Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Whiskers

Avery remembered it after hearing what Jack said. She had seen many weirdos, like Jacob's health freak buddy who soaked goji berries in his thermos in a club where people mixed champagne with ice cubes.

Moreover, that weirdo wore an eye mask and soaked his feet in some herbal water while blabbering, "If we don't take good care of ourselves now, we will fall sick soon." when others held some hot chicks in their arms.

Besides that guy, Jack was the weirdest person Avery had ever seen. Jack had been terrified of any animal with sharp teeth and fur ever since he was a kid.

Back then, when Jack came with Rudolf to celebrate Martin's birthday, Jack ended up getting chased by a cat and stuck up in a tree, too scared to come down.

A lot of kids were laughing at Jack under the tree. Only Avery grabbed that white cat by the neck and looked at him with a grin. "Don't be scared. I got it! Just give me your hand, and I'll help you get down."

"Oh, Jack! Are you still scared of cats now?" Avery recalled that moment and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"To overcome this fear, I've kept a bunch of cats at home, and now, I'm no longer afraid of them. So, how's Whiskers doing?"

It cast a glum look on Avery's face. Whiskers was a thirteen-year-old cat. When the Adams family went broke, Avery was pregnant. Later, Martin had an accident. By the time Avery went to pick up Whiskers, the Adams house was already empty, and Whiskers was nowhere to be seen.

"She's gone. Maybe she's become a stray, or maybe she's already dead," Avery responded.

When Avery married Jacob, she had wanted to bring Whiskers with her. But Jacob hated furry critters, so she never brought it up.

Seeing the disappointed look on her face, Jack whispered, "Two years ago, I found a white cat. It looks quite old. I'm not sure if it's the Whiskers you're looking for."

Finally, Avery's face lit up. "Do you have a picture or something?"

"Yes."

Jack quickly whipped out his phone and showed a photo of a white, long-haired cat chilling under a red plum tree, staring at the blossoms with its deep blue eyes.

"That's Whiskers!"
