Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Visiting Jane

The man who spent half a year personally building a rose garden for her because of a single word from her now refused to spend time with her, even if it was just a few days.

When he loved her, he truly loved, and when he no longer loved, he was truly heartless.

Avery gently tugged at the corner of his shirt, pleading, "I don't have much time left. Just promise me! Pretty please!"

"Avery, don't push your luck." Jacob looked at her coldly and ruthlessly rejected her, treating her request to stay with her for one month as pushing his limits.

"Push my luck? Do I?" Avery self-mockingly smiled. "You just think being with me is a waste of time, don't you? You're busy preparing for your engagement, right?"

Jacob gently tapped his slender fingers on the desk, seemingly indifferent as he stared at her. "I've already told you that I'm going to get engaged soon."

Although his face didn't show much emotion, Avery understood the mockery in his eyes.

This one month was something she had begged for, so she thought she deserved it.

She just quietly stared at him and finally smiled. "All right. It turned out to be my wishful thinking. Sorry for bothering you."

Avery pushed open the door and left. Jacob's voice suddenly sounded from behind. "You can pick a place within our country."

Avery paused, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. "Then let's go to Northernmost River, shall we?"

This time, Jacob didn't reject it. His Adam's apple moved slightly as he responded, "Okay."

Avery left happily. The chances of seeing the Northern Lights at Northernmost River were relatively slim, but if he could accompany her during her last moments, Avery would be satisfied.
