Chapter 163 Kiss Her on the Lips

Chapter 163 Kiss Her on the Lips

As Avery passed by Carl and Randy, the two children looked at her with reluctance.

Avery gave them a faint smile as a comfort.

Frank said nothing and watched Avery board the helicopter, knowing that this was not a good

opportunity to kill Jacob.

Jacob couldn't die here, and Frank couldn't bring trouble to the island.

But once Jacob was off the island...

A hint of fierceness flashed across Frank's eyes, and coincidentally, Jacob turned around at that

moment as if sensing something.

The two men locked eyes like a lion and a tiger, glancing at each other. Their gazes met and parted in

an instant.

They both understood that today was not the end.

Avery left the small island without time to say goodbye. She looked back at the small wooden house

and the giant cherry blossom tree. Then she saw Lois standing at the door, the neighbor's old lady, the

children all watching her leave.

At some point, Frank had disappeared, the sunlight only capturing his silhouette. He was like a lone Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

wolf, gradually retreating into the forest.

"Goodbye, my little island," Avery murmured in her head.

Avery closed her eyes, feeling regretful that she couldn't wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom.

And the fact that Jacob had brought her back so openly, it was bound to be discovered, and her plan

was ruined.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to leave?" Jacob's deep voice sounded in her ear.

Avery was very cautious about her words now, fearing to provoke Jacob with the wrong sentence.

She shook her head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

The truth would anger Jacob, but he could see through a lie in an instant.

Her fear of him had gone to her very marrow, and she didn't even know what to say.

It seemed that Jacob also realized this. He leaned in towards her, and Avery reflexively trembled, like a

startled cat, watching him with a guarded expression on her face.

Seeing her startled look, Jacob reached out and pulled her into his arms. Avery didn't dare to struggle.

She just leaned on his chest without moving, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat.

She shrank her body, unable to fathom Jacob's thoughts. She had no idea how he would torment her

next.

The plane landed on the tarmac of Hill Mansion, and Avery was inexplicably filled with fear.

Even her legs were trembling as she stepped off the plane, and Jacob's gaze fell on her trembling

figure.

Avery seemed very like a stray cat in the wild, wary of humans after enduring their abuse.

Whenever Jacob looked at her, her eyes were filled with fear.

Just like now, even though he had done nothing but cast a sidelong glance at her, her body trembled a

little.

Although Avery had returned, she had become even more sensitive and timid than before.

She would carefully check his expressions and dared not freely speak her mind.

This added a great deal of anxiety to Jacob.

Avery stared after him, feeling as though he was angry again, but she hadn't done or said anything.

"Then why is he angry?" she wondered.

She discreetly touched the pocket where she hid her slingshot, hoping that she would never have to

use it.

As soon as they entered, Madison took Ethan off to play, and Avery followed Jacob upstairs.

As she stepped inside, the door closed behind her.

The room was dimly lit, the blackout curtains drawn, with only a sliver of light. She watched the dust

dance in the beam and Jacob's rolling Adam's apple.

His face was shrouded in darkness, so Avery couldn't see any expression on his face.

Her lips and neck were exposed to the sunlight, and a rough hand brushed against her lips, making

them warmer.

She didn't know what new torment Jacob had come up with, and just as she was about to speak, his

long fingers slid down from her lips to her delicate collarbone.

In the darkness, his breath grew heavier, and Avery had no idea what he was going to do.

Just as she was about to speak, he turned his head and leaned down towards her. His face briefly

flashed in the sunlight, and then he pressed his lips against hers.
