After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1095

"Sure, no problem!" Dolly agreed eagerly, sending all the pictures to Jolie.

Then, propping her chin on one hand, she grinned mischievously at her. "I have to say, you really caught everyone off guard tonight. Were your parents shocked? It’s such a pity I wasn’t nearby—I would’ve recorded the whole thing."

Jolie scrolled through the photos again and replied, "They were definitely stunned, but they had to keep up appearances, so they didn’t say much."

Setting her phone down, she glanced at Dolly. "Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve seen them so flustered in years. It felt amazing."

Dolly gave her a thumbs-up, then asked, "So, what’s next for you and Ian? I mean, he’s already met your parents. Is the next step meeting his family and planning the engagement?"

Jolie sighed lightly. "It’s not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Dolly’s brows furrowed in confusion. "The Moore family isn’t bad at all. Your parents still don’t approve?"

Jolie looked at her friend seriously. "Do you know who they have in mind for me?"

Dolly blinked a few times, then gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. "No way! Your parents want Gavin Cooper?"

Even as she spoke Gavin’s name, Dolly instinctively lowered her voice, as though saying it too loudly might invite trouble.

"Exactly," Jolie said, nodding in confirmation.

"Oh my God!" Dolly exclaimed, her shock evident. "Gavin Cooper! The legend of our generation in Larbor City! Your parents are really aiming high. I mean, seriously, Gavin’s family is in a completely different league. No offense, but your family doesn’t exactly bring any benefits to the Coopers. If anything, they’d see it as a burden. There’s no way the Coopers would agree to it."

She paused, her eyes glinting with intrigue as she added, "And besides, Gavin Cooper is... well, strange. He became a legend in his twenties, and after taking over Cooper Enterprises, he skyrocketed it to new heights. But he’s known to be utterly ruthless. Oh, and here’s some juicy gossip—I heard he’s... not great in that department."
