After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 552
"You!" Aveline's expression darkened. Aaron's attitude made it clear he saw Selena as nothing more than a plaything.If that was the case, there was no way she would let Aaron take Selena away tonight."Fine, let her go. You have no right to take her, and even less right to interfere with her freedom," Aveline said coldly.Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Aveline, I'm being civil because of Lucas. Do you think too highly of yourself?"Aveline's gaze remained icy. "You don't need to consider him at all. I have nothing to lose. If you insist on taking her, you'll have to go through me first."There was a fierce determination in her eyes. She was resolute in protecting Selena. Selena was her only family now.Moved by Aveline's resolve, Selena suddenly bit down hard on Aaron's hand, causing him to release her in pain.Selena quickly ran to Aveline's side. "Ave, I won't go with him!"Aveline nodded. "I’ll protect you."Selena was overwhelmed with emotion, nearly ready to pledge her life to Aveli

"Is that so? Was I mistaken?" Aveline thought before replying, "Alright, I understand. Get some rest; I won't be going out today.""Okay, Miss Young."...After a quick wash, Aveline lay down on her bed. Her mind was still a mess, but her body was exhausted, and she quickly fell asleep.When she woke up, it was already afternoon.She picked up her phone and saw numerous messages from Selena, all detailing her escape plan.Aveline replied briefly, then got up to wash her face before heading to the kitchen to cook.Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.Aveline paused, her expression turning cold. Who would come at this hour?She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Upon seeing who it was, her face became even more indifferent.She ignored it and continued cooking.After waiting for a while, Lucas realized Aveline wasn't going to answer the door.Undeterred, he kept knocking, showing remarkable patience.It was only after about half an hour that the door finally opened.Av

Aveline eyed him warily, his dark, piercing gaze fixed on her as if she were already his prey.Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and she bit her lip, suddenly raising the kitchen knife to her own throat."You're right, I don't dare to hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't harm myself. Lucas, if you take one more step, I'll cut myself. Let's see if you can keep talking like this while facing a corpse!"Lucas stopped in his tracks, the playful expression vanishing from his face as he glared at her, his gaze dark and intense. "Put the knife down!"Instead of lowering the knife, Aveline pressed it closer to her neck, stubbornly saying, "Get out! You're not welcome here!"Lucas remained still, his gaze locked on her with a menacing intensity.Seeing his hesitation, Aveline gritted her teeth and pressed the blade even closer. Her delicate skin barely brushed the knife's edge, which had been sharpened—just a slight touch and it immediately left a thin line of blood on her slender, pale n

"Do you know why Aaron found you both so quickly?" Lucas asked.Upon hearing this, Aveline stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around, her face filled with disbelief. "It was you?"Lucas smirked. "That's right."He approached Aveline with a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing her face pale from shock, he gently caressed it. His tone was low and soft, like a lover's whisper, but his words were incredibly cruel."Did you really think I'd let anyone who could keep you company slip away? Face it, Aveline. Selena's trapped, and so are you. There's no escape for either of you."Aveline was furious. She raised her hand to slap him, but Lucas caught her wrist effortlessly. He looked into her angry eyes."Aveline, things between us won't end so easily. Have you heard the phrase 'till death do us part'?"Aveline was trembling with rage, her whole body shaking.It was him! Why would he do this? How could he?Selena was so close to leaving! She could have escaped a fate similar to Aveline'

A cold, shadowed look darkened Lucas' eyes as he watched her pale face and heard her murmurs. He scoffed. Love? What did it matter? As long as she remained by his side, love was irrelevant.At Maple Garden, Lucas carried Aveline upstairs, used her finger to unlock the door, and strode inside. He went straight to the bathroom and began running hot water in the tub. Once it was ready, he gently placed her in the bath, and the tension in her furrowed brow eased slightly.She was already running a fever. First, he needed to warm her up and then give her medicine.Lucas carefully bathed her, then wrapped her in a towel and carried her out. As he dressed her in clean pajamas, he couldn't help but notice her delicate curves and smooth, ivory skin. His gaze darkened, and he found himself swallowing hard more than once.When it was time to take the medicine, Aveline's body instinctively resisted, her lips refusing to part.Lucas lost patience. He placed the pill in his own mouth, grasped

