Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 My Ex-husband Died

It was not wrong to say that humans were inherently nosy. Many years ago, Avery gave up a promising career and got married in secret. Over the years, her secret spouse had become a mystery at Astrie University.

Nicholas was a senior who seemed detached from worldly affairs, but he was particularly warm to her, which naturally sparked endless speculation among everyone.

Although Jacob didn't say a word, Avery could feel the strong and endless oppression from him.

Avery put down her fork and elegantly wiped the corner of her lips. "Are you that curious?"

"Yes, Avery, don't keep us guessing. Only the ending of One Piece and the identity of your secret spouse can make me so curious."

"Right, I want to know too."

Avery looked around and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.

"As for my secret spouse..." When she said this, her gaze paused for a second on Jacob's face.

His handsome face still showed no expression, making it impossible to detect any emotional fluctuations. Only his right thumb and index finger slowly rubbed against the back of his left hand.

Having been with him for several years, Avery understood very well that this was his signal of danger. He didn't want her to mention anything related to him.

Ignoring the pain in her heart, Avery continued with a smile, "Instead of calling him a secret spouse, it's better to refer to him as my ex-husband."

Layla, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Oh? Who is your ex-husband?"
