Chapter 134 Lucas shot a cold glance at Selena. Selena felt a chill run through her and instinctively looked away. Lucas’s icy gaze then fell on Russell, but it was just a fleeting glance before he turned to Aveline and asked, “Bringing strange men into our home without my permission, isn’t that inappropriate?” Aveline laughed out of anger. “This is my house. Why should I need your permission to bring friends over?” With one hand in his pocket, Lucas maintained his cold, noble demeanor. “Have we divorced?” Aveline pressed her lips together. Lucas continued, “Since we haven’t divorced, you’re still my wife. Your house is marital property, which means what’s yours is also mine.” Suppressing her anger, Aveline replied coldly, “Do I really have to spell it out for you?” Lucas looked at her with a faint, mocking smile. “What? Do you want to argue in front of everyone? Are you sure you want to air our marital issues in public?” Aveline was speechless. Shameless! Did he still remember they were married? Selena, unable to hold back, finally said, “If you hadn’t been such a jerk, Ave might have already married someone else by now!” “Is that so?” Lucas’s tone turned even colder. Aveline sensed a dangerous vibe and wanted to say something, but Lucas suddenly grabbed her, pulling her close and kissing her. Aveline’s eyes widened in shock! Selena, utterly incredulous, pointed at Lucas. “You… you… you’re shameless!” Lucas kissed Aveline hard, then looked at Selena with a smirk. “How is kissing my wife shameless?” “You!” Selena was so furious she couldn’t speak! Aveline pushed him away forcefully, wiping her lips with the back of her hand. “What is wrong with you?” Lucas’s gaze darkened as he watched her, then he turned to Russell. ‘Since you’re here, Mr. Skyler, why not come in and have a seat?” Russell’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “If Mr. Tudor is inviting. I certainly will.” Aveline’s heart leaped. She hadn’t forgotten his warning in the bathtub last night to stay away from Russell, yet today he was inviting Russell into the house? Something was definitely wrong! Aveline quickly turned to Russell. “It’s not a good time today. Maybe you should go.” Russell smiled at her. “It’s fine. Aveline insisted, “It’s not fine.” Russell raised an eyebrow. Selena also sensed something was off. “Mr. Skyler, perhaps another +15 BONUS day. We should leave.” Aveline immediately gave Selena a grateful look. Friends to the rescue! Seeing Aveline’s earnest expression, Russell nodded. “Alright, call me if you need anything.” He then turned and left with Selena. Watching them enter the elevator, Aveline finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the next second, she felt a tug on her collar. Lucas grabbed her and pulled her into the apartment. Once inside, he shut the door and pressed her against it. His handsome, sharp face was now cold and dark. “Aveline, did you ignore my warning?” Aveline, still angry, shoved him hard. “Do you think your words are law? Why should I listen to you?” Lucas laughed angrily, his eyes filled with a dangerous light. “You asked for this.” He took a step towards her, then bent down and hoisted her over his shoulder, heading straight for the bedroom.

After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back
A year ago, Aveline Young found a man with amnesia on the side of the road and brought him home. This man was strikingly handsome, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a face that could easily earn a fortune in modeling. Aveline felt an embarrassing flutter in her heart and on a whim, they quickly got married. However, once the man recovered his memory, his first action was to divorce her, claiming he needed to go back and take over his family’s business. Aveline was stunned but accepted the divorce, thinking that money was more important and that she shouldn’t be tied to one man when there were plenty of younger options available. On the day they finalized their divorce, Aveline shocked everyone in Cloudflare City with a bold statement in the divorce papers: “He’s no good, so I got bored.” Post-divorce, Aveline was never short of attention from young, attractive men. At one social event, a friend inquired whether she would ever consider reconciling. Aveline scoffed. “The one who brings up getting back together is a dog!” Late one night, her phone rang. “Who’s this?” “Woof!”
