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

Chapter 1053

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.

What on earth had possessed her to do that? Was she out of her mind?

Aveline had already gone upstairs, and now Selena couldn't just get up and leave. Glancing at Jolie, she asked, "Want to watch TV?"

Instead of answering, Jolie asked, "Why did you bring me here, Selena?"

Selena fell silent.

Her irritation spiked.

Why did everything have to be spelled out? Why couldn't people just let things be?

With a grumble, she snapped, "You probably think I've lost my mind, don't you?"

Jolie chuckled softly. "If that's the case, I hope you keep losing your mind more often."

Selena was speechless.
