After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

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."

Aveline gently rubbed her arm. "Take your time. The fact that you brought her here today is already a big step. There's no need to rush. You've got plenty of time."

"Mm," Selena murmured.
