After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1121

Jolie opened the door and asked curiously, “When did you leave?”

Gavin replied, “I live upstairs. I just went back to take a shower.”

He had also changed into a simple set of loungewear—a white T-shirt—that made him look several years younger.

Jolie’s gaze lingered on him briefly before she quickly looked away and shut the door.

She headed straight to the bedroom, but Gavin watched her and asked, “Why aren’t you going to the master bedroom?”

Without turning back, Jolie replied, “I don’t want to end up having to change the sheets later. It’s exhausting.”

She was well aware of his tendencies. Once things started, they wouldn’t stop until everything was a complete mess.

She cleverly opted for the guest room, figuring she could clean up after a good night’s sleep.

However, Gavin said, “But I want to be in the master bedroom.”

Jolie immediately frowned and turned back to glare at him. “Gavin, do you always have to be so demanding? This is my house!”

Gavin looked at her calmly. “If you’re not okay with it, we can go to my place.”

After a pause, he added, “It’s not far. Just upstairs.”

Jolie was speechless. She was utterly defeated.

“Fine, let’s go to your place!”

She spun around and stomped toward the door, her face puffed with annoyance.

Gavin’s lips curved into a faint smile, though the expression vanished just as quickly as it appeared.

Once they got into the elevator, Jolie began to regret her decision. Why had she suggested going to his place?

Wasn’t this akin to walking right into a lion’s den?

But there was no time to overthink it. His place was just upstairs, barely ten minutes away.

Gavin stepped out of the elevator first, opened the door, and turned to look at her.
