After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 757
"Did I come at a bad time?" Lucas' voice, laced with sarcasm, cut through the room just as Aveline managed to steady herself. Her head throbbed even harder.Zachary frowned and turned to Lucas. "You're mistaken. She felt unwell, and I was just helping her."Lucas walked over, noting Aveline's flushed cheeks and her lack of energy. She didn't look well at all. His brow furrowed, and without a word, he bent down and scooped her up in his arms.Zachary released her at the right moment and said, "She seems to have a fever. You should take her to the town hospital right away."Lucas' narrowed eyes were filled with a frosty chill as he shot Zachary a cold look before striding out.Baron and Braden had already slipped away quietly.Lucas carried Aveline to the car, eyeing the coat she wore with irritation. He swiftly tore it off and tossed it out.Feverish and dazed, Aveline squinted at Lucas, her voice hoarse. "Don't be unreasonable. He was just worried I’d catch a cold."Lucas replied cool

Aveline replied, "No need."She picked up the utensils and began to eat. After nearly a day and a night without food, she was starving and no longer cared about the way he was watching her, almost obsessively.Lucas sat by the side of her bed, his gaze fixed intently on her. He seemed so mesmerized that he reached out to touch her face.“What are you doing?” Aveline immediately dodged his touch, eyeing him warily.Lucas’ hand froze in mid-air. “Your hair fell in your face. I thought it might get in the way while you’re eating, so I was just going to help you tuck it back.”Aveline reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I can do it myself.”Lucas smiled faintly. "You're very capable."Aveline gave him a look. What was wrong with this man?Ignoring him, she focused on finishing her meal. Once she was done, she asked, “How’s the orphanage?”Lucas shrugged. "How would I know?"It wasn’t his concern.Aveline paused, then asked, “Have you found out who started the fire?”Hearing thi

Aveline looked at him and said, "But I don’t need you by my side."Lucas reached out and tapped her forehead lightly. “Aveline, where did you learn this from? You just asked me to help investigate, and now you're saying you don’t need me?”Aveline pulled back a little and replied, "Aren't you expecting something in return?"If he didn’t want anything, maybe she could believe his words. But his intentions were too obvious. She couldn’t trust him.A flicker of exasperation passed through Lucas' sharp eyes. "The only thing I want in return is for you to become addicted to my body and my capability in bed."Aveline stared at him, utterly stunned.Was he serious?"What’s with that look?" Lucas guessed what she was thinking from her expression. “Did you think I only cared about my own pleasure?”He leaned in closer, his deep, magnetic voice dangerously seductive. “Aveline, be honest with yourself—haven't I always made sure you were satisfied first before thinking of myself?”Aveline felt her

Hearing this, Lucas closed his laptop, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips as he looked at her. "Are you asking me for advice?"Aveline nodded. "Yes, after all, your family is far more complicated than mine."Lucas felt a slight sting at that remark, but he pushed it aside. After a brief pause, he said, "If it were me, I'd first find out who set the fire. If it was Juliet, I’d present the evidence and the paternity test to the Cooper family without hesitation. If it was the Cooper family, I’d find a way to destroy them."Aveline was taken aback. Her own thoughts had only gone as far as not acknowledging the Cooper family if they were behind the fire, pretending she knew nothing about it. But Lucas’s approach was far more ruthless.Seeing her reaction, Lucas seemed to read her mind. "Aveline, some people already know about you. You may want to ignore it all, but keeping quiet can be dangerous. They might try to eliminate you to protect themselves. After all, if you’re

Lucas agreed, and a wave of excitement surged through Aveline's heart.He agreed! He finally agreed!The marriage that had caused her so much pain, despair, and heartache was finally going to end!Aveline struggled to contain her excitement, her eyes fixed on his handsome features. "Are you serious? You’re not joking with me, right?"Lucas gave a slight nod. "I'm serious, Aveline. When it comes to discussing divorce, have I ever been the one to back down?"He looked at her with a faint smile, almost teasing.Aveline was speechless.Alright, she admitted it. She had been the one who wavered every time. First, there was the situation with Annie, and now there was the mess with Hilda. But this time, she was certain that the outcome wouldn’t be like before.She believed things would be different on the third try.Lucas still held her hand firmly. "Since I said I’m going to win you back, I need to show some sincerity. I won't do what you dislike, and I'll double down on everything you love.

“No,” Aveline replied firmly.She quickly reached out and pressed the elevator’s close button. The doors slowly shut, blocking out Lucas' sharp, handsome face. She let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief.She had to admit that this new tactic of Lucas caught her off guard. She was worried she might end up agreeing to his requests if she wasn’t careful.Stay calm. She had to stay calm.…When Aveline got home, she found Selena lounging on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. Hearing the door, Selena turned her head, and then jumped up, rushing over with excitement.“My beautiful Ave! I missed you so much!”Selena's enthusiasm was overwhelming for most people. Aveline stumbled back a few steps, a bit helpless. “I wasn’t even gone for that long.”“But I missed you anyway!” Selena said, clinging to her dramatically.Aveline felt the goosebumps rise on her skin once more and quickly said, “I’ve got a cold and don’t feel too great. Don’t hug me so tight—I can’t breathe.”Selena imme

Selena looked at her and asked, "So when are you planning to go to Larbor City?"Aveline replied, "I’ll wait until the divorce with Lucas is finalized."“What?” Selena was shocked again. “Did I hear that right? He actually agreed to a divorce?”“Yes, he did.” Aveline nodded. “To be honest, I’m surprised too. But when I thought about it, I realized that every time we’ve talked about divorce, he’s agreed and showed up. It was me who kept backing out.”Selena looked incredulous. “After all the back-and-forth, he’s finally giving in? What’s he up to?”“I don’t know.” Aveline shook her head, then yawned. "I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. You should get some rest too."Selena nodded. “Alright, you get some sleep. I’ll head out.”She grabbed her bag and was about to leave, but at the door, she paused. “Oh, by the way, Aveline, Russ’ wedding is in three days. Are you really not going?”Aveline stopped for a moment and replied, "No, I'm not going."Russell didn’t want her there, and she was ind

Lucas turned and stumbled back toward his bedroom, collapsing face-first onto the bed, completely drained of energy.Aveline glanced around before starting to search for the first aid kit. After a few minutes, she finally found it beside the TV cabinet. She pulled out a thermometer and walked back into the bedroom."Let's check your temperature first."She approached the bed and aimed the digital thermometer at Lucas’ forehead. The reading quickly appeared on the small screen—39 degrees Celsius.Definitely a high fever.Aveline found some fever-reducing medication, filled a glass with water, and returned to the bedroom."Lucas, take the medicine."The man lying on the bed didn’t respond.She placed the water and pills on the side table and gently pushed his shoulder. Still no reaction."Lucas?"Aveline reached out to touch his face. The moment her fingers brushed his skin, she felt a wave of intense heat radiating from him. Before she could react, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and sh
