Jolie frowned. "Mom, I told you, I’m not close to Mr. Cooper."Daisy replied, "Of course, you won’t be close to him if you don’t stay in touch with him. The more you connect, the closer you will be. Get in touch with Mr. Cooper soon and let us know once you’ve arranged everything. We’ll handle the time and place."After saying that, she didn’t bother to see Jolie’s reaction and went back to arranging flowers.Jolie felt a deep sense of helplessness. How could they think she was close enough to Gavin to casually invite him to dinner? They were so confident, weren’t they? Jolie got up and left. She had originally planned to meet some friends for a photoshoot today. As a freelance photography enthusiast, she enjoyed capturing moments outdoors, but now, she wasn’t in the mood. She wandered around on her own. At the entrance of a mall, she unexpectedly ran into Selena. Selena had come to pick up something she’d forgotten to buy while shopping with Aveline yesterday. Neither of

Jolie followed Selena into the Cooper family villa. Neither Gavin nor Gernard was home. Gavin was at the office, and Gernard had already left for South Afreeca. Wilfried had gone fishing with an old friend, leaving only Aveline, Lucas, their two kids, and the household staff in the villa. “Ave,” Selena called as they stepped into the living room. Aveline was holding Pax, keeping him entertained, but she looked up at the sound of Selena’s voice. Surprised, she asked, “Back so soon?” Her gaze shifted, catching sight of Jolie trailing behind. “Miss Quin, hello,” Jolie greeted with a polite smile. Aveline returned the smile warmly. “Please, have a seat. Make yourself at home.” Selena had already washed her hands and returned to pick up Joy, gently coaxing the child with a soft tone. Jolie sat on the edge of the sofa, visibly tense. Noticing her unease, Aveline walked over and asked with a gentle smile, “Would you like to hold the baby?” Jolie blinked in surprise. “Me? C

After the two little ones fell asleep, the nanny carried them back to their room. Aveline stood up and said, “I’ve been working on some sketches lately. You two chat. I just had a spark of inspiration and need to put it down before I lose it.” Selena immediately made a show of trying to stop her from leaving, but Aveline only smiled faintly, giving her a meaningful look as if to say, “Take care of Jolie.” Selena was left speechless.She suddenly regretted bringing Jolie here. What on earth had possessed her to do that? Was she out of her mind? Aveline had already gone upstairs, and now Selena couldn’t just get up and leave. Glancing at Jolie, she asked, “Want to watch TV?” Instead of answering, Jolie asked, “Why did you bring me here, Selena?” Selena fell silent. Her irritation spiked. Why did everything have to be spelled out? Why couldn’t people just let things be? With a grumble, she snapped, “You probably think I’ve lost my mind, don’t you?” Jolie chuckled sof

After Selena finished speaking, she got up and left the living room. Jolie watched her retreating figure, her lips pressing together lightly. Did Selena really dislike her that much? If so, what was the point of staying here? After a moment of thought, Jolie stood and left. A housekeeper noticed her leaving and quickly informed Selena. Selena remained silent for a moment after hearing the news, then walked to the window on the second floor, watching as Jolie left. Her silhouette, so slender and delicate, inexplicably carried a trace of loneliness. "Since you brought her back, why not at least let her stay for dinner?" Aveline appeared beside her, also gazing at Jolie’s fading figure. Selena sighed lightly. "Ave, I just can’t bring myself to talk to her calmly." "That’s understandable," Aveline replied softly. Selena leaned against her, exhaling slowly. "It’s like I can’t let go of the things that happened in the past, even though I know none of it was her fault."

Jolie stared at Gavin in surprise. Under the flickering lights, his features were sharp and defined, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her without wavering. She had to take it herself? She thought she must’ve misheard him. But before she could process his words further, the sounds of her friends cheering in the background reached her ears. The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she took a step forward. “Thank you, Mr. Cooper.” Her slender, delicate fingers reached for the cool metal of his belt buckle. She fumbled, unfamiliar with how to undo it. After all, this wasn’t something she had experience with. The situation was undeniably awkward. The proximity between them was far too close. Gavin’s intense gaze bore into her, radiating an inexplicable pressure that made her palms sweat. Why was this thing so hard to figure out? Just as her frustration peaked, his fingers suddenly covered hers. Guiding her hand, he directed her to the right spot on the buckle and pressed g

