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

Chapter 1103

Aveline said, "It's absolutely true. I should've recorded it. Then you wouldn't doubt me."

"No, no, I'm not doubting you," Gernard replied quickly.

"I just didn't expect it. Brother actually said something like that? He's always been distant from women. Growing up, there were girls who liked him, but he never paid them any attention. During school, he focused on studying, and after that, on work. Honestly, I thought he might never learn how to date. And now... he's finally thawed!"

He sounded amazed, but soon his brows furrowed. "This Jolie-she's Selena's younger sister, isn't she?"

Aveline nodded. "That's right."

Gernard's frown deepened. "I think I've seen her before. She does resemble Selena a bit. Baby sister, you know Gavin had feelings for Selena before, but he came into the picture too late. She was already married. Do you think... is it possible he sees Jolie as a stand-in for Selena?"

Aveline's expression immediately grew tense. If that were true, it would indeed be unsettling.

What woman could tolerate being treated as someone else's replacement? Especially when that someone was her own sister?

Gernard clicked his tongue thoughtfully. "You never know. Unrequited love can make people act in strange ways."
