The CEO Gets What He Wants
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.
