The next morning, Jolie woke up nestled in Gavin's arms. His position hadn't changed much throughout the night, holding her securely as if she might vanish if he let go. Turning slightly, she glanced at his peaceful sleeping face. Still asleep, he seemed less sharp, more tranquil, the usual coldness in his features softened. "What are you staring at?"

Just as she was lost in thought, his slightly hoarse voice broke the silence.

Jolie quickly averted her gaze, her tone defensive. "I was wondering why you're still here."

Gavin opened his eyes, his gaze landing on her delicate profile. Without a word, he got up and walked into the bathroom.

The bathroom had disposable toiletries prepared, and Gavin began washing up right there. Jolie cast him a quick glance before silently moving to stand beside him, brushing her teeth as well. Neither of them spoke, but as Jolie caught sight of their reflection in the mirror, a strange thought crossed her mind: they looked like a married couple who had been together for years. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.

Finishing quickly, she left the bathroom in a hurry.

However, before she could take more than a few steps, Gavin strode over, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her back.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, startled, turning to look at him. "What are you doing?"

Gavin's intense gaze locked onto hers, his Adam's apple moving slightly. "The fourth time."

"What? Wait, you-"

Jolie tried to protest, but before she could finish, he had already carried her back to the bed. His kisses, faintly tasting of mouthwash, began to fall one after another.

Jolie was speechless.
