Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 She Was On The Verge Of Death

Jacob was nearly swayed by that tantalizing smile so close to him, but his rationality pulled him back to reality.

He furrowed his brows and looked displeased. "Avery, what kind of game are you playing now?"

Avery replied thoughtfully, "I'm not playing a game. I want to spend another three months with you. After three months, whether you marry Layla or have children, I won't interfere anymore."

At that time, she would probably be close to the end of her life and find a place with no one to spend her remaining days.

Jacob met her serious gaze and found himself increasingly unable to understand Avery. He initially thought she would hate him even more after they discussed this openly. However, he didn't expect her to make this decision.

Jacob gave her a cold, scrutinizing look. "What if I don't agree?"

"Then I will never sign the divorce papers. I can wait. I'm afraid your beloved woman and child can't wait."

Avery raised an eyebrow in her usual playful manner. "Just three months. After three months, I will sign the divorce papers and leave Astrie forever."

Jacob sneered, "Are you willing to leave Martin alone?"

She was on the verge of death; how could she still care about others?

Avery replied calmly, "The doctor says there's little chance of my dad waking up. If he becomes a vegetable, where he stays won't matter."

Perhaps on the day of her life's end, she would ask the hospital to euthanize Martin. He might not even have anyone to collect his body if she passed away first.

What if Jacob decided to throw him into the sea one day? In the end, there might not be intact remains left, and he would be unrecognizable in the afterlife.

It was better for them to die simultaneously so the road to the afterlife wouldn't be lonely.

Jacob didn't answer, but Layla said, "Jacob, is it done?"

Their previous attempts at divorce had all failed. Layla wasn't willing to sit back and wait any longer; she was preparing to take the initiative.
