After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1141

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.

Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.

Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."

Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.

It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.

When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.

The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."

It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends.

"Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.

Jolie put her phone away and glanced at him. He was focused on his screen, his expression calm and composed, with an air of restraint.

His sharp features and well-defined profile were strikingly handsome, but the cold aura he exuded often kept people at a distance.

Still, he wasn’t as bad as he seemed.

As she stared at him, she found herself lost in thought.

Gavin noticed her gaze but didn’t stop her. Instead, he waited to see how long she’d keep looking. To his surprise, she stared at him the entire ride.

As they neared their destination, Gavin finally set his phone aside and lifted his eyes to meet hers. His gaze locked with her eyes, full of clarity and curiosity.

"Do you like my face?"

"Huh?"

The sudden question snapped Jolie out of her daze. Realizing she’d been staring at him the whole time, a faint blush crept up her pale cheeks, and she looked slightly embarrassed.

"Well, your face is very good-looking.”

If only it weren’t attached to him, she might have actually found it appealing.

Gavin’s gaze deepened, and out of the blue, he asked, "Jolie, why did you suddenly agree to my confession?"
