After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 97
As Aveline exited the company, she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized Lucas hadn't followed her. She had been genuinely concerned about what that troublesome man might do next.She walked towards the subway station. It was convenient to take the subway from the company to Maple Garden since it was the last stop. However, as she turned a corner, she noticed someone familiar following her.She paused and glanced back, recognizing the man who had saved her last night and strangely apologized to her this morning.How did he know where she worked? Why was he following her? What did he want?Aveline became vigilant and quickened her pace towards the subway station. After she swiped her card and entered, she looked back and saw the man following her inside.Her breath hitched as she pulled out her phone, ready to call the police at any moment. If he made any move against her, she would definitely report him! For now, she couldn't be sure if he was just going the same way by coinci

The policewoman left the room.Lucas walked over and stood in front of her, saying, "Brian works for me."Aveline's eyes widened slightly. "You sent him to follow me? Are you insane?"Lucas was speechless.A vein in his temple throbbed. He said in a deep voice, "He made a mistake that caused me to misunderstand you, so he came to apologize."What he didn't expect was that Brian would apologize directly to Aveline without explaining who he was. It was a miracle that Aveline hadn't called the police to have him sent to a mental hospital.Aveline asked, puzzled, "What did he do wrong?"Lucas briefly explained the events of that night. Aveline nodded in understanding. "Oh."Lucas looked at her. "How do you want to handle this?"Aveline suddenly chuckled.Lucas frowned. "What's so funny?"Aveline replied, "He knew to apologize for his mistake. What about you?"Lucas paused, his Adam's apple bobbing as his eyes grew darker and more unreadable. The narrow room felt suddenly suffocating, with

"Hello?"Lucas had just returned to the Tudor residence when he received Aveline's call. He answered almost immediately.Aveline tried to keep her voice steady, but a hint of tremor slipped through. "Lucas, where is the bodyguard you arranged for me? The one who's supposed to protect me closely?"Lucas noticed the urgency in her tone and asked, "What happened?"Aveline insisted, "I need a bodyguard close to me at all times."Lucas replied, "If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you."Aveline retorted, "I don't care. I just want a bodyguard who will immediately appear whenever I need him.”Lucas's eyes darkened when he sensed Aveline was in danger. "Alright, I'll arrange it.""Do it quickly," Aveline said before hanging up.Somehow, hearing his voice eased the fear and anxiety in her heart.She clutched her phone and gave a bitter laugh. Was she becoming dependent on him? What would she do after the divorce without him? How would she survive?Or perhaps... she might not even

Lucas glanced at her and started eating even faster.Aveline widened her eyes in disbelief. At that moment, she completely forgot about the gruesome photo, focusing solely on not letting Lucas finish all the food.This food was hers! All hers!In the end, only one chicken wing remained on the plate.Quick as a flash, Aveline grabbed it, grinning at Lucas as she put it in her mouth.Lucas set down his fork and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, his eyes softening slightly.Aveline savored the last chicken wing, feeling completely satisfied.Standing up, she waved her hand. "Lu, you clean up!"She stepped forward, then suddenly stopped, staring ahead at the empty space, blinking rapidly to hold back a surge of sadness.Had she forgotten he was no longer her Lu?"You came uninvited and ate my food, so you should clean up," she said without looking back, then went into the bedroom.Lucas watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkening.That one word, "Lu," had momentarily taken him

He... he actually came out without wearing anything!What a pervert!Aveline quickly turned her head, hurried to the dressing room, and grabbed one of her bath towels, throwing it directly at him."Put this on quickly. I don't want to go blind!"Lucas was speechless.The towel was pink, not very big, just enough to wrap around his waist. After wrapping the lower half of his body with the towel, Aveline took one look and couldn't help but burst into laughter!She found it hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of a tall man with long arms and legs wrapped in a pink, tight-fitting towel.Seeing her smile, Lucas' eyes softened slightly.He went straight to the bed, lifted the covers, and lay down.Aveline was stunned. "What are you doing?"Lucas replied, "Sleeping."Aveline retorted, "You can't sleep here, this is my room!"Lucas said, "Didn’t you want someone to protect you closely?"This was considered close enough, right?The smile on Aveline's face gradually faded, her tone

Aveline was startled and hurriedly tried to pull away.But Lucas tightened his grip on her ankle and swiftly pulled her onto him.Her body instantly stiffened."Are you awake?" Lucas opened his eyes, still slightly groggy, but his gaze was dark and intense, fixed on her."With you squirming against me, of course I woke up."Aveline's face immediately turned red!She wasn’t squirming against him! She was just trying to move her leg away!Lucas wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing her tightly against him, his voice husky as he asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"Aveline didn't dare move a muscle, afraid that any movement might provoke this man’s wild instincts."No," she mumbled, her long eyelashes trembling. "Let go of me, I need to get up."Lucas shifted slightly, seemingly unintentionally, but Aveline's body grew even more rigid."Lucas, stop doing something so crazy in the morning!" she said through gritted teeth.Lucas gazed at her intently. "If I don’t act crazy in

