you staring at me like that?"It was early in the morning and quite unsettling.Lucas's voice was deep. "Why are you here?"Aveline looked

Lucas suddenly stopped, her gaze making him uncomfortable."I really don't understand what you're thinking," Aveline asked softly. "Are we getting divorced or not?"Lucas's lips tightened abruptly. He got up from the bed and headed straight to the bathroom.Aveline closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.Let's not do this.If they were going to divorce, it should be straightforward.It would be easier for both of them.When Lucas came out, Aveline was gone. She hadn't even stayed for breakfast.She had only sent him a message on WhatsApp, “I'll be waiting for you at the lawyer’s office.”Lucas's face looked as if it was covered in frost, his entire demeanor icy and intimidating.The housekeeper came out, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Lucas, did Miss Young leave?"The housekeeper knew Aveline had come last night but had been informed not to disturb them. He had expected to see her this morning but found no one.Lucas put away his phone, his expression even colder. "Do you

"Mr. Tudor went to Labor City for his business trip."Aveline responded, "Send me his detailed itinerary.""Alright, no problem."Desmond agreed and hung up. Shortly after, he sent Lucas' work schedule to Aveline.Aveline glanced at it and immediately booked a flight. Without hesitation, she headed straight to the airport.It only took three hours to fly from Cloudflare City to Labor City.Once she found Lucas, they could find another lawyer to handle the divorce proceedings and then return, without wasting much time.The two cities were close, with similar climates. After landing, Aveline took a taxi directly to the hotel where Lucas was staying. She booked a room and sat in the lobby, waiting for him to appear.This jerk wasn't answering her calls.Ha!Did he think he could avoid her by going on a business trip?Impossible!Aveline waited for a long time. The sky outside darkened before Lucas' tall figure finally appeared at the entrance.Her eyelids felt heavy, but when she saw him,

Lucas' room was on the 9th floor. Just as the elevator was about to reach the 7th floor, he suddenly canceled the 7th-floor command."What are you doing?" Aveline frowned, asking immediately.Lucas replied, "Everyone here knows we're married. It wouldn't be appropriate to sleep in separate rooms."Aveline retorted, "I doubt anyone cares about your private life."Lucas said, "Just in case."By the time Aveline reached for the 7th-floor button, it was too late; the elevator had already stopped on the 9th floor. Her expression darkened.Lucas walked out of the elevator and went far ahead before Aveline finally stepped out. However, she didn't follow him. Instead, she headed toward the stairwell.Seeing this, Lucas tugged at his tie and called out, "Aveline."She paused. "What?"She didn't turn around, so she didn't see the deep, dark look in his eyes.Lucas sighed almost imperceptibly and said, "There’s no major conflict between us. Can't we just get along peacefully?"Aveline's hand clen

She wondered if Sophia knew how much of a jerk he was.No, he wouldn't be like this around Sophia. He cherished her too much to ever wrong her.But to Aveline...She was nothing.Lucas stared at the closed door, the frustration in his chest growing. He took a large gulp of water as if it could ease his irritation.She used to be different.Why couldn't they just get along as they did before, since they weren't divorced yet?An hour passed.There was a knock on Aveline's door.Groggily, she got up and opened it, seeing Lucas already dressed in a suit, looking at her with a calm expression. "It's time to head to the dinner."Her hair was down, and her delicate features looked fresh and soft, with a touch of confusion. The sharpness seemed to have faded, leaving a gentler side.It reminded him of how she used to be, and his heart softened unexpectedly."I don't have a dress," Aveline said with a yawn.She was truly exhausted. She had traveled non-stop from Cloudflare City to Labor City an

Aveline looked over, puzzled, and asked, "What's this?"Lucas replied, "You're my wife. If you look too plain, people will think I'm treating you poorly."He took out a pair of earrings and said to her, "Come here."“Fine,” She thought, “Who doesn't like diamonds?”As Aveline stood up, she asked, "Are these mine?""Yes," Lucas replied, catching the sparkle in her eyes.Aveline quickened her pace and reached out her hand, "I'll do it myself."Lucas, however, said, "There's no mirror, you can't see."Saying this, he lifted her hair and leaned in to put on the earrings.The diamond earrings were teardrop-shaped, perfectly cut, and sparkled beautifully under the light. Her earlobes, with a hint of pink, were delicate and the earrings easily slipped through the holes. His fingers lingered as he pinched her earlobe before picking up the other earring.They were very close, and his breath seemed to graze her skin, feeling warm and slightly ticklish.The earrings were quickly put on, and next

