Chapter 33 Jacob Didn't Embrace Her
Avery was undeniably beautiful; even when she was silent crying, she looked beautiful, evoking a
sense of pity in people.
John softly called her, "Mrs. Hill, Mr. Hill is waiting for you."
Avery returned to her senses and reached up to touch her wet face, realizing she had been crying
again.
"John, I must look terrible now, right?"
John had been with Jacob for many years, seeing her vibrant and full of life. She had transformed from All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
a budding flower into a withered one in just two years.
"No, Mrs. Hill, you look beautiful. No one can compare to you," John said, handing her a tissue.
Avery wiped away her tears and said, "I used to hate people who cried all the time without reason. But
before I knew it, I'd become the person I despised. Now I also cry a lot."
John met her eyes, filled with sadness, and for the first time, he responded in a way he rarely did,
"Then forget about everything that makes you cry."
Jacob had spent the night reconsidering things, amending the divorce agreement, which signaled that
he was ready to let go.
The Adams family had already gone bankrupt, and the mastermind, Martin, was barely clinging to life.
Avery had suffered immensely over the past two years, and Jacob intended to let her go.
That's why he offered her such a generous divorce settlement; he wanted to ensure she wouldn't live a
miserable life later.
Leaving now was the wisest choice. Avery was an intelligent person; she should know when to give up.
Did she think that Jacob would get back together with her?
Finally free from the dilemma, she wanted to dive back in. That would just be repeating the same
mistakes and enduring the same hardships.
Avery sighed, "If my child were still alive, they would be this age now."
John hesitated, then said, "Mrs. Hill, you're still young. You'll have children in the future."
Avery's expression was desolate, and John couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. He
wanted to ask more questions, but Avery spoke up again, "Let's go."
Jacob was already waiting for her in the car, his handsome face exuding an unbreakable chill. He didn't
even turn to look at her.
When Avery got into the car, he crossed his arms and exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at a
distance. He asked, "What can you get in one month?"
"You," Avery replied, throwing herself into Jacob's arms.
Up until yesterday, Avery had harbored resentment and even thoughts of revenge. When she saw the
evidence, she was conflicted. She hated Jacob for what he had done to the Adams family and his
betrayal.
However, she couldn't ignore what Martin had done, and she had gained some understanding of
Jacob's situation. Since it was impossible to untangle the mess, she could only bring an end to it with
her death. Before that, she wanted to leave without regrets.
Jacob didn't embrace her; instead, he uttered a cold statement, "After the New Year, I will get engaged
to Layla."
Avery's fingers, clutching his coat, tightened, and her smile froze.
In the backseat, there was an eerie silence. Even though the car had working heating, Jason couldn't
help but feel a chill.
After a while, Avery slowly lifted her head. "I just want this one month."
Jacob looked at her pitiful appearance, overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling. "Even if it were a
year, nothing would change between us. Do you understand?"
Avery bit her lip. "I understand. Just spend one month with me, okay?"
She was almost pleading, and Jacob initially thought she was using her usual tactics to keep him.
However, this time, her eyes held a rare seriousness.
"Alright, just one month."
Avery wrapped her arms around his waist and mumbled, "Tonight, I want to eat the meal you cook."
