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

Chapter 1060

"You..."

Jolie was stunned, completely taken aback that her unintentional actions had been twisted into something so outrageous by him.

"No, that's not true! I wasn't..." She shook her head furiously, desperately denying the accusations.

Gavin's eyes bore into hers, his gaze intense and unreadable. His large hand still rested on her bare waist, the occasional movement of his fingers causing her body to tense.

The unfamiliar sensation sent a strange shiver through her an unfamiliar and unnerving response. She tried her best to suppress the fluttering feeling, remaining perfectly still, afraid to make any sudden moves.

His voice, calm and detached, broke the silence. "If that's the case, why did you say those things? Weren't you testing whether I see you as Selena's substitute?"

Jolie froze.

Her thoughts, her intentions-everything had been laid bare. The stark embarrassment of having her ploy exposed washed over her like a tidal wave.

She wasn't a match for him. That much was painfully clear.

But what could she do now? How could she salvage the situation?

Her startled, flustered expression didn't escape Gavin's notice. His arm tightened around her, pulling her closer against him. His sharp nose brushed against hers, their breaths mingling in the narrowing space between them. Pinned beneath him, Jolie found herself utterly at his mercy. His sudden closeness left her completely powerless.
