The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 66

On their way to Cayden's uncle's house, the four of them went to eat breakfast at a restaurant.

Avery felt uneasy because she felt she was out of place around Cayden.

Thankfully, she was wearing her working outfit because she thought she wouldn't have time to go home and get changed after watching the sunrise.

At that moment, she hoped other people would see her as Cayden's secretary.

She also saw how the children were afraid of their father.

When Cayden went to the restroom, Rory complained with strawberry jam around her mouth, “My daddy is like a childish boy, Ms. Ery. He keeps upsetting me and making me cry. Zach can deal with him better because he's stronger than me. Daddy never managed to make him cry before.”

Zachary nodded. “Daddy is short-tempered, and he doesn't like talking to people. We really want to help him overcome his psychological issues, but he doesn't think he's sick.”

Avery smiled as she wiped the jam off of Rory's lips.

Cayden came back from the restroom and sensed the harmonious atmosphere among the three of them, which prompted him to ask jealously, “What are you three talking about? Seems like you all are having fun.”

“We're not happy now that you're back. Tsk.” Rory used her spoon to poke her bread. “I was telling Ms. Ery that you made me cry many times even though you're my daddy.”

“You should never be his girlfriend, Ms. Ery. If you marry him, he'll make you cry too,” she advised worriedly.

Avery nodded as though she was taking the advice seriously. “Got it.”

Cayden drank a mouthful of warm milk and found out that the temperature was just right for consumption. When the server served a cup of hot milk to Avery, he took her cup and gave her his. “Drink mine. It's not scalding anymore.”

Avery was speechless.

The twins exchanged a glance. Is Daddy caring for Ms. Ery right now? So he does know how to take care of someone? He looks like he's being possessed by something again. Sometimes, he'll act nice and warm, but at other times, he'll act cold and gloomy.

Half an hour later, they finished having breakfast.

The children walked to the front while carrying their bags. Rory was whispering something into her brother's ear.

Cayden held Avery's waist from behind. It didn't seem too intimate, but it was still obvious enough for outsiders to tell he was her boyfriend.

Avery felt uncomfortable.

“Don't do this.” She dodged, fearing that other people would see them.

She was fine with it, but she believed it wasn't appropriate for him to do that.

Every move Cayden took could be seen by everyone. The reason the paparazzi didn't keep an eye on him was that they couldn't find any dirt or juicy gossip about him. Even if they followed him for years, they still wouldn't get anything substantial.

However, things were no longer the same.

Avery was worried she would drag him down.

“Don't do what?” Cayden and she were walking about two meters behind the children as he spoke lightly. “When you sleep with me, I'll allow you to say something like that to me on the bed.”

Avery was speechless.

The car was parked quite far away from the restaurant.

Avery didn't want to listen to him teasing her, so she said with a serious expression, “Your usually serious demeanor has scared Rory, you know that? She's a little girl. You'll traumatize her.”

“She's just making things up.” He acted as though he had never scared his daughter before.

She glanced at him. Okay, I get it. He usually appears cold and harsh unless he smiles. However, it seems like an impossible task to make him smile.

Cayden recalled what his daughter had said to Avery earlier. “You should never be his girlfriend, Ms. Ery. If you marry him, he'll make you cry too.”

“Don't listen to Rory's nonsense. I won't make you cry. Well, it doesn't count if it happens on the bed, though,” he uttered. The implied meaning of his words was clear.

Avery coughed. “I'll go and help Rory hold her bag...”

She swiftly stepped forward because she felt much more comfortable spending time with the children than with the man.

Of course she knew what he meant by that. She was a twenty-four-year-old adult, after all.

Cayden's uncle's residence was quite far away.

Before the twins were sent there, Cayden received a call from his uncle.

Therefore, before they all arrived, his uncle, Toby Musk, and aunt, Talia Gilbert, had already been waiting outside of the courtyard for them.

It was a mansion located in a residential area in the suburbs with a quiet environment.

“Granduncle Toby...” Rory approached Toby. It seemed she was quite close to him.

Zachary stood at the side and pulled his sister away. He didn't want her to cling to their granduncle and grandaunt on a hot day.

“That's...” When Toby raised his head, he was surprised to see the woman standing next to Cayden.

Avery hurriedly greeted, “Hello.”

“Ah, hello.” Toby stared at her and was stunned.

Cayden followed his uncle's line of sight and also stared at Avery. There wasn't anything odd about her face. The only thing that was attention-grabbing was her innocent-looking, clean, and beautiful face.

Avery politely greeted Toby and Talia.

Cayden was perplexed by his uncle's strange look and asked, “What's wrong, Uncle Toby?”

“This is...” Toby averted his eyes away from Avery and turned to look at his nephew, who was dressed in a pressed suit.

“I... I'm his secretary,” Avery answered.

She was afraid if Cayden spoke first, he would say she was his girlfriend. It wasn't comfortable enough for her to call them uncle and aunt yet.

Not to mention if Cayden's elders weren't willing to accept a person of ordinary status like her and thought that she didn't deserve him, she would just be digging herself a grave by addressing them like how Cayden did.

Cayden understood her intentions and so he stayed silent.

Toby nodded and said with confusion, “Secretary?”

Soon, Cayden left with Avery, as it was nearly time to work.

After she entered the car, she fastened her seatbelt. “I told my dad I'll be taking him to the hospital for a checkup today, and I've already applied for leave. I'll head back to the company in the afternoon. Once we arrive in the city, you can drop me anywhere you like.”

“I'll go with you.” He started the car engine as he spoke.

“No, my dad...” She wanted to say her father had not known about his existence yet.

It would take time for her to persuade him to accept a rich man as a son-in-law.

Cayden understood that. He patted her head and comforted her, “I understand. I'll prove to your father that not all rich men are indecent.”

Avery nodded.

At the mansion, the twins were playing in the courtyard as they hugged an orange cat in their embrace.

Toby stared at the children in the courtyard with furrowed eyebrows and turned to his wife. “The woman next to Cayden earlier looks really familiar.”

“How does she look familiar? She's just a secretary. She looks quite pretty, and if Cayden likes her, then just let him be. He's an adult now. Who can tell him who he should have a relationship with?” Talia spoke as she watered flowers.

Toby shook his head. “I'm not talking about that. I just feel like she looks really familiar. Think about it carefully. I'm pretty sure she looks like a certain someone when they were young...”

Talia sighed. “A lot of people in Chanaea look similar. Weren't there two male movie stars who looked so similar that they appeared more alike than a pair of actual brothers?”

Toby turned around, knowing that it was pointless talking to his wife any longer.
