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

Chapter 1077

Jolie froze in place, standing on the second floor with her hands gripping the stair railing, her fingers tightening slightly.

The man downstairs seemed to sense her gaze and looked up.

Startled, Jolie instinctively turned her head away. However, there was nowhere to hide on the second floor, making her attempt to avoid him somewhat comical. "What are you hiding from?"

The man's deep, magnetic voice rose from downstairs, his tone casual but carrying a faint sharpness that echoed in her ears.

Jolie pressed her lips together, taking a deep breath before forcing a smile onto her face. She turned around and said, "Mr. Cooper, you must be joking. Why would I be hiding?

The thought of him liking her sister made her expression darken.

Being tangled up with a man who had feelings for her sister-how utterly miserable.