Chapter 133 “Hey, Selena, do you know anyone who sells high–tech locks?” Selena was momentarily stunned by her question. “Didn’t you just change your lock? Why do you need to change it again?” Aveline replied, “It can’t keep people out, so I have to keep changing it.” Selena was silent for a moment before saying, “Why not just get a new place?” Aveline’s eyes lit up. “You’re right, let’s just get a new house.” Selena said, “I can introduce you to someone for that. Maple Garden is a great area. If you sell for a bit less, I’m sure someone will be willing to buy.” Aveline agreed. “Okay, let’s do that. I have to go to work now. We’ll talk more after I get off tonight.” “Alright.” At the office. Aveline spent the entire day working, coordinating with Brighton Enterprises, and inspecting the construction site. In short, she didn’t get a moment’s rest. When she returned to the office, most people had already left. She sat at her desk, took a sip of water, and then called Selena. “Hey, Ave, are you done with work?” Selena’s voice sounded excited. Aveline replied, “Yes, I just finished. I haven’t gone home yet.” 10 Selena said, “I’ll come pick you up. We’ll grab some dinner first, then I’ll take you to see some houses.” Aveline was surprised. “So soon?” Selena responded, “When you do something, do it decisively. Why drag it out?” Aveline smiled wryly. “You’re right. Come pick me up then.” “Alright.” They met up, had a steak dinner, and then headed home. On the way, Selena was already contacting potential buyers. After hanging up, she looked at Aveline and said, “If everything goes smoothly, we can finalize it today and sign the contract tomorrow. Then you can find a place that jerk won’t be able to locate, and he won’t bother you anymore.” Aveline said, “It’s all thanks to you.” Selena was very decisive. “I just don’t want to see you struggling in a pit of fire. That jerk, honestly, you are his wife. Can’t he at least show some decency? Why does he have to make things so ugly before letting go?” Aveline lowered her eyes slightly. She didn’t understand it either. Initially, he was the one who wanted to keep things civil, but now he was the one refusing to divorce. What was he thinking? After about twenty minutes, a car pulled up. “They’re here!” Selena saw the car and immediately opened the door and got out.” Mr. Skyler, over here!” Aveline got out of the car and was stunned when she saw who it was. Russell? +15 BONUS Selena, smiling, said, “Surprised? The mysterious buyer is Mr. Skyler!” Aveline said, “But, Mr. Skyler already has a house here.” Russell replied, “I don’t mind having more houses.” Aveline was at a loss for words. She suddenly didn’t know what to say. Selena said, “Let’s not stand around. Let’s go up and check out the place.” Russell nodded. “Alright.” Aveline had no choice but to follow. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Lucas standing at the door, entering a password. “What is he doing here?” Selena frowned. Aveline took a step forward. “What are you doing here?” Lucas turned around, his suit jacket draped over his arm. His handsome, sharp face was cold and noble, and his eyes glanced indifferently at them. His voice was low and magnetic. “I’m going home.” Aveline frowned. “This isn’t your home. Don’t come here anymore!” Selena snorted from the side. “How shameless.” NO SALE 3500 bonus free lou you COMMINIS
Chapter 132 Lucas sat down on a chair, his expression noble and indifferent. “Eat first.” Aveline walked over and snatched the utensils from his hand, slamming them onto the table. “Lucas, how did you get in here?” Lucas looked at her calmly, his mood inexplicably lifting at her angry expression. “Do you think changing the password lock will keep me out? As long as I want to, I can come in anytime.” His deep, magnetic voice made her feel as though he was talking about something else entirely. Remembering everything that happened last night, she became even angrier. “You want to eat? No way! None of this is for you!” She moved his bowl and utensils away and sat at the farthest spot from him, eating on her own. Lucas watched her and suddenly chuckled, “Aveline, aren’t you being childish?” Aveline said nothing. What could she do? She couldn’t manage him with either force or kindness. She had no way to handle Lucas! Lucas wasn’t angry; he just watched her with amusement. When she finished eating, he finally said, “I’ve found some information about the person who wanted to harm you.” Aveline paused in her eating and looked at him. “Who is it?” Lucas didn’t continue speaking immediately but gazed at her intently. Aveline pursed her lips and pushed the bowl and utensils back in front of him. Lucas took a sip of milk before saying, “His name is Darren Jones. The day he came looking for you, he had just been released from prison.” +15 BONUS Aveline was stunned, her brows furrowing. “I don’t know this person.” “I know,” Lucas said. “After that one time, he disappeared without a trace. He’s good at hiding. Without solid evidence, even if the police suspect him, they can’t do anything.” Aveline was silent for a moment before asking, “Is it related to the Tudor family?” She had always thought that Darren came after her because she was. Lucas‘ wife, making her an unintended target. Lucas said, “It’s still unclear.” Aveline’s expression grew more serious. “Then it’s very likely related to the Tudor family. I might have been implicated because of you. Lucas, just how many enemies do you have?” Lucas looked at her. “What? Are you scared?” Aveline laughed as if she had heard a joke. “He wants to kill me. Anyone would be scared, right?” The smile faded from Lucas‘ lips. “Being scared won’t help. If he’s targeted you, he won’t give up easily. You kept wanting to divorce. It would be better to stay by my side so I can protect you in secret.” Aveline replied, “You can still protect me after we divorce. After all, I was implicated because of you.” Lucas retorted, “If we’re divorced, why should I protect you? What would you be to me then?” “You!” Aveline was infuriated. She watched him eat and once again moved his bowl and utensils away. He ate finished without showing any shame. Lucas said nothing, got up, and left directly. Aveline lost her appetite. The feeling of having a knife at her throat. was truly unpleasant. “Darren Jones…” She thought hard about this person but had no. impression of him. He had just been released from prison. What had he been imprisoned for? Aveline looked up to ask Lucas, but he was already gone. She remained silent for a while, then stood up, tidied up a bit, and walked to the door. Staring at the password lock, she took out her phone and made a call.
