After the two little ones fell asleep, the nanny carried them back to their room.

Aveline stood up and said, "I've been working on some sketches lately. You two chat. I just had a spark of inspiration and need to put it down before I lose it." Selena immediately made a show of trying to stop her from leaving, but Aveline only smiled faintly, giving her a meaningful look as if to say, "Take care of Jolie." Selena was left speechless.

She suddenly regretted bringing Jolie here.
