After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1072
Jolie clenched the hem of her dress, her gaze fixed on the man before her. In the dim lighting, his sharp, handsome features seemed even more intimidating. He had an air of absolute control, effortlessly seeing through her every thought. Even with no expression on his face, it felt like he was silently mocking her for overestimating herself. Taking a deep breath, she asked, “Will one time be enough?” Gavin’s eyes were calm and unreadable as he replied evenly, “If it hadn’t been for me that night, you would’ve been utterly humiliated in the Cooper estate. The Quin family’s reputation would’ve been ruined.” Jolie’s composure shattered. She frowned and glared at him, her tone laced with annoyance. “So, Mr. Cooper, are you just taking advantage of the situation?” Still calm, Gavin said, “You’re the one who offered to repay me.” That one sentence rendered her speechless. With a sigh of defeat, she slumped onto the sofa, refusing to look at him. “Fine. Just tell me—what will it

Jolie’s lashes trembled as she opened her eyes, her gaze locking with his. His dark, fathomless eyes were devoid of any emotion, like a still, bottomless lake. She froze, her movements coming to an abrupt halt. Pulling back slightly, she stared at him in confusion. “Didn’t you say you wanted a woman?” Why was he so unresponsive, even when she had taken the initiative? What was this supposed to mean? The more she tried to understand this man, the less she could. And the less she liked him. He was infuriating. Gavin stood there, one hand holding a glass of wine, the other tucked casually into his trouser pocket. His dark gray shirt was impeccably buttoned all the way to the top, the tie perfectly knotted, exuding an air of restraint and self-discipline. Even with a woman practically draped over him, he maintained an aura of cold detachment, an unapproachable distance that only emphasized his indifference. Jolie let go of him and stepped back, her lips now glistening slightly

”Scoundrel…” she thought.This man was utterly despicable. Jolie passed out, and before her consciousness faded completely, she bit him out of sheer frustration. But with no strength left, the effort was more symbolic than effective. …The next morning. The motorized curtains slid open automatically, and sunlight poured into the room, bright and unrelenting. Jolie stirred as the light hit her face, groaning softly before lifting an arm to shield her eyes. She slowly forced them open. This wasn’t the private suite from last night. The bedroom was large, its minimalist design starkly cold in shades of black, white, and gray. She immediately knew where she was. Only he would decorate a house in such lifeless, joyless tones. Turning over, she let out an involuntary whimper. Her back ached, her legs were sore, and every movement sent tremors through the muscles of her thighs. She bit her lip, her frustration mounting as tears pricked the corners of her eyes from the pain.

All the missed calls were from Daisy.A trace of mockery flickered in Jolie's eyes, quickly replaced by deep helplessness. Her resistance was so obvious, yet in the end, things didn't go as she wished. She still couldn’t shake off Gavin. And this was only the first time. There were still nine more to come. If promises weren’t fulfilled immediately, the timeline would stretch indefinitely. This meant their interactions would continue. And the Quin family's goal would be achieved. Resisting further would only make her look like a joke. She closed her eyes briefly, choosing not to call Daisy but to send a message instead. "Out with friends." Dais replied, "Then why didn’t you answer my call? I thought something happened to you." Looking at the message, Jolie found it laughable. She didn’t think Daisy truly believed something had happened to her; she simply assumed she was with Gavin.That was why, after a few calls, Daisy stopped trying. If Daisy truly thought s

Selena noticed something off about Jolie's expression and asked curiously, "You don't like this place?" "No." Jolie shook her head, suppressing the thoughts swirling in her mind, and followed Selena into the villa. "Madam, you're back." The villa's butler greeted Selena respectfully upon seeing her. "Yes," Selena acknowledged with a nod before saying, "Prepare a room." "Understood," the butler replied promptly and signaled to the staff to head upstairs. Selena glanced at Jolie. "This is where I usually stay. Feel free to explore." Jolie nodded and asked, "Is it alright to stay as long as I want?" "Stay as long as you like," Selena replied, her expression indifferent. Jolie smiled, taking a couple of steps forward. "Will my brother-in-law come here?" Selena gave her a peculiar look. "Why do you ask?" Jolie said, "I hope he doesn’t come." "Don’t worry. He won’t. He’s busy in Cloudflare City," Selena replied flatly. Though he did video call her daily, he would

Jolie froze in place, standing on the second floor with her hands gripping the stair railing, her fingers tightening slightly. The man downstairs seemed to sense her gaze and looked up. Startled, Jolie instinctively turned her head away. However, there was nowhere to hide on the second floor, making her attempt to avoid him somewhat comical. “What are you hiding from?” The man’s deep, magnetic voice rose from downstairs, his tone casual but carrying a faint sharpness that echoed in her ears. Jolie pressed her lips together, taking a deep breath before forcing a smile onto her face. She turned around and said, "Mr. Cooper, you must be joking. Why would I be hiding? I just remembered I left something in my room. I’ll go get it." Without waiting for a reply, she spun on her heel and headed back to her room. She had decided to stay locked inside until he left. Surely, he wouldn’t stick around forever. But what puzzled her even more was why he was here in the first place.

