The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 678 What Exactly Does He Want

Avery said, “I'm taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”

Cecelia was so startled that she nearly dropped Cal from her thighs.

She quickly grabbed the little boy, her gaze meeting Avery's directly. “Come on. Cal is only two years old. Do you

think he's suitable to go on a long-distance trip? Furthermore, if Cayden is still alive, with his intelligence and

wisdom, he should have returned by now since two years have already passed. Avery, I hate to say this, even if you

don't want to accept the reality—Cayden is gone. Moreover, the fact that Cayden was attacked in Mocset indicates

that he has enemies there. It'll be a dangerous place for you to be there! You'll risk exposing yourselves and Cal to

the enemy if you insist on going there. Even if you don't consider your own safety, you should at least think about

your little boy, right? After all, he's still so young.”

“No. I know Cayden is still alive. I can feel it in my bones.” Avery refused to accept Cecelia's advice, even though

what she said made sense. I will not believe Cayden is gone until I see his body with my own eyes.

Moreover, Sid's recent update indicated that Cayden might still be alive.

Cecelia knew Avery could never get over Cayden.

She might not appear like an assertive person, but once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.

“I know I can't stop you. Since you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it to the best of your ability then.”

Cecelia could only shake her head, continuing to play with Cal. “Our baby boy is so handsome. Perhaps, you can

marry Lyssa or Navya when you grow up?”

Cecelia's two precious daughters were already over two years old.

To simplify the naming process, Cecelia named them Lyssa and Navya. Both girls were exceptionally bright and

charming. However, one was lively in character, while the other tended to be quiet. Despite their identical

appearances, their personalities were completely opposite.

Averie responded, “Sure. I'm glad that Cal is taken at this age. I don't have to worry about him becoming an old

bachelor in the future.”

Cecelia chuckled and joined in the laughter. “I'm sure Cal will grow up to be a handsome man who will sweep

countless young girls off their feet. If a charming boy like him can't find a partner when he grows older, what

chance will ordinary-looking boys have?”

As the two people were chattering and laughing, the door to the CEO's office was opened once again.

Xavier walked in, holding a baby bottle.

Seeing Cecelia playing with Cal on the carpet did not surprise him. Instead, he handed her the milk bottle. “Tina just

prepared the milk and was about to bring it over when she ran into me. So, she asked me to bring it to Cal. Can you

feed the baby?”

Avery said, “I'm taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”

With a blank expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even glancing at Xavier. She began to patiently feed

the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I'll feed you some milk now, okay?”

With a blank expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even glancing at Xavier. She began to patiently feed

the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I'll feed you some milk now, okay?”

Looking at how they gave each other the cold shoulder, Avery could not help but feel utterly helpless.

They had a pair of twin daughters, yet Xavier's ex-wife stood between them. Her children were also almost killed

when they were born because of his son. That was why Cecelia resented him for it.

Even though two years have passed, she still could not bring herself to forgive him.

The atmosphere in the room was stifling.

Only the innocent and naive Cal, who knew nothing of the world, was happily gulping down his milk, quickly

emptying the bottle.

Avery glanced at her watch and realized it was already time to get off work.

She urged, “It's almost time to get off work. Cecelia, you should go pick up Lyssa and Navya. If you're late, I bet the

two kids will start making a fuss again.”

“All right.” After wiping the milk residue from Cal's mouth, Cecelia stood up. After bidding Avery farewell, she was

about to leave the office.

“I'll go with you to pick up the kids.” Xavier hurriedly followed and stopped her. “They must have missed me since I

haven't seen them for some time. You'll not stop me from visiting them, right?”

Cecelia bumped him aside with her shoulder, responding indifferently, “My children are mine alone. They don't have

a father. Get lost!”

She turned around and stormed away.

Xavier stood still, staring at her retreating figure, unable to snap back to reality for a long time, his expression filled

with sorrow.

Avery's gaze softened slightly when she saw the distraught look on Xavier's face. She then offered him words of

comfort. “Mr. Dartsley, try to spend more time with Lyssa and Navya whenever you have time. They are at an age

where they need their parents the most, especially their father's care. Once you've played your role as a father

well, the children will grow close to you, and once they become attached to you, no matter how heartless Cecelia

may be, I believe she won't stop you from approaching them.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Moore.” Xavier hummed in response, feeling somewhat enlightened.

After work, Avery, holding Cal in her arms, waited at the corporation's entrance for the driver to pick them up.

Earlier at noon, the driver had to make an unexpectedly long detour to drop off a client, so the car was running low

on fuel. He told Avery to wait for him because he had to go to a nearby station to fill up the gas.

At first, Avery wanted to wait for him in the company's lounge, but Cal, with his lively and active personality, refused

to stay in the room even for a moment.

She held her son and went to play by the flower bed on the side of the road.

Wilson, who was driving a silver luxury car, unexpectedly noticed Avery and her child on the side of the road as he

passed by the Trident Group's building.

Avery was dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, donning a plain white dress. She wore no makeup, presenting a

refreshingly clean and natural face.

The distinctive delicate features of her face made her look exceptionally attractive. She embodied the grace and

elegance that typically women from Jipsdale would exude.

Every move she made exuded a serene strength that could seemingly calm one's restless emotions.

Anyone who sneaked a glance at her would feel a sense of relief wash over them.

The child in her arms was also incredibly beautiful, as he had a pair of big, mischievous eyes that sparkled with

mischief.

Tapping the index finger of his left hand on the steering wheel, Wilson decided to pull up in front of them.

Wilson rolled down the car window, revealing his handsome face with a baffling smirk.

He stopped the car, got out, and greeted Avery warmly, “Ms. Rumpley, it's been a while.”

Avery turned around, and the moment she saw Wilson, she felt a strong urge to turn back and return to the office.

But out of courtesy, she had no choice but to respond, “Mr. Xenos. What a surprise.”

Back then, Wilson was fully aware that she was married and had children, yet he shamelessly pursued her for a

considerable length of time.

At that time, he pursued her relentlessly, almost driving her to the brink of collapse.

In the end, Avery had no choice but to gather her courage and seek help from Xander. She had no idea what

Xander did to warn Wilson, but from then on, the latter had stopped bothering her, allowing her life to gradually

return to tranquility.

Yet, now, he had the audacity to show up again at the entrance of Trident Group. Avery could not help but instantly

put her guard up. What on earth does he want?
