After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline held Joy in one arm and looked at Selena, asking, "What are you doing?"

Selena replied, "Do you know what I just saw?"

Aveline shook her head. "No idea."

"Hickeys!"

Selena pointed exaggeratedly to a spot on her neck, saying, "Right here. And I don't think it's just one spot. There's probably a lot more below. Tsk tsk!"

She clicked her tongue twice, shaking her head as she added, "Who would've thought Mr. Cooper could be so... ravenous."

Aveline was amused and said, "Well, it makes sense. After all, he's already thirty, never had a girlfriend, and now that he finally does, of course, he'd go all out to spoil her."

"Go all out to spoil her..." Selena drew out the words, mimicking her tone as she leaned in closer. "Ave, you've really been corrupted by Lucas, that scoundrel. You never used to talk like this." Aveline responded matter-of-factly, "I'm the mother of two now. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Selena made a playful, teasing expression.

Aveline grabbed a peach and stuffed it into Selena's mouth. "Stop talking about me. What about you? Are you planning to go back to Cloudflare City with Aaron?"

Aaron had come to celebrate Selena's birthday, but he'd have to return soon to oversee operations in Cloudflare City. The Fletcher Group relied heavily on him, leaving him no time to travel back and forth. Selena took a bite of the peach and replied, "I'm still thinking about it."novelbin

Aveline asked, "What's holding you back?"

Selena didn't respond.

Aveline studied her for a moment and said, "You're worried about Jolie, aren't you?"

"I am not!"

Selena denied it immediately.

Aveline reassured her, "It's fine. I can keep an eye on her for you. If anything comes up, I'll handle it."

Selena replied, "I'm not worried about her!"

Aveline put Joy down and said, "But with Gavin by her side, he'll protect her. She won't be mistreated."

Selena stared at her silently.

Ignoring me, huh? she thought.

Too lazy to argue, she resigned herself to finishing the peach.

Aveline glanced at her and then

Selena stayed quiet.

Aveline could tell there was still a knot in her heart, tightly wound and not easily undone. But there was no need to rush-there was plenty of time.

...

That afternoon, Jolie received a call from Gavin.

"Finished your meeting?" Jolie asked with a smile, looking at the man's cold yet strikingly handsome face.

On the screen, the girl's radiant

smile bloomed like a flower, her bright eyes sparkling as she looked at him. A faint ripple stirred in Gavin's heart, and he softly replied, "Hmm."

"Have you eaten?"

Jolie nodded. "I did. The chicken soup and pancakes were delicious. I finished everything. Gavin, your cooking is incredible! I don't think I can eat restaurant food anymore."

"I'll cook for you from now on," Gavin said.

Her eyes lit up even more. "Really?"

"Yes."

Gavin stepped out of the elevator, and the line of secretaries stood to greet him. Without stopping, he walked straight into his office.

Rosalie, watching the man's cold, refined profile, felt her heart race uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at him, noticing he was holding his phone and in the middle of a video call.

From the phone came a sweet, gentle girl's voice.

For some reason, Rosalie found that voice incredibly familiar!
