After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 621
The elevator doors remained open, leaving Aveline stuck in a dilemma. She was too scared to step out yet staying inside with the man felt equally dangerous. She could feel his cold, unsettling gaze fixed on her, and her palms began to sweat as tension gripped her.Seconds ticked by, and the elevator began to beep, signaling that the doors had been open too long."Are you getting in or out?" The man finally spoke, his voice raspy and filled with impatience, a voice she didn’t recognize.Aveline bit her lip, wondering why Mason still hadn’t arrived. Even if he had to run, he should have been there by now.But with the man growing more agitated, she knew she couldn’t stall any longer. Glancing at the dark, empty hallway outside, she made the difficult choice to stay in the elevator. At least there were security cameras inside, offering a sliver of protection. If she stepped out into that hallway, anything could happen.She took a few steps back and pressed the button to close the doors.

Aveline jumped in fright! The string of unsettling events that night had nearly driven her to the edge—she was on the brink of a nervous breakdown.She quickly fumbled with her keys, desperate to get inside. But just as she managed to open the door, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder and shoved her into the apartment, the figure following closely behind."Ah!" Aveline screamed, struggling wildly. She grabbed a heavy ceramic cat figurine from the entryway table and swung it at her assailant.The figurine was solid and heavy—definitely capable of doing some serious damage."Aveline." Lucas’ deep voice cut through the chaos as he caught her wrist, his brow furrowing as he looked at her pale, panicked face. "It’s me."Aveline’s hand froze mid-swing. Seeing Lucas’ familiar, striking face, her breath came in ragged gasps, her chest heaving."What is wrong with you?" she shouted. "Why did you suddenly barge in? Why didn’t you make a sound? Are you insane?"She pounded on his chest with her

Aveline hesitated, suddenly considering a possibility she hadn’t thought of before. Could Lucas have secretly arranged for her protection? Maybe those two men were actually there to keep an eye on her.Her feelings grew more complicated.Selena chimed in, "Even if he’s trying to protect you, Aveline, it’s likely for his own reasons."Aveline sighed. "I just don’t get it.""What don’t you get?" "I don’t understand what he really wants," Aveline said with a hint of frustration. "When I was by his side, he was always unpredictable. But now that I’m not around, he seems to be even more intense."She suddenly turned to Selena. "Do you think there’s really something wrong with him?"Selena laughed at her comment. "Well, if you put it that way, maybe he does have some issues."After all, how else could you explain his constant mood swings and erratic behavior?Aveline shook her head. "Forget it. I won’t overthink it. Once I finish the design for his villa, I can finally walk away."Selena no

"How about a tie?" Selena suggested, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at the row of ties hanging on the wall.Aveline hesitated. "Do you think that's appropriate?""Why not?" Selena said with a smile. "You're both single, and it’s just a tie—it’s nothing too concerning."Aveline still felt a bit uncertain. She looked around the store, noting it was a high-end brand where even a shirt started at a hefty price. Finally, she walked over to the dress shirts, carefully selecting a white one before holding it up. "How about this?"Selena glanced at it and nodded, "That works too, but I don’t think Russell usually goes for this style. He’s more into casual wear."Aveline smiled. "Exactly, which is why I’m getting it. Since he doesn’t wear this often, there’s less chance of anyone reading too much into it."Selena blinked, clearly misinterpreting Aveline’s reasoning. "Oh, I see! So, you’re hoping he’ll keep it tucked away as a special item? Who knew you had such a clever strategy, Aveline?"A

Aveline tightened her grip on the bag, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes as she asked, "How did you know?"Aaron chuckled and then, with a knowing look, said, "I get it, I totally get it. You're preparing a surprise, right? Fine, I won't ask anymore."Aveline looked completely puzzled.But after a moment's thought, she realized that they were all part of the same circle, so it wasn't surprising that Aaron knew about Russell's birthday.Aveline didn't respond. She felt indifferent toward Aaron and had nothing to discuss with him.However, Aaron pulled out his phone and sent a message to Lucas."Guess who I just saw in the elevator?"Lucas replied, "Who?"Aaron texted, "Your ex-wife!"Lucas fell silent.Aaron texted, "Hahaha! But she was holding a bag, probably a birthday gift for you. But how did she know we're having a party here today?"Lucas asked, "Are you with her?"Aaron texted, “Yeah, in the elevator."Lucas replied, “Oh.”Aaron responded, "What do you mean by 'oh'?"Des