Chapter 31 “What are you doing?” Aveline was startled and instinctively tried to avoid him. However, the bathtub was slippery, and after several attempts to struggle, she fell back into it. Lucas pressed one hand on her shoulder, leaning over her. His long, narrow eyes fixed on her, already tinged with a hint of crimson, as if suppressing some emotion. “Aveline, do you like Russell?” His deep voice questioned her heavily. Aveline was stunned, feeling speechless! How could he ask such a question? Didn’t he know whom she liked? However, without her consent, he entered her home, questioned her in that tone, and bullied her like this. There was no way she could say she liked him! “Who I like has nothing to do with you!” Aveline’s clear eyes stared straight at him, not fearing his cold. demeanor at all. “What? You can like Miss Winter, but I can’t like other men?” “No, you can’t!” Lucas roared. His hand pressed on her shoulder while gripping her chin, and his fierce kiss followed. Aveline was shocked and immediately began to struggle. Water splashed everywhere in the bathtub, but she had no strength in the slippery tub. He, being out of the water, could easily subdue her. From the beginning, she was at a disadvantage. His burning lips and tongue plundered her breath, his long fingers, slightly cool, touched her body, making her shiver violently. “Mm, let go…” Aveline pushed, hit, and hammered him. But it was all in vain. He seemed to have gone mad, directly entering the bathtub. The space in the tub instantly became cramped and suffocating, and Aveline was firmly controlled by him. With the water aiding, everything went much smoother. Aveline bit down on his shoulder, tears streaming down, “Lucas, you are a complete bastard!” Lucas’s hand gripped her waist. The harder she bit, the more fiercely he responded to her. Gradually, she lost all her strength and collapsed directly into his arms. In the bathroom, steam filled the air, and the sound of water waves echoed continuously, not stopping for a long time. Aveline was utterly exhausted, when she heard his hoarse voice in her ear, “Stay away from Russell!” She no longer had the energy to speak and simply closed her eyes. After a long while, everything finally ceased. Lucas wrapped her in a towel, carried her out of the bathroom, and placed her on the bed. Gazing at her sleeping face, he couldn’t help but lean down and gently kiss her forehead. +15 BONUS An indescribable emotion flashed through his heart, shattering all his previous beliefs. He only knew that seeing Aveline and Russell standing together, laughing and chatting, made him very upset! “Bastard…” Suddenly, Aveline turned over, muttered something in her sleep, and frowned. Lucas stared at her, his lips pressed into a straight line. The next day. Aveline woke up, feeling terrible all over! This house was no longer hers! She had to move out! Otherwise, how could he still get in after she changed the locks and set up a password? After washing up, she came out of the bedroom and saw Lucas coming out of the kitchen, holding two plates. “You’re up, come and eat.” He glanced at her and said in a low, magnetic voice. Aveline looked at him coldly. “How did you get in?” BIG SALE 3500 bonus free tou you … Read More “Divorced 131” »
Chapter 130 Aveline stepped out of the car, but having drunk so much, she felt unsteady. As soon as she lifted her head, a wave of dizziness hit her, causing her to stumble instinctively. Seeing this, Russell immediately reached out to steady her. “Are you okay?” Aveline regained her balance and realized how close she was to Russell. She quickly withdrew her hand and smiled. “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy.” Russell frowned. “In your condition, how will you get home? Let me take you.” “No need…” Aveline shook her head, about to say more when a familiar voice sounded from nearby. “This isn’t the best spot. Why don’t you head upstairs?” Aveline and Russell turned to see Lucas sitting in a car not far away, the window rolled down, revealing his cold, grim face. His eyes were fixed on them with a dark, intense gaze. Aveline pursed her lips, looked away, and said to Russell, “I’ll go now.” Russell seemed worried. “Aveline, maybe I should…” “No, it’s