After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 62
The car was already waiting outside.Once inside the car, Aveline hesitated. "We're just leaving like this?"Lucas replied, "What, should we stay for breakfast tomorrow?"Aveline kept quiet.It was pointless trying to talk to him properly!There was a brief silence in the car.Back at the hotel, Aveline went into the room first to change clothes and take a shower.When she came out wrapped in a bathrobe, she saw Lucas on the phone, his expression gentle, and she could vaguely hear him calling someone "Sophia."Aveline turned around and went back to her room.What bad luck.Lying on the bed with her phone, she couldn't sleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.Her mind kept replaying the scene of Lucas standing in front of her, dealing with the Thompson’s family butler.So handsome!So charming.But soon, her thoughts shifted to him talking to Sophia.Such a jerk.She felt like stabbing him.Frustrated, Aveline covered her head with a pillow, her whole body filled with conflicting

Lucas said, "If you don't want to go out, then just stay home."After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the room."Bang!"Aveline slammed her fork on the table with force. She was so angry that she lost her appetite! Why couldn't he talk about this matter properly? It really infuriated her!At that moment, her phone rang. After calming down, she picked it up to see it was a call from Selena."Ave, where are you?" Selena's lazy voice came through.Aveline replied, "Larbor City."Selena said, "Larbor City is nice. The churches there are said to be quite effective. Do you want to go ask for some blessings? And while you're at it, pray for me too, hehe."Aveline's eyes brightened, "Sure, I'll stay an extra day."Selena said, "I just miss you. Hurry back.""Okay," Aveline responded.The call ended quickly.Lucas soon came out. Aveline stood up and said, "I'm going to the church."Lucas looked at her, his eyes unreadable. "Shall I accompany you?""Sure." Aveline nodded.Lucas respo

Lucas' expression was icy, his gaze fixed ahead. "The brakes have failed."Aveline's eyes widened in shock. She quickly grabbed the handle, "What... what do we do now?"Lucas replied, "We might actually die together."Aveline's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She suddenly said, "If that's the case, won't Miss Winter be really sad?"Lucas glanced at her. "Why are you thinking about someone else at a time like this?""Watch the road!" Aveline struggled to stay calm, trying not to distract Lucas."What else? You keep thinking about being responsible for her. She really is quite pitiful, losing her leg to save you and waiting for you all this time, only for you to die with me."Aveline couldn't help but imagine the scene, feeling that Sophia would be devastated."And what about you?" Lucas asked in a deep voice.Her? What about her? She hadn't lost a limb, only a deeply heartfelt love.Aveline suddenly felt like laughing, "I don't want to be like those TV drama female leads who end u

The ambulance took a while to get there, and Aveline didn't dare move Lucas, afraid she might hurt him more. As his face grew paler from the blood loss, she felt more panicked than ever before.Fear completely enveloped her as she tightly held his uninjured hand. "Lu, you have to hang in there, you absolutely can't be..."She choked up, her vision blurring with tears. "If something really happens to you, I will definitely hate you, I promise I will!"She leaned down, pressing her face against his hand, feeling his warmth. "Lucas... you have to hang in there. You can't break my heart and then leave me like this. You just can't..."The ambulance finally arrived, and Aveline followed it to the hospital.At the entrance of the emergency room, she stood in a daze until the doors opened and a nurse came out."How... how is he?" Aveline asked anxiously.The nurse replied, "Who are you? Are you a relative?"Aveline responded, "I-I'm the family member of the injured person who was just brought

Lucas said, "If you don't get up soon, you might make my injury worse."Aveline hurriedly stood up and finally noticed his left arm was bandaged and in a sling, with gauze wrapped around his forehead. He looked rather amusing, and it seemed like he only had superficial injuries.Aveline let out a sigh of relief and then looked at him. "If you're okay, why didn't you say so earlier?"Lucas blinked innocently. "I woke up because of your crying."He had been unconscious, but his awareness gradually returned, and he heard her sobbing uncontrollably. At that moment, his heart ached deeply.He didn't disturb her, quietly watching her cry over a stranger's body as if she were pouring out her soul. Afraid she might hurt herself, he forced himself to get up and managed to catch her just as she was about to fall.Aveline was speechless.She quickly looked away and wiped her face.At that moment, a nurse walked in, seeing them standing face to face, and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing

By evening, the business partners in Larbor City had heard about Lucas' accident and came to visit him. Aveline observed quietly from the side, not saying a word.After everyone left, she closed the door and asked, "Earlier, you mentioned the brakes failed. Do you think it was intentional?"Lucas replied, "It's possible."Aveline frowned. "Who would do such a thing? What would they gain from it?"Lucas explained, "There are many benefits. It could be someone from Cloudflare City extending their reach here. If I were to die, there would be no one to inherit the Tudor family."Currently, Lucas was the sole heir to the Tudor family. If he died, there would be no one to carry on the family line, and others would likely tear the family apart to take their share. The vast wealth and resources of the Tudor family would be a significant gain for anyone involved.Aveline's expression grew more serious. After thinking for a moment, she walked to the bedside and said firmly, "So, once we get back

Lucas' mouth twitched slightly as he said calmly, "Brian, stop glaring at her. She's easily scared."Brian did not utter a reply and Aveline remained quiet.A faint sense of awkwardness filled the car.They soon arrived at their destination, an abandoned warehouse. Aveline got out of the car and squinted at the building. "Why are we here?"Lucas said, "The person is inside."Aveline looked at the tightly closed doors of the warehouse, her lips pressed together.Brian walked over, and the two bodyguards standing at the door greeted him with a nod, "Mr. Cooper."Brian waved his hand, and the bodyguards opened the door.Brian turned to Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, the person is inside."Lucas asked, "Did he confess?"Brian replied, "He said he'll talk when he sees you."A cold, faint smile appeared on Lucas' handsome and sharp face as he walked straight into the warehouse.Aveline hesitated but followed. She had witnessed the incident, so she needed to know who was behind it to be mentally prepare

The man widened his eyes in shock. "I... I already told you everything. Why do you still want to cut off my hand?"Brian replied coldly, "I said we'd let you go, but I didn't say we'd let you leave intact. Do it!"In the car, Aveline anxiously looked around. She only relaxed when she saw Lucas' tall, imposing figure emerging from the abandoned warehouse.As Lucas got into the car, she immediately asked, "Did you find out anything?"Lucas responded, "Yes."Aveline leaned in closer. "Who tampered with your car?"There had been some distance between them, but as she moved closer, the space vanished, and the faint scent of her perfume filled the air. Lucas lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her face, remembering how she had cried until she choked, her eyes extremely red, looking utterly heartbroken."Not scared anymore?" he asked.Aveline replied, "Of course I'm scared, but I want to know who is behind this. That way, I can be mentally prepared."Lucas asked, "Mentally prepared for what

Just as Jolie turned to leave, she caught sight of a man standing not far away. She froze for a moment. Gavin? What was he doing here? Beside him stood a property manager, seemingly discussing something with him. Jolie hesitated, debating whether to greet him. But before she could decide, Gavin’s gaze shifted away, making the decision for her. Alright. No need to say hello then. She let her half-raised hand fall back to her side and headed toward the elevator. After stepping in, she pressed her floor’s button. Just as the doors were about to close, a hand suddenly reached in, triggering the sensors. The doors slid open again, revealing Gavin’s cool, unreadable gaze. “Mr. Cooper. What a coincidence,” Jolie said awkwardly, now left with no choice but to acknowledge him. Gavin stepped inside without a word, turning his back to her as he pressed the button for the 22nd floor—one floor above hers. Seriously? He had a place here too? In the same building, no less? Jol

Ian was surprised. "What’s so urgent?" Jolie paused for a moment before replying, "It’s about our partnership." "Alright," Ian agreed easily. Jolie quickly sent him her location and then began deliberating on how best to approach the conversation. Since she was the one ending their arrangement, she felt it necessary to handle things with care. After some thought, she decided to invite him to dinner. She couldn’t leave the apartment, but fortunately, there were plenty of ingredients at home. She prepared a simple yet thoughtful meal. By evening, the doorbell rang. Jolie walked to the door and cautiously peeked through the peephole. After confirming it was Ian, she opened the door. "I didn’t expect the address you sent me to be your home," Ian said with a polite, warm smile. "Is it okay for me to come in?" Jolie nodded. "It’s fine. Come in." She handed him a pair of disposable slippers. After switching his shoes, Ian stepped inside and glanced around. "Why are you here?