She stopped pretending, and her eyes clearly reflected her dislike for him. Gavin glanced at her expressionless face, withdrew his hand, and turned away. “I’ve always preferred your honesty.” Jolie watched his tall figure retreat, rolling her eyes so hard it practically hurt. “Who cares what you prefer!” she thought.…Downstairs. Selena walked in through the front door, spotting Gavin and Jolie descending the staircase one after the other. A hint of surprise crossed her face. “You two… what’s this about?” Gavin replied, “I went to call her down for dinner.” “Oh…” Selena deliberately drew out the word, her gaze turning slightly mischievous. Jolie’s grip on the railing tightened. She asked, “When did you get back, Selena?” “Just now,” Selena answered. Jolie nodded and headed straight toward the dining room. Selena glanced at Gavin and said, “Aaron didn’t come. I’ll relay what you told me, but I can’t guarantee he’ll go along with it.” Gavin replied indifferentl

"Alright," Selena said, not pressing further. Jolie turned and left without another word. As she walked outside, her mind churned, contemplating her next move. How could she escape her current predicament? Her fate seemed sealed. She had to go through with an arranged marriage she couldn’t avoid. The only variable was the kind of man she’d end up with. When she saw Gavin at the Quin family’s banquet, she knew their target was him. They’d stop at nothing to push her toward him, hoping she could win him over. But she despised him. She wanted nothing to do with him. If that was the case, her best option was to find someone she could tolerate—someone the Quin family would deem acceptable for an alliance. If she started dating such a person, it would put an end to their schemes. At least then, her life wouldn’t be entirely unbearable. By the time she stepped out of the neighborhood, her plan had solidified. Pulling out her phone, she sent a message to a friend. The frien

As expected.Jolie lowered her gaze slightly. Her pale face carried a fragile determination as she sat at the edge of the dining table. Her slender frame looked too weak to resist, yet the defiance in her eyes told another story.She couldn’t escape. But she wasn’t willing to give in. “I won’t break up with him,” she said, raising her eyes with a clear and unwavering resolve. Terence let out a cold laugh. “Well, you’ve got guts. You really are my daughter. Let’s see how long your resolve lasts!” With that, he abruptly stood and stormed out of the dining room. Daisy frowned at Jolie. “Jolie, why are you so stubborn? Ian Wheeler isn’t the right person for you. Why won’t you listen to us? Do you really think we’d harm you?” Jolie replied calmly, “Is what’s ‘right’ always the best?” “Of course,” Daisy said firmly. “If someone fits in every way, that’s what’s best.” “I don’t agree,” Jolie said softly, her gaze dropping as she rejected her mother’s words. “You’re being too

Daisy’s stance was unyielding, leaving Jolie no room to argue. She took her straight back to the Quin family home and even confiscated her phone.Meanwhile, just half an hour after they left, Selena arrived at the hospital. Noticing the empty room, she froze for a moment before grabbing a nearby nurse.“Excuse me, where is the patient from this room?” Selena asked.The nurse replied, “She’s been discharged.”“Discharged?” Selena was stunned. “So soon?”It wasn’t surprising that Jolie was ready to be discharged, but Selena couldn’t believe she’d leave without saying a word. She pressed on, “Did she leave on her own?”The nurse shook her head. “No, her mother came to take her.”Selena nodded slowly, her expression darkening. So that was it. Anger flickered in Selena’s chest. Jolie had been severely injured, and Daisy hadn’t bothered to visit her in an entire month. Yet, the moment it was time for her to leave, Daisy suddenly showed up. For the longest time, Selena had assumed Jolie w

Jolie instinctively glanced at Selena after hearing that, noticing the awkward expression on her face. After a brief pause, she suddenly called out, “Sister.”Selena shot up from her seat as if startled. “I think I’ll skip the oranges. I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll head out first,” she said quickly. Without waiting for Jolie to respond, she hurried out of the hospital room, looking like she was running from a pack of wild animals.Jackie blinked in surprise. “What was that about?”Jolie replied casually, “Maybe… she felt embarrassed.”Jackie chuckled warmly. “That’s normal, perfectly normal. When there’s tension and one side tries to make peace, the other usually feels awkward. Your relationship with Selena always seems a bit like this, doesn’t it?”Jolie lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, “She left home a long time ago.”Jackie raised her eyebrows. “Sounds like there’s been some serious conflict.”Jolie didn’t elaborate. The fact that Selena was willing to v

