After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back by Riverflow

Chapter 1052

Jolie followed Selena into the Cooper family villa.

Neither Gavin nor Gernard was home. Gavin was at the office, and Gernard had already left for South Afreeca.

Wilfried had gone fishing with an old friend, leaving only Aveline, Lucas, their two kids, and the household staff in the villa.

Aveline was holding Pax, keeping him entertained, but she looked up at the sound of Selena's voice. Surprised, she asked, "Back so soon?"

Selena had already washed her hands and returned to pick up Joy, gently coaxing the child with a soft tone.

Jolie sat on the edge of the sofa, visibly tense. Noticing her unease, Aveline walked over and asked with a gentle smile, "Would you like to hold the baby?" Jolie blinked in surprise. "Me? Can I really?"
