After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 705
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

Aveline found herself at a loss for words, left only with silence in response.Russell smiled faintly and stood up, saying, "I'll be going now. Get some rest. If you ever run into any problems, just give me a call."He rose from his seat, and Aveline followed suit, watching as he left. When the door closed, she couldn't help but sigh.How did things end up going in this direction?She sat back down on the sofa, taking small sips of juice, her thoughts drifting back to everything that had happened since she met Russell. It all gave her a bit of a headache.She owed him a lot. But she didn't know how to repay it.Aveline sighed again and stood up, heading to the study....In a beautifully set restaurant, Selena held up her phone, taking photos. Her makeup was flawlessly done, her face bright and lovely, and her eyes sparkled with light as she looked into the camera.Aaron sat across from her, lounging casually in his chair, a diamond necklace around his neck reflecting a dazzling light

"Ha!" Selena looked at him, utterly incredulous. "Aaron, if that's how you feel, then what's the point of us talking? Why don't you just drag me back, chain me up with a couple of locks, and be done with it? After all, I have no right to negotiate with you."She was genuinely angry now!What was wrong with this man? Could he not have a proper conversation? What did he mean by saying she had no right?It was he who insisted on pursuing her and wanting to be with her. How did she suddenly have no say in the matter?Selena stood up, ready to leave."Stop," Aaron's tone grew colder, his brows furrowing as his expression darkened. "Sit down!"Selena looked at him. "Can we talk properly?"Aaron was silent for a moment before saying, "But what kind of condition is that?"Selena smirked slightly. "Why wouldn't it be a condition? Aaron, I don't really want to get too involved with you, but I also don't mind being with you. However, there should be a time frame, right? Given your status, you'll

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
