The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 384

It was still rush hour as the streets were full of cars.

Under Cayden's encouragement, Avery finally started the engine.

She was especially careful when driving to avoid bumping into other cars. More than that, she was afraid that people would bump into Cayden's car.

However, she failed to realize that almost every car made way for her after recognizing the car that she was driving.

After all, most people couldn't afford to bump into a car like that. Even a small scratch on it would cost more than their cars. So naturally, they wouldn't dare get near it.

Despite the heavy traffic, Avery was able to drive with ease.

She could see that Cayden was resting with his eyes closed instead of keeping an eye on her from the corner of her eyes.

Cayden was mature, charming, and successful. Not to mention that he was rich and prominent. It wasn't a stretch to say that he was the most desirable man in Ackleton.

Avery felt really lucky to have such a perfect man in her life.

However, upon remembering Nina's situation, she began hesitantly, “There's something that I need your help with, Cayden. I know I shouldn't trouble you, but I don't know what else to do...”

Cayden turned his handsome face toward her. “No worries. It's never trouble for me to do anything for you.”

Avery was embarrassed to continue.

Truth be told, an elegant and mature man like Cayden always got what he wanted and was used to giving orders to other people. Avery and he belonged to two different worlds.

However, Cayden had never acted high and mighty in front of Avery. Instead, he treated her with tenderness and affection. Sometimes, she wondered what did he see in her.

Avery bit her lip gently and explained briefly, “It's about Nina. She was raped by Aaron because of me, and unfortunately, she became pregnant...”

Seeing that Cayden was listening to her seriously, she continued grimly, “Nina's condition is rather dangerous. The doctor mentioned that if she miscarries, there is a huge possibility that she may not be able to become pregnant again. She was going to keep the baby but Aaron forcefully aborted her baby. That man is too cruel! Not only did he hurt Nina, but he also killed her baby... I want to avenge Nina by making sure that Aaron Gibson receives the punishment he deserves. A scumbag like him must be arrested!”

Just as Avery finished, they reached a crossroad.

After stepping on the brakes, she turned around to look at Cayden.

After stepping on the brakes, she turned around to look at Cayden.

It was hard to guess what the latter was thinking based on his expression. The only thing he did was press his fingers on his temples and massage them. It felt like the air was colder as the car fell silent.

Avery thought that it was rather a serious topic.

After a long moment of thinking, she began saying remorsefully, “I know this is a difficult and abrupt thing to ask you for. After all, Aaron is Xander's younger brother, and you and Xander are buddies. It's just that I think what Aaron did to Nina was too much, and I feel so guilty because I'm the reason why Nina ended up in that situation. At the end of the day, this is my fault. But as an ordinary person, I don't have the power to deal with a wicked man who is rich and powerful.”

Avery finished talking, but Cayden still didn't say a word.

Seeing that, she felt her heart sink. Thinking that she put him in a difficult position, she lowered her head sadly.

At that moment, the traffic light turned green. A few seconds later, several cars behind started honking.

Startled by the sudden noise, Avery lifted her foot on the brakes abruptly, causing the car to jolt forward and speed up.

She panicked and instinctively aimed for the brakes again. Unfortunately, she was too flustered to control the steering wheel after hitting the brakes. As the car swerved sideways toward a white BMW, Avery screamed.

“Ah!”

She felt like everything around her was flickering. When she came back to her sense, she was already cradled in Cayden's arms.

Avery was trembling in fear. She felt as if her heart had jumped to her throat. It took a while for her to steady her breathing.

Although she passed her driving test with flying colors, the truth was she didn't have a lot of opportunities to drive. After a few years of lack of practice, it was no surprise that she became unfamiliar with the steering wheel.

Furthermore, it wasn't easy to drive a sports car like Cayden's.

Despite being careful, she still got themselves into an accident.

However, the pain that she expected did not arrive because Cayden shielded her from the impact. Just as the car was about to crash into the BMW, the man had protected her and turned the steering wheel away.

He managed to change the car's direction and hit the traffic barrier by the road instead, preventing a car accident just in time.

“Cayden...” Avery's voice was hoarse. She looked frightened.

Cayden frowned slightly. Other than Avery's petite face turning pale, the two of them were fine because their seatbelts cushioned the blow.

Avery stared at him nervously, looking like a child who made a mistake. She tried to open her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

“Are you okay? Say something.” Cayden patted Avery's head gently to comfort her. He knew that she was still in shock because of her pallid complexion.

“Are you frightened? You're such a little girl,” he murmured.

Avery exhaled and forced herself to calm down.

Putting a hand over her chest, she could still feel her heart pounding furiously against her ribcage. “I... My driving skills are too poor. It's my fault for getting distracted and being startled by the cars honking behind us. Luckily you stopped the car in time”, she said.

“It's the drivers' fault for honking at you. If they didn't startle you, you wouldn't have panicked,” Cayden half-joked. “Everything is all right as long as no one is hurt.”

Avery wound down the car window. She felt even worse upon seeing the scrape on the car from hitting the traffic barrier.

The car was obviously expensive. Even if it was just a small scrape, it would definitely cost a huge amount of money when the car was sent to the car repair shop for maintenance.

At the same time, the owner of the white BMW pulled over nearby.

A young man with his hair slicked back wound down the car window and started to yell at Avery and Cayden. “Do you even know how to drive? I was driving straight in my lane and you swerved at me! Are you f*cking blind? What if you hit my car? Would you be able to compensate for it?”

The moment Cayden glared coldly at the owner of the BMW, who was cursing at them, the man shuddered involuntarily upon sensing his murderous aura.

Cayden's dark eyes glinted coldly like rare gemstones. The iciness in his eyes was enough to make the owner of the BMW shudder and shut his mouth.

The man looked at the sports car in front of him again. His eyes widened in fear when he noticed that the car plate number was fully comprised of the number eight. Frightened, he did not dare continue his argument with them. He simply wound up his car window and drove away in a hurry.


“Cayden...” Avery's voice was hoarse. She looked frightened.
