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

No one knew men better than other men, and Aaron could see right through Gavin’s intentions in an instant. He shifted his gaze away, looking at Selena, who was happily munching on her chicken wing, blissfully unaware of Gavin’s feelings. But that was fine—Selena was already his, and he had no intention of giving anyone the chance to take her away.“Taste good?” Aaron asked.Selena nodded eagerly. “Delicious! Did you grill this?”Aaron raised an eyebrow. “I’ve been working the grill for ages, and you didn’t even notice? Seems like your attention wasn’t on me at all.”Selena laughed cheekily. “What can I say? Too many handsome guys around—I can’t keep track.”Seeing Aaron’s face darken, she quickly added with a grin, “I want some grilled fish, honey.”That one word, "honey," instantly lit up Aaron’s mood. With a smile, he turned to start grilling some fish for her.Aveline watched the entire exchange, a quiet smile tugging at her lips.After the meal, everyone started to relax and hav

Nearby, Gernard glanced at Gavin and quietly asked, "What's going on? Is Dad still not here?"Gavin, watching Aveline walk toward Lucas, responded in a calm tone, "Dad said he didn’t want to witness this. His daughter just came back, and now she’s already getting married again—it frustrates him."Gernard clicked his tongue, a faint smirk playing on his lips, but said nothing more.On the other side, Maria held up her phone, watching as more viewers flooded into her live stream. She smiled slyly and whispered, "Everyone, you're witnessing a live proposal! Don’t forget to send your blessings!"Beside her, Sidney looked on, his gaze complicated as he watched Aveline. Memories of everything that had happened since meeting her flashed through his mind. He was grateful to her—there had been a time when he even felt something deeper—but by then, it was already too late. When he finally realized how much he cared, Aveline had already fallen for Lucas, her heart completely devoted to him.A d

At the Cooper family residence, Wilfried stared at the live stream, watching the proposal unfold. He lifted his gaze to a framed photo of a smiling, graceful woman. "Suzy, did you see that? Our daughter... she's getting married. We just found her, and now she’s already getting married... I’m so sorry, I’ve let you down..." He choked up, his voice breaking into sobs.Not far away, the butler sighed heavily, rubbing his temples in exasperation. “He's acting like Miss Aveline is never coming back.”...As the day wound down, everyone started heading home.Selena clung to Aveline, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Ave, how could you agree so easily? Doesn’t that make it too easy for him?"Aveline looked at her, puzzled. "So, what should I have done?"Selena huffed. "If you ask me, you should’ve set up 81 impossible challenges for him. Only if he passed them all should you have said yes! And if he failed even once, forget about him!"Aveline couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head.

The proposal was over, and that same night, Maria and Sidney returned to Cloudflare City.Maria lived in a cozy and beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment in the Waterfront District. As they arrived at the door, she turned to look at Sidney, her pretty eyes holding a teasing emotion."It's so late. Do you want to come in and rest?"Sidney’s handsome face showed signs of fatigue, and he directly refused, "I'm tired. I want to go home and get some proper rest."Maria chuckled softly, reaching out and slowly sliding her finger down his chest. Under her touch, she could feel his muscles tensing slightly."Do you think I’m inviting you in for something else? You’re overthinking it. I just want you to rest here."As her words fell, she stepped closer to Sidney, slightly tilting her head up, her crimson lips curving into a seductive smile."Of course, if you're up for something more exciting, I wouldn’t mind either."Sidney immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her from moving further.

At night, Sidney sent out numerous résumés. His abilities were exceptional, and his designs were innovative. During his time at Maria's studio, he had only collaborated with Aveline on one project; after that, he worked independently.He was confident he could find a good company.However, three days passed, and there wasn't a single response.On the seventh day, he finally received a reply and was invited for an afternoon interview. But when he arrived, he was informed that the position had already been filled.Sidney stood at the bus stop, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his entire appearance clean and handsome. He stared at the cold message on his phone, his eyes reflected in the screen with a hint of chill.He had a pretty good idea of what was happening.Recalling Maria’s ambiguous smile, he took a deep breath.Forget it.He’d find something else and try again later.…In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.Maria had been waiting for Sidney to come back to her, but

"You think I'm being unreasonable?" Maria asked, her expression full of mock surprise. "Do you really think I would falsely accuse you?"The manager, seeing Sidney’s lack of an apology and his confrontational attitude, quickly intervened. "You better apologize to the customer right now, then take her to the hospital for a check-up. If anything happens to the guest, you'll be held responsible!"Sidney’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Maria, noticing the faint smile of amusement in her eyes.Of course.She wanted to see him crushed, to have control over him, and eventually forced to bow to her will. This was all just a game to her.If, in the beginning, Maria had approached Sidney to complete Lucas' task, now, she was simply driven by the desire to see him broken."Fine, then call the police. There are security cameras from the kitchen to the dining area. I didn’t do it, and I stand by that." Sidney’s tone grew calm and cold. He pulled out his phone and was about to dial the authoriti

Maria sat on the side, watching him with a faint smile.Sidney couldn’t reveal his true feelings just yet. He hesitated before saying, "I've already eaten."Ruth’s expression became more complicated upon hearing this. "But there's so much food. It’d be such a waste to throw it away."Maria chuckled and said, "Ma'am, it's my fault for not considering your health. It really would be a waste to throw the food away, so I'll just take it home with me."Ruth gave a helpless smile. "Sidney worries too much about me. I'm already this old; what’s wrong with eating something good? Frankly, how many more days do I even have left to enjoy it?"Sidney immediately frowned. "Mom, don’t say that.""Alright, alright, I know," Ruth quickly responded, noticing he was about to get upset.Sidney placed the light dishes on the small table and watched his mother eat.Maria watched him with interest, her gaze circling around Sidney as if she was amused by something."Ma'am, it’s getting late. I’ll head home

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