The banquet was held in a villa estate.A red carpet stretched from inside the estate all the way to the entrance, with vehicles stopping at the end of the red carpet, and elegantly dressed people stepping out of the cars.Lucas' car soon stopped as well. Aveline reached out to open the door, but he held her back."What are you doing?"She looked at him in confusion.Lucas, slightly exasperated, said, "Wait a moment. You need to take my arm. We can't let people see that we're not getting along."Aveline asked, "Is that really necessary?"Lucas replied, "We are a married couple.""Oh, add money," Aveline said bluntly.Lucas responded, "Are you making a living out of this?"Aveline laughed. "You just realized that?"Lucas gave her a deep look and said, "We'll settle it when we get back."Aveline wanted to say more, but at that moment, the car door opened, and she had to keep quiet.She couldn't continue the argument; if he got upset, her path to wealth would be cut off.Lucas got out of

Daisy said, "I’ll go with you."Jolie didn’t respond, simply turning and heading toward the restroom. The restroom was spacious, and Jolie entered one of the stalls, locking the door behind her. Daisy waited near the sinks, glancing at her watch. After five minutes, her brow furrowed. “Jolie?” she called out. From inside, Jolie answered faintly, “My stomach hurts.” Daisy stepped closer to the stall. “Is it serious?” “It shouldn’t be,” Jolie replied. “I’ll be fine in a bit.” “Alright, I’ll wait outside,” Daisy said, though her expression showed growing impatience. The restroom wasn’t in the VIP lounge, so it was busier and less pristine than Daisy was used to. She stood with an air of distaste, her irritation evident in her posture. “Excuse me, whose luggage is this? One of the bags seems to be damaged,” an airport staff member said, approaching with a phone displaying a photo of the suitcase in question. Daisy glanced at the screen, her frown deepening. “It’s mine.

It was nothing short of breaking news! If this got out, the entire company would lose their minds in an explosion of gossip! The assistant fought to keep his excitement in check, pulled out his phone, and started digging into Jolie’s situation. In less than ten minutes, he returned, his expression serious as he knocked on Gavin’s office door. “Mr. Cooper, I’ve got an update. Miss Quin is currently at the Quin family home. I also found out she’s booked on a flight tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. to Montara for a year-long program.” Gavin, who had been reviewing documents, looked up sharply, his brows furrowing. “Studying abroad?” “Yes, that’s correct,” the assistant confirmed. “The Quins booked her ticket before she was even discharged from the hospital.” Such a rushed departure—why the urgency? The assistant glanced at Gavin’s unreadable expression and cautiously asked, “Mr. Cooper, should I dig further? Maybe find out the reason for her trip?” “No need,” Gavin replied coo

As expected.Jolie lowered her gaze slightly. Her pale face carried a fragile determination as she sat at the edge of the dining table. Her slender frame looked too weak to resist, yet the defiance in her eyes told another story.She couldn’t escape. But she wasn’t willing to give in. “I won’t break up with him,” she said, raising her eyes with a clear and unwavering resolve. Terence let out a cold laugh. “Well, you’ve got guts. You really are my daughter. Let’s see how long your resolve lasts!” With that, he abruptly stood and stormed out of the dining room. Daisy frowned at Jolie. “Jolie, why are you so stubborn? Ian Wheeler isn’t the right person for you. Why won’t you listen to us? Do you really think we’d harm you?” Jolie replied calmly, “Is what’s ‘right’ always the best?” “Of course,” Daisy said firmly. “If someone fits in every way, that’s what’s best.” “I don’t agree,” Jolie said softly, her gaze dropping as she rejected her mother’s words. “You’re being too

Daisy’s stance was unyielding, leaving Jolie no room to argue. She took her straight back to the Quin family home and even confiscated her phone.Meanwhile, just half an hour after they left, Selena arrived at the hospital. Noticing the empty room, she froze for a moment before grabbing a nearby nurse.“Excuse me, where is the patient from this room?” Selena asked.The nurse replied, “She’s been discharged.”“Discharged?” Selena was stunned. “So soon?”It wasn’t surprising that Jolie was ready to be discharged, but Selena couldn’t believe she’d leave without saying a word. She pressed on, “Did she leave on her own?”The nurse shook her head. “No, her mother came to take her.”Selena nodded slowly, her expression darkening. So that was it. Anger flickered in Selena’s chest. Jolie had been severely injured, and Daisy hadn’t bothered to visit her in an entire month. Yet, the moment it was time for her to leave, Daisy suddenly showed up. For the longest time, Selena had assumed Jolie w

