Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Her Act

Even without looking, Avery knew who it was. The man in the back seat wore a nicely tailored suit that accentuated his perfect shoulders and waistline.

The buttons on his shirt reflected a glimmer of light in the dark night, just like his aggressive eyes.

It was just a silhouette, but highly recognizable.

The scent of cedar on his body entered her nose, creating a hint of ambiguity in the cramped back seat.

She suppressed the urge to push him away, focusing on preparing for her next plan.

"Where have you been?" She spoke first to break the silence in the car.

When she let go of him, the good thing was that she no longer paid attention to his every move. She wouldn't check his latest updates on Instagram or click on his profile to see his new status over and over again.

If it weren't for Jacob sending someone to pick him up, she wouldn't have known that he had been abroad.

"On a business trip," Jacob answered concisely.

He had wanted to mention the incident with Leon but felt that it would dampen the mood to bring up such a topic now.

Now she was leaning against his arms, and her warmth was transferred to the surface of his thigh.

In this cramped space, the intimate position made his heart uncontrollably ignite with heat.

He couldn't wait to do something.

His slender fingertips moved along her delicate neck, leaving behind more warmth wherever they touched.

Finally, his fingers rested on her brow bone as he carefully examined her face. His voice lacked the usual coldness as he asked, "Is your injury healed?"

In the dim light from outside, he could see a small scar on her brow, barely visible unless he looked closely.

His rough fingertips gently rubbed her injury, and his breath lightly brushed against her forehead. "Thank you for that day."

She had saved Ethan, so he showed her an unusual gentleness.
