Semua Bab After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Aveline made a simple meal and sat at the dining table, instinctively checking her phone.What's going on?Lucas hadn't come up yet?Where did he go?Her mind started to wander. She gripped her phone, staring at it for a while, then remembered what he said earlier. She needed to keep him appeased to get the divorce finalized. Otherwise, she'd remain trapped in this dangerous situation.Taking a deep breath, Aveline dialed Lucas' number.After three rings, the call was answered."When are you coming back?" she asked directly."You're so shameless! Lucas loves Sophia, not you. Why do you keep clinging to him? Because of you, they can't be together, and Sophia has depression!" The angry female voice on the other end wasn't Lucas.Aveline's expression turned icy. "Did you eat crap before leaving the house?"Sharon Walsh's face twisted in anger. "How dare you insult me?"Aveline sneered. "Did I insult you? I was just reminding you to brush your teeth. Even through the phone, your breath sti

After leaving the hospital, Lucas called Aveline, but she quickly hung up on him.His brows furrowed.Their relationship had just begun to reach a delicate balance, but Sophia's sudden crisis had shattered it.Lucas had never felt so agitated before. He tugged at his tie, trying to release the frustration tightening his chest.But it was all in vain.Sitting in his car, he lit a cigarette. The smoke swirled in front of him as he half-closed his eyes, staring ahead.Just then, his phone rang. He quickly grabbed it, expecting it to be Aveline, but it was a message from Maria instead.“I've found Darren's location.”Lucas replied, “Send it over.”Maria texted, “No.”Lucas replied, “What?”Maria teased, “Haha, I'm just rebellious like that.”Lucas texted back, “Then you can spend the rest of your life being rebellious in the Southeast region. Don't come back.”Maria immediately apologized, “Boss, I'm sorry. I'll send it to you right away.”Soon, Lucas received Darren's current location.It

Aveline looked at Aaron with a faint smile. "Would you dare to say that to him when he's sober?"Aaron was speechless for a moment.He looked at Aveline for a while, then suddenly turned to the semi-conscious Lucas and said, "Buddy, you're going to have a tough time in the future."Aveline still showed no intention of letting them in. "You should go back to wherever you came from. You're not welcome here."With that, she lowered the baseball bat and slammed the door shut.Aaron stood there, taking a deep breath before turning around and supporting Lucas as they left." Ave..." Lucas mumbled drunkenly.Aaron sneered. "Your Ave doesn't want you anymore. Go ahead and keep acting out."Back in her bedroom, Aveline lay down and closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep.She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts a mess.Why did he go drinking again?Wasn't he supposed to see Sophia?Did he feel so heartbroken about her depression that he drank to drown his sorrows?Wow, how se

Aaron's eyes widened in shock. He quickly tried to explain, "No, wait, this isn’t... I didn’t mean..."The more he tried to clarify, the less sense he made. He had just said it was all because of Lucas, but now Aveline was calling him a good person. What did that make Lucas?Aaron felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Lucas in a panic. "Lucas, she’s just talking nonsense..."Lucas simply looked at him coolly.Aveline said, "Mr. Fletcher, please rest well. We won’t disturb you any further."With that, she pulled Selena out of the room."Hey, don’t go!" Aaron was so anxious he almost jumped out of bed.What on earth was going on?He looked at Lucas. "Lucas, I was trying to help you, I really was."Lucas said, "You truly are a good person."Aaron was speechless. He felt like dying.Outside the room, Selena couldn't stop laughing. "Ave, you’re brilliant! Did you see Lucas' face? It looked so upset. How satisfying!"Aveline remained calm. "I can see through their intentions. There's

Aveline coldly turned away and walked off. Selena quickly caught up to her, giving her a thumbs up. "My dear Ave, you finally stood up for yourself."Aveline replied, "I don't start trouble unless someone provokes me first."People like Sharon, who came looking for a confrontation, would naturally get what they deserved.Selena clicked her tongue in approval. "I just can't understand that jerk. If he loves Miss Winter so much, why doesn't he divorce you? Now Miss Winter has depression, and you're also suffering. What's his endgame?"Aveline sighed. "I wish I knew what he wanted."If she knew, she wouldn't feel so tormented."What’s the point of this endless entanglement?" Aveline continued.Selena linked arms with her and smiled. "Ave, stay over at my place tonight. After tomorrow, I won't have this kind of freedom anymore."Aveline nodded and agreed.Selena was thrilled. They went to her small apartment, a cozy place with one bedroom and a living room, just right for one person. She b
