Chapter 1083 After finishing her shower, Jolie felt as though she'd gained sclarity. 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 cfrom behind her, slightly off to the side.
Turning around, Jolie spotted Gavin standing at the doorway of a room, the space behind him shrouded in darkness.
She walked over, tilting her head curiously. "Mr. Cooper, what are you doing?" Gavin's eyes darkened slightly as he studied her.
Something about her had changed.
Her gaze seemed brighter, clearer, and when she looked at him, the previous cold indifference was no longer as pronounced.

Jolie hesitated for a moment before following him inside.
She quickly realized it was a htheater.
The spacious room was furnished with several leather recliners, all facing a massive screen at the far end. The lighting was dim, casting the space in a cozy, intimate glow.
Gavin took a seat in one of the chairs, reclining slightly as he settled in.
Jolie glanced around before asking, "Mr. Cooper, are you planning to watch a movie?" "Do you not enjoy movies?" he replied evenly.
She stepped forward and sat down in the chair next to his, a small table separating them.
On the table, an assortment of fruits and snacks had been thoughtfully arranged.
"I do," Jolie replied.
But wasn't she here for something else? Dinner made sense-it was around mealtime. But now, a movie? What was this supposed to mean? Was this all part of selaborate prelude? Gavin glanced at her. "What kind of movies do you like?" "Comedy, horror, thrillers, action... anything, really," she said casually.
"No interest in romance?" he asked.
Jolie's lips twitched into a faint smile. "It's all fake. Nothing worth watching." Gavin raised an eyebrow, studying her expression. Her clear eyes betrayed no hesitation; she meant every word. She didn't believe in love, and naturally, she didn't buy into the love stories portrayed in movies. If it was all just actors playing roles, why not watch something more exciting instead? en Without another word, Gavin tapped on his phone. The massive screen in front of them lit up, and the lights in the room dimmed until they were completely off.
Jolie adjusted her chair into a recliner-bed with a few taps on the controls, settling in comfortably.
Picking up a strawberry from thtable, she popped it into her mouth, her eyes narrowing in quiet contentment.

Gavin watched her every move, his gaze lingering as she lazily ate one strawberry after another. Fora M moment his focus shifted from her to the strawberries. Were they really that good? Curious, he picked one up and tasted it himself. It was... fine. Nothing special.
The movie began. It was a high-octane superhero blockbuster.
The stunning effects and
action-packed scenes quickly grabbed their attention, delivering an exhilarating experience that left little room for small talk. Jolie was fully engrossed in the movie, completely unaware of the man's frequent glances in her direction.
The film lasted about an hour and a half, and by the tit ended, it was well into the evening.
She glanced at the time-nearly ten o'clock.
Surely, it was tto get to the main purpose of her visit? She was eager to wrap things up and head hto sleep.
Turning to Gavin, she asked, "Mr. Cooper, are we watching another one?" Gavin gave her a brief glance and replied, "What do you feel like watching next?" Huh? That wasn't what she meant at all!
Jolie bit her lip, a flicker of embarrassment crossing her face, but she steeled herself and asked bluntly, "When are we getting started?"