The night breeze carried a faint chill, prompting Jolie to rub her arms as she glanced at the app to check on her ride. She had indulged in a few drinks tonight. Otherwise, she would have driven herself home. Just then, a sleek black SUV pulled up in front of her. The tinted window rolled down, revealing a chiseled, serious face. “Mr. Cooper,” Jolie greeted with a polite smile when she saw him. Gavin rested one hand casually on the steering wheel, his deep gaze briefly sweeping over her. “Get in.” What? Was he offering to give her a ride? Jolie hesitated, instinctively shaking her head. “There’s no need, Mr. Cooper. I’ve already called a car.” Gavin’s voice was calm but firm. “You still haven’t returned my belt.” Oh. Right. Jolie quickly fished the belt out of her bag, the black leather contrasting starkly against her fair hands. The striking visual caught Gavin’s attention, and his gaze lingered on her fingers—slender and delicate, so pale they seemed almost fragil

Jolie jerked her hand back instinctively, but before she could fully retreat, her wrist was firmly caught in a hot, unyielding grip. Startled, she looked up and found Gavin awake, his dark, piercing gaze locked onto hers. She hadn’t even noticed when he’d opened his eyes, but now he was staring at her with an intensity that made her skin prickle. “Mr. Cooper, you’re awake?” Forcing a stiff smile, she tried to play it off casually, her tone light but betraying her unease. “What were you doing?” His voice was deep, steady, and laced with suspicion as his sharp eyes bore into her. “I saw you were asleep and thought I’d just let myself out to head home,” she explained quickly. “I didn’t mean to touch you. It was an accident. My apologies.” Her flustered tone melted into something more composed, her lips curling into a picture-perfect smile. The shift was almost seamless like a sly little fox slipping its mask back on. One moment she was frazzled; the next, she was polite and po

"Alright," Gavin agreed without hesitation. Jolie fell silent.She led the way out of the car, her expression less than pleased. This wasn’t how the night was supposed to go. She and Gavin were from two entirely different worlds, and there was no reason for their paths to cross like this. Where had things gone wrong? As they walked, an image flashed through her mind—Gavin’s gaze when he looked at Selena. At that moment, her eyes grew colder. Her apartment was on the 17th floor. At this late hour, the elevator was empty, leaving just the two of them. Jolie stood in front, the reflective elevator walls showing Gavin’s sharp, handsome features. He kept his gaze lowered, his face expressionless. Ding!The elevator doors opened, and Jolie stepped out first, entering her apartment by scanning her fingerprint. She opened the door and retrieved a pair of men’s slippers from the shoe cabinet, placing them in front of him. "Please, Mr. Cooper." Gavin’s gaze flickered briefly

Jolie let out a startled gasp, her wide eyes meeting Gavin’s as her body stiffened. Perched awkwardly on his lap, she didn’t dare move. “But you took a shower, got so close to me, and then asked if I wanted to stay. If that’s not an invitation, then what is it?” His voice was low and deliberate as his strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, holding her firmly in place. His dark eyes locked onto hers, catching the panic flashing through them. Jolie’s breath hitched, her lips trembling slightly, as though even her soft, petal-like lips were reacting to his words. Her hands instinctively grabbed his arm, feeling the solid, defined muscles beneath her fingers—a testament to years of disciplined fitness. “Mr. Cooper, I…” she began, but before she could finish, his hand tipped her chin up, and his lips captured hers. Her eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively tried to pull away, but his grip was unrelenting. The kiss was searing, his breath hot and consuming as he domi

"You…" Jolie was stunned, completely taken aback that her unintentional actions had been twisted into something so outrageous by him. “No, that’s not true! I wasn’t…” She shook her head furiously, desperately denying the accusations. Gavin’s eyes bore into hers, his gaze intense and unreadable. His large hand still rested on her bare waist, the occasional movement of his fingers causing her body to tense. The unfamiliar sensation sent a strange shiver through her—an unfamiliar and unnerving response. She tried her best to suppress the fluttering feeling, remaining perfectly still, afraid to make any sudden moves. His voice, calm and detached, broke the silence. “If that’s the case, why did you say those things? Weren’t you testing whether I see you as Selena’s substitute?” Jolie froze. Her thoughts, her intentions—everything had been laid bare. The stark embarrassment of having her ploy exposed washed over her like a tidal wave. She wasn’t a match for him. That much was