The next day, Daisy came to visit Jolie. Noticing Jackie in the room, she frowned and asked, “Who are you?”Jackie replied with a friendly tone, “I’m Miss Quin’s caregiver. And you are?”Daisy’s expression shifted briefly before she responded, “You can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”Jackie grew wary and glanced at Jolie for guidance. Jolie said calmly, “Jackie, I’d like some fruit.”Jackie immediately understood that Jolie was subtly asking her to step out. “Alright,” she nodded and left the room.As soon as the door closed, Daisy turned to Jolie. “Jolie, did you look into that caregiver? What’s her background? Is she reliable?”Jolie met her mother’s gaze, her tone flat. “Sure. I’ll investigate later.”Daisy hesitated for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something. “I’m sorry, Jolie. Yesterday I forgot about you. There was an issue at the company, and your father and I were tied up until late. Were you alright? You didn’t go hungry, did you?”Jolie found it la

Upon hearing this, Jolie looked at him. "Can I refuse you?""Of course you can," Gavin replied without hesitation.Jolie eyed him skeptically, finding it hard to believe he would give in so easily.Gavin figured that even if she refused, there were still six obligations left to fulfill. Once those were over, their ties would be completely severed. He was confident that by then, she wouldn’t occupy any more of his thoughts.In his life, emotions had never been a priority. Career and power were always paramount. He had set his goals clearly from a young age. So even though he now realized he liked Jolie, he wouldn’t do anything irrational for the sake of feelings. That wasn’t who he was.Jolie’s eyes gradually brightened. She had assumed he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, resorting to forceful tactics if she disagreed. His rationality made things much simpler!"Mr. Cooper, I’m sorry," Jolie said after deliberating for a moment. "We’re not very com

Gavin pulled out a document and handed it to her.Jolie glanced at it, her eyes widening in shock as she realized it was a detailed dossier on Ian. Staring at Gavin in disbelief, she asked, "What… what is this supposed to mean?"She didn’t even look at the contents again, her mind swirling with chaos. "To show you the kind of person you’re so adamantly defending," Gavin said coolly, his expression steady.Jolie’s grip on the bedsheet tightened as her thoughts spun out of control. She struggled to process what was happening. "Why are you doing this?" Their relationship was supposed to be simple—a transactional repayment of a favor. So why was he meddling in her life? Why investigate Ian? Why did he care so much about her relationship with Ian?A flood of questions filled her mind, and though the answer seemed obvious, she couldn’t bring herself to believe it.Gavin looked into her dark, clear eyes, finding something there he couldn’t quite decipher. It was rare for him to not unders

Jolie closed her eyes and said weakly, "I won’t break up.""You…" Daisy was taken aback by her stubbornness. Jolie had always been the most obedient child, the one who listened without question. Yet now, she was completely unyielding.Sighing heavily, Daisy sat down beside her. At this point, there was little she could do. Terence had already lashed out, but even that didn’t make Jolie relent. If she refused to break up, what more could they do?For now, Daisy decided to leave the matter alone. If talking to Jolie wouldn’t work, perhaps convincing Ian would be the way forward."Are you hungry?" Daisy asked after a pause."No," Jolie replied faintly. The only sensation she could focus on was the pain radiating from her back. She lay on her stomach, too afraid to move.Daisy let out a soft sigh. "If you get hungry, let me know. I’ll make you whatever you want.""Mm." Jolie barely responded, closing her eyes as exhaustion pulled her into a restless sleep.…Night fell, and Jolie stirred

Aveline said, "It’s absolutely true. I should’ve recorded it. Then you wouldn’t doubt me.""No, no, I’m not doubting you," Gernard replied quickly. "I just didn’t expect it. Brother actually said something like that? He’s always been distant from women. Growing up, there were girls who liked him, but he never paid them any attention. During school, he focused on studying, and after that, on work. Honestly, I thought he might never learn how to date. And now… he’s finally thawed!"He sounded amazed, but soon his brows furrowed. "This Jolie—she’s Selena’s younger sister, isn’t she?"Aveline nodded. "That’s right."Gernard’s frown deepened. "I think I’ve seen her before. She does resemble Selena a bit. Baby sister, you know Gavin had feelings for Selena before, but he came into the picture too late. She was already married. Do you think… is it possible he sees Jolie as a stand-in for Selena?"Aveline’s expression immediately grew tense. If that were true, it would indeed be unsettling.W

"I… I haven’t decided yet," Selena said hesitantly.Aveline replied, "Take your time. There’s no rush. You’re in Larbor City now, and so is she. When you’re ready, you can always go see her.""Mm." Selena gave a soft hum of acknowledgment and ended the call.When she looked up, she met Aaron’s gaze. He was staring at her intently.Selena’s breath caught slightly. "What’s wrong?"Aaron reached out and gently brushed her cheek with his fingertips. "If something’s troubling you, you can always tell me."Without a word, Selena leaned into his chest, seeking comfort in his silent presence. Aaron wrapped his arms around her, holding her close without pressing for answers.He had long since resolved to be with her and had quietly investigated her background. He knew her family life had been far from happy, though she had never spoken of it. He hadn’t brought it up either, respecting her silence.His earlier question had simply been a gentle nudge, hoping she might open up and feel better by s
