Chapter 108


    Cayden had one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding his cigarette between his fingers.


    Instead of extending his hand out the window to flick the ashes away, he did so to beckon his son over.


    Zachary went to his father without a clue.


    “Do you think she''ll be your mother just because you want her to be?” questioned Cayden while


    staring intently at Zachary.


    At first, the boy did not understand what Cayden meant, so he scratched his head confusedly. When


    Zachary finally got it, he lowered his head and pouted disappointedly. “I guess that means she''s


    unwilling to be our mother.”


    Cayden furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Zachary walk away with downcast eyes. Then, he


    looked into the distance and parted his lips slightly to take a drag.


    With no child blocking its way any longer, the ck Land Rover moved forward.


    When Zachary reached the living room, he slumped miserably onto the couch and flung off his slippers.


    “What''s going on? Why the sad face?” Kendrick finally came out of hiding and obviously had no idea


    what had happened. Has the hard-to-pull-off n failed?


    “Ms. Ery''s not interested in being our mother at all,” replied Zachary in a heartbreaking tone before


    tears began to roll down his cheeks.


    The boy spoke as if he had been orphaned. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ording to his logic as an adult, Kendrick assumed that Avery was still mad at Cayden. They''re still


    giving each other the cold shoulders? If even the n can''t bring them back together, it means


    Cayden''s a horrible boyfriend or just a horrible man in general. Would it kill him to admit that he was


    wrong?


    “Crying isn''t going to help. If you want somebody to me, me your father. That man''s as cold as


    ice!” Kendrick did not have to work, so he always thought about how to kill his time. However, he did


    not have to do so that day because he had decided to help solve Cayden''s family problem.


    Zachary looked at Kendrick as if his uncle was his savior, making the man feel the weight of his


    responsibility.


    “Do you know where Avery lives?” Kendrick nned to drop Zachary off at Avery''s house because he


    did not think she would leave the boy outside.


    “Ms. Ery moved to a new ce, and I''ve never been there.”


    “That''s okay. I''m going to ask around, and when I find her, I''ll send you over. We can''t depend on your


    father, so it''s all on you now,” stated Kendrick before taking out his phone.


    Zachary gulped before informing, “Ms. Ery''s on a blind date.”


    Upon hearing that, Kendrick immediately stopped dialing. “What? Who told you that?”


    “Daddy did...”


    Suddenly, the two heard the sound of a car driving in, and they looked outside.


    Parked at the gate to the Moore residence was a ck Bentley RV, from which Xavier stepped out.


    The man walked inside and nodded at Kendrick before shifting his attention to Zachary. “Where would


    you like to go for fun today, Mr. Zachary? Just tell me, and I''ll get you there.”


    Kendrick thought for two seconds after hearing Xavier and gestured to his nephew.


    “Well... I want to...” Zachary deliberately spoke slowly so that he had enough time to guess what


    Kendrick was trying to tell him. “I want to visit Ms. Ery.”


    “About that...” Xavier seemed troubled because he was unsure how to respond to the boy.


    Before he arrived at the scene, Xavier had received a call from Cayden, who had ordered, “When


    you''re done with your work, head over to the Moore residence to pick up Rory and Zachary. Take them


    anywhere they want to go for fun.”


    Xavier knew the family well. The children grew up with neither their mother nor great-grandmother.


    Their grandmother was the only female rtive they had, but the woman cared more about her fashion


    events than her grandchildren. She would rather spend time with the other socialites than with Zachary


    and Rory. Boss is cold toward everyone, no matter if they''re family or not. Even though the man loves


    his children, he doesn''t know how to express it.


    Xavier only cast his work aside right after he got the order because he knew Cayden rarely


    compromised to care for the children.


    Even though Xavier believed it would be better for Cayden to spend time with the children instead of


    asking him to do it, he was d that his boss had finally taken the first step to bing a better father


    after five years. After all, it would be unreasonable for him to expect the unqualified father to improve


    so much in such a short time.


    Since Cayden had only ordered him to take the children out for fun but said nothing about visiting


    Avery, Xavier thought it would be okay to take them to the woman. After all, Avery was the only woman


    who caught Boss'' eyes after so many years.


    After some thought, Xavier responded cautiously, “Of course, you can go see Ms. Avery. But have you


    guys agreed on where to meet?”


    Zachary shook his head pitifully before looking at Kendrick with puppy-dog eyes to beg for help.


    Kendrick beckoned Xavier over so that he could whisper into the man''s ear. “You know how my brother


    is, right? He''s cold and difficult to get along with. Avery and Cayden recently had a fight, and my


    brother refused to apologize. That''s why they''re giving each other the silent treatment.”


    Xavier''s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Kendrick. Boss and Ms. Rumpley are giving each


    other the silent treatment? Mr. Kendrick sounded as if he''s met Ms. Rumpley before. So does that


    mean Boss has introduced her to the family already? Not only did she get the approval of the children


    but also the entire Moore family, huh? If Ms. Rumpley is giving Boss the cold shoulders, and he refuses


    to apologize, then I think I know what I have to do as his subordinate.


    “Got it.” Xavier nodded at Kendrick before shifting his attention back to Zachary. “It''d be my pleasure to


    send you to meet with Ms. Avery.”


    “But I don''t know where she is. She went on a blind date.” Zachary scratched his head troubledly again.


    When he heard that, Xavier waspletely stunned. Ms. Rumpley went on a blind date just because


    she and Boss are at odds with each other?


    However, he knew what to do to help the situation. After all, the man would not have be an


    assistant if he did not have problem-solving capabilities.


    Xavier called Cecelia, and as soon as the woman picked up, he questioned straightforwardly, “Where''s


    Avery Rumpley from your team right now?”


    “I don''t know because she took the day off,” replied Cecelia honestly. “What''s wrong?”


    Instead of answering that question, Xavier ordered, “Do whatever you can to find out where she is. I


    need her specific location. Call me when you have the information.” When the man finished his


    sentence, he hung up.


    Meanwhile, at a fancy restaurant, Brodie took a seat and asked the waiter to get him a menu.


    While Avery and the man were going through the menu, her phone suddenly rang. “Sorry, I need to


    take this.”


    “It''s fine. Go ahead.” Brodie was an easy-going person.


    Avery answered the phone call, and Cecelia voiced, “Where are you, Ery? We have an emergency


    here, so I need to know where you are right now. You don''t have toe to work; I just need your


    location so that I can ask someone to deliver a sh drive to you.”


    Avery did not think having someone deliver her a sh drive would disrupt her blind date, so she


    decided to tell Cecelia her location as requested.
