Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 The Passionate Kiss in the Bathroom 

Jacob stopped in his tracks, looking at Avery without saying a word. Apart from the sound of water flowing, the bathroom was in dead silence. 

The hand on Jacob's wrist was warm and damp, and there was tension between the two of them. 

Avery could only say something she didn't truly mean. "Don't go." 

Jacob grabbed her by the chin, his voice cold. "Even now, you're still pleading for him." 

Avery felt a sense of frustration. No matter what she said, there was only one thought in Jacob's mind, and that was she cheated on him. 

However, the unfaithful one was Jacob. 

Avery felt irritated again. At the thought of Carl's and Randy's youthful faces, she sighed softly. 

Then, she stood up from the bathtub and, disregarding her wet body, took the initiative to embrace Jacob. 

The water on her body slowly wet Jacob's white shirt, yet he didn't step away. 

Avery held onto him cautiously, gently kissing his Adam's apple with her red lips. Then, she felt him tensing up. 

"Jacob, I didn't cheat on you." Avery's soft voice quivered uncontrollably, lacing with sorrow and frustration. 

Jacob wrapped his arms, which were hanging at his sides, around her body and kissed her passionately. 

Avery frowned. 

It had been two years since they had made out with each other. Avery used to love and like to lean against his chest so much, but now she only felt disgusted when she thought that Jacob had also done such things with Layla. 

Just as Avery reached out to push him away, Jacob's phone rang. 

The set ringtone for Layla echoed in the bathroom. 

Avery breathed a sigh of relief. She had never found Layla so endearing before. 

Jacob wanted to continue, but the ringtone kept echoing in the bathroom like an urging spell.
