After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 652
"Are you full already?" Lucas looked at her seriously and asked, "You've eaten very little."Aveline glanced coldly at him. "Since when do you have to control how much I eat?"Lucas raised an eyebrow and didn’t continue speaking. Instead, he took her plate and started eating her leftovers.Aveline was slightly stunned by his action.Everyone else saw this scene and didn’t know what to say.It seemed fine?They were married after all.Even though they were in the midst of divorce proceedings, they had once loved each other.Selena rolled her eyes dramatically, "Disgusting.""I want to go back to my room," Aveline said.Selena got up. "I’ll help you."Aveline nodded and then stood up with Selena’s help.At that moment, Lucas put down his utensils, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up, immediately lifting her into his arms."What are you doing?" Aveline exclaimed, grabbing his collar as if she feared he would throw her down.Lucas said, "You're walking too slowly. Let me carry you

Russell, whose eyes usually held a carefree smile, now stared at Aveline with serious intent.Previously, his demeanor was relaxed and casual, often appearing before Aveline with various hair colors.Aveline suddenly realized he seemed to have dyed his hair back to black, as it had been a long time since she’d seen him with any other color.She gave a small smile. "Yeah, I understand."Russell reached out, lightly tousling her hair, a playful glint in his eyes. "Get some rest. I'll visit you again soon.""Okay."Aveline nodded, watching him leave.Selena, after seeing him out, returned with an excited expression."My God! What was that? Was that a confession? A hint? Was it?"Selena pounced beside Aveline, asking excitedly.Aveline shook her head. "I don't know."Selena looked at her. "When Russell said those words to you, didn’t your heart flutter for a moment? Like there were butterflies in your stomach?"Aveline looked at her helplessly. "At a time like this, you’re still thinking a

Aveline stared at Lucas, his stern features catching her off guard. “What do you mean by that?”A faint, teasing smile tugged at the corners of Lucas’ lips, and there was a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Because you sued me, I went bankrupt faster, lost the board’s trust, and now I’m no longer the president of DK Enterprises. I’m unemployed. So, as my legal wife, you’re responsible for me.”Aveline’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing! What did he just say?The consequences he kept talking about meant that because he failed, she had to take responsibility for him? What kind of twisted logic was that?“No way! I won’t take care of you!” Aveline shook her head, still in disbelief. What a ridiculous joke.He had been the one refusing to divorce her, and now that he had failed, how was that her fault?If he had divorced her earlier, would the Tudor family have turned against him? Would he have ended up like this?Lucas casually sat down next to her and said,

"Sigh... He’s completely shattered my worldview. It’s like he has no sense of decency or shame," Selena muttered.Aveline stared blankly ahead, not responding. She never expected that Lucas’ backup plan would be this...It seemed he didn’t care at all about being kicked out of DK Enterprises. He still had the energy to come here and make her life difficult.What was he thinking?Noticing Aveline’s lack of response, Selena waved a hand in front of her face. "Ave?""Hmm?" Aveline snapped back to reality. "It looks like, for the foreseeable future, we’ll be seeing him every day."Selena pulled a face. "But I don’t want to see him.""Then you should move out."Lucas’ deep voice cut in, causing both women to look up. He was leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness as he stared at Selena.Selena sneered. "You think I’ll move out just because you said so? Who do you think you are?"Lucas pointed at Aveline. "She’s the boss, and I’m also the co-own

Aaron’s reply was clearly meant to provoke Lucas, and he hung up immediately after. Lucas let out a quiet scoff, then reached into his pocket for a cigarette, lighting it up...It was dusk, and the sunset painted the western sky in a dazzling array of colors. Aveline, feeling tired, sat down on a bench, admiring the serene beauty of the lake reflecting the deep blue sky above.Selena handed her a bottle of water and said, "Ave, I have a feeling..."She hesitated.Aveline took a sip of water, looking at her curiously. "Hmm? What is it?"Selena sighed softly. "Looks like Lucas is trying to latch onto you. When force didn’t get him anywhere, he's now opting for a gentler approach."Aveline’s grip tightened on the water bottle.Selena, with her usual playful demeanor gone, looked at Aveline seriously and asked, "Are you going to waver?"Aveline’s lashes fluttered as she shook her head. "No."Selena pressed, "Even though he was once the love of your life, and now he’s showing remorse, want

"Hmm?" Lucas paused, staring at Aveline. "Are you sure you want me to toss it over?" Aveline responded firmly, "I'm sure." No way would she let him come any closer. "Alright." Lucas nodded, then casually tossed the pajamas toward her. Aveline reached out to catch them, but they slipped through her fingers and fell to the floor, landing in a puddle of water. The pajamas were quickly soaked, making them unusable. "You..." Aveline looked up, glaring at Lucas. "Did you do that on purpose?" Lucas' sharp, handsome face showed nothing but innocence. "You told me to throw them, and I did. You didn’t catch them, so how is that my fault?" He acted as if Aveline was the one being unreasonable. Aveline was fuming. "Lucas, I'm freezing, and I’m not in the mood for games. Get Selena!" Lucas stared at her for a long moment before suddenly walking over. In her shocked gaze, he lifted her into his arms. "Put me down!" Aveline's body tensed up immediately. His warm hands pres

Lucas casually slipped his hands into his pockets and strolled out of the master bedroom, as if he hadn’t just done something so outrageous.Selena was so furious that she stomped her foot. "What a piece of work! He’s really pushing his luck!"Aveline was speechless.She remained silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly. "You should go rest."Selena, at a loss for words, could only nod in agreement.Lying in bed, Aveline pondered how she would handle the days ahead. Should she leave Maple Garden? Go somewhere else? But knowing Lucas, he would undoubtedly follow her wherever she went.And from the looks of it, he wasn’t seeking her forgiveness at all—he was just being plain stubborn.Aveline turned over, unable to sleep.The next day.She emerged from the bedroom with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing her, Selena immediately felt a pang of sympathy."Ave, didn’t you sleep well last night?"Aveline nodded. "Barely slept. I couldn’t stop thinking."Just then, Lucas stepped out of the

Lucas had been staying there for a week. Aside from the first night when he caused a bit of a stir by deliberately entering Aveline's bathroom, nothing else of note had happened since. The few of them managed to coexist peacefully.Selena had truly mastered the art of ignoring him, treating Lucas like just another tenant.Lucas spent his days either exercising or reading, carrying himself with the laid-back air of someone who had already retired. Even though the Tudor family was in the process of merging with DK Enterprises, he seemed completely unbothered, as if DK Enterprises wasn’t the product of his hard work and dedication.Aveline watched the news and her emotions conflicted. After graduating college, she began working at DK Enterprises and grew deeply attached to the company. If it hadn’t been for everything that happened later, she would never have left so easily.She felt so affected by the situation, so why was Lucas so indifferent?Unable to hold back any longer, she knock

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
