The CEO Gets What He Wants

Cayden nodded but did not say anything.

“But I want to sleep with Ms. Ery too.” Rory pleaded while looking at her father with hopeful eyes.

Rory had always thought of Cayden as an overbearing and unreasonable person.

Zachary overheard Rory's conversation with Cayden while he was walking to the door. What a silly and innocent little girl. I'm sure Daddy will not say yes to your request. He's possessive of everything, including Ms. Ery.

“Bring your sister back to her room, Zach.” As a father, Cayden had a soft spot for his daughter but was particularly strict with Zachary. That was why he instructed his son to escort Rory to her room.

Zachary casually walked over, held Rory's hand, and said, “Come, let's go to bed.”

After Rory had reluctantly left the room with Zachary, Cayden put down his coat, leaned sideways on the bed, and fixed his gaze on the woman who was already sound asleep.

Meanwhile, Zachary came out of Rory's bathroom after adjusting the shower temperature.

He led Rory into the bathroom. “Go and take a shower. I'll wait for you outside.”

Zachary and Rory were both independent children no matter where they were.

Since the house came with a bathroom that was designed with children's safety in mind, Rory and Zachary could bathe without adult supervision.

Rory came out of the shower ten minutes later and used a pink towel with a cartoon character to dry her hair. She then walked up to Zachary and requested him to blow-dry her hair.

Before sleep, Rory remembered she had not given Kendrick a call.

Before this, Kendrick had reminded Rory to call him before bed.

Rory picked up the speaker in her room and pressed his phone number with her clumsy fingers.

“Hello,” Kendrick answered the call.

“Uncle Kendrick, Rory here...”

“Rory? You're with your dad, right? By the way, did you manage to find Ms. Ery?”

“Yeah, we found her, but we don't know why she's asleep. We couldn't wake her up. The doctor came earlier, and Dad is in the bedroom right now,” Rory explained in detail.

Kendrick could not help but think something was amiss. But since Rory said the doctor came and left, I supposed nothing's wrong with Ery?

“All right, got it. Don't stay up too late, okay? Ask Zach to sleep early too.” Kendrick was about to end the call.

“But Ms. Ery's hands are cold. I wanted to sleep with her to warm her hands, but Daddy doesn't allow me to stay in her room,” Rory complained. “Daddy said he wants to sleep with Ms. Ery instead, but I don't think he knows how to take care of her. I'm worried, Uncle Kendrick.”

Upon hearing that, Kendrick chortled. “I'm sure your dad can take good care of Ms. Ery. I bet he has ways to warm her cold hands!”

Knowing that his niece was overwhelmed with jealousy, he quickly put in a good word for his brother. “Do you want your daddy to marry Ms. Ery? Do you want Ms. Ery to be your Mommy?”

“Yeah.” Rory nodded.

“If that's what you want, you should stay away from the room and don't disturb your daddy and Ms. Ery. From now on, I'll start praying for them to get together, and you should do the same too.” Kendrick continued explaining. He only ended the call when Rory finally understood his intention and went to bed with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Cayden went to the bathroom, turned on the hot water tap, and dipped a white towel into the water. A minute later, he dipped his hand into the water regardless of its temperature to retrieve the towel and squeezed it dry.

He returned to the bed and used the damp and lukewarm towel to wipe Avery's cheeks, forehead, and neck.

During the cleaning, he had to unbutton the collar of her shirt.

Cayden loomed over and caught a glimpse of Avery's chest. He could vaguely see her silky smooth bosoms as she breathed.

He continued wiping every part of her body with the towel.

Cayden then removed her clothes and put them in the bathroom.

It was already late at night.

After taking a shower, Cayden went to Zachary and Rory's rooms to check on them. Upon noticing they were all sleeping like a baby, he turned off the lights in the living room, returned to his bedroom, and locked the door from inside.

At that time, Avery was already wearing a pair of men's pajamas. The sleepwear was black with gray stripes faintly printed on the fabric.

Cayden flipped her over, helped her put on her nightgown, and tied the strings around her waist. He adjusted the woman's position to ensure she slept sideways and faced the left side of the bed.

On the other hand, Cayden slept on the right side of the bed. He wanted to avoid looking at her face to prevent himself from taking advantage of Avery. After all, he had the vigor of a young man and knew he might get aroused easily.

Cayden tossed and turned in bed but could not sleep. He eventually tilted his body to look at Avery beside him.

The woman's silky smooth long hair spread like feathers on his pillow, and her body gave out a charming scent. Cayden could not look away from the petite figure beneath the oversized nightgown.

After leaning forward and gently flipping Avery over, Cayden pulled her to his chest and placed her head on his broad shoulder.

His breathing became more intense when his large palm touched the woman's smooth skin. He stared down at her gorgeous natural face with a fair complexion.
