Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 He Knew She Was Sick 

Why did this happen? 

She really wanted to go back to the carefree time two years ago. 

"I'm here, I'm here." He responded to her patiently. 

Avery knew that his tenderness at this time was just a flash in the pan, and she should not have close contact with him again, but she couldn't help but want to hold on to that little bit of warmth. 

"Jacob, how nice would it be if you didn't change?" 

... 

Jacob woke up at dawn, and before he opened his eyes, he felt someone in his arms. 

He thought of the pile of empty wine bottles last night. He was good at drinking and was temperate enough, so he shouldn't get drunk. 

He had a splitting headache and couldn't remember what happened last night. He felt uneasy and didn't even dare to open his eyes to face it. 

He didn't open his eyes until he had mentally prepared himself. When he saw that the woman in his arms was Avery, he sighed a long sigh of relief. 

But in the next second, he realized how things were now and immediately wanted to get away from Avery. 

Just when he was about to pull out his arm, his eyes suddenly fell on Avery's face, and his movements stopped. 

How long had it been since he had looked at her quietly like this? The memories came flooding back. Every time when they met, there was always tension between them. 

Without putting on makeup, her pale complexion was difficult to conceal. 

Her complexion, though formerly fairly fair, was now so fair as to be almost unnatural. She was as white as a sheet. 

Her delicate little face was pale and she looked like a goblin in a comic.
