Chapter 1083

After finishing her shower, Jolie felt as though she'd gained some clarity. With her thoughts sorted, she decided there was no point in being reserved anymore. She stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a robe. But when she walked into the living room, Gavin was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? Where did he go?" she muttered, a hint of confusion flickering across her face. She called out tentatively, "Mr. Cooper? Mr. Cooper?"

"Over here."

A voice came from behind her, slightly off to the side.

She walked over, tilting her head curiously. "Mr. Cooper, what are you doing?"

What had happened to cause such a shift in her demeanor?

"Come in," he said, turning and walking into the room.
