After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Jolie froze for a moment as Gavin moved closer. His earlier words echoed in her mind, making her inexplicably nervous.

But instead of doing anything unexpected, Gavin grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. "Go change. I'm taking you out to eat."

Jolie stumbled forward a couple of steps, startled.

A look of surprise flashed across her face.

A date?

She nodded quickly. "Alright."

Back in her apartment, she leaned against the door, her heart fluttering with unexpected excitement.

It was her first date!

She needed to dress up for this.

Jolie rushed to her bedroom, took a shower, and began picking out an outfit. She carefully applied her makeup, making sure everything was just right.

By the time she was ready, two hours had flown by.

She sent Gavin a quick message, then opened her door-only to find him already standing there, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit. He leaned casually against the wall, exuding an air of effortless elegance.

Jolie blinked in surprise. "Have you been waiting here this whole time?"

"I just got here," Gavin replied smoothly.

To him, waiting for his girlfriend was a given there was no need to overthink it.

"Hungry?" he asked.

Instead of answering, Jolie spun in a small circle in front of him, her floral dress swaying with her movements. "Do I look pretty?"

Gavin's dark eyes deepened as he took in her appearance. She wore a flowy floral dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her light makeup was exquisitely done, highlighting her youthful, sweet aura. She smelled faintly of a soft, sweet fragrance-everything about her was warm, delicate, and utterly captivating.

She was a vision of charm.

"Yes," he murmured in acknowledgment.

Jolie frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied. "Just one word? No detailed feedback? You don't feel anything special?"

"I do," Gavin said honestly.

Her curiosity piqued, Jolie pressed further. "What kind of feeling?"

Gavin's gaze never wavered as he answered, "I feel like kissing you."

And with that, he cupped the back of her head with one hand, leaned down, and kissed her without hesitation. "Mm!"

Jolie barely had time to react before Gavin's kiss landed firmly, leaving her no room to escape.

Her lips were thoroughly ravaged, and her lipstick was completely devoured-there wasn't a trace of it left.

Later, standing in the elevator, Jolie pulled out a small mirror to touch up her makeup, her cheeks puffed out in indignation.

"From now on, if I'm wearing makeup, you're not allowed to kiss me without my permission!" she

said, glaring at him with her bright eyes, her tone full of seriousness. en FindNovel

"No," Gavin replied calmly.

Jolie turned to him immediately. "What do you mean, no?"

Gavin said matter-of-factly, "You're my girlfriend. Kissing you is my right as your boyfriend. You can't take that away from me."

Jolie's eyes widened slightly, and she pointed at her lips. "But look at what you've done! My lipstick is completely gone!"

She couldn't accept his nearly predatory kissing style. It was as if he intended to consume her entirely.

Gavin's gaže dropped to her lips,

now free of any lipstick. They glowed with their natural, soft red hueЄplump, fresh, and incredibly enticing.

"You look even better like this," Gavin said simply.

Jolie didn't believe him for a second. "Either way, if I'm wearing lipstick, no kissing!"

Gavin remained silent, offering no agreement.

When the elevator doors opened, Jolie had already finished retouching her makeup. In no time, she was back to looking like a radiant little

fairy.

By then, the golden hues of dusk painted the horizon. Once they got into the car, Jolie turned to him and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Dinner first, then a movie," Gavin replied.

Jolie blinked in surprise. "So... today is our date?"

"Does this count as a date?" Gavin asked.

"Didn't you plan it?" Jolie retorted.

"I did," Gavin admitted. "I just didn't think something as simple as dinner and a movie would qualify as a date."
