Patrick chuckled warmly. "No need to rush. Let’s eat first, and we can discuss as we go."Aveline kept her expression calm. "You mentioned earlier that my initial draft wasn’t what you were looking for. Could you tell me what specifically you found unsatisfactory?"The smile on Patrick's face faded slightly. "Miss Young, I’m not the type who likes to discuss business over a meal."Aveline paused for a moment, then replied, "Alright, understood."Seeing her tactfully drop the subject, Patrick’s demeanor softened a bit."Are you from Cloudflare City, Miss Young? Being an architectural designer must be quite demanding, isn't it? You know, someone as beautiful as you could easily find a more relaxed and comfortable job. There's no need to work so hard," he began chatting, though his choice of topic felt a bit inappropriate.Aveline responded mildly, "I’m genuinely interested in architectural design, so I've stuck with it."Patrick nodded. "That's impressive, making a career out of somethin

Aveline paused for a moment, then closed the box and said to Baron, "I like it very much."Baron nodded. "Good, I’ll let Mr. Tudor know. Enjoy your meal, Mrs. Tudor."With that, he turned and left, though his gaze lingered on Patrick for a moment—a look filled with cold warning that sent a chill down Patrick’s spine.The door closed again.Aveline remained calm as she looked up at Patrick, who no longer seemed as relaxed as before."Ahem… So, you’re Mrs. Tudor. I’m sorry, I didn't realize." Patrick coughed awkwardly, trying to recover.Aveline replied evenly, "No need to apologize, Mr. Gunner. Right now, I’m just your designer. Feel free to share any requests you have."Requests? He wouldn't dare make any now!But still...Patrick's eyes flickered nervously. "Oh, about the draft you mentioned earlier? On second thought, I think your design is exactly what I wanted. No issues at all. Just follow your original inspiration and show me the final version when it’s ready."Aveline raised an

Lucas didn't take the box. His eyes remained fixed on her as he said, "Even if you don’t like it now, keep it. One day, when you do like it, you can wear it."Aveline fell silent for a moment before replying, "Can't you tell? I don't want it."Lucas simply replied, "But I’ve already given it to you. Whether you want it or not, it’s yours. If you really don’t want it, go ahead and toss it. Maybe some beggar will find it and become rich overnight."Aveline’s fingers tightened around the box slightly. She knew the pink diamond inside was worth a fortune, likely not less than two million dollars. Throwing away something so valuable was out of the question.Seeing her hesitation, Lucas added, "Just keep it. You’ll come to like it someday."What nonsense... She didn’t like it now; why would she like it in the future? Still, she didn’t throw it away but placed it on her lap instead.Lucas glanced at her pale wrist and paused before saying, "If you wore it, it would look beautiful."Avelin

Aveline moved to the side, picking up a baseball bat from the corner, her eyes fixed intently on the door.The person made another attempt to enter the passcode, and again got it wrong!Her expression darkened further. It seemed she would need to install a security camera at the entrance to see what was happening outside.After one more failed attempt, there was finally silence.Aveline pulled out her phone and sent a message to Baron.“There seems to be someone at my door. Can you discreetly come up and check?”Baron replied, “On my way, Mrs. Tudor!”With Baron's reply, she waited quietly.About ten minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door."It's me."Lucas' deep, magnetic voice came from the other side.Aveline froze for a moment before walking over to open the door.Lucas stood there in silk pajamas, his short hair slightly tousled. His face was handsome, and his eyes were dark."Why are you here?" she asked, surprised. She had called for Baron, not him.Lucas asked, "Are

Aveline paused for a moment, processing his words.Lucas stood up and said, "I made a little breakfast. What else do you want to eat?”He was being a bit too considerate.Aveline walked straight to the dining area and saw the table set with pancakes, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a side of fresh fruit.Lucas making pancakes early in the morning? She couldn’t quite picture it."No need," she replied. This was more than enough.Lucas sat down beside her, and they began eating together....After breakfast, as Aveline headed out, she suddenly noticed something new near the doorway, close to the corner of the wall. She glanced up and saw a camera.Noticing her gaze, Lucas explained, "That's the visible camera. There's also a hidden one. Give me your phone."Aveline looked at him suspiciously. "Why?""I'm going to download an app so you can view the surveillance footage on your phone," Lucas said.Hearing this, her skepticism faded, and she handed him the phone.After a few quick taps,

Seeing the displeasure on her face, Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "What’s wrong? Don’t want to go? Not in the mood to offer your congratulations?" Aveline took a deep breath and said, "Let’s go."They were already here—was turning back even an option? Besides, she had already promised Lucas she would come. If she walked away now, he might not show up to finalize the divorce once the cooling-off period ended. For the sake of the divorce papers, she had to endure it!Lucas’ smile widened as the doorman stepped forward to open the car door. He got out first.Russell, the new heir of the Skyler Group, marrying Rina, the heiress of the Johnson family—a wedding like this was nothing short of a spectacle. It was the event of the century.Media reporters with their cameras and equipment were stationed all around, waiting for the best shots. As soon as Lucas appeared, the crowd erupted in excitement! He was the rising star of Cloudflare City’s elite circles, known for his sharp

"I don’t want it," Aveline refused flatly.Lucas popped the candy into his own mouth and remarked, "It's not that good."Aveline just stared at him and said nothing.If it wasn't good, he could just not eat it!His little interruption distracted her, and she didn’t look back up at Russell on the stage.With the emcee guiding the ceremony, Rina appeared, dressed in a flowing wedding gown with a veil that obscured her face. When the moment came for the groom to kiss the bride, Russell lifted the veil and leaned in. Whether he actually kissed her or not was hard to tell.Regardless, the room erupted into thunderous applause, filled with congratulations and best wishes.As the ceremony ended, the toasts began.Aveline's phone vibrated repeatedly. She leaned over to Lucas and said, "I need to go to the restroom."Lucas looked at her with concern. "Want me to go with you?"Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Are you insane?"Lucas replied, "I'm worried you might get lost or get kidnapped."Aveline

Russell's fingers tightened around his wine glass, but his handsome, refined face maintained a flawless smile. "I'm glad you both could make it. Thank you for the well wishes," he said, preparing to move on to the next table."Wait, my wife hasn't spoken yet," Lucas interjected, stopping them in their tracks.Now, there was no way to leave. With everyone's eyes on them, making a scene would surely become the talk of Cloudflare City.Aveline exhaled a quiet sigh, lifted her glass, and looked at Russell and Rina. "Wishing you both a happy marriage and that all your dreams come true.""Thank you," Rina responded cheerfully, her voice sweet.In Rina's mind, as long as Aveline was with Lucas, she posed no threat. There was no need to target Aveline anymore. If Lucas liked Aveline, there was no harm in acting friendly around her.Lucas turned his gaze to Russell. "So, what do you think? Did my wife say it well?"Aveline felt her patience fraying. “Is this man insane?” she thought.She re

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
