Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 A Change in Taste

Avery made a bet with herself.

If Jacob still loved her, her death would become the most powerful card for revenge against him.

Even if she really died, she wanted him to never find peace in his lifetime.

Of course, if he didn't love her, telling him the truth would be no different from seeking humiliation. Layla would laugh at her misfortune.

She came out and saw a table of her favorite food.

Avery invited Madison to eat with her. Madison wiped her hands on her apron, sat beside Avery, and served her soup. "Mr. Hill ordered me to stew the chicken soup. See? He cares about you."

The smells of the greasy, spicy food and pungent peppercorns pervaded the air.

Avery liked spicy food, while Jacob liked light cuisine. In the past, their dining table would always have completely different dishes.

But now that her stomach was upset, she could no longer eat such heavy-flavored food.

"Mrs. Hill, why aren't you eating? My cooking skills haven't declined. When Mr. Hill eats at home, he always asks me to cook one or two spicy dishes."

Avery looked at her in surprise. That man had never liked spicy food.

Reading her mind, Madison continued, "That's why I said Mr. Hill cares about you. Even if he doesn't live with you, he still asks me to cook the dishes you like. In the past, you always urged her to eat them, but now he eats them willingly every day. In the beginning, he couldn't bear it and his face would turn red from the spiciness, and he would cough uncontrollably and keep drinking water. Now he can handle some spicy food."

Avery suddenly found it laughable. Jacob tried food she liked, but she had to give up her original preference and switch to lighter flavors because of her illness.

They were destined to drift apart.
