Selena got up, hopping comically on one foot as she made her way toward the kitchen."What did you make? It smells amazing," she asked, leaning against the doorframe.Aaron, startled, turned to see her standing there with bright, eager eyes. His brow furrowed deeply.He set down the spatula and strode over, lifting her up effortlessly and placing her in a chair by the dining table."Stay put and stop getting in my way," he ordered, bracing one hand on the chair and leaning in close to her face. After a brief pause, he gave her a quick kiss on the lips before returning to the kitchen.Selena blinked, stunned.Wait... was he still mad or not?Soon enough, the food was ready. Baked salmon, barbecued ribs, pulled chicken, and a hearty seafood chowder—dishes that Selena loved.She eagerly grabbed her phone to take pictures and post them on social media. But when she glanced up, she caught Aaron glaring at her darkly.She immediately put the phone down, sitting up straight like a guilty st

The night was dark, and the ocean lay still. Selena glanced at the sleeping Aaron beside her before carefully slipping out of bed and heading to another room.Her ankle still hurt, and she moved cautiously. With one wrong step, she put too much pressure on it, causing her to wince in pain.Once she closed the door behind her, she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Aveline."Are you still awake, babe?" she typed.Aveline quickly replied, "I’m up. Isn’t it the middle of the night over there? Why aren’t you sleeping?""I’m exhausted, but I need to tell you something," Selena wrote back.Aveline immediately called her."Hello?" Selena answered quietly, glancing nervously at the door, afraid that Aaron might suddenly appear.Aveline, picking up on her cautious tone, spoke softly. "What’s going on?"Selena couldn’t help but laugh. "You don’t need to whisper. I’ve got that covered."Aveline laughed, too. "Oh, right. So, what happened? Spill it."Selena took a deep breath. "I told him

As Aaron watched Selena’s peaceful face, he leaned in and kissed her cheek. Unsatisfied, he moved to her lips, pressing soft, lingering kisses.Selena, barely asleep, was disturbed by him and groggily pushed him away. "I’m so tired… leave me alone," she mumbled.Without a word, Aaron flipped her over, so she was lying on her stomach. He kissed her earlobe and whispered, "You sleep, I’ll handle my business."Selena was speechless.As their honeymoon neared its end, Aaron suddenly received a call from his mother, asking him to pick someone up. They were already close and about to head back.After the call, Aaron explained the situation to Selena."Who are we picking up?" Selena asked curiously."My sister, Lila," Aaron replied.Selena was taken aback. "You have a sister?"She thought back, trying to recall anything about Aaron's family but didn’t remember hearing about this."My parents adopted her," Aaron explained. "She’s had health problems since she was little and has been living abr

Aaron noticed the shift in mood and suddenly reached out to take the box back.Lila blinked in surprise. "Brother, what are you doing?"Aaron handed the box back to Selena and said, "I’ve told you before, don’t waste your effort on things like this. Some people might not appreciate it. Wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on something you actually like?"Selena smiled and replied, "I like diamonds too."Aaron glanced at her. "But I don’t think this bracelet suits you. Tomorrow, we’ll go pick out something better.""Sounds good to me," Selena said, smiling playfully. Who would ever complain about spending more money?Lila’s face paled slightly, her hands clenching the fabric of her dress. She pouted, "Brother, are you mad at me?"Aaron turned to her and said calmly, "No, I’m just teaching your sister-in-law not to spend unnecessarily."Selena fell silent.She bit her tongue and tried not to laugh.Lila wasn’t reassured. She wasn’t a child anymore—she understood the meaning behind

"What’s going on?" Aaron’s voice was sharp as he hung up the phone, quickly striding over.Selena raised her arm, revealing a scrape near her elbow where the skin had been scratched, a faint trace of blood seeping from the mark where Lila had pinched her.Her face was cold as she spoke, "Aaron, it’s clear your sister doesn’t like me. First, she criticizes the gift I gave her, then belittles my background, and now she’s physically hurt me. Since I’m so unwelcome here, I’ll just leave."With that, she turned and started walking away.Aaron’s expression darkened instantly. He shot a glare at Lila. "What do you think you’re doing?"Lila’s eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head pitifully. "I didn’t hurt her, I swear! She misunderstood. Brother, I didn’t do anything."But Aaron wasn’t interested in hearing her excuses. Without another word, he quickly followed after Selena."Brother!" Lila called out desperately, trying to stop him, but he didn’t even glance back.One of the servan

Selena’s eyes flickered briefly, and after only a moment of hesitation, she answered the call."Hello, Mom," she said, her tone calm but with a hint of detachment.She wasn’t Aaron—she couldn’t simply hang up on his mother. If she did, her position within the Fletcher family would only become more difficult.Aaron, hearing the conversation, glanced over at her, his gaze darkening. He moved to take her phone, but Selena gently stopped him, shaking her head. She then put the call on speaker.Aaron’s mother, Nathalie Campbell, spoke with a cold tone, "Have you both arrived in Cloudflare City?"Selena replied, "Yes, we’ve just arrived.""Come home now," Nathalie ordered without waiting for a response, abruptly hanging up.Her attitude was harsh, commanding, and indifferent as if Selena’s presence was little more than an inconvenience.Aaron’s expression soured as he gripped her hand. "We don’t have to go back. What are they going to do about it?"He pulled her toward the car, unwilling to

As soon as Lila saw Selena, the joy on her face disappeared instantly. She leaned into Nathalie’s arms, her eyes reddening before tears began to fall.Seeing this, Nathalie immediately became concerned. "Lila, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, sweetheart. Your health can’t handle such emotional outbursts. Tell me, who upset you? I’ll handle it for you."Sniffling, Lila said, "I don’t think Selena likes me very much."At these words, Nathalie’s expression darkened. She shot a cold glance at Selena. "Did you mistreat Lila?"Lila quickly grabbed her mother’s arm. "Mom, don’t blame her. It’s my fault. Selena gave me a gift, and I didn’t show enough excitement or gratitude right away. Maybe she thought I didn’t like it and got upset. She didn’t smile at me after that. “Then, during dinner, I asked her about her family, just out of curiosity, but she seemed offended, and Brother scolded me. “Later, I took her to show her the room, but while we were going upstairs, she suddenly grabbed my hand and

Aaron’s gaze shifted to Lila, cold and piercing, carrying an unmistakable sense of authority. The air grew tense under the weight of his stare."Lila, explain yourself. Is that really how things happened? When she gave you a gift, how did you react? During dinner, when you asked her those questions, did she even respond? “It was me who scolded you—why are you blaming her? And when you were going up the stairs, why did she grab your hand? Wasn’t it because you scratched her? Do I need to show everyone the marks on her arm for proof?"His voice was chilling, leaving no room for argument, his protective stance over Selena unwavering. The coldness in his eyes as he looked at Lila only deepened."Lila, what exactly are you trying to do? If you’re that bored, find something useful to occupy yourself with—get a job, anything. But stop causing trouble at home.""That’s enough, Aaron!" Nathalie snapped, glaring at him. "You know your sister’s health. She can’t work. How could you say someth

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
