Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Asking about Her Condition

Jacob finally believed it to some extent. Isabella wouldn't dare to deceive him.

"She was sick a while ago?"

"Yes, during that time, I ignored her because I was breaking up with that scumbag. Luckily, Nic cooked for her every day."

Isabella originally wanted to tell Jacob the truth, but their relationship was so complicated that even Avery probably couldn't explain it clearly. She didn't know what kind of consequences would arise from revealing the truth to this man, so she could only abide by Avery's decision.

Thinking about Avery's pale face during that time, Jacob asked again, "What kind of illness did she have?"

Isabella's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't have even the slightest hint of expression on her face under Jacob's sharp eyes. "Just a cold."

"Just a cold?"

"What else could it be? Avy has always been healthy."

"That's true." Jacob agreed. She acted so weakly, probably just trying to gain sympathy and prevent a divorce from him.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Jacob stood up and said, "If you're interested, you can go to Hill Real Estate to work tomorrow."

Isabella's eyes lit up. Hill Real Estate was the real estate division of the Hill Group. If she could work there, who else could make her feel inferior?

"Thank you, Mr. Hill."

Watching Jacob leave, Isabella caught up with him and asked, "Mr. Hill, I haven't been able to reach Avy on her phone. Have you seen her?"

Jacob turned to look at her. "What do you think?"

He was right here, so why was she asking such a silly question?
