After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 672
Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent. Selena was stunned, having never imagined that Lucas had such a tragic past. She opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it and remained quiet. Instead, she focused on Aveline, knowing that whatever decision needed to be made would ultimately be up to her.The room fell into a quiet stillness.After what felt like an eternity, the doors to the emergency room finally opened, and Lucas was wheeled out.Aaron stepped forward and asked, "How is he?"Aveline stood up as well, but as she did, her body wobbled slightly. Selena quickly steadied her, preventing her from falling.The doctor replied, "He has two broken ribs but no other major injuries. He just needs time to recover."Lucas was moved to a VIP room.Aaron arranged for 24-hour care to be provided by a nurse.Standing by the bedside, Aveline gazed at the still-unconscious Lucas for a long moment before reaching out and gently poking his face."Lucas, does it hu

Upon hearing this, Aveline quickly sat up, but she soon collected herself and replied, "He’s in the hospital. The doctors should be taking care of him."Aaron's tone grew colder. "But he’s been calling out your name, Aveline. After everything you two have been through, I know you're about to divorce, but that doesn’t mean you have to cut each other off completely. He’s injured because of you—don’t you think you should be here for him?"Aveline closed her eyes for a moment before replying, "I’m on my way."After hanging up, she changed clothes, grabbed her car keys, and left.When she arrived at the hospital, the doctors were attending to Lucas."Ave... Ave..." As she approached, she heard him murmuring her name.Aveline paused, hesitating for a moment before walking over and taking his hand. "Lucas, I’m here."The next second, his grip tightened around hers, and the murmuring stopped. His condition seemed to stabilize.Seeing this, Aaron said, "Stay with him until his fever breaks."A

Lucas closed his eyes, clearly looking exhausted. Aveline watched him for a moment without saying anything, then turned and left the room.She was hungry and decided to go out for breakfast.While she was at the breakfast spot, Selena called her."Ave, where did you disappear to so early in the morning?""I’m at the hospital," Aveline replied.Selena paused, then asked, "Are you there to check if he’s still alive and able to make it to court?"Aveline gave a slight smirk. "Real funny, Selena."Selena teased, "Otherwise, I can’t figure out why you’d be at the hospital this early. It couldn’t be for love, right?"Aveline took a sip of her porridge and said, "I came over last night.""So, you’re really doing it out of love," Selena teased again.Selena’s playful banter lifted Aveline’s spirits a little. She gave a brief rundown of the situation.Selena offered her opinion, "He’s a clever one. He’s definitely doing it on purpose, and the worst part is, he’s got every reason to. That’s what

Russell instinctively wanted to go after her, but Aaron stepped in, blocking his path."Mr. Skyler, didn’t you notice she just turned you down? Chasing after her now would make you seem desperate," Aaron remarked with a smirk.Russell’s tone was cold. "What does this have to do with you?"Aaron raised an eyebrow. "How does it not? They’re still married, and she’s my friend’s wife. With my friend lying in a hospital bed, I can’t just stand by and watch you try to steal her away."He looked Russell up and down with disdain, his voice laced with contempt. "Let’s be real—if it were someone decent trying to win her over, I might step back. But you? Juggling Rina to secure your spot in the Skyler family while cozying up to Aveline—doesn’t that make you feel even a little bit disgusted?"Russell’s expression darkened further.Aaron patted his shoulder, adding, "I’ve seen some low moves in my time, but you, Russell, take the cake."With that, Aaron turned and walked away, feeling quite satisfi

At the hospital. After returning, Aaron animatedly recounted the events at the breakfast spot.Lucas listened for a while before suddenly interrupting him. "Did she really say that?"Aaron paused, then realized Lucas was asking about Aveline rejecting Russell. He nodded. "Yeah, she seemed a bit awkward, clearly not expecting Russell to suddenly confess to her."Lucas frowned. She didn’t like Russell.Knowing this should have made him happy. But for some reason, his mood only grew heavier.If she didn’t like Russell, could it be that she liked Sidney?The thought made his expression darken even more. The problem was, there were too many men around her, giving her plenty of options.He reached out and looked at Aaron. "Give me the phone."Aaron handed it over, asking, "What are you planning?"Lucas took the phone and dialed a number, his tone cold. "Fire Sidney."Maria, on the other end, sounded groggy, like she had just woken up. "Huh? Why?""That’s an order," Lucas replied firmly.Mar

Aaron looked puzzled. "What’s going on?"Lucas frowned. "I don’t know. Just the smell of that food makes me want to vomit."Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I’ll have someone prepare a meal and bring it over. Let’s see how you react to that."Lucas didn’t refuse, just closed his eyes wearily.---At Maple Garden, Aveline and Selena finished lunch and then settled in the living room to play video games."Help me, please! I need backup!" "Ah, we both died!""How is this jungle player so overpowered?"Selena’s constant cries of frustration filled the room. Every time they lost a game, she’d collapse on the couch, only to bounce back with renewed determination when the next round started. Aveline, on the other hand, remained calm and steady, her performance consistently average.Just then, her phone rang. Since she was in the middle of a game, she put it on speaker and continued playing while answering."Hello?"Aaron’s voice came through. "Aveline, I need a favor."Selena immediate

"That would be too much trouble," Aveline replied calmly, her nonchalant attitude clearly frustrating Aaron, who turned to Lucas, only to see him staring intently at Aveline."Lucas, you..." Aaron began."Is it still the same account number?" Lucas interrupted, getting straight to the point.Aaron was left speechless. Really, buddy? Was that how he wanted to spend his money? Aaron couldn’t help but feel exasperated.Aveline nodded. "Yes, the same one."Lucas continued, "I’ll have Desmond transfer the money. You’ll be in charge of my meals for the next month."Aveline raised an eyebrow, sensing this agreement might have been made a bit too hastily. Maybe she should have asked for ten million instead. Oh well...Aaron glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally deciding to keep his thoughts to himself. “Alright, if they’re both okay with it, who am I to interfere?” he thought.Lucas finished all the food Aveline had brought, with no sign of discomfort whatsoever.Aaron st

"Yes, that’s right." Aveline nodded, her clear eyes fixed on him. "So, are you going to sign it?"Lucas’ expression cooled as he looked away, refusing to take the divorce papers she offered.Unfazed, Aveline put the papers back in her bag. She knew it was only a matter of time before he would sign. She couldn’t help but regret not signing when he had people deliver the divorce papers every day. She must have been out of her mind back then.After Lucas finished his meal, Aveline asked again, "Will you sign now?"Lucas gave her a cold stare. "If I don’t sign, are you going to ask me every day?""Yes," Aveline replied firmly.Lucas clenched his teeth slightly. "Aveline, I’ve told you before—I’m not going to divorce you."Aveline shrugged. "But what’s the point of staying married? I don’t love you."In the past, he found that statement laughable. Love? What did that matter? He didn’t need it. But now, hearing her say it so calmly, his chest tightened painfully, making it hard to breathe.H

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
