The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 83

Allie had always spoken in a strange manner. In that instant, Avery was so taken aback that she had even forgotten to greet her.

“Where are you? I want to see you right now, Avery. I think we should have a serious talk. It's better for both of us,” Allie ranted.

When Allie saw her at the Moore residence, she had addressed her as Ery. Now, she called her Avery instead.

Avery recalled the time when she was five years old. She had been pushed to the ground by other children, and her knee was bleeding.

Upon reaching home, she cried and asked her grandfather for her mother. She then asked him why did she not have a mother.

Those children with moms were always bullying her and calling her a bastard child. They even said she deserved to be bullied.

Her grandpa was so agonized by the persistent cries that he became stern to her for the first time in her life. All of a sudden, he started addressing her as Avery instead of Ery.

After that, she heard something that she would never forget again in that lifetime.

With a solemn expression, her grandpa said, “You don't have a mom. Remember that and be brave. As long as I am still alive, I will raise you! So don't count on your mom. When I told you that your mom has gone away for work, it was a lie. I didn't want to upset you. After your mom has given birth to you, she

abandoned you. What other people say is true. Your mom has dumped you. That woman is a gold digger who sleeps around with other men and lets your dad down! In order to enjoy a good life, she is willing to cast her own flesh and blood away! If I haven't taken you in, you might have grown up in an orphanage instead.”

This time around, Allie had addressed her with a very bad attitude.

I wonder what she wants to talk about with me...

“Can't we just talk over the phone?” Avery wanted to know immediately what awaited her.

“I can't talk about this over the phone. I'm afraid that you can't take it and may lose your mind. So, I need you to be within my sight so that I can make sure that you can control your emotions,” said Allie. She paused before continuing, “If you can't get keep your composure, I can help you.”

Avery's hand that was holding onto the phone kept trembling.

“I'm sorry, but I won't be able to meet you today. I'm visiting my grandpa. By the looks of it, I can only be back by tomorrow.” Avery was anxious, but there was no way she could take her grandfather with her that night.

His aged body could no longer handle an overnight trip.

Allie thought about it and said, “Fine. I'll wait for you to come back tomorrow.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Goodbye.” With that, Avery was about to end the call.

“Wait.” Allie stopped and reminded her, “It's best that you don't let Cayden know about this. As far as I'm concerned, this issue is between the two of us. It should be quite easy to resolve the problem.”

“All right. I understand,” agreed Avery.

Allie still seemed to be worried. She added, “Don't try anything sneaky and let Cayden know about this behind my back. I can tell you that this won't bode well for both of you. If you inform Cayden about this, you will regret it once we meet up in Ackleton and you hear what I have to say. I promise you that.”

“I'll see you tomorrow.” Avery hung up the call.

Just then, Blake came out with his walking stick and asked, “Who was that? Is it your dad?”

There was uncertainty in Avery's eyes. She regained her senses and helped Blake. “Grandpa, you should go and sleep now. You're coming with me to Ackleton tomorrow. Let's stay together from now on.”

With Avery supporting him, Blake soon went back to his room.

Inside, there was a wooden bed with an old blanket on it.

Avery squatted down and removed Blake's shoes for him. Next, she prepared a basin of water to wash his feet. After wiping them dry, she laid the elderly man down.

All the while, Blake was still insisting on his way. “I won't be leaving with you. I'm fine staying here by myself.”

“That won't do. I want to live with you. After all, you have taken care of me since I was little. Now that I'm financially viable, I want to take care of you and let you live a comfortable life.” Avery was not going to give in. Instead, she tucked Blake in before leaving.

Cayden was waiting outside the door when Avery went out.

The air in the small town was very refreshing, especially at night. The dews condensed and covered the surrounding greenery. There was a light fragrance in the air.

“Tonight, you...” Avery looked at him and wondered how he was going to sleep that night.

Cayden took the cigarette from his mouth and reached out to hold her when they heard the door open. The small piece of glass on the door made a sound whenever someone opened the door.

“Zayne, why don't you stay with me...” Blake was a little worried, so he staggered out of the house with his walking stick.

Avery was speechless.

Cayden pointed to his car that was parked outside and said, “I'll sleep in the car, Grandpa. It's spacious enough for me.”

“Isn't it cold in the car? I'm afraid you may find it too frigid for your comfort.”

“It's not. I've brought blankets with me.”

With that, Cayden helped Blake back into the room.

Once everything quietened down, Cayden came out and went to her room to take his coat and car key. He looked at Avery and said, “I'll be sleeping in the car. Come with me.”

Trailing behind him quietly, Avery was scared that Blake would appear again and ask her to sleep in the house.

Cayden opened the car door and placed his coat on the seat. He then turned around to hug her and rested his chin on her head. “I want to sleep with you so badly that I'm about to go crazy.”

Avery allowed him to embrace her. For some reason, she felt melancholic.

She knew nothing good would come out of Allie looking for her. Most likely, she would persuade me to leave Cayden. There might even be a twist in the plot, where she offers me money in return.

Most wealthy women would utilize that method to get rid of ordinary women that were clinging to their

sons. That happened in both TV dramas as well as in reality.

In fact, in reality, it was more dramatic than TV dramas.

Cayden lowered his head and kissed her lips. On the cool summer night, the lingering kiss was so searing hot that Avery could not take it any longer. She was about to pass out because of the passionate kiss.

Blake was right not to let the two of them sleep together. From the older generation's point of view, they were not allowed to stay in the same room if they were not married yet.

As far as Blake was concerned, he did not care what the young couple did once they got back to Ackleton as long as nothing indecent happened while they were under his watch.

“I should go back. I still have to pack Grandpa's things tomorrow.” Avery tried to wriggle her way out of his firm embrace.

As she removed her hands first, she lost her balance, and her left hand accidentally pressed on the bulge in Cayden's pants.

Acting as though scalded, she quickly removed her hand.

When Avery recalled the last time he pleasured her with his fingers at the hotel suite, she blushed furiously and ran back to the house.
