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

Chapter 1084

Jolie frowned, confused by his reaction. What was he thinking?

Jolie didn't push him further. She had come to understand he operated on his own terms and at his own pace.

"Miss Quin, what's on your mind?" he asked suddenly.

"Excuse me?" Jolie blinked, startled by the unexpected question. "What do you mean?"

His sudden inquiry threw her off, leaving her uncertain of his intentions.
