Aveline's brows furrowed deeper. Despite everything she had said, Annie still insisted on leaving. Was she really that afraid of her own home?"Then I'll go back with you," Aveline suggested after a moment's thought. She needed to explain the situation to Annie's parents. Given Annie's current condition, she was in no state to do anything; her injured arm simply wouldn't allow it."No, you can't!" Annie shook her head immediately, her face showing even more fear. "Aveline, I was the one who ran into you. My broken arm has nothing to do with you. My family mustn't find out about this. If they do, they... they..." She hesitated, struggling to get the words out, but finally continued, "They'll definitely try to extort money from you."Saying this, she closed her eyes in despair. Trapped in a hopeless situation, she didn't want to drag an innocent person into her troubles.Aveline's frown deepened. Could her parents really be this kind of people?Having grown up without parents, she cou

Aveline felt a mix of emotions, but her smile grew even gentler. "Alright, I’ll make you something nice." She stood up and left.Back at Maple Garden, Selena immediately approached her, asking, "How did it go? Did you manage to get it done? Can you finally tell me what it was all about?"Aveline sighed softly. "It didn't work out. In fact, a lot of things went wrong."Selena was stunned. "What happened?"Aveline briefly recounted the events on the road, not hiding the original plan of getting a divorce.After hearing the whole story, Selena's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? How could all this happen? You were planning to get a divorce today, and then all these things just happened? Could it have been Lucas' doing?"Aveline paused in her washing, realizing she hadn't considered that possibility.But could he have orchestrated one accident, let alone two?Besides, Annie clearly didn't know her, and she even had a fractured arm. Even if this was an act meant to delay her, there was

Lucas' brows furrowed, and he shot Aaron a sharp look. "Got a lot of free time on your hands, don't you?" he asked coldly."Absolutely," Aaron replied without hesitation. "If I weren't free, why would I be hanging around here with you?"Lucas' expression grew even colder. "If you're that idle, I might as well find something for you to do."Aaron chuckled and said, "No need for that. I'm quite enjoying my leisure right now. Oh, by the way, you might not know this, but Rina is pregnant and starting to pressure Russell into marriage."Lucas' lips curved slightly. "When's the wedding? I'll make sure to prepare a generous gift.""Would you look at that!" Aaron couldn't help but remark. "You're practically gloating now that you know Russell's getting married. He's no longer a threat to you, is he? But don't get too comfortable. Don't forget, Sidney's still hanging around Aveline."He took another bite of his apple, chewing thoughtfully before adding, "Though, I've got to admit, Sidney's not

Hearing this, Lucas' brows furrowed immediately. He glanced at Juliet first and said calmly, "Thank you for staying with my grandmother and making sure she didn’t get lost."Juliet's eyes brightened as she looked at Lucas' handsome face. She shook her head and replied, "You're welcome. I really enjoy chatting with Madam Barbara."She smiled at Barbara, who was immediately delighted. "Such a lovely granddaughter-in-law."Juliet blushed at the compliment."Miss Cooper, could we have a word outside?" Lucas asked."Sure, no problem," Juliet nodded.She gently withdrew her hand from Barbara's grasp and reassured her, "Madam Barbara, I need to use the restroom. I'll be back to keep you company soon, alright?"Barbara nodded eagerly. "Okay, okay, just make sure you come back, my dear.""Yes, yes!" Juliet nodded and then stepped out of the room.In the hallway, Juliet's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Lucas, who stood tall and handsome. A blush crept across her cheeks. She had fallen for h

Lucas kept quiet and frowned. Realizing that Barbara couldn't see the photo on the phone clearly, he decided to call Aveline directly."Hello?"The call was quickly answered, and a soft, gentle voice came through."I’m sending someone to bring you to the nursing home," Lucas said. "Grandma isn't in a good state."Aveline was taken aback and asked, "What happened?""You'll know when you get here," Lucas replied curtly before hanging up.Barbara was still anxiously asking for her granddaughter-in-law. Lucas reassured her, "I've sent someone to bring her over. She'll be here soon. Why don't you rest for a bit?"But Barbara looked like she was about to cry, seemingly blaming Lucas for losing such a big granddaughter-in-law.Lucas was speechless.Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door."Come in," Lucas called out, and Aveline pushed the door open, her expression filled with worry. Her hair was slightly disheveled, showing her concern."What's wrong with Grandma?" she asked urge

The nurse had already brought over the ice pack. Lucas grabbed Aveline's hand and led her out to the sitting area. He sat her down on the sofa and pressed the ice pack directly against her cheek."Ouch..." The coldness made Aveline take a sharp breath. She reached out her hand and said, "I can do it myself.""No, you can't control the pressure properly," Lucas replied, refusing to give her the ice pack. He stayed right next to her, holding it against her cheek himself.Aveline wanted to roll her eyes.This was her own face—how could she not control the pressure?Aveline, eager to maintain her distance, reached for the ice pack. But in her haste, her hand missed its mark and instead landed squarely on his.Lucas chuckled softly. "If you wanted to hold my hand, you could've just said so. No need to beat around the bush. Here, I'll let you."With that, he took her hand in his other hand, holding it firmly."Are you crazy?" Aveline snapped. When did she ever want to hold his hand? She j

Without even opening his eyes, Lucas replied coolly, "I have so many cars. I'll sit in whichever one I want."Aveline was speechless.Fair enough. She decided not to say anything more. Closing the car door, the vehicle started and drove away from the nursing home.At that moment, Lucas's phone rang. He pulled it out to see that it was a call from Aaron."What is it?" he answered, his tone indifferent.Aaron snickered. "What's going on? You're so grumpy just because I didn’t go with you?""Shut up." Lucas' tone turned even colder, and he was about to hang up."Wait!" Aaron quickly interjected. "I went to check on that Juliet's identity. Guess who she is?"Lucas, clearly uninterested, remained silent. If Aaron were there in person, he would see Lucas' expression looking particularly unpleasant.Aaron, sensing Lucas's mood, stopped teasing and went straight to the point. "She's the heiress of the Cooper family in Larbor City, Gernard's sister. From what I've heard, she's spoiled and arro

Aveline felt a bit surprised. Ever since she had last seen him at the breakfast shop, he hadn't shown up again. His sudden appearance today was indeed unexpected. After all, she had made things quite clear before.She smiled slightly and nodded. "Sure, we're almost home anyway. By the way, have you had dinner?"Russell nodded. "Yeah, I have."Aveline smiled again. "Then I don't need to cook."Russell's lips curved into a smile. His delicate, handsome face took on a more mischievous look, his beautiful eyes holding an unreadable emotion as he gazed at her. Aveline tried not to think too much about it.The elevator doors opened, and they both entered the apartment.Selena wasn't home, which puzzled Aveline, but she didn't ask about it."What would you like to drink?" she asked, glancing at Russell.But Russell kept his gaze fixed on her and said, "Aveline, stop fussing around. Just sit down."Aveline paused, then grabbed two glasses of juice and sat down on the living room sofa.As twil

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
