After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

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 respond but suddenly froze as a shadow loomed over her.

Before she could react, a warm, firm pressure descended on her lips. Gavin had swooped in and kissed her, his breath hot against her skin as he deepened the kiss with deliberate intensity. A startled gasp escaped her, and her eyes widened in shock.

She stared at him, utterly incredulous at his sudden move.

"What's that sound?" Dolly's confused voice crackled through the phone.

Jolie snapped back to reality, quickly shoving Gavin away.
