After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Winter had settled in, and the season's first snowfall blanketed the ground. Aveline wrapped her scarf snugly around her face as she stepped out of the building. The sky had already darkened, and she noticed a car parked a short distance away. Her steps faltered slightly when she spotted Gernard standing there, clad in a black coat.

"Mr. Cooper," she greeted as she approached, offering a polite smile. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

Gernard smiled faintly and opened the car door. "No need to apologize; I just got here myself. Let's get in."

"Alright." Aveline nodded.

Earlier, Gernard had contacted her out of the blue, saying he wanted to meet. She felt a little puzzled but didn't refuse. After all, Gernard was her brother by blood. Perhaps this would be a chance to gauge his stance on things. The car's heating was on high, quickly dispelling the cold as Aveline removed her scarf. They drove to a restaurant, and once inside a private room, Gernard spoke up, "I came back unexpectedly this time. I hope I didn't startle you?" "No, not at all. Did you finish everything you had to take care of in Arthur Town?" Aveline asked.

Gernard nodded. "Yes, it's all settled now, which is why I'm back."

He sat across from her, studying her face.

Her features were elegant and striking.

She usually wore minimal makeup, just a touch of bold lipstick on occasion.
