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..." novelbin
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.
After Jacob answered the phone, he gazed at her again. Avery's eyes had changed. The
entanglements in her heart quietly dissipated, leaving only calmness.
She said again, "It's nothing. I just had a cold and stayed in the hospital for a few days."
Jacob thought about the withered flowers in the wedding room, so she didn't come back for those few
days because she had a cold.
They had not contacted each other for three months since that phone call, and he knew nothing about
it when she was hospitalized.
Her heart was still uncontrollable, and it hurt like being pricked by a needle. She even felt a little guilty.
No wonder she had lost a lot of weight now.
"You..." Jacob opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
He couldn't say a word of concern about their current relationship.
"It's all over, Jacob. We have reached the point where we are tired of seeing each other today. Why
should we hold on to it? Get a divorce. I'm really tired."
The mention of the divorce reminded him of her smile towards Nicholas at the City Hall. It seemed to
light a fire in Jacob's heart, gradually spreading like a prairie fire.
Every time she asked for a divorce, Jacob felt that she was anxious to be with Nicholas.
"Ha."
Avery heard the sneer from his throat. He pinched her chin and said word by word, "About the divorce,
I have the final say. You're still not worse than dead. How can I let you go?"
After saying that, he went to the bathroom, his eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.
He didn't see any other extra hair on the bed. He was still worried that something would happen to her
while she was only thinking about divorce.
"Is that man that good?" thought he.
Three months ago, she was kneeling in front of him to beg him not to divorce her, but now her behavior
only showed being together with him made her feel disgusted.
Jacob looked at him in the mirror. "She is tired of me, isn't she?"
