Well, that was the past.She came back, and that's all that matters. At the very least, they were in the same place now. They could sort things out after Lucas woke up....Aveline refused to leave, choosing to stay at the hospital to wait for Lucas to wake up. Selena had no choice but to stay with her, worried for Aveline, especially since she was still pregnant.The next day, Gernard arrived to find Aveline carefully and gently wiping Lucas down, her expression soft and patient."Sis, give our family a call. It’s New Year after all," Gernard said."Okay." Aveline nodded but continued tending to Lucas until she was done. Only then did she grab her phone, sit on the couch, and open the family group chat for a video call.It connected quickly, and Wilfried appeared on screen, wearing his glasses."Happy New Year, Dad!" Aveline greeted with a smile.Wilfried grinned back. "Happy New Year, sweetheart. How’s Lucas doing?""He’s out of the critical phase. Once he wakes up, he should be f

Lucas glanced at her and said, "Since when have I not been shameless?"Selena paused, momentarily speechless. Well, he wasn’t wrong, was he?Aaron chuckled softly. "Alright, let him be for now. You can say whatever you want once he's fully recovered."Selena rolled her eyes. "I didn’t even say anything bad!"The night deepened, fireworks bursting in the distance. Aveline gazed at Lucas’ handsome face before suddenly speaking up. "Lucas, I have a New Year's gift for you.""What?" Lucas looked at her in confusion.Aveline smiled softly, placing her hand on her abdomen. "I’m pregnant."For a moment, shock washed over Lucas' face. His dark eyes filled with disbelief as he glanced between her face and her stomach."Really?" His voice was barely a whisper as if he thought he might be dreaming.Aveline walked closer, taking his hand and placing it gently on her belly. "Can you feel it?"Lucas didn’t dare press too hard, his hand hovering lightly over her stomach. Of course, he couldn’t feel

His expression was serious, but the words that came out were surprisingly meek.Aveline blinked, staring at his face, suddenly realizing something seemed off... but what?Slowly, she withdrew her hand and cautiously asked, "What exactly are you talking about?"Lucas froze for a moment, then it hit him too."What do you think I'm talking about?" His gaze lingered on her face, finally settling on her reddening ears. As the blush spread, the corners of his lips curved into a teasing smile. "So, you wanted it too?”"Shut up!" Aveline immediately slapped her hand over his mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say I wanted anything?"Lucas didn't move away. Her soft hand covered his lips, his warm breath lightly brushing against her fingers—gentle yet undeniably stirring.Aveline recoiled as if shocked, quickly pulling her hand back and diving under the covers, turning her back to him. "Go to sleep, I’m tired.""Mm, let’s sleep," Lucas replied, though his eyes darkene

“Happy New Year! How have you been lately?” Russell's voice carried a hint of laughter.Aveline replied, “Pretty good. I found my biological parents and have returned to Labor City.”“I saw the news, but I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you yet.” Russell's tone surprisingly carried a note of loneliness.Aveline lowered her gaze, unsure of what to say. Their relationship was just a thin layer of unspoken feelings away from changing everything. Once that layer was pierced, nothing would be the same.They both paused, the silence stretching between them.“I’m going abroad.”After a long moment, Russell's voice finally broke the silence.Aveline was taken aback. “Why the sudden decision to go abroad?”“I'm sorry.” But instead of answering her question, Russell offered an apology.The unexpected apology left Aveline stunned. She opened her mouth but couldn't find the words.“I’m sorry for not being able to help you before. I also regret causing you some trouble later,” he continued

Listening to her words, Lucas furrowed his brows. “But this way, you’ll feel wronged.” After all, they were getting married for the second time. He had wanted to give her a grand and romantic wedding, where everyone would witness their happiness and love.Aveline, however, responded, “As long as I’m happy and I like it, that’s all that matters.”Lucas pulled her into his arms, inhaling the faint scent that lingered on her. He tightened his embrace but was careful not to press against her belly, cautiously adjusting his strength.“Alright, whatever you want.”Aveline smiled softly and hugged him back.What she didn’t expect was that while the wedding would be understated and elegant, the proposal turned out to be grand and extravagant.It was a sunny morning.Selena came by the Tudor family home, inviting her for a walk. The weather was warming up, making it the perfect time to go out and enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the drive, Selena was unusually excited.Aveline looked at her, p

Lucas glanced at Maria with an amused smirk. "You’re really pushing it. Trying to scam a pregnant woman? How impressive."Unfazed, Maria kept her hand out. "Doesn’t matter. I got bumped, so you owe me compensation."Lucas raised an eyebrow, his voice calm and teasing. "How about I compensate you with no vacation for the next two years? Sound good?"Maria's smile instantly faded as she turned to Aveline. "Aveline, look at him..."Aveline, clearly enjoying the exchange, chuckled. "And this is why he's your boss and not the other way around."Maria sighed dramatically. "Unbelievable. You two are ganging up on me now!"She turned to Sidney, her eyes filled with mock sorrow, clearly fishing for some comfort. But Sidney pretended not to notice, walking straight to Aveline and handing her a small box. "Congratulations. These are some little gifts I picked out for the baby. I hope both you and the baby will like them."Aveline smiled warmly as she took the box. "Thank you, we’ll love it."“Wha

“Ave, look over there!” Selena’s voice called out suddenly.Aveline turned her head and spotted Zachary walking toward them, his pace steady and calm. Surprised, she stood up and made her way over.“Zachary, you’re here too.”He smiled warmly. “Yeah, Lucas sent me an invite. Said it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, and that you’ve been through a lot lately. Figured you might miss me, so here I am.”Aveline glanced over at Lucas, who was chatting with Aaron, and felt a wave of warmth. She turned back to Zachary with a smile. “I did miss you. It’s been too long. How’ve you been?”Zachary nodded. “Pretty good. The redevelopment project in Arthur Town is moving along smoothly. The orphanage is part of the plan, and we’ve already got two volunteer teachers there. The kids are doing much better now.”Aveline pictured the scene and felt a sense of contentment. She nodded. “That’s wonderful to hear. Come, let’s sit over there.”“Sure,” Zachary agreed.Everyone gathered near the riv

Lucas had already made his way back to Aveline's side, taking her hand with a playful smile. "Ave, do you feel like you need my company? Do you want me by your side all the time?"Aveline, who had witnessed the whole exchange, simply stared at him, speechless. Could this man be any more shameless?Aaron approached with a look of disdain. "Lucas, have you no shame? You'll say anything to avoid grilling. Aren’t you afraid your son will grow up and laugh at you?"Without missing a beat, Lucas replied, "My daughter wouldn’t laugh at me."Aaron was momentarily stunned. Daughter?He hadn’t even confirmed the baby’s gender, and yet Lucas was already claiming it was a girl."Your daughter, huh? You sure about that?" Aaron scoffed. "Do you even deserve one?"Lucas remained unfazed. "Of course I do. I make all this money just for my daughter to spend, so it has to be a girl."At that moment, Aveline chimed in, her voice soft but teasing, "Well, I think your daughter would love to taste the bar

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

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