Jolie nodded. "Yes." Selena continued, “So, because you already had some contact with Gavin, the Quin family saw an opportunity and started pushing you toward him.” Jolie nodded again. “Then go along with it,” Selena said simply. “What?” Jolie looked at her in confusion. “But wouldn’t that mean giving them exactly what they want?” “Oh, you silly girl.” Selena gave her a soft, almost indulgent smile. “Do you think someone like Gavin Cooper is that easy to manipulate? Do you really think the Quin family can control him just by sending you to him? “Quite the opposite. If you truly manage to win him over, to the point where he’s devoted to you, then you’ll hold all the cards. If you tell him to keep his distance from the Quin family, they’ll end up with nothing—no leverage, no benefits. They’d be left with nothing but regret.” Jolie listened, her eyes gradually widening as if a whole new world had opened up before her. Selena spread her hands. “Expand your perspective. The w

Jolie froze, realizing she’d let something slip. Her gaze darted nervously as she stammered, “Oh, uh, maybe? Maybe not? I might have remembered wrong…”Selena narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing her closely. Under that piercing gaze, Jolie’s confidence crumbled, and she finally avoided eye contact altogether. The atmosphere in the living room grew tense as Selena remained silent, simply staring at her. Unable to bear the pressure any longer, Jolie threw up her hands in surrender. “I give up! I’ll confess! Just stop looking at me like that. You’re making me panic!” Selena crossed her arms and raised her chin. “Start talking. Tell me everything.” “Um…” Jolie coughed awkwardly, finding it hard to voice the details. “Hmm?” Selena’s sharp gaze cut through her hesitation, making Jolie deflate instantly. “Well,” Jolie began hesitantly, “at a banquet at the Cooper family home, I was, uh, drugged… and Gavin took me to a room to help me. Then… um… one thing led to another, and… somethi

Selena rattled off a list of her favorite dishes as if reciting a menu, and only then did Jolie feel satisfied and leave her alone. Selena let out a deep breath, visibly relieved. Watching from the side, Aaron reached out and playfully pinched her cheek. “She’s your sister. Why are you so tense and awkward around her?” Selena pushed his hand away and walked to the balcony, her soft lips pressing into a thin line, her expression growing serious. Aaron followed, studying her carefully. “I don’t know,” she said after a long pause. “I feel so much resentment toward the Quin family, but my feelings toward her are complicated. At first, every time I saw her, I’d think of the Quins, and it annoyed me. “But over time, I realized she’s not like the others. She carries the same last name, but she’s different. On the surface, it looks like she’s pampered, but in reality, she’s living a much harder life.” As she spoke, her tone softened. “When I realized that, I found myself getting

Aaron watched the scene unfold with a faint smirk, clearly amused and making no effort to intervene. Selena’s eyes grew even more resentful as she glanced at him, silently begging for rescue. After a moment, Jolie finally released her, noticing the stiffness in her posture. With reddened eyes, she said softly, “I’ll take a look around.”“Go on, go on,” Selena said quickly, waving her hand like she had just been freed from a burden.Jolie began exploring the apartment. The three-hundred-square-meter flat was spacious and fully equipped. With just a few groceries and some basic household items, it was ready to live in. When she returned to the living room, she saw Selena ending a phone call. “I’ve already arranged for someone to pick up what you need. For now, don’t go out,” Selena said firmly.Jolie hesitated. “The flight lands in a few hours. Are you sure no one will realize something’s off?” “They won’t,” Selena replied confidently. She opened her phone and pulled up two pho

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
