After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1104

Jolie closed her eyes and said weakly, "I won’t break up."

"You…" Daisy was taken aback by her stubbornness.

Jolie had always been the most obedient child, the one who listened without question. Yet now, she was completely unyielding.

Sighing heavily, Daisy sat down beside her. At this point, there was little she could do. Terence had already lashed out, but even that didn’t make Jolie relent. If she refused to break up, what more could they do?

For now, Daisy decided to leave the matter alone. If talking to Jolie wouldn’t work, perhaps convincing Ian would be the way forward.

"Are you hungry?" Daisy asked after a pause.

"No," Jolie replied faintly. The only sensation she could focus on was the pain radiating from her back. She lay on her stomach, too afraid to move.

Daisy let out a soft sigh. "If you get hungry, let me know. I’ll make you whatever you want."

"Mm." Jolie barely responded, closing her eyes as exhaustion pulled her into a restless sleep.

…

Night fell, and Jolie stirred uneasily, a strange feeling washing over her as if someone was watching her.

She opened her eyes groggily, her vision adjusting to the dim room. Her breath hitched when she saw a figure seated beside her bed, staring at her intently.

The room was dark, and at some point, Daisy had left.

Fully awake now, Jolie’s gaze focused on the figure. Her voice, weak and hoarse, broke the silence. "Mr. Cooper?"

Gavin sat there, his eyes fixed on her, his expression unreadable. "You’ve surprised me," he said, his voice low and steady.

He had investigated the situation, uncovering the truth effortlessly. He knew why she’d been beaten—because she’d refused to break up with Ian.

And the reason for her resistance? Her unwavering attachment to Ian.

How laughable.

All of this for Ian?
