Chapter 1085
Jolie was speechless.
This man was utterly shameless!
The night was a whirlwind of passion.
Once she decided to let go, she embraced the experience fully.
Her sudden enthusiasm surprised Gavin, who hadn't expected such a shift in her demeanor. Her flushed cheeks, quickened breaths, and slender legs wrapped around his waist revealed a fiery side of her that was completely unlike before. This time was far more intense than their previous encounters.
It wasn't until dawn that Jolie finally fell asleep. Gavin carried her to the bathroom, cleaned her up, and then carefully tucked her back into bed. Watching her sleep, her defenses completely down, his eyes darkened with unreadable emotion.
...
When Jolie woke, it was already noon.
Turning over, she accidentally rolled into Gavin's chest.
Startled, she froze.
Opening her eyes, she saw him propped up against the headboard. A pair of glasses rested on his face, and a tablet sat on his lap as he worked on something.
"You're not at work?" she asked, her voice muffled from just waking up.
Her sleepy tone, coupled with the lingering drowsiness in her expression, made her seem adorably innocent.
Gavin removed his glasses, set the tablet aside, and turned his gaze to her. "Are you hungry?"
Jolie nodded.
Without another word, Gavin got up and left the room.
She sat there for a moment, feeling dazed and confused about their dynamic.
Were they... too comfortable with each other?
It felt oddly domestic, almost like they were an old married couple.
Shaking off the thought, Jolie covered her eyes with her hand, frustration bubbling up inside her. This feeling was unsettling.
After washing up and getting dressed, she walked out to find Gavin in the kitchen.
He stood tall by the counter, wearing a black apron tied around his waist. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows as he focused on chopping vegetables.
The rhythmic sound of the knife
hitting the cutting board filled the air.
His

efficient, exuding a natural ease that caught her off guard.
Leaning against the doorframe, Jolie watched him in mild surprise.
This was Gavin Cooper, the heir of the Cooper family, yet here he was, cooking.
As if sensing her curiosity, he spoke without looking up. "I didn't like the food abroad, so I taught myself how to cook."
Gavin didn't turn his head but seemed to sense her gaze and read her thoughts effortlessly. Without looking back, he spoke directly. Jolie fell silent, startled.
"How is his intuition this sharp?" she thought.
Was this man a devil?
Her lips parted as if to say something, but she hesitated. Initially planning to leave without a word, she decided against it at the last second. "Mr. Cooper, you're very impressive."
Gavin finally turned, his eyes meeting hers. "In which way, exactly?"
Jolie blinked, taken aback.
Was he flirting with her?
Choosing not to dignify his question with an answer, she turned on her heel and walked away.
Gavin's lips curved slightly in amusement as he continued preparing the meal.noveldrama
Settling on the couch in the living room, Jolie picked up her phone and began scrolling through her messages. One from Daisy popped up, asking her where she was. Jolie frowned but ignored it as angther notification came in-this time from lan.
"Have you made up your mind, Miss Quin?"
Jolie didn't reply immediately. Before she could decide, her phone rang. It was Dolly.
"Hello, Dolly," Jolie answered.
"Jolie! So, what do you think? How do you feel about lan?"
Jolie hesitated for a moment. "Do you really know everything about him?"
"Not entirely. Why? Did you notice something off about him?"
Jolie lowered her gaze. "Not exactly. He seems nice, but I'm still thinking it over."
Dolly laughed. "What's there to think about? You'll never know what he's really like unless you spend more time with him! How about this: let's go out tonight for dinner and a
movie I'll set it up just like I net
last
time-halfway through, I'll make an excuse and leave so you two can have some time alone. Sound good?"
