Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 A Tyrant

Layla glanced at Jacob's stern face. He didn't like to expose his relationship with Avery to the public, especially since they had already divorced. Was it Nicholas's act of drinking on her behalf that unnerved him?

Layla glared at the troublemaker. It seemed that divorce was not enough. She was still the one in Jacob's heart.

Nicholas found himself in an awkward situation. The room fell silent, and no one dared provoke Jacob at such a moment.

He understood Jacob's intentions. The man wanted him to know his limits and give up on Avery.

If it were someone else, he would have to agree under Jacob's threat, but Nicholas's mind was filled with Avery's smile. No one knew that he fell in love with her at first sight.

Back then, she was radiant and full of life, like the morning sunshine.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was busy graduating and preparing to study abroad, so he buried his feelings deep inside his heart. When he returned to the country, he learned that she had dropped out of school and married someone else. When he saw her again, she had lost the vitality she had before.

She was like a withering tree, drained of its nourishment gradually approaching death.

She had finally gotten divorced, and he wanted to be with her, even just for a short time.

As a man who had always followed the rules and conventions, Nicholas had never pursued his desires. For the first time, he ignored Jacob's threat and forged forward. His eyes were clear and filled with determination.

"It's not up to you to determine whether I am worthy or not. Your fiancée is by your side, and the one you should pay attention to is her. Regardless of whether Avy will accept me or not, I will protect her and never hurt her like her ex-husband did."

With that, he tilted his head back and finished Avery's remaining drink in one gulp. He placed the glass on the table with a thud and held Avery's hand. "It's getting late. I'll take Avy home and leave you guys discussing business."

Isabella itched to clap her hand and cheer for Dr. Lewis.
