The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 84

Leaning against the car, Cayden felt his body burning up. The tightness in his pants was torturous.

He frowned and took out his cigarette and lighter from the car. After lighting the cigarette, he took a deep puff. All he could do now was to suppress his physical urges with smoking.

His inky eyes stared at the dimly lit room.

It had been a number of years since anyone last stayed in that room. As such, no curtains had been installed. Cayden stared at the room until she turned off the lights.

Avery did not have a good night's sleep.

Neither did Cayden for the first half of the night. Coming back to a small town had invoked some past memories for him.

Both the good and bad memories came swarming vividly into his mind.

Around five in the morning, Avery's head hurt so badly that she woke up.

Sleeping in an unfamiliar place was not the main reason. It was actually because of what Allie had said.

Avery even had a nightmare.

She dreamed that Allie wanted her to leave Cayden and threatened her with death.

Avery got up and folded the blanket before going over to Blake's room.

When Blake saw his granddaughter walking in, he asked, “You're up early. Why don't you sleep for a while more?”

“I usually wake up at around this time.” Avery went over and placed her arms around Blake's neck. “Grandpa, I won't send you over to Dad's place. He has gone away for work and won't be back for quite a long time. So come and stay with me first.”

Blake did not notice the sad look on her face. He patted her hand and said, “I know you're a filial child, but you're about to get married. If I go with you, I will only be a burden to you.”

“No, taking care of you isn't a burden at all. My in-laws will be more than happy to know that I am a filial person. If they want me to be an ungrateful and unfilial person, then I won't marry into that family,” said Avery with a smile. However, there were hints of tears in her eyes.

Perhaps, she was not in a good mood when she woke up. That was why she felt empty.

It was as if she had lost something important.

Cayden walked in through the front door, and Avery saw him carrying coffee and donuts.

“Grandpa, let's have breakfast.” Avery bent down and put Blake's shoes on for him.

She then helped him into the kitchen.

Cayden kept Blake accompanied by eating and chatting with him.


On the other hand, Avery gobbled down her food and rushed to pack Blake's things.

It was then she realized that Blake's daily necessities were not worn out at all. In fact, some of them were from international brands that she would not have bought for herself even though she was earning a living.









































Huh... his bags are all from Prada.

The man that Alina had married was known to be pleasant and generous. When he brought Alina and Blake with him to stay in Jetroina, their living conditions were above par. That fact was apparent judging from the branded bag.

After enjoying a few years of a pleasant life, Blake must have been depressed when he had to come back to this poor, shabby town.

Once Avery had packed Blake's things, she helped him to change his clothes and got into the car.

One neighbor who had woken up early spotted them and asked, “Old Mr. Rumpley, where are you going?”

Avery immediately recognized that annoying neighbor, and she replied on her grandpa's behalf, “I'm taking Grandpa to my house.”

With that, Avery slammed the car door shut.

Irked, that neighbor yelled, “Oh, are you taking your grandpa to the city to enjoy a good life? Hmph! Don't be like your Aunt Alina now. She had to send Blake back here after a while. Your Aunt Alina became so arrogant after marrying a rich man, but in the end, she was chased away and had to come back here. The way I see it, all the daughters from the Rumpleys lack the luck to enjoy luxurious lives.”

Avery ignored the horrible comment from the neighbour.

Meanwhile, Cayden was in the house and taking the bag out when he heard the commotion.

Noticing that his expression was darkening, Avery went up and stopped him. She looked up into his frosty eyes and urged him, “Don't bother with this kind of people.”

Cayden said angrily, “Such poor manners!”

“Don't expect good manners from the unreasonable neighbors here.” All of a sudden, Avery gave Cayden a hug.

The thought of meeting Allie had soured her mood.

On the way back to Ackleton, Blake asked Avery, “Where is your dad working? He didn't mention anything when I spoke to him a few days ago.”

Cayden glanced at Blake and Avery through the rearview mirror.
