The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495 Intense Feelings

Claire's razor-sharp eyes fell on Cayden, and she studied him carefully. She could not help but sigh. This young man is indeed outstanding.

The other men were dressed in suits. Cayden, on the other hand, was wearing a white shirt with casual black pants. Yet, his casual dress sense was unable to conceal his natural elegant temperament.

He exuded a posh, yet aloof aura. In fact, he was so bewitching that one would be spellbound just looking at him.

Cayden was truly a man who was capable of mesmerizing most women. His calm and cool exterior belied his powerful and domineering aura, causing others to be attracted to him.

That, however, did not mean that he could lie to her daughter.

Nicole was blinded by love at the moment. A response from Cayden meant the world to her.

Unfortunately, Claire did not see any hint of love for Nicole in Cayden's eyes.

"Mrs. Lambert," Cayden greeted the woman as he walked over. He was taken aback by the similar aura she had with Avery when he saw her.

As he linked arms with Nicole, he stuffed his hand in his pocket, exuding an air of casual elegance instead of impoliteness.

"Mr. Moore, please don't mind me asking, but I wonder if you have tied up all loose ends with Ms. Rumpley on the day of your engagement banquet? Nickie is my one and only daughter. She's still young and doesn't understand certain things. But, as her mother, I have to be responsible for her life," said Claire with a friendly smile, but the cold look in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

It was as if she was testing him.

Nicole tightened her grip on Cayden's arm.

Mom is an intelligent woman. She should be able to tell that I'm determined to be with Cayden from the way I brought him here to attend Grandma's birthday banquet. What's wrong with her today? Cayden has finally agreed to go out with me, and now Mom is making things difficult for us. What is she trying to do?

"Mom, just let bygones be bygones. Why are you bringing it up? Since Cayden has decided to be with me, I'm sure he would settle everything. I love him, and he's willing to be with me. That's enough for me. Furthermore, no one can predict the future. Who knows what will happen?"

Nicole then smiled at Claire before nudging the man, saying coyly, "Cayden, quick, explain to my mom."

Cayden kept his gaze lowered. As such, Nicole could not see his expression and did not know what he was thinking about.

Biting the bullet, she urged, "Cayden..."

Cayden remained silent and pursed his good-looking lips.

The man's silence was making Nicole anxious, for she desperately wanted his protection and assurance to prove to her mother that they would make things work. Claire would definitely disapprove of their relationship if Cayden ended up pissing her off.

Naturally, Claire could sense that something was amiss.

This man isn't even willing to put on a perfunctory act with my daughter. How can I entrust Nickie to him?

She could not help but mock, "Mr. Moore, if you are sincere about dating Nickie, please prove it to me. If not "

Before Claire could finish her sentence, Cayden cut her off with his deep, magnetic voice. "Mrs. Lambert, no matter what I say, I doubt you will believe me."
