Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Love and Hatred Intertwined

Jacob surveyed the not-so-spacious apartment, every corner bearing traces of Avery.

Seeing the baby crib in the room, the only thing she took from their marital home, stirred complex emotions in Jacob.

The moment Avery jumped, he didn't hesitate to follow, and in that instant, he understood one thing.

No matter how much he hated her, he couldn't let go of his love for her, as love and hatred intertwined.

It was like a thorny rope tightly entwining them, unable to be unraveled even as they both bled profusely.

He gradually pushed Avery into the abyss, yet he, too, was on the brink of falling off the cliff.

Jacob picked up the stuffed toy on the bed, thinking about the hundreds of nights over the past two years when Avery could only sleep while holding onto this doll.

If that incident hadn't happened, he would have been a good husband and a good father.

Avery, every time he thought of this name, his heart still overflowed with love.

He simply couldn't completely let her go.

After spending a while in the bathroom, Avery finally felt a little better.

She slowly got up from the floor, dragging her body covered in cold sweat towards the living room.

She thought Jacob, a man who valued time so much, would have left long ago, but when she looked up, she saw him leaning against the balcony.

The sparks between his fingers flickered unpredictably, and it seemed like his addiction to cigarettes had grown even stronger.

To Avery's surprise, Jacob hadn't left yet.

Or was he waiting to further humiliate himself?