Aveline's breathing was still a bit fast, her eyes alluringly tinged with red at the corners, but her gaze remained cold and emotionless.Lucas didn't want to see her so composed.Yet, it seemed he could do nothing about it.The bed was still in disarray, and the atmosphere between them was tense and oppressive, with an unspoken and indescribable feeling hanging in the air.After a long while, Lucas got up and went straight to the bathroom.Aveline closed her eyes, her breathing now calm.By the time she finished tidying up, it was too late to make breakfast. She left without looking back, intending to buy a sandwich at the breakfast shop.Lucas came downstairs, and the car was already waiting, but Aveline had walked to the entrance of the complex.Brian, who was driving, had a serious expression. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Young just walked past."Lucas replied, "So what?"Brian asked, "Should we give her a ride?"Lucas, sitting in the back seat, closed his eyes. "What do you think?"Brian kept

"How did you get in here?" Aveline's face darkened. She was still wearing a pair of gloves as she glared at them coldly.Lucas waved his hand dismissively. "You can leave now.""Yes, Mr. Tudor. If you need anything else, just let us know." The property manager quickly turned and left.The door closed again.Lucas said calmly, "I had them let me in."Aveline responded, "Did I invite you in?""Since you wouldn't let me in, I had them open the door," Lucas said, his face calm as if this was perfectly reasonable to him.Aveline clenched her hands. "Lucas, can you be any more shameless?"Lucas looked at her serenely. "How is it shameless to come into my own home?""This isn't your home!" Aveline glared at him.Lucas replied, "But we are still married. Even though the house is in your name, it's still considered marital property for now."Aveline was speechless, her lips pressed tightly together.She stared at him for a while, then suddenly sneered. "Lucas, you're despicable."With that, sh

The corners of Gavin’s lips curved into a faint smile.The subordinate giving the report froze, his eyes widening in shock.What on earth?!Did he just witness that?Their notoriously serious and unsmiling boss—especially during work—had just smiled. In the middle of a meeting at his phone.Several others in the room noticed it too. Their gazes darted between each other in silent but frantic communication.What’s going on?Did Mr. Cooper just smile? At his phone? During a meeting?“Is he… dating someone?” everyone thought.“Ahem!”Gavin’s assistant cleared his throat, immediately breaking the silent chaos. First, it was a warning to the staff to rein in their imaginations, and second, it was a subtle reminder to Gavin, who was typing a reply.Even the assistant couldn’t help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.Who would have thought?The president of Cooper Enterprises, a man known for his iron will and unshakable focus, was texting his girlfriend during a meeting… and smilin

Rosalie said, “That must be tough for you. But why did Uncle and Aunt suddenly decide to send you abroad?” Jolie’s eyes flickered. So, her parents hadn’t told their relatives the real reason? How typical.Of course, they’d be too embarrassed to admit it. Shipping their daughter abroad just to force her to break up with her boyfriend? What a humiliating thing to confess. Jolie replied calmly, “I wanted to study abroad to gain some experience. It’s for my future photography exhibition. I still have a lot to learn.” “Oh, I see,” Rosalie responded, feigning understanding. Then she added, “Where are you staying? If I get the chance, I’ll come visit you.” “There’s no need, but thanks for thinking of me,” Jolie said lightly. “I’ll only be gone for a year. I’ll be back before you know it.” Rosalie smiled on the other end. “Alright then. If you need anything, just let me know.” “Sure.” After a few more polite exchanges, the call ended. Rosalie stared at her phone, gripping it

"Beep! Unlocked!" The electronic voice of the fingerprint lock sounded unusually clear in the quiet night. As soon as Jolie stepped through the door, Gavin wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace. His hot breath cascaded down onto her ear and neck, making her breath hitch instantly. She didn’t even have time to take off her shoes before she was swept up into his arms. His kisses were relentless, stealing her breath and unraveling her control as her emotions rose and fell with his every move. Before she knew it, she was seated on the entryway cabinet. Her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her legs were forced to cling to his lean waist. His fingers trailed over her skin, leaving traces of his presence wherever they went. “Mm…” A soft whimper escaped her lips as his kisses marked her skin. Each mark, blooming like crimson flowers against her fair skin, painted a vivid contrast on her porcelain complexion. The room remained pitch dark, but

