Jolie’s breath hitched as Gavin captured her completely off guard. His lips dominated hers with an intensity that left her no room to resist, his tongue teasing and tangling as though he intended to consume her entirely. "Mmph..." A muffled sound escaped her, and she instinctively tried to push him away. The kiss was overwhelming, leaving her breathless, and she felt as if she couldn’t take it. But the moment her hands brushed against his skin, she recoiled as though burned. He had just taken a shower. He was wearing nothing but a towel, his skin warm and damp, carrying the faint scent of soap. Fortunately, the kiss ended as abruptly as it began. He pulled back slightly, though his breath still lingered over her lips, leaving her flustered. "You were going to push me away?" he asked, his deep voice tinged with something unreadable as his eyes locked on her flushed face. Jolie’s lashes quivered, her hands frozen mid-air, and her voice trembled as she stammered, "I… I was

Why was he wasting time with all these talks? Wouldn’t it be better to get straight to the point?Gavin easily read the impatience in her eyes. He remained silent for a moment before shifting his gaze away from her. Jolie frowned, confused by his reaction. What was he thinking? After a long pause, Gavin stood and walked toward the door. Jolie followed him out of the theater room. The living room lights were bright, casting a warm glow over the space. Gavin, now wearing a gray robe, his broad shoulders, and long legs effortlessly exuding authority, strode toward the liquor cabinet. He opened the glass doors, pulled out a bottle, and poured himself a small glass of wine. Taking a slow sip, he leaned against the counter with an air of ease. Jolie didn’t push him further. She had come to understand he operated on his own terms and at his own pace. "Miss Quin, what’s on your mind?" he asked suddenly. "Excuse me?" Jolie blinked, startled by the unexpected question. "What do

Jolie chuckled lightly. "Dolly, you’ve really thought this through, but I’m not ready to deal with it yet. When I’ve made up my mind, I’ll reach out to him." Dolly pressed on. "What exactly are you considering? Maybe I can help you figure it out." Grabbing a cushion, Jolie said, "Everything." Dolly went quiet for a moment before sighing. "Jolie, don’t you think you might be overthinking this? Your goal from the start was a simple arranged marriage. You’re not going to fall for him, and your relationship will be respectful but distant. “If you’re going to overanalyze even an arrangement like this, it’ll only make you unhappy. After all, in our circles, how many people are truly in love?" Jolie hesitated, her thoughts drifting. "You’re probably right, Dolly." Dolly sighed again. "I won’t push you. Just make sure you’ve thought it through before you contact him. He’s approaching this with the same mindset, so don’t leave him hanging for too long." "Alright, I—" Jolie began to

Jolie set her phone aside, waiting for Daisy to finish her rambling before the call finally ended. She suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, as though everything around her had lost its flavor. Pushing her plate of pasta away, she stood up and went to her bedroom to change clothes. Afterward, she stepped outside and made a call to Ian. "Mr. Moore, good evening," Jolie began directly. "I’ve made my decision. I think we can give this a try." Ian’s voice was warm as he replied, "I think so too. Miss Quin, have you had dinner yet?" "Not yet.”"Then let’s have it together," Ian offered. "I’ll send you the location. It’s a new restaurant I recently discovered—it’s quite good." "Sounds great," Jolie agreed. She drove to the restaurant Ian mentioned, and by the time she arrived, he was already waiting. "Mr. Moore, you’re early," Jolie said with a smile as she sat down across from him. Ian smiled gently. "This is technically our first official date. Naturally, I wanted to arrive

The luxury car rolled to a stop, and the driver promptly stepped out to open the door. Gavin emerged, his tall and commanding presence instantly drawing attention. Terence and Daisy quickly descended the steps to greet him. "Mr. Cooper, it’s wonderful to see you," Terence said, a flattering smile on his face. "You’ve come at the perfect time," Daisy added, her tone enthusiastic. "Please, come aboard." Gavin gave a faint nod. "Of course." The banquet was being held on the third deck of the ship, where many guests had already gathered. Some stood out on the deck, admiring the sunset over the water. Gavin’s arrival caused a ripple of surprise among the crowd, but the reaction quickly turned into a flurry of polite greetings as people eagerly approached him. Jolie noticed him immediately. His presence was commanding, making him stand out effortlessly, like a lighthouse towering over a crowded harbor. Her brows furrowed slightly. Why was he here? She distinctly remembere
