Chapter 34
Even though Avery hod reocted ot once ond turned oround to put her clothes on hostily, the mon hod
olreody seen her noked body.
“Why ore you olone?” Coyden osked in o deep voice, breoking the silence in the word.
Avery stood rooted to the spot, feeling owkword thot her lie hod been exposed.
“Whot I meont wos thot someone ising soon. For now, it''s just myself...”
Coyden could not help but notice how flustered she wos os she tried to exploin herself.
He sconned the room briefly before soying, “The police hove contocted me. How ore you feeling now?”
As Zeldo did not dore to let her fother know thot she hod been orrested, she hod given Coyden''s nome
to the police insteod. Thot wos the reoson why the police hod contocted him.
Avery wos stunned to heor thot.
With Coyden storing intently into her eyes, she replied, “Um... I''m feeling okoy...”
She did now know how to respond ond wos utterly emborrossed, knowing thot her mole superior wos
owore thot she hod been drugged with on ophrodisioc.
“Xovier hos opplied for o one-week leove on your beholf. Don''t worry obout work ond just rest well,”
Coyden soid.
“Thonk you. Thonk you so much, Mr. Dortsley...” Avery replied weokly, looking down.
Losing potience, Coyden wolked toword her stroight owoy.
Seeing thot, Avery took o step bockword subconsciously. As she did not dore to look him stroight in the
foce, she could only fix her goze on his woist.
When she reolized thot it wos on inoppropriote oreo to look ot, she lifted her heod owkwordly. However,
by doing thot, whot she sow next wos the distinct outline of the mon''s musculor figure wropped under
his well-fitted shirt.
Avery could feel her breoth quickening os she bocked up until she found herself ogoinst the woll.
However, Coyden strode forword, norrowing the gop between both of them. Being ot such o close
distonce to the mon wos on obsolute treot to Avery''s senses.
Pinning the womon ogoinst the woll, Coyden looked down ot her ond soid in on olluring voice, “Are you
scored of me?”
At such close proximity, Avery could smell o mixture of nicotine ond the mon''s noturol mosculine scent
coming from him.
Bewitched by Coyden''s chorm, she suddenly felt herself hoving difficulty breothing. Not knowing
whether her cheeks were flushing red, ond with her heort thumping wildly, Avery looked up ond soid,
“Yes. In foct, I''m rother terrified. I don''t think whot you''re doing now is very oppropriote. I—”
“Why did you lure me into your word if you''re so scored?” Before she could finish her sentence,
Coyden''s deep voice sounded. “It''s reolly difficult to tell when you meon whot you soy, you know?”
Even though Avery had reacted at once and turned around to put her clothes on hastily, the man had
already seen her naked body.
“Why are you alone?” Cayden asked in a deep voice, breaking the silence in the ward.
Avery stood rooted to the spot, feeling awkward that her lie had been exposed.
“What I meant was that someone ising soon. For now, it''s just myself...”
Cayden could not help but notice how flustered she was as she tried to exin herself.
He scanned the room briefly before saying, “The police have contacted me. How are you feeling now?”
As Zelda did not dare to let her father know that she had been arrested, she had given Cayden''s name
to the police instead. That was the reason why the police had contacted him.
Avery was stunned to hear that.
With Cayden staring intently into her eyes, she replied, “Um... I''m feeling okay...”
She did now know how to respond and was utterly embarrassed, knowing that her male superior was
aware that she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.
“Xavier has applied for a one-week leave on your behalf. Don''t worry about work and just rest well,”
Cayden said.

“Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Dartsley...” Avery replied weakly, looking down.
Losing patience, Cayden walked toward her straight away.
Seeing that, Avery took a step backward subconsciously. As she did not dare to look him straight in the
face, she could only fix her gaze on his waist.
When she realized that it was an inappropriate area to look at, she lifted her head awkwardly. However,
by doing that, what she saw next was the distinct outline of the man''s muscr figure wrapped under
his well-fitted shirt.
Avery could feel her breath quickening as she backed up until she found herself against the wall.
However, Cayden strode forward, narrowing the gap between both of them. Being at such a close
distance to the man was an absolute treat to Avery''s senses.
Pinning the woman against the wall, Cayden looked down at her and said in an alluring voice, “Are you
scared of me?”
At such close proximity, Avery could smell a mixture of nicotine and the man''s natural masculine scent
coming from him.
