Chapter 57 Excuses for His Affair
Nicholas's words were a unilateral declaration of war against Jacob, which made Avery extremely
nervous. She knew Jacob's possessiveness.
Although they were divorced, as he had said before, he would never want to see Avery live a happy
life.
Nicholas mentioned it to her on such an occasion. If she rejected him, wouldn't it embarrass him a lot?
They were from the same circle, and he would inevitably become the laughingstock of others.
Avery felt trapped as if she had been pushed onto a rack and repeatedly roasted.
Isabella knew Avery's situation and helped her out with a smile. "Of course, you can. The best way to
forget an ex is either time or a new lover. Nic, you are handsome, and you two can have more contact.
Avy has been hurt badly by a scumbag, and I hope someone can heal her broken heart soon."
These words clearly tied Avery and Nicholas together. Avery hurriedly interrupted her, "Bella."
Isabella didn't take Avery's warning to heart at all, her mind was filled with thoughts of revenge against
Jacob.
"Why are you shy? You're already divorced. Do you plan to live alone for the rest of your life? I'm sure
Nic won't be like that scumbag. Nic, do you have any free time recently? I plan to accompany Avy to
visit the Northernmost River. It's not safe for two girls to travel alone..." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"I would be honored to escort you. It's my pleasure." Nicholas's eyes couldn't be gentler as he looked at
Avery.
Isabella deliberately glanced at Jacob's livid face and felt much better.
Jacob didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the constant cold aura emanating from him
reminded everyone of his presence.
Andrew stepped forward to change the topic. "I'm really happy to see Avery find happiness again. As
your old classmate, I'm genuinely happy for you. But today, it's rare to see Mr. Hill, and I feel truly
honored. So, to Mr. Hill and Miss White. I wish you happiness forever."
Upon hearing this blessing, Layla's mood soared. She picked up her glass and was about to drink, but
Jacob had a cold expression and didn't intend to take his glass at all.
Jacob, as a person of his status, wouldn't drink just anyone's toast. She explained that Jacob wasn't
feeling well and couldn't drink alcohol, and everyone understood. No one dared to force Jacob to drink.
Although Jacob didn't drink, they had to toast him. Soon, everyone had proposed a toast to him.
Sarah didn't like Avery to begin with. Avery had taken the spotlight just now and didn't even pay
attention to Jacob now, so she disdainfully reminded Avery.
"Avery, don't tell me you still think of yourself as the noble daughter of the Adams family, waiting for
others to toast to you. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and toast to Mr. Hill and Mrs. Hill!"
Every time Avery heard the title "Mrs. Hill", she still felt a bit dazed. She looked at Jacob and Layla,
who seemed to enjoy dressing in matching outfits, one in white and the other in black. They were a
perfect match.
He had never taken her out to socialize before, let alone show up at her friends' gatherings.
She had asked him why, and he said the deeper he hid their relationship, the safer she would be.
Avery didn't know who his enemies were. Anyway, she didn't care about the title "Mrs. Hill". As long as
Jacob loved her, it was enough.
Now she realized how naive she had been back then. That was just an excuse he made up. If he truly
loved her, how could he not let others know?
Maybe he had been paving the way for Layla's arrival all along. All those blood feuds were just excuses
for his affair.
He was sitting not far away from Avery, but she suddenly felt that he was very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar
that the beautiful memories she had cherished before seemed blurry.
The essence of most men was being unfaithful. How could she naively think that she was lucky enough
to meet a good man?
