She ended the call in a huff.

After Nicole hung up, Allie's call arrived. This time, she called Cayden's phone directly.

Cayden answered the call and said indifferently, “Mom, it's late. Why are you calling at this hour?”

Allie said earnestly, “Cayden, did Nickie call you earlier? Listen, things will be easier with Nickie's help. Be nice to

her. She's a pretty and nice girl with an influential background. Most importantly, she loves you. I think she suits you

better than Avery. Cayden, you need to treasure her—”

Frowning in annoyance, Cayden cut in, “Mom, I thought I had made myself clear. I don't like Nicole, so we'll never

end up together! I can deal with Chartreuse Garden's matter without Nicole's help. If that's all you want to say, I'll

hang up now. I'm going to bed now. Stop saying that other women suit me better. I don't want my wife to get

upset.”

He then hung up immediately after.

Cayden's words left Allie feeling awkward.

She said those words out loud precisely because she knew for a fact that Avery was beside Cayden. Alas, Cayden

didn't bother showing her any respect.

In the meantime, Avery couldn't believe that Cayden would talk to Allie that way.

Nevertheless, she had to admit that it felt good when she imagined how frustrated Allie was.

Avery handed the milk to Cayden. “You've worked for a long time, so have some milk. No matter how busy you are,

you must take care of your health. Actually, it might really be easier to solve Chartreuse Garden's problem with

Nicole's help.”

Hearing her words, Cayden didn't accept the glass of milk. Instead, he scowled unhappily.

His dark, intense gaze signaled the arrival of a storm.

Narrowing his gaze, he inched nearer to her. “Really?”

Sensing his dangerous aura, Avery couldn't stop her heart from racing. She stared into his black and penetrating

eyes that seemed to suck her soul away.

Cowering back, she placed the glass on the desk.

Cayden stared at her intently before putting his arms around her waist to pin her to the wall. “You don't trust me,

huh?”

His heated breath mingled with her anxious quick pants as they stood in an intimate position.

“Of course I trust you.” Avery gazed at him with her sparkling eyes that brimmed with trust.

Pleased, Cayden nodded. “Mm, good. Don't say silly things to upset me again.”

“Okay.”

“Now that you know you've made a mistake, it's time for you to apologize sincerely.”

“How do I do that?” Avery raised her head in confusion.

“Kiss me!”

Avery blinked twice. As she was so much shorter than him, she could barely kiss his lips despite standing on tiptoes.

Craning her neck, she gave him a firm kiss on the lips.

Cayden frowned in dissatisfaction. “That's too perfunctory. Don't you remember anything from what I taught you?”

Thus, Avery wrapped her arms around his neck and offered him her lips once again. Just like what he had taught

her previously, she forced his lips open and slid her tongue into his mouth.

At once, Cayden took the initiative.

They forgot all their worries and spent a passionate night in the study.

The next day, Cayden left to work before dawn.

Avery woke up at eight as usual. Cayden was nowhere to be seen when she woke up.

She washed herself up in the bathroom downstairs and came out to see an uninvited visitor sitting in the living

room.

Allie scowled when she saw Avery coming out of the bathroom and immediately reprimanded, “Why are you up this

late? I can't believe you slept in when something big happened to Cayden's company. Fortunately, you don't live in

the Moore residence. Otherwise, Lily will mock me for having a daughter-in-law like you! My son cannot afford to

have such a pampered woman as his wife!”

Avery was upset to be reprimanded for no reason.

Forcing a smile, she replied non-committally, “Mdm. Allie, I need to go to work now. Goodbye.”

Allie pinned her with a withering look. “Look at how diligent Cayden is. He went to work early in the morning. If I had

known, I wouldn't come here at all. When you arrive at work, tell Cayden to come home after work. His grandpa

wants to talk to him.”

All the while, Allie never had control over her well-opinionated son.

Despite feeling proud to have such a talented and outstanding son, she was frustrated about not being able to

control him.

Knowing Cayden would most definitely ignore her words, she had to use Jeffrey to force him to obey her words.

Avery replied, “Okay. I'll pass the message to him.”

“Oh, I nearly forgot you work at Cayden's company, too. You got the job with his help, right?” Allie shot Avery a

contemptuous look and added, “You're destined to be an ordinary white-collared worker forever. However, Nicole

isn't only a celebrity, for she also knows investment and finance at a young age. She also offered to help her

mother run their family business after retiring from the entertainment industry. Cayden is busy at work, so he

needs someone like Nickie to help him instead of a useless woman like you.”

Discomfort rose in Avery's heart. Allie is at it again. She keeps mentioning Nicole and comparing us. She just doesn't

like me.

Avery suppressed her discomfort and retorted sharply, “Even if I'm useless, Cayden is willing to spend money on

me. Besides, we plan to have another child next year. Don't worry that I'll have too much free time.”

Fury flashed across Allie's face as she gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “B*tch, look how shameless you are! Cayden

didn't even say he'd marry you, but you're dreaming of getting pregnant with his child! Aren't you ashamed?”

“I'm nothing compared to you, Mdm. Allie. I heard Cayden's father only acknowledged you after you gave birth to

Cayden. I could say the same of you. Moreover, Cayden loves me. It's useless no matter how much you like Nicole,”

came Avery's answer.

Allie's fury boiled over as she grabbed her bag to attack Avery.

“Sorry, but I need to head to work. You're welcome to stay or leave,” Avery announced icily.

She stepped out of the door with her bag in hand, her heels clicking against the ground elegantly.

Her slender figure quickly disappeared from sight. Allie was left alone on the couch, her expression as dark as

thunder.
