Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 The Confrontation

Although the matter between Jacob and Layla was already a done deal, knowing it and seeing it with her own eyes were two different things.

Avery stared intently at the man walking out of the room, their gazes meeting.

Jacob's eyes showed a hint of surprise; he opened his mouth as if wanting to explain something, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

Lily explained, "Jacob, how did you sleep last night? If you're not used to it, I can have someone customize a suitable mattress for you. After all, you'll be sleeping here often after getting married. Consider this place your home, and feel free to ask for anything you need."

At this moment, Layla also played the role with a gentle smile on her face. "Mom has thought of everything. Jacob and I really couldn't sleep well last night."

There was a blush on Layla's face as she spoke, clearly implying something else.

Avery finally understood the meaning behind this breakfast gathering.

It turned out that Lily didn't actually miss her. She deliberately called her over just to test the waters.

She wanted to make Avery realize the difficulties and accept the reality.

How ironic it was.

Lily was now wearing a smile, fawning over her stepdaughter. She remembered everything about her stepdaughter's preferences, yet she couldn't even recall what kind of breakfast she liked.

Perhaps her own birth was an accident from the start.

In the past, Avery believed that there must be some reason behind it all, as no mother in the world would not love her own daughter, right?

Now, Avery realized that such women truly existed in this world.

It was because of this lack of love that she never knew her own preferences.
