After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Awake?" Gavin walked over to her, his gaze falling on her slightly dazed face. Without warning, he reached out and pinched her cheek. The action was natural, even intimate, leaving her no time to react.

Gavin wasn't one to overthink-when he wanted to do something, he simply did it.

Truth be told, he'd wanted to do this for a long time.

Her cheeks were softer than he had imagined, and the sensation was oddly satisfying.

Jolie nodded, then asked, "Didn't you go to work?"

"I'm back," Gavin replied simply.

Back already? She was a bit surprised but didn't linger on it. Instead, she said, "There's something I need to tell you."

Gavin naturally took her hand and led her to the sofa. Sitting down beside her, he said, "Go ahead."

Jolie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Technically, I'm still abroad."

The statement seemed abrupt and confusing, something that would make no sense to anyone unfamiliar with the context.

But Gavin understood immediately.
