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 yourposure, 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 toe back tomorrow.”


    “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, ke 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 ke. “Grandpa, you


    should go and sleep now. You''reing with me to Ackleton tomorrow. Let''s stay together from now


    on.”


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


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


    Avery squatted down and removed ke''s shoes for him. Next, she prepared a basin of water to wash


    his feet. After wiping them dry, sheid the elderly man down.


    All the while, ke 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 afortable life.” Avery was not going


    to give in. Instead, she tucked ke 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 ss on the door made a sound whenever someone opened the door.

    “Zayne, why don''t you stay with me...” ke 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 yourfort.”


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


    With that, Cayden helped ke 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 ke would appear again and ask her to sleep in the


    house.


    Cayden opened the car door and ced 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 mncholic.


    She knew nothing good woulde 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.


    ke 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 ke 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 bnce, and her left hand identally pressed on the


    bulge in Cayden''s pants.


    Acting as though scalded, she quickly removed her hand.


    When Avery recalled thest time he pleasured her with his fingers at the hotel suite, she blushed


    furiously and ran back to the house.