Aaron carefully observed Lucas' expression. He noticed that his demeanor had quickly turned cold, and even his entire aura had shifted.Aaron cleared his throat and said, "Well, maybe I got it wrong. He wasn’t here to celebrate your birthday. She was...""Shut up!"Lucas snapped, handing the phone back to him before getting up and walking away.Aaron fumbled to catch the phone and hurriedly asked, "Hey, where are you going?"...On the same floor, in another private room.Aveline pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Russell seated in the middle of the sofa, surrounded by a group of people. The atmosphere in the room was lively, and everyone was complimenting him."Russ," Aveline greeted as she approached, a faint smile appearing on her face.Russell heard her voice and looked her way. A charming smile immediately spread across his delicate, handsome face. "You’re here, have a seat."Seeing this, the people around quickly made space for Aveline.She walked over and handed him a b

Aveline pulled her hand back, giving Rina a cold look. "I have the right to be wherever I want. Don’t you think you’re overstepping, Miss Johnson?"Rina's face darkened further. "You wretch! How dare you show up at Russ’s birthday party? Get out!""Rina!"Russell's voice was noticeably colder as he stood up, pulling Aveline behind him. His usually warm eyes now held a hint of frost as he looked at Rina."Aveline is my guest.""Russ, she’s nothing but a fickle, untrustworthy woman who—"Seeing Russell stand up for Aveline only made Rina’s expression sour even more. She pointed accusingly at Aveline, her face full of resentment.Russell grasped her wrist, gently lowering her hand. "She’s my guest. She came to celebrate my birthday. Rina, you can’t act like this.""Russ!"Rina was furious. She wanted to throw Aveline out! She couldn’t stand seeing another woman near Russell! But with Russell’s expression already darkening, she knew that if she pushed any further, he might kick her out ins

Aveline stood quietly in the corner, watching Russell surrounded by the crowd, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.As the cheers filled the room, Russell, under the gaze of everyone, made a wish and blew out the candles. The lights in the room flickered back on, and he picked up the knife to cut the cake. Everyone watched eagerly, especially Rina, who looked at him with anticipation.In the past, Russell always gave the first slice of cake to her, and she was certain this year would be no different.But to her surprise, Russell turned and walked over to Aveline, holding the cake."This is for you."His handsome face carried a soft smile as he handed the cake to Aveline.Caught off guard, Aveline quickly accepted it. "Thank you."Russell reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his gesture full of affection.Just then, the door to the room suddenly burst open, the noise drawing everyone's attention. Lucas entered, carrying an air of cold intensity.Russell’s hand was still resting

Selena continued her playful banter, even giving Lucas a pointed glare without missing a beat.Aveline stifled a laugh, listening carefully to the story Selena was recounting. After a moment of thought, she asked, "So, you stayed downstairs that long because you were planning to help out?"Selena's expression shifted to one of mild discomfort, her tone defensive. "I wasn’t going to help. If she’s getting pushed around, she deserves it!"Her words didn’t fool Aveline. She had known Selena for years and was well aware of her complex feelings toward the Quin family. While Selena often expressed her disdain for her parents, she had never spoken ill of Jolie.It was clear to Aveline that Selena cared about her sister, even if she wouldn’t admit it outright. But since Selena wasn’t ready to talk about it, Aveline decided not to press the issue."Alright, let’s eat. The food’s here.""Good idea."...Downstairs.After the man had scurried off, Jolie looked visibly more relaxed. Once she had f

"Yes, sir," replied the man across from Gavin, who was clearly his assistant, Quentin Rhett.Jolie had figured out the situation. The Southside business district project was primarily led by Cooper Enterprises, with various companies competing for the most lucrative contracts and land rights. It seemed the Lowe family’s bid had been favored so far.The arrogant man sitting across from her immediately adopted a more respectful demeanor upon recognizing Gavin. "Mr. Cooper, our bid is solid. There are no issues."Gavin, still ignoring him, continued with his meal.Jolie smirked slightly before standing up and walking directly to Gavin’s table."Hey, you—" The man started, then quickly silenced himself, nervously watching Gavin's reaction to her. If they were connected, his earlier attitude would make things extremely awkward for him.Without hesitation, Jolie called over a server, requested utensils, and casually began eating at Gavin’s table.Quentin, surprised by her boldness, spoke up,

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