Aveline stood still, not moving an inch.Lucas let out a cold laugh, pulling her back onto the bed, his heavy body pinning her down, his hot breath washing over her.But Aveline remained unresponsive.Just as his breath was only inches from her cheek, Lucas suddenly stopped, staring into her overly cold eyes. An inexplicable sense of defeat washed over him.The air between them grew thick and tense.Noticing his hesitation, Aveline shoved him aside and got out of bed. "Lucas, maybe all you’re interested in is my body. But what if my body won’t react to you anymore? What if nothing you do can stir me anymore?"She walked to the door, glancing back at him. "How defeated would you feel if that happened?"With a mocking smile, she left the bedroom.Lucas leaned against the headboard, his face dark and stormy, his mood plummeting.What did she mean? Her body wouldn’t react to him? Ridiculous! He knew exactly how sensitive she was—he had a thousand ways to make her respond!But as he thoug

"You're insane!" A trace of fear appeared in Aveline's eyes, completely unprepared for how far Lucas would go in his madness.Lucas noticed the shift in her emotions, and a fleeting complexity crossed his deep gaze. He leaned in closer, kissing her lips with a tender intimacy, as if they were lovers lost in the moment.But the more gentle he was, the more Aveline's fear grew, trembling from deep within her soul.Suddenly, she pushed him away.Lucas didn't get angry; instead, he stared at her lips, as if still savoring the moment.Aveline steadied herself and asked, "Why did you help Sophia?""Hmm?"Lucas paused at her question, and after a brief thought, he realized she must have misunderstood something related to what Brian had done.So, she was acting this way because she thought he helped Sophia?"I didn’t help her," Lucas replied calmly.Aveline looked at him with disdain, unable to believe he was playing dumb at this point."Lucas, you can’t even admit to what you've done. I real

"Your body is far more honest than your words, Aveline," Lucas murmured.Aveline closed her eyes, remaining silent. It was true—her body couldn’t resist Lucas' teasing. He knew her body even better than she knew it herself.Taking a steadying breath, Aveline said, "Lucas, I need to go to work."But Lucas had no intention of letting her go. Watching as the corners of her eyes gradually reddened, his amusement only deepened."What's the rush? It's not like you need to clock in."As he spoke, his hand continued its deliberate movements, making Aveline tremble and bite down on her lip.However, the moment she heard the sound of his belt buckle, her body tensed, and her face turned pale."No… please, no..."The painful memory of their last encounter filled her with fear, and she began to recoil from his touch, desperate to avoid further intimacy.Noticing her trembling, Lucas' eyes darkened. "Aveline, are you playing games with me?"Her shaking grew worse, her face becoming even paler. "I c

Lucas responded in a calm, low voice, “You won’t get that chance in this lifetime.”Selena huffed. “You better hope so!”She lifted her chin defiantly and then playfully winked at Aveline. Aveline smiled softly, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. When would these two ever stop bickering?Once they arrived at the mall, Selena dragged Aveline into a whirlwind shopping spree. Whatever caught their eye, they bought—no hesitation, no restraint. It felt exhilarating to indulge so freely!Lucas followed quietly behind them, occasionally making a few phone calls and handling work without missing a beat.After shopping all morning, the group started to feel tired. Selena led Aveline into a restaurant across the street.“I read reviews on this place, and they say the food is amazing. They’ve got some dishes from Cloudflare City too. It’s been a while since you’ve been back—want a taste of home?” Selena asked, grinning while flipping through the menu.Aveline nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been craving it

Daisy’s expression darkened slightly at Jolie’s words, but she held back from lashing out. “That’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing it up now? You and Selena are sisters, after all. You should reach out to her more. Convince her to come back. She’s still part of the Quin family.”In recent years, both her parents, especially her father, had become fixated on reconnecting with Selena. Despite multiple attempts, Selena had kept her distance, and even after finally making contact, she barely exchanged a few words with them before cutting off all communication again. The more they tried, the further she drifted away.Jolie remained quiet, observing Daisy. She had no right to criticize her mother—after all, it was she who had always been favored growing up. The Quin family had never done anything wrong by her.“I understand. I’ll try,” Jolie finally relented, though the thought of facing Selena’s distant and prickly demeanor again made her uneasy. Perhaps, deep down, her sist

“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
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1039
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
