My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 437

Esther noticed that Jacob seemed slightly uneasy, and it was enough for her to understand his feelings. He longed for his mother so much but did not know how to interact with her due to the five-year gap. For a child, being close to their mother was instinctual. Jacob’s desire for his mother’s warmth was also innate.

“Jacob, now that your mother is back, it means she has thought it through. She knows that running away won’t solve anything,” she explained.

Xara’s room was a suite consisting of a study, a reception room, a dressing room, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

Jacob wandered around the suite, finally fixing his gaze on a box of biscuits on the small coffee table in the reception room.
