Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Have You Seen Enough?

After dealing with the people from the White family and coming back, Jacob thought Avery would be waiting for him in the living room.

Just like many times before, no matter how late he came back, he could always see her sleeping on the sofa in the living room.

She would always leave a light on.

But today, when he pushed open the door, the room was pitch black and Avery was not on the sofa.

He drank some alcohol, feeling slightly intoxicated.

In the past, at this time, Avery would have already greeted him, complaining while making him sobering tea.

Although she would nag, it was what he liked the most.

Unlike now, although there was heating in the room, he felt cold.

Pushing the door open, he could faintly see a lump on the bed under the light from outside.

She was already asleep.

Shortly after Avery fell asleep, she was pulled into a warm embrace, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, causing her to wake up from her dream.

"Did you drink?"

Hearing her sleepy voice, Jacob unwillingly said, "Avery, you've changed your heart."

Avery laughed as if she heard a joke. "Are you kidding? Aren't you the one who changed your heart first?"

Jacob held her tightly in his arms. He had less hostility and like a large dog.

His deep voice was tinged with drunkenness and sounded in her ear, "I didn't change my heart, never."

Avery thought he was just talking nonsense after drinking. After all, his and Layla's son were already one year old. What right did he have to say he didn't change his heart?

But she understood Jacob's personality. At this moment, she could only go along with him, or she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

She didn't dare to move and could only quietly curl up in Jacob's embrace, afraid of angering him.

Doing so indeed made Jacob very pleased. His hand around her waist tightened, and he even rested his head on Avery's shoulder.

"Avy, I finally found you after so much effort. Don't run away again, okay?"