fine.” Aveline gave him a faint smile, then turned and walked towards the building. Russell watched her back for a long time before shifting his gaze.to Lucas in the car. A mocking smile curled on his lips. “Lucas, don’t you have someone you love? Why not divorce her? Aren’t you afraid of hurting her?” Lucas looked at him coldly, “Why? Tired of being a bastard and want a new role as the other man?” Russell’s smile chilled, his gaze turging, dangerous, Lacas, however, didn’t regard him at all, looking away indifferently and giving command to the driver. The car then moved forward. Russell’s eyes grew colder, but a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his lips, When disappointment accumulates, letting go becomes inevitable. Heh! In Aveline went upstairs and headed straight to her bedroom. She submerged herself in warm water, gradually dispelling the feelings of dizziness and discomfort. Closing her eyes, she thought about Lucas’s demeanor tonight. He was so cold and heartless, a stark contrast to the man he used to be. What was he thinking? If he was unhappy with Selena’s insults, he could have easily. avoided them by divorcing her. Why keep dragging it out? Could it be that he really intended to use her life as a shield for Sophia? Instinctively, Aveline didn’t want to believe this reason. She felt he wasn’t that kind of person. Her though water engulf completely en new increasingly chaotic. She sank deeper, letting the allowing the sensation of suffocation to pher. There were some disordered sounds in her ears. Aveline suddenly emerged from the water, wiped her face, and opened her eyes to see Lucas standing not far away. She was startled. “How did you get in here?” She stared at him in disbelief. She had changed the lock code, and only she and Selena knew the new code. How did he get in? Lucas simply looked at her coldly. He raised his hand and loosened his collar, then pulled off his tie and tossed it aside. Sensing danger, Aveline tried to get up and leave, but he was already in front of her. He pushed her back into the tub. COMMENTS
Chapter 129 Aveline looked up at Russell, giving him a slight smile. “I found Selena. We were just about to head back.” Russell replied, “Great, I’ll give you a ride.” Aveline shook her head. “No need, I’ve already called a car. Thanks anyway.” Selena said, “We can cancel the ride. It’s no trouble for Mr. Skyler to drop us off, so thank you, Mr. Skyler.” Russell’s handsome and mischievous face lit up with amusement. With Selena saying that, are you still going to refuse me?” Η Aveline gave Selena a helpless look. Selena, however, winked at her, her expression inscrutable. They got into the car. Aveline leaned against the window, staring blankly at the night outside. Russell, driving, glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, “What happened? Maybe I can help.” Selena looked at him, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, ” Do you know any reliable lawyers, especially those good at divorce cases?” “Selena!” Aveline immediately grabbed her hand, “Don’t say that. I’m not thinking about it right now.” Selena looked at her, hesitating to speak further. Russell chuckled softly and said, “I do, actually. If you need one, I Aree sid. “ank you.” Selena sighed helplessly beside her Even the station, couldn’t she accept some help? Did she truly want to deal with that sambag Lacas every day? Aveline closed her eyes, saying nothing more. Her mind was hazy, and she drifted off to sleep. When she woke up again, the car had stopped.

Call me by my name. I prefer friends to call me by my name.” Aveline bit her lip slightly, her long eyelashes trembling. She looked at him, her gaze clear. “Russell, thank you, but I have my own plans. Russell looked at her for a moment, then chuckled. “You’re pretty stubborn, aren’t you? Like a mule?” Aveline was startled, then couldn’t help but laugh. Russell said, “I live here too. Which building are you in?” Aveline pointed to one of the buildings and said, “It’s late. I’ll go back now. You should rest early too.” Russell leaned on the car door with one hand. “Alright.” His expression was as casual and mischievous as always, the smile on his handsome face was so captivating it was hard not to be drawn in.