The lighting inside the cinema was dim, making it hard for Gavin to see Jolie’s face clearly. However, he could sense her stiffness. He glanced at her deeply before his gaze shifted back to the screen.The movie ended, and their hands remained intertwined the entire time. The warmth on Jolie’s cheeks had subsided as they stepped outside. Glancing at the tall, handsome man beside her, her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.“Jolie?”At that moment, a voice called out from not far away. Jolie froze, not turning around. The voice carried a hint of uncertainty, and the person’s companion spoke in confusion, “Are you sure? Didn’t they send Jolie abroad?”The speaker was Jolie’s cousin, Rosalie Quin, from her uncle’s family.Frowning slightly, Rosalie replied, “But she really looks like her.”Her friend scoffed. “You must be seeing things. Wasn’t Jolie sent abroad? Didn’t you mention her family even cut off her cards? I still can’t believe she’d go to such lengths over a guy.”Rosalie lowe

Jolie fiddled with her phone, trying to find the perfect angle for a good photo. Less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the private dining room door. “Come in,” Gavin said calmly. A man in a tailored suit entered, holding a professional camera in his hand. Jolie looked at him in confusion. “Who’s this?” Gavin replied, “He’s an excellent photographer, a first-place winner in an international photography competition. Let him take your photos.” “What?” Jolie blinked in disbelief, glancing between the man and Gavin. So, because she complained about his lack of photography skills, he brought in someone with top-tier skills? And not just anyone—a world champion? Oh, dear! Jolie was suddenly at a loss for words. She opened her mouth but struggled to find the right thing to say. After a moment, she stammered, “Uh… actually, it’s not necessary.” “Not taking pictures anymore?” Gavin asked. Jolie shook her head. “No, I’m not. I’m hungry.” Having someone else tak

Jolie looked at Gavin in surprise. “I’ve heard rumors before that you’ve never been in a relationship. At first, I didn’t believe it.”Gavin glanced at her and replied, “It’s true. I haven’t.”Jolie nodded. “Hmm, I believe it now.”His eyes held nothing but focus on his work.With both hands gripping the steering wheel, Gavin drove steadily down the road. The sunset had already faded, and the city lights were beginning to glow. Having stayed indoors for several days, Jolie felt a bit unfamiliar stepping out. She kept her gaze outside the window throughout the ride, her eyes betraying a quiet excitement she herself hadn’t noticed. Gavin stole several glances at her, but she didn’t notice any of them. Finally, the car came to a stop. Jolie stepped out and saw a restaurant ahead. The building had a three-story traditional design, exuding a strong vintage charm. Even the entrance was adorned with intricately carved beams and painted columns. Jolie glanced at the restaurant’s name

Jolie froze for a moment as Gavin moved closer. His earlier words echoed in her mind, making her inexplicably nervous. But instead of doing anything unexpected, Gavin grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. “Go change. I’m taking you out to eat.”Jolie stumbled forward a couple of steps, startled. A look of surprise flashed across her face. A date?She nodded quickly. “Alright.” Back in her apartment, she leaned against the door, her heart fluttering with unexpected excitement. It was her first date! She needed to dress up for this. Jolie rushed to her bedroom, took a shower, and began picking out an outfit. She carefully applied her makeup, making sure everything was just right. By the time she was ready, two hours had flown by. She sent Gavin a quick message, then opened her door—only to find him already standing there, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit. He leaned casually against the wall, exuding an air of effortless elegance. Jolie blinked in surprise. “

“Awake?” Gavin walked over to her, his gaze falling on her slightly dazed face. Without warning, he reached out and pinched her cheek. The action was natural, even intimate, leaving her no time to react. Gavin wasn’t one to overthink—when he wanted to do something, he simply did it.Truth be told, he’d wanted to do this for a long time. Her cheeks were softer than he had imagined, and the sensation was oddly satisfying. Jolie nodded, then asked, “Didn’t you go to work?” “I’m back,” Gavin replied simply. Back already? She was a bit surprised but didn’t linger on it. Instead, she said, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Gavin naturally took her hand and led her to the sofa. Sitting down beside her, he said, “Go ahead.” Jolie hesitated for a moment, then said, “Technically, I’m still abroad.” The statement seemed abrupt and confusing, something that would make no sense to anyone unfamiliar with the context. But Gavin understood immediately. He nodded. “I know. S

As Jolie thought further, she realized her rebellion had been directed at none other than him. Gavin’s expression darkened instantly. Noticing his displeasure, Jolie quickly tried to defuse the situation. “Uh… weren’t you about to go work out? You should go. I barely slept last night, so I’ll head back and get some rest, okay?” She attempted to pull her hand free, eager to escape, but Gavin tightened his grip on her wrist, refusing to let her go. His dark eyes locked onto hers, his voice low and commanding. “You’ve already been up all night. Another few minutes won’t make a difference.” A sense of danger prickled at Jolie’s instincts. Her eyes instantly reflected her wariness as she stammered, “W-What are you going to do?” Instead of answering, Gavin wrapped an arm firmly around her waist, pulling her closer. His voice dropped even lower. “What do you think?” “I… I don’t know!” Jolie’s panic surged as she caught a glimpse of something in his expression she hadn’t seen befor
