Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Her Indifference

Without a second thought, Avery responded, "Are you not coming home tonight?"

Jacob found that her serious demeanor betrayed a hint of excitement. He was threatening her by not going home, but was she actually quite happy?

Indeed, Avery was a bit happy. After all, she had shared a bed with Jacob for the past few nights, and he almost had sex with her several times.

Regardless of what Jacob thought of her, all she wanted now was to stay as far away from him as possible.

Jacob reached out to grab her chin, his thumb gently caressing her lips. "Are you hoping I won't come back?"

Reflecting on how she had been a nuisance in the past, Avery earnestly replied, "Of course. You're Layla's fiance now. Your engagement is imminent, so you can't quarrel because of me. If there are rumors about you and me, it will also impact the stock price of the Hill Group."

After saying this, Avery patted his hand and promised him, "Don't worry. I won't bother you like I used to. I promise you'll have a peaceful night."

Having made such a sincere promise, Avery hoped that Jacob would appreciate her understanding and stop tormenting her.

She thought her flattering words would please Jacob. Little did she know that he looked unhappier and grabbed her chin with more strength.

Was she not convincing enough? Avery furrowed her brows in thought.

Jacob saw no hint of regret or sadness in her eyes. He withdrew his hand and coldly said in her ear, "As you wish! Tonight, I'll stay at the White family."

"Alright, then I'll go home for dinner first."

Before he could spot any signs of sadness on her face, Avery swiftly got out of the car the moment he let go.

Her departing figure showed no signs of sorrow, did it?

They had been divorced for less than three months. Had Avery already moved on from him?

From the rearview mirror, Jason saw Jacob's cold face and cautiously asked, "Mr. Hill, are we leaving now?"

Jacob took a deep breath. "What did she do today? Who did she meet?"