Jolie instinctively glanced at Selena after hearing that, noticing the awkward expression on her face. After a brief pause, she suddenly called out, “Sister.”Selena shot up from her seat as if startled. “I think I’ll skip the oranges. I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll head out first,” she said quickly. Without waiting for Jolie to respond, she hurried out of the hospital room, looking like she was running from a pack of wild animals.Jackie blinked in surprise. “What was that about?”Jolie replied casually, “Maybe… she felt embarrassed.”Jackie chuckled warmly. “That’s normal, perfectly normal. When there’s tension and one side tries to make peace, the other usually feels awkward. Your relationship with Selena always seems a bit like this, doesn’t it?”Jolie lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, “She left home a long time ago.”Jackie raised her eyebrows. “Sounds like there’s been some serious conflict.”Jolie didn’t elaborate. The fact that Selena was willing to v

The next day, Daisy came to visit Jolie. Noticing Jackie in the room, she frowned and asked, “Who are you?”Jackie replied with a friendly tone, “I’m Miss Quin’s caregiver. And you are?”Daisy’s expression shifted briefly before she responded, “You can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”Jackie grew wary and glanced at Jolie for guidance. Jolie said calmly, “Jackie, I’d like some fruit.”Jackie immediately understood that Jolie was subtly asking her to step out. “Alright,” she nodded and left the room.As soon as the door closed, Daisy turned to Jolie. “Jolie, did you look into that caregiver? What’s her background? Is she reliable?”Jolie met her mother’s gaze, her tone flat. “Sure. I’ll investigate later.”Daisy hesitated for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something. “I’m sorry, Jolie. Yesterday I forgot about you. There was an issue at the company, and your father and I were tied up until late. Were you alright? You didn’t go hungry, did you?”Jolie found it la

Upon hearing this, Jolie looked at him. "Can I refuse you?""Of course you can," Gavin replied without hesitation.Jolie eyed him skeptically, finding it hard to believe he would give in so easily.Gavin figured that even if she refused, there were still six obligations left to fulfill. Once those were over, their ties would be completely severed. He was confident that by then, she wouldn’t occupy any more of his thoughts.In his life, emotions had never been a priority. Career and power were always paramount. He had set his goals clearly from a young age. So even though he now realized he liked Jolie, he wouldn’t do anything irrational for the sake of feelings. That wasn’t who he was.Jolie’s eyes gradually brightened. She had assumed he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, resorting to forceful tactics if she disagreed. His rationality made things much simpler!"Mr. Cooper, I’m sorry," Jolie said after deliberating for a moment. "We’re not very com

Gavin pulled out a document and handed it to her.Jolie glanced at it, her eyes widening in shock as she realized it was a detailed dossier on Ian. Staring at Gavin in disbelief, she asked, "What… what is this supposed to mean?"She didn’t even look at the contents again, her mind swirling with chaos. "To show you the kind of person you’re so adamantly defending," Gavin said coolly, his expression steady.Jolie’s grip on the bedsheet tightened as her thoughts spun out of control. She struggled to process what was happening. "Why are you doing this?" Their relationship was supposed to be simple—a transactional repayment of a favor. So why was he meddling in her life? Why investigate Ian? Why did he care so much about her relationship with Ian?A flood of questions filled her mind, and though the answer seemed obvious, she couldn’t bring herself to believe it.Gavin looked into her dark, clear eyes, finding something there he couldn’t quite decipher. It was rare for him to not unders

Jolie closed her eyes and said weakly, "I won’t break up.""You…" Daisy was taken aback by her stubbornness. Jolie had always been the most obedient child, the one who listened without question. Yet now, she was completely unyielding.Sighing heavily, Daisy sat down beside her. At this point, there was little she could do. Terence had already lashed out, but even that didn’t make Jolie relent. If she refused to break up, what more could they do?For now, Daisy decided to leave the matter alone. If talking to Jolie wouldn’t work, perhaps convincing Ian would be the way forward."Are you hungry?" Daisy asked after a pause."No," Jolie replied faintly. The only sensation she could focus on was the pain radiating from her back. She lay on her stomach, too afraid to move.Daisy let out a soft sigh. "If you get hungry, let me know. I’ll make you whatever you want.""Mm." Jolie barely responded, closing her eyes as exhaustion pulled her into a restless sleep.…Night fell, and Jolie stirred
