All the missed calls were from Daisy.
A trace of mockery flickered in Jolie's eyes, quickly replaced by deep helplessness.
Her resistance was so obvious, yet in the end, things didn't go as she wished.
She still couldn’t shake off Gavin.
And this was only the first time.
There were still nine more to come.
If promises weren’t fulfilled immediately, the timeline would stretch indefinitely.
This meant their interactions would continue.
And the Quin family's goal would be achieved.
Resisting further would only make her look like a joke.
She closed her eyes briefly, choosing not to call Daisy but to send a message instead.
"Out with friends."
Dais replied, "Then why didn’t you answer my call? I thought something happened to you."
Looking at the message, Jolie found it laughable.
She didn’t think Daisy truly believed something had happened to her; she simply assumed she was with Gavin.
That was why, after a few calls, Daisy stopped trying.
If Daisy truly thought she was in danger, she would have turned the world upside down to find her.
Jolie wrote, "No, just stayed out late. My phone was on silent, so I didn’t hear it."
Daisy replied, "Alright, come back early."
“Okay."
After putting her phone away, Jolie moved slightly, feeling a bit better, and got up to head to the bathroom to freshen up.
She noticed that new toiletries had been prepared, and neatly placed right next to Gavin’s.
There was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Frowning, Jolie moved them aside.
She didn’t like this kind of intimacy.
She and Gavin would never have that kind of intimate relationship.
Leaving the bedroom, she found breakfast on the dining table as expected—freshly baked croissants and a bowl of oatmeal, ready to be warmed and enjoyed.
After finishing the meal, Jolie left directly.
She felt a strong aversion to this place and had no interest in even glancing around to see what Gavin's house looked like.