Bewitched by Cayden''s charm, she suddenly felt herself having difficulty breathing. Not knowing
whether her cheeks were flushing red, and with her heart thumping wildly, Avery looked up and said,
“Yes. In fact, I''m rather terrified. I don''t think what you''re doing now is very appropriate. I—”
“Why did you lure me into your ward if you''re so scared?” Before she could finish her sentence,
Cayden''s deep voice sounded. “It''s really difficult to tell when you mean what you say, you know?”
With an innocent expression on her face, Avery replied, “I didn''t. I—”
However, Cayden did not care to listen to her exnation at all as he continued speaking. “I did ask
you if there was anyone else in the ward, and you told me there was. I also said that if you were alone
in the ward, I wouldn''t meet you as it wouldn''t be appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone.”
Avery was at a loss for words. She did not know how to refute that.
While staring at the woman''s delicate features, Cayden suddenly lifted his hand and put a finger to her
lips. “You lied. You told me there were other people in the ward, and I felt that it was safe toe in
based on what you said. It''s clear to me that you were trying to trick me to enter your ward.”
Avery''s heart did a double somersault as she looked down at the man''s finger that was pressing on her
lips. “You''ve misunderstood...” she said, feeling flustered.
It was just an ident.
She had not expected that the distinguished Cayden Moore would visit her at the hospital.
However, the woman knew that any attempt to exin herself would seem like an excuse to the man.
She had indeed lied, and it was also a fact that she had exposed her naked body to Cayden. Although
it was all just a coincidence, it was natural for anyone to suspect that she was intentionally trying to
seduce the man.
Avery was aware that she was in the wrong, but she did not think that she was the only one at fault.
Back then in her apartment, Cayden had stopped her from leaving the kitchen, and she still
remembered the intimate interaction between the two of them vividly.
Moreover, if he did not have an ulterior motive, he would have apologized and left the ward immediately
when he saw that she was notpletely dressed.
However, that was not what he did.
Suddenly, there was just silence in the air. There was no noiseing from outside the ward as well.
As such, Avery''s racing heartbeat sounded exceptionally loud to her.
“Sorry, I think I need to rest...” Avery said, hinting to the man that it was time for him to leave. After
saying that, she tried to push him away.
However, not only did she fail to do that, but the next second, the man took one more step forward,
trapping her between his muscr body and the wall, leaving no gaps in between.
“What do you want?” Avery struggled, looking up at Cayden with watery eyes. “You''d better behave
yourself. I will call the police if you try anything funny!”
Cayden''s hot breathnded on the woman''s cheeks, which were already flushed red. “What do I want?
I want you. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Meeting the man''s eyes, Avery was shocked that he was so direct and did not even bother to conceal
his desires.
She was so terrified that she could barely breathe as a ripple of warmth surged through her body. Even
though they were both clothed, she could clearly feel the heat from Cayden''s body.
Avery tried to struggle her way out and inadvertently ground her body against the man.
There was a desperate plea in Avery''s eyes when she looked up at Cayden, and she was almost
bursting into tears.
Ignoring her pleading, Cayden, who had maintained his calm demeanor, nted a light kiss on the
woman''s lips. In fact, his actions were so gentle that Avery could feel her heart melting into a puddle.
“No! You can''t—” She shook her head in an attempt to clear her mind.
But the next moment, the man deepened his kiss, prying open her lips with his tongue, and started
exploring further into her mouth.
Avery savored the taste in her mouth, which was refreshing and domineering at the same time.
Suddenly, the woman recalled what Xavier had told her previously. He said that anyone who tried to
betray Cayden should get ready for their own funeral first.
Perhaps that applied to all men. They would expect their woman to remain loyal to them forever and
attend to their every sexual need. To them, women did not have the right to initiate a breakup.
On the other hand, men could choose to quit the rtionship whenever they pleased.
Without taking into ount their painful transaction five years ago, it was the first time Avery had such
close body contact with Cayden. Besides, during their act five years ago, there wasn''t even any kissing
involved.
Cayden gulped, and his eyes darkened before his kisses traveled from the woman''s lips to her neck,
moving progressively downward, his breath lingering on her soft skin.
Moaning softly, Avery could feel herself losing her ability to think as the man continued sucking on her
skin.
She attributed her indulgent behavior to the remaining aphrodisiac in her body.
After five minutes, the woman snapped out of her daze. Her eyes widened, and she bit Cayden''s lip at
once.
She was extremely fearful of the man.
The taste of blood gradually filled both their mouths.
Cayden broke the kiss and fixed his yearning gaze on Avery''s face, which was flushed red. “You might
get pregnant after sucking my blood,” he said in a hoarse voice.
When the woman heard that, her face became even redder.
