After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1041

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip.

His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.

He was cold, almost like an ice block.

When the bathroom door clicked shut, Gavin snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention away.

Inside the bathroom, Jolie stared at herself in the mirror, momentarily stunned by what she saw.

“Is this even possible?”
