Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Divorce

The bathroom door was pushed open forcefully, startling Avery who had just tidied her hair. She looked at him guiltily. "You..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Jacob's naked upper body, and his muscular body broke into her sight without any warning.

Even though they had a child, she hadn't seen such a scene for more than a year. It made Avery's heart beat faster, and she quickly looked away.

The figure cast by him shrouded her cheeks, and his unique aura rushed to her face with warmth. Avery subconsciously curled up her body and stared at him with a defensive expression. "What are you going to do?"

Jacob slowly leaned down. The deep eyes fell on her pale cheek, and he asked, "You said you were sick before. What disease did you get?"

Avery looked at his pair of eyes full of inquiry, and her mood was very complicated.

There was no mockery, contempt, or coldness in his eyes. He was sincerely asking about her condition.

Avery's mood was complicated at this moment. She suddenly had an additional thought. If she told Jacob, would he feel a little bit guilty for what he had done before?

Seeing her hesitation, Jacob pressed his body lower. The distance between the two was so close that his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything.

"Huh? Speak." he urged.

Avery panicked and became extremely nervous. She licked her lips and said, "I..."

Jacob's phone rang. It was Layla's exclusive ringtone and Avery's inner demon for over a year.

In the past, when the two of them were together, Jacob would rush towards Layla desperately whenever he heard the ringtone, no matter what he was doing.

Even now, when Avery heard this ringtone, it made her nervous and uneasy.

Today, the sound of the bell was like a bucket of cold water pouring down on her, making her feel cold from head to toe.

She deserved it after being hurt many times and still unable to learn to behave.