Chapter 128 “Does it matter?” Lucas leaned back, his demeanor exuding a noble and aloof aura. His handsome and sharp features were masked by a calm and indifferent expression, making it impossible to discern his emotions. Selena gritted her teeth, but facing him like this, she couldn’t utter a single curse. What a shameless person! Aveline held Selena’s hand. “It’s okay, it’s okay…” It was as if she was comforting both Selena and herself. She looked at Lucas. “If you have a problem, come at me. Don’t make things difficult for Selena.” After saying that, she turned around and pulled Selena away. Lucas watched her back coldly, his eyes gradually filled with a complex and profound look. Even after they left, the room remained filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Aaron clicked his tongue twice. “I say, kid, aren’t you being difficult? Lucas looked at him. “You think you know everything.” Aaron sneered. “Heh… Do you think I didn’t notice? Since you walked in, your eyes haven’t left her. All you wanted was for her to say something nice, but what happened? She’s just as stubborn and would rather suffer herself than speak up. You two are both so stubborn.

If I see him, I’ll just avoid him. I can’t leave you alone. If I had known he was like this, I wouldn’t have gone abroad.” She had been abroad for three months, and when she returned, Aveline seemed like a completely different person, all because of that scumbag Lucas! Aveline chuckled. “Can you really hold back?” Selena nodded. “I can, I definitely can. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just curse him after he walks past.” Aveline was amused, but she didn’t bring up the topic again.

Chapter 127 +15 BONUS Aveline clenched her fists, her gaze sweeping over the assortment of drinks on the table. She walked over and stood opposite Lucas, taking a deep breath. before saying, “Lucas, you’re doing this to vent for Sophia, but Selena is here because of me. How about this: I’ll drink all of these, and you leave Selena alone. Is that fair?” Lucas‘ eyes stared at her coldly for a long moment without saying a word. Aveline smiled faintly, then grabbed a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and started drinking. The sharp taste burned her throat, making her cough violently, tears squeezing out of her eyes. She paused briefly, then continued drinking. Lucas didn’t stop her; he just watched, his gaze dark and complicated. “Ave!” Selena’s eyes widened as she struggled to move closer but was held back by Brian. “Let go of me! Let me go!” Selena’s voice was tinged with tears as she glared at Lucas, but she didn’t dare insult him further. Aveline was doing this for her sake; if she antagonized Lucas now, all of Aveline’s efforts would be in vain. Aaron watched the scene, the lazy smile fading from his face as he looked at Lucas. “Are you serious about this?” Lucas‘ lips tightened into a line as he watched Aveline finish one bottle and open another. Frustrated, he barked, “That’s enough!” Aveline abruptly put the bottle down, closing her eyes for a moment before asking with difficulty, “Do you agree?” Suddenly, Lucas stood up, reaching across the table to grip her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “Aveline, don’t you have anything else to say?” +15 BONUS The alcohol hit her quickly. Aveline’s face was already turning red as she stared at Lucas, a silent laugh escaping her lips. “I have nothing more to say to you.” It was as if all sound had vanished, leaving only the pounding of her heart. Tiny fractures seemed to appear within, accompanied by a sharp pain that tore at her senses. Lucas‘ eyes darkened ominously. He glared at Aveline, releasing her chin with a cold laugh. “If she dares to cause trouble, she should be prepared to face the consequences. Aveline clutched the bottle. “What do you mean?” Was he not going to spare Selena? Lucas turned to Aaron. “Are you in need of models? What do you. think of her?” Aaron blinked, instinctively glancing at Selena. “Not bad. Her physical attributes are excellent.” Lucas said, “Sign her up, but only for the lowest–tier modeling jobs.” “Lucas!” Aveline was on the verge of losing her temper. “Do you even know what you’re doing? This is between us! What does she have to do with it?” Lucas stared at her coldly. “What does she have to do with it? What gives her the right to criticize me?” Aveline felt as if she had plunged into an ice pit, the chill spreading through her bo ““.

Lucas gave him a cold glance. Brian immediately lowered his head, his expression even more impassive. Aaron watched the drama unfold with a gleeful smile. “Lucas, this lady seems very familiar to me. She has quite the chemistry with you. Could she be your wife?” Lucas replied coldly, “You’re quite perceptive.” Aaron chuckled. “Well, what can I say? My company is full of stars and actors, all discovered by these eyes of mine. I can tell if someone will be a hit the moment I see them. And you know what? I’m never wrong!” Lucas shot him a frosty glance before turning his attention back to Aveline. “Aveline, have I ever denied you food or clothing?
