Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Hurt Again 

Avery closed her eyes and prepared to be hit, but the anticipated pain didn't come. 

When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was Jacob picking up the neatly arranged gray suit prepared by her and leaving. He slammed the bedroom door with a deafening sound. 

Avery was left alone in the room, and her body weakly slid to the ground. 

She was too focused on throwing a tantrum to notice that her body had been soaked in sweat. Her body was still trembling, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear. 

The look in Jacob's eyes just now was really terrifying. She thought she wouldn't survive tonight. 

She had never scolded him like this before. Perhaps no one had done such a thing, not to mention her. 

Avery touched her chest. Her heart was still beating rapidly and hadn't calmed down yet. 

A few minutes later, Madison hurriedly ran up. looking at Avery's pale face, she sighed helplessly. "Mrs. Hill, what did you do just now? I have never seen Mr. Hill so angry." 

Only then did Avery come back to her senses. She brushed the hair covering her face and smiled helplessly. "It's nothing. We just had a fight." 

As soon as Madison heard this, she became dissatisfied and quickly sat beside Avery, advising her, "Mrs. Hill, although Mr. Hill has been cheating on you, I always feel that he has no feelings for that tease. Even when you weren't here, he would come back to the Hill Mansion every day to sleep." 

"Just take the incident of you and Mr. Ethan disappearing for example. Mr. Hill stayed awake for several days without eating or drinking. He was in such good health but ended up falling ill. You probably have no idea how many days he was sick. It's only in the past two days that he's started to look a bit better." 

Madison placed her hands on Avery's shoulders. "Don't blame me for being nosy. I've watched Mr. Hill grow up. You are the only woman he brought home, and his feelings for you are really extraordinary. He should be beaten and punished for doing something wrong, but you shouldn't extinguish the genuine affection he has for you." 

"Genuine affection?" Avery thought of Jacob's face and sneered. "I can't afford such genuine affection."
