After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

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 take photos while they were on a date just felt odd. Besides, if Gavin wasn't good at taking pictures, she could always teach him!

With a casual wave of his hand, Gavin dismissed the photographer, who left immediately.

Jolie couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "I can teach you if you want. Are you willing to learn?"

Gavin considered it for a moment. He knew her photography skills were quite good.

Nodding seriously, he replied, "I'll learn carefully."

His earnest expression made it seem as if he were preparing for some monumental task, and Jolie couldn't help but find it amusing.

Jolie's laughter lit up her face as she leaned closer, phone in hand, and sat right next to Gavin. She truly began teaching him how to take proper photos.novelbin

To her surprise, Gavin took her lesson seriously. Before long, he started practicing right away.

The two of them took photos while eating, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Time slipped away without them even noticing.

as Gavin might be dull. However, reality turned out to be the complete opposite.

No matter what she brought up, he engaged effortlessly-even trivial celebrity gossip. His occasional remarks often made her burst into laughter with their unexpected wit.

The date, so unlike what she had anticipated, left Jolie feeling completely at ease, both physically and mentally.

Later that evening, in the dimly lit movie theater, Jolie couldn't help but glance around. She noticed that their entire row was completely empty.

"You bought all the tickets for this row?" she whispered, leaning in toward him.

As her sweet scent drifted closer, Gavin kept his gaze on the screen and replied softly, "I don't like being touched by strangers."

He had already compromised by not booking out the entire theater.

Knowing she enjoyed the lively atmosphere of watching a movie with an audience, he had settled for buying just the seats in their row instead. Jolie's lips twitched slightly.

"Alright, this is... something else," she thought.

They had chosen a horror movie-foreign, full of jump scares and suspense. Throughout the film, Jolie's nerves were wound tighter than a spring. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed.

Startled, Jolie turned her head, nearly letting out a scream.

"What are you doing, grabbing my hand all of a sudden?" she whispered sharply.

"I'm a little scared," Gavin said calmly.

What?!

Jolie couldn't believe her ears. "What did you just say?"

Gavin leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her ear as he murmured, "I'm a little scared."

In that instant, a shiver ran through Jolie, like an electric current

coursing from her ear down one side of her body. Her ears tingled, going completely numb with the O

sensation.

She instinctively flinched, then clutched his hand tightly. "Th-then hold onto my hand."

"Just don't talk so close to me!" she thought.

There were so many people around-how embarrassing would it be if someone noticed?
