Chapter 39 You Owe Me a Honeymoon Trip

Jacob didn't expose her lame lie. He stood by the dining table and called out, "Wash your hands and

join me for dinner."

The light cast a glow on him. At that moment, he was not in a formal suit. The fluffy cashmere added a

touch of gentleness to him. Even his usually stern face seemed less cold.

He still wore the apron Avery had bought for him three years ago. Everything seemed unchanged.

Avery smiled and trotted toward him, seeing a table full of spicy dishes she used to love. Jacob would

know that her taste had changed if he had paid attention to the meals Madison made for her during

these days.

Jacob no longer paid as much attention to her as he did in the past. They were trying their best to

pretend that their lives were still the same, but in reality, everything had already fallen apart.

Many things ended silently, just like his love. There were no answers; silence and distance were the

answers.

Although Avery's stomach couldn't handle spicy and greasy food anymore, she had longed for this

table full of dishes for two years, so she endured the discomfort and ate them. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

When a person's life was coming to an end, they cherished every meal they had even more. After all,

they did not have many meals left.

After all, Jacob and Avery had known each other for a long time. Jacob could tell whether she was truly

happy or pretending with just one look. It was obvious that she was forcing a smile. He wondered if his

cooking skills deteriorated in the past two years.

Jacob, who had been silent throughout the meal, finally spoke up, "Is the food not to your taste?"

"No, it's great, as always. I was just thinking about how long it has been since we last had a meal

together. And how much longer can we eat together?"

If it were in the past, Jacob would have answered "forever." But now, he just looked out of the window

at the snowflakes and remained silent.

Avery blamed herself silently, "Alas! You're simply upsetting yourself. Why did you have to ask such a

stupid question? One month, and that is his limit."

Before he could answer, a stabbing pain shot through her stomach. It had been a long time since she

had eaten something spicy, and now that it fermented. It was causing her so much pain that tears were

welling up.

"I'm full. Take your time," Avery hurriedly stood up and quickly went upstairs.

She vomited hard again. Looking at the large patches of blood stains, she knew that she didn't have

much time left. She had to seize every moment.

Avery avoided her injured arm and quickly cleaned herself up. Fortunately, although her hair was falling

out quite a bit, as long as she stopped the chemotherapy, it wouldn't all fall out.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Although she appeared pale and haggard, her thin face made her

eyes look even bigger, which made her shockingly beautiful. Thankfully, she could leave this world as a

breathtaking lady.

Jacob stayed in the study, and Avery knocked on the door and entered. He was wearing gold-rimmed

glasses.

Both Jacob and Nicholas wore glasses, but Nicholas looked refined, while Jacob appeared cold and

dangerous.

Jacob looked up coldly at her, and Avery went straight to the point. "I want to go see the Northern

Lights at Snowland. You owe me a honeymoon trip."

They had only registered for marriage back then and didn't have a wedding. Even if they were

photographed together, he would order them to delete the pictures so nobody knew he was married.

Apart from that marriage certificate, Avery got nothing that a woman dreamed about, like a wedding, a

wedding dress, or a honeymoon.

That was why Jacob had particularly pampered her after their marriage as if he wanted to make up for

what she had been missing.

Jacob put down the pen in his hand, pushed his glasses up his nose, and spoke in a low, deep voice,

"You should know that the end of the year is a busy time for me, and the Northern Lights are not

something that can be seen every day."

In other words, he couldn't afford to spend the time and energy on that.
