Chapter 1130
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: Serenity House.
Gavin walked over, naturally taking her hand. "The food here is excellent."
"I've heard of this place," Jolie said. "But isn't the main branch in Cloudflare City? When did they open one here in Larbor City?"
"Not long ago," Gavin replied.
Jolie was curious. "How did you find out about it?"
Gavin explained, "It's run by my brother-in-law. My sister loves the food from Serenity House."
Ah, that made sense!
Jolie recalled hearing about how the Cooper family had recently reunited with their long-lost daughter, who had settled in Larbor City. Naturally, her husband had followed her here too. "Such a touching bond," she thought.
Gavin glanced at her again and remarked, "You've met my younger sister before. You two seemed to get along well."
Jolie nodded. "Yes, Miss Aveline has such a gentle personality. I really like her."
"Then you should spend more time together," Gavin said. "It'll help strengthen the connection."
Jolie blinked and thought, "Strengthen what connection?"
A connection between sisters-in-law? That felt a bit premature!
She and Gavin had only just started seeing each other! Becoming Aveline's sister-in-law was still a far-off possibility.
Gavin led Jolie upstairs, where a server guided them to the door of a private dining room.
As Jolie stepped inside, a look of awe flickered in her eyes.
The intricately crafted double-sided embroidered screen was both elegant and stunning. Walking around it revealed a spacious dining area, complete with a cozy lounge and a dining section.
The carved wooden windows with their open latticework faced the riverside view. The last rays of the setting sun danced on the wafer's surface, creating a breathtaking scene.

Jolie moved to the window, captivated by the clash of twilight and the fading sunset, her admiration deepening. Taking out her phone, she handed it to Gavin. "Take a picture of me."
It was so beautiful! She had to capture it!
Gavin hesitated for a moment, saying nothing as he silently opened the camera and began snapping photos.
Jolie struck a few poses, but when Gavin handed the phone back to her, she froze. "You're done?"
"Yeah," Gavin replied calmly.
Jolie immediately opened the gallery, only to be rendered speechless by what she saw.novelbin
What kind of terrible photography skills were these?

window, one of her eyes even half-closed. And he actually took the picture like that?
What had he been thinking?
Jolie stared at him, her face blank. "Gavin, I've discovered your weakness."
Hearing this, Gavin frowned slightly. "I don't have any weaknesses."
"Ha!" Jolie scoffed mercilessly. "You can't take pictures!"
Without hesitation, she deleted the photo. It was unbearable-an eyesore!
Noticing her clearly displeased expression, Gavin paused for a moment, then quietly took out his phone and sent a message.
