After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 589
"Don't move."Lucas held her tightly. "Aveline, right now, I just want to hold you."Aveline rolled her eyes dramatically, but after hiking all the way up, she didn’t have much energy left to struggle. Her face rested against his chest as she gazed at the scenery beyond the mountain, her breathing gradually calming.She unintentionally became aware of his heartbeat, which was growing faster and louder, as if it might burst from his chest.Aveline’s lashes fluttered slightly. "Lucas, are you having a heart attack?"Lucas tightened his arms around her briefly, then suddenly released her. "Aveline, I want to kiss you."She instantly pushed him away. "Don’t even think about it."Lucas’ narrow eyes locked onto her lips, a clear intent in his gaze.Aveline quickly covered her mouth, looking at him with a wary expression.A faint smile curved Lucas' lips. "Do you really think covering your mouth will stop me? If I want to, you won’t be able to escape."Aveline rolled her eyes again and turned

Aveline immediately hung up the call.Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn’t you answer?"Aveline responded curtly, "That’s none of your business."Lucas chuckled, clearly amused, as if he hadn’t expected this rebellious side of her.Aveline kept her gaze out the window, but inside, she was tense.Then Lucas spoke again, "Afraid to answer? Worried I might find out? Who was it, Russell?"Aveline frowned and turned to him. "Lucas, do you ever stop?"His eyes locked onto hers. "Then why didn’t you take the call?"Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don’t feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me."Lucas crossed his arms and leaned back, his handsome, sharp features becoming even colder and more distant. His eyes regarded her with a cool indifference."And so what? Do you think I care about what place I hold in your heart or if I have any status at all?"Aveline was momentarily stunned. "If yo

Lucas, with his striking features and tall, commanding presence, stood out starkly from the rest of the bus passengers. His innate air of nobility seemed out of place in the crowded vehicle. He held onto the handrail with one hand, the other casually tucked into his pocket, his gaze resting on Aveline, who sat quietly in her seat. A faint smile tugged at his lips, drawing the attention of several onlookers.Two girls sitting behind them took out their phones to snap a photo, whispering, "He’s so handsome. I take this bus all the time, but I’ve never seen him before."Her friend chuckled. "Didn’t you notice he’s been watching that girl the whole time? They’re clearly a couple!"An older woman also noticed Lucas and approached, patting him on the arm. "Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"Lucas raised his brows slightly, not expecting the sudden question. But his eyes fell on Aveline as he replied, "I have a wife."The woman glanced at Aveline with a hint of regret on her face. Hearing

Aveline frowned slightly and asked, "That is strange. Did you change the locks?"Selena nodded. "I did, but it didn’t help. I’m starting to wonder if these thieves are expert locksmiths. Maybe they learned how to pick locks before deciding to become burglars."Aveline chuckled at her comment but still said, "If it’s that unsafe here, maybe you should find a new place to live."Selena sank into the couch with a sigh. "I’d love to, but the landlord won’t refund my deposit. It’s a lot of money."Aveline gave her a sympathetic look. "How much longer is your lease?"Selena thought for a moment. "Just one more month. After that, I’m definitely moving.""Good." Aveline nodded. That seemed like the best solution.But she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease—why were there repeated break-ins at Selena’s place? She recalled the first time it happened, which coincided with her staying there.Unable to make sense of it, Aveline got up and headed to the kitchen to check what ingredients were avail

Aveline pulled out her phone. "What are you standing there for? Call the police."Selena, however, seemed unfazed. "I’ve reported it before, but nothing was stolen, and the security cameras were out of order, so it was pointless."Aveline frowned. "But it’s too dangerous for you to stay here. You should come to stay at my place."Selena hesitated. "But... the deposit..."Aveline’s expression grew stern. "What’s more important, your deposit or your life?"Selena sighed. "The deposit..."Ignoring her, Aveline started packing up Selena’s belongings. In no time, she had most of it sorted out.When she turned around, she saw Selena still organizing her collection of stuffed toys.Aveline felt a bit exasperated. "You can move those later. Right now, just take what you need."Selena hugged a large plushie tightly and said, "This is essential. I can’t sleep without it."Aveline was speechless.Selena then clutched a plush carrot. "And this one stays by my side, like a fortress of security."Av

Aveline’s expression grew serious as she asked, "Selena, don’t you have any other thoughts about this?"Selena took a bite of her chicken wing and replied, "What thoughts? I don’t have any. If he wants to marry for business’ sake, let him."Aveline frowned. "But what about the two of you…?"Selena laughed at that. "Oh, you’re worried about that? Don’t be. If he really goes through with this marriage, I won’t be involved with him anymore. The thing I despise most in this life is being the other woman."Aveline finally felt relieved. It was a great relief that Selena thought this way. Regardless of what Aaron decided to do, if Selena maintained this attitude, he wouldn’t be able to keep her tangled up in his life.Aaron didn’t have the leverage over Selena that Lucas did over Aveline.Seeing Aveline lost in thought, Selena said, "Alright, stop worrying. Those things aren’t going to happen.""Yeah." Aveline nodded, pushing the thoughts aside.After they finished eating, the two of them to

Aveline fell silent, realizing there was no way to resist the combined efforts of Sidney and Selena. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright, tomorrow it is."Sidney’s face lit up with joy, his eyes sparkling like stars, making it hard for anyone not to soften toward him.As the sky darkened and the last traces of orange faded, the lights in the neighborhood flickered on, and the sounds of laughter echoed in the distance.Selena suddenly remarked, "Why do I feel like we’re a family of three right now?"Aveline shot her a blank look before turning to Sidney. "She’s always like this—don’t mind her."Sidney’s face softened with a smile. "I think her personality is charming."Selena immediately puffed up with pride. "Did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? And you still want to ignore me? Admit it—you don’t love me anymore!"Aveline was speechless.She quickly changed the topic. "By the way, have you encountered any challenges at work recently? I noticed that Maria hasn’t been taking you ou

“Pfft…” Selena couldn’t hold back her laughter, bursting out at Lucas’s audacity.She glanced at Sidney and asked, "Do you think he's dreaming too?"Sidney offered a faint smile, keeping his reaction subtle.Lucas ignored the two of them, his intense gaze fixed solely on Aveline.The elevator doors had closed, and it continued its ascent."I never said I’d invite you," Aveline stated firmly.Lucas’ handsome face remained indifferent. "Oh? Well, it’s not too late to say it now."Selena suddenly turned to Sidney and asked, "Are all men this thick-skinned?"Sidney responded, "Not all of us."Selena rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Or maybe it’s selective hearing? They just ignore what they don’t want to hear."Sidney remained silent this time, perhaps because there was some truth to it.Lucas’ sharp gaze shifted to Selena, who met his stare without backing down, even lifting her chin defiantly. However, Lucas’s imposing presence was overwhelming, and despite her initial bravado, Selena soon

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
