Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 The So-called Mother's Love

She had thought she didn't care anymore, but now, at this moment, she realized she couldn't completely remove this man from her world.

After so many years of love, she couldn't just give up on it in a matter of months.

She hugged her knees, resting her head on them, her mind filled with images of Jacob and Layla on the bed, her heart aching.

She stayed like that until dawn, enduring the whole night.

Avery looked at the empty bed beside her, laughing self-deprecatingly.

The phone on the bedside table rang, and she quickly answered it. It was Lily, repeatedly asking Avery to come over. She said she had made breakfast that Avery liked, and Ben also wanted to see her.

Avery hung up the phone coldly, but her legs wouldn't obey her command to get out of bed.

It had been many years since she had eaten her mother's breakfast.

In her memory, Lily was very virtuous and cooked delicious dishes. Although she rarely cooked herself, every time she did, it would leave Avery amazed for a long time.

When she finally realized, she was already at the White Residence.

Servants welcomed her, and Lily was as noble and graceful as ever.

It was clear that Ben treated her well, as most of the time they met, she had a smile on her face.

Unlike the days by Martin's side, she seemed expressionless.

Love and indifference could both be reflected on her face. At that time, she treated Martin and herself with coldness, even cooking only when she was in a good mood.

Avery had always sensed the atmosphere between her parents from an early age, so she tried to be obedient.

Even though she loved eating the food her mother cooked, she never asked for Lily to attend every parent-teacher meeting.

She thought that if she did better in school and was more obedient, the relationship between her dad and mom would be better. Maybe they would accompany her to the amusement park on her birthday.
