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

“What are you doing here?” Russell asked, frowning.“Heh!” Lucas let out a laugh, as if he’d just heard something amusing, his eyes cold and sharp. “I could ask you the same thing—why are you here?”Russell's smile faded further from his refined, handsome face. “I’m Aveline’s friend. It’s perfectly normal for me to visit her.”“Oh, and I’m her husband. So, it’s just as normal for me to be here,” Lucas replied calmly.Russell's frown grew more pronounced. "But aren't you two divorced?"Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Being divorced doesn’t mean we can’t still share a bed."Russell’s expression grew darker as he stepped forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar. “Lucas, you’re already divorced. Can’t you stop tormenting her and let her go? She’s much happier without you.”“Is that so?” Lucas remained unfazed by Russell’s aggression. Instead, he turned to Aveline. “Ave, is what he’s saying true?”Aveline trembled slightly before walking over. She addressed Russell, “Russ, why did you come so early?

Aveline looked at him coldly. "It's still better than your reasons for getting close to me.""You're wrong."Lucas looked at her with amusement. "I approached you simply because I wanted to possess you. But as for him, the consequences might be more than you can handle."Aveline pressed her lips together, not saying a word. She knew well enough who treated her well and who didn't. How could she possibly judge Russell's intentions based on a few words from Lucas? Besides, she had nothing to offer; what could Russell possibly want from her?She pushed him away. "I have to go to work."Lucas, however, shut the door behind them, speaking coldly, "You need to go to the hospital first. You're sick, and you need treatment."Aveline glared at him. "You're the one who's sick!"Lucas replied, "You know better than anyone how healthy I am, don't you?"Aveline fell silent, unwilling to continue the conversation.Lucas remained firm, insisting on taking her to the hospital. Aveline resisted stro

Barbara's words hung in the air, turning the room ice-cold.Aveline, merely an outsider in this situation, found the scene before her utterly absurd. This family constantly invoked the memory of a dead man to dictate Lucas' actions. Whenever he did something that displeased them, they would use this deceased person to lecture him.How laughable...Perhaps they knew deep down that they had no other way to persuade Lucas, so they resorted to such tactics.Aveline watched coldly from the sidelines.Lucas remained composed, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a chill as he spoke, "Grandma, why don't you understand yet? It's not just that he's dead; even if he were alive and standing right in front of me, he wouldn't have the right to interfere in my affairs.""You..."Barbara began coughing violently at his words, her already wrinkled, aged face appearing even more frail.Frederick's expression grew darker. "Lucas, how can you speak to your grandmother like that? Can't you see how weak she i
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 563
Aveline suddenly found his words amusing, but the tense atmosphere in the room and her awkward position made it clear that laughing now would only make her a target. She forced herself to suppress the urge, lowering her gaze.Sensing her reaction, Lucas glanced at her. When he noticed the flicker of amusement in her eyes, his foul mood unexpectedly lifted a bit.Interesting...Dealing with these people might have its perks after all. At the very least, it could amuse her. And that, he thought, was worth it.Barbara began coughing violently, her trembling hand pointing at Lucas as if she wanted to scold him, but she was too weak to even speak. All she could do was glare at him with anger.Lucas, seemingly oblivious to her fury, gently took her hand. "Grandma, don't worry. Aveline and I will live well together, and we'll soon give you a great-grandchild to hold."Barbara yanked her hand away and turned her face away from him, clearly enraged.Frederick was equally angered by Lucas' w

Lucas glanced at her and pressed a button for a different floor.Seeing this, Aveline hesitated and asked, "Where are we going now?"In a low, cold voice, Lucas replied, "To get you checked."Aveline's expression immediately darkened. "There's nothing wrong with me, I'm not going."Lucas looked at her calmly. "We're already at the hospital. Do you really think you can avoid this?"Her face grew even more tense.The elevator quickly reached the designated floor, and as the doors opened, Lucas firmly took her hand and led her directly to the doctor's office without giving her a chance to resist.This hospital was under the Tudor family's management, and the doctors of department head rank and above all knew Lucas. Whenever they saw him, they would respectfully address him as Mr. Tudor.He pushed open the door to an office where a doctor, wearing glasses, was in the middle of a consultation with a patient. The sudden intrusion startled the patient.The doctor glanced at Lucas, clearly dis

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

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
