After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 610
Resign.Leave.To disappear without a trace.If no one could find her, then those around her wouldn’t get caught in the crossfire. Aveline pressed her lips together, feeling that this plan might actually work.She had no close family, and only a few friends—Selena, Sidney, and Russell. Lucas couldn’t touch Russell, so Selena was his only leverage. If she could find a way to leave with Selena, it would solve the problem.And Sidney? Once she was gone, Lucas would have no reason to trouble him anymore.Yes, it seemed like a solid plan.Aveline pulled out her phone, hesitating on whether to tell Selena about her idea. No need to rush—she’d wait and see. If things didn’t improve, she would consider leaving.The whole afternoon, Aveline was preoccupied, her mind weighed down by her thoughts. Her mood didn’t improve even after work.When she returned to Maple Garden and stepped into the elevator, two others followed her inside. Aveline instinctively looked up, and when she saw who it was, he

Aveline opened the file and noticed the contact's last name was Blake, which made her hesitate. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed the number. The unfamiliar digits gave her a surprising sense of relief."Hello?"But when she heard Desmond’s voice on the other end, her mood soured immediately."Why is it you?"Desmond was momentarily taken aback. "Uh… Miss Young? Is there something you need from me?"He pretended to be surprised, but in reality, Lucas was sitting right next to him, listening in through the speakerphone.Aveline asked, "I received a commission to design a villa. Did you buy a villa? Are you getting married?"Desmond hesitated, glancing at Lucas for guidance.Lucas, maintaining his cold demeanor, gave nothing away, leaving Desmond to fend for himself.Desmond nervously stammered, "Ah… yes, it’s just a coincidence that the project landed with you. What a small world, huh?"Aveline, not buying the casual tone, asked, "What are your requirements? Let me know, and I’ll

Aveline frowned, stepping back to put some distance between them. "Wasn't he the one planning to design the wedding house?"Lucas responded coolly, "This is my property."Aveline paused. Well, that explained it—she had been tricked.She turned on her heel to leave. "Find another designer. I’m not interested."But Lucas’ deep voice halted her in her tracks. "But you’ve already signed a contract with me. Have you checked the penalty for breaking it?"Aveline froze for a moment, then turned back to him.Lucas continued, "If you break the contract and refuse to design my house—or fail to design one that satisfies me—the penalty is 20 million."Aveline stared at him. "Why don't you just rob a bank?"Lucas smirked. "Why would I? 20 million is nothing to me. Don’t tell me you can’t afford it?"Aveline fought the urge to slap him. For him, 20 million might be pocket change, but for her, it was an impossible sum. She had her savings for the future—no way could she give that up to him!Realizing

"But you once said you loved me."Lucas' gaze was unwavering as if he wouldn't rest until he got an answer.Aveline sighed helplessly and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"She was referring to his ideas for the design.Lucas remained silent.Seeing that he had nothing more to add, Aveline said, "If there's nothing else, I'll start taking measurements."She needed to verify the dimensions against the plans to ensure everything was accurate before she could begin drafting the blueprints.Pulling out her measuring tools, she got to work. The plot of land was enormous, and she spent the entire afternoon measuring just half of it. She’d have to return the next morning to finish the job.Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she recorded the data and prepared to leave.The Porsche was still parked at the entrance. Lucas was sitting inside, having spent the entire afternoon there while she worked. Aveline couldn’t help but think he must be incredibly bored.Since he hadn’t left yet, she

Aveline shifted her gaze from Lucas to the laptop on the table. She decided to sit down and began scrolling through the reference images, carefully studying each one. The images showcased the evolution of modern domestic villa architecture, with many designs incorporating foreign elements that Lucas clearly disliked. As a result, he wanted something more distinct and personalized.Engrossed in her task, Aveline didn’t notice when Lucas moved behind her. Suddenly, he leaned down, placing his hands on the table and effectively trapping her in his embrace."I think this one looks good," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the screen.Aveline stiffened, turning her head slightly to avoid his proximity. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you need to be so close?"Lucas tilted his head to look at her, his eyes dark and unreadable, with a flicker of something she couldn’t quite identify."I’m just making sure you can hear me," he replied in a low voice.Aveline rolled her eyes and

Aveline's expression darkened instantly. "So, your happiness is built on my suffering?"Lucas replied calmly, "If you're feeling hurt, you can always come to me for protection."Aveline let out a bitter laugh. "Protection? As your mistress?"Lucas didn’t respond, simply watching her with that faint, mocking smile.The thought was nothing short of insulting to Aveline. Give up the role of his wife to become his mistress? Not a chance.She turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her."Bang!"Lucas closed his eyes for a moment, the smirk fading from his face. He walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a drink, and slowly sipped it. His gaze fixed on the dark night outside, though his eyes were even darker.…When Aveline returned home, Selena immediately asked, "Did he give you a hard time?"Aveline shook her head. "No, just his usual nonsense."Selena burst out laughing. "That’s a pretty accurate description."After washing her hands, Aveline sat down beside Selena, gr

“Ave—Aveline?” Lucas called out, but there was no response from the other end. Only the sound of steady breathing reached his ears.He chuckled softly, then put the phone on speaker, letting it stay connected. As he listened to her gentle breathing, the chaos in his mind gradually eased. If she were beside him right now, he thought, he might feel even more at peace.…The next morning, Aveline opened her eyes and instinctively reached for her phone to check her messages. To her surprise, the phone had shut off on its own.Huh? What happened? Why did it turn off?Confused, Aveline plugged it in to charge and waited for it to power back on. When it did, a flood of messages appeared, and she realized she had been on the phone with Lucas for four hours the previous night—from 3 a.m. until 7 a.m.!Aveline stared at her phone in bewilderment. A phone call? How was it possible she had no memory of it?Just then, there was a knock on the door.Selena poked her head in and, seeing that Aveline

Though she couldn’t shake the thought that she might have said something like that, Aveline refused to believe it without hearing the recording. Wait a minute… If Lucas wanted to stop her, he could easily do it. So why would he worry about her deleting the recording? If he wouldn’t let her listen, maybe he was bluffing.Convinced she was onto something, Aveline rolled her eyes in exasperation and left the complex.She returned to the villa site, but this time she brought some help with her.Sidney looked around at the vast area and said, "You should’ve called me yesterday."Aveline replied, "I didn’t realize it was this big. Let’s get started.""Got it."With two people working, the task went much faster. By noon, they had finished all the measurements.After double-checking the data to make sure everything was correct, Aveline said, "Let’s go. Lunch is on me."Sidney walked beside her. "Are you cooking?"Aveline paused, caught off guard.Sidney scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

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
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1139
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
