Chapter 210
The atmosphere was quite chaotic, presumably because the owner of thepany was present.
Having noticed that the surrounding employees of Trident Group kept looking her way, Nicole was
worried that she would be recognized among the crowd if she lingered for too long. Disregarding the
environment she was in, Nicole promptly turned around to leave.
When Nicole returned to Dn''s Porsche Cayenne, she frowned slightly.
Mna and Nicole were not well acquainted. To top it off, Nicole was a top celebrity, whereas Mna did
not have the prestige to match. This was why Mna always kept her distance from the woman. She
was unsure of how to approach Nicole.
On the other hand, Nicole rarely thought of Mna, considering thetter to be nothing but air.
As for Cayden, Nicole had already heard about him from the start.
As one of the most famous socialites in Ackleton, coupled with her stardom, Nicole effectively held a
high-profile status that was the envy of many women.
All her close friends used to quiz her about what kind of man she would eventually marry.
Nicole admitted that she did have a suitable candidate in mind, but of course, nobody could truly
predict the future.
That being said, if she had a goal in mind, she would undoubtedly strive hard to reach it, on the
condition that her goal was worth all her efforts.
Nicole''s father, William, was also of high status, so it was only natural that he had high standards for
the man Nicole was to marry. Although her father''s preferred suitors were his favored subordinates,
who had only one path to follow—bing government officials, she did not see any downsides to it.
In fact, the better he performed at work, the better her reputation as his wife.
However, Nicole''s foray into the entertainment industry resulted in a change in her mindset.
Men who could make waves in the field of business were far more attractive to Nicole than her father''s
favored subordinates.
After all, Nicole was very much an ordinary woman who was attracted to mature, charismatic men. She
liked to imagine what their sexy, chiseled bodies looked like under their suits and gaze into their deep,
unfathomable eyes, trying to pick apart whaty in their hearts.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
For this reason, Cayden Moore was the perfect candidate who ticked all the boxes Nicole had.
The social circle in Ackleton was not very big. Any man who proved to be outstanding would be the talk
of all single women during their gossip-filled meetings.
It wasn''t that nobody suggested introducing Nicole to Cayden, but sheter found out that he had two
children.
While the outside world had no idea about that, rumors had been circting within the social circles to
an extent. That being said, it was not a rare thing among the rich and powerful for young men to
already have children with other women.
I''m still young, though. Cayden might be my dream guy, but I''m certainly not going to be the stepmother
to another woman''s children. It''s not just one child but two of them!
Just thinking about this made Nicole quite ufortable.
However, Nicole also admitted that it didn''t take more than ten minutes for her to be attracted to
Cayden''s charm after seeing him in person today.
Subconsciously, images of Cayden''s stalwart and tall figure flooded her mind before her thoughts
lingered on the calmness in his gaze.
If Cayden shared a drink with his cousin''s wife and sipped at the same spot where her lipstick had
touched, what could it mean? It''s definitely an indirect kiss, and he did this in front of her husband,
Dn.
Nicole did not think that Cayden had done that unintentionally.
Aftering to town, Nicole felt that she had gained a lot, but something was missing from her heart at
the same time.
She was well aware of what the missing piece was.
On the way back to the city, Dn smoked quite heavily. Even his brows were knitted in a perpetual
frown. Nicole sat in the backseat on their way there, but on the trip back, she requested to sit in the
passenger seat to keep an eye on Dn''s reaction.
As she took note of Dn''s dark expression, Nicole began to specte about the rtionship the
cousins had with Avery.
When they reached Ackleton, Nicole returned home and went into her room listlessly. After a shower,
she put on her pajamas and flicked through the script for her shoot the next day.
As she went through her lines, her mind unwittingly drifted toward thoughts of Cayden''s stern yet
handsome features.
Putting down the script, Nicole took a few deep breaths before gradually calming down.
Meanwhile, Mna followed Dn back to the room above the bar.
This particr street only came alive at night, especially around midnight. However, it was so quiet at
that moment that one could easily hear the birds chirping on the nearby trees.
Dn opened the window to let in some air. He then turned around to unbutton his shirt before
unceremoniously pinning Mna onto the bed.
Mna gasped in surprise, only to notice a slight chill on her thighs.
It turned out that her pants had been removed.
With her milky-white leg exposed under the moonlight, the autumn breeze blew on her skin, making her
shudder slightly from the cold. The thin white curtains fluttered in the wind and grazed her skin gently,
brushing over her cheeks, lips, and face.
“Oh! The door! It''s not closed...” moaned Mna, pretending to be shy.
Mna was quite an experienced lover, knowing what made men tick.
A sensual atmosphere was concocted from abination of her gestures, tone of voice, and slender
body.
However, when Dn was about to pounce on her, he realized that he was not responding to her
ministrations. D*mn it. Why am I not responding?
Mna did her best to woo him while pulling out all the stops. However, she was unable to get a
response from him.
While she tried her best to seduce Dn and stole nces at his expression, she realized that she
might not have been attractive enough.
Or perhaps he had already had his fill?
On the news, it was revealed that Nicole and Dn were together the night before.
Mna knew that while she needed to stick around Nicole, her main target was Dn instead. After all,
her fate depended on whether Dn reached an emotional turning point.
Hence, his satisfaction was the most important thing.
Mna had no reservations about self-respect. After all, she was used to doing this. Right then, she
stood up seductively to kneel before Dn and clutched his hand, murmuring, “Let me... I''ll help you...”
After a long day''s work in town, it was almost dusk.
Avery seemed very preupied with something. While she had no intention of getting involved in the
dispute, trouble always ended uping back to her instead.
This made her realize a simple truth—one could not escape fate.
The very notion of deciding one''s own fate was something people said to make themselves feel better.
Meanwhile, two children filed into a ck Bentley and sat down. A man shut the door before turning
around to look at Avery, who currently had her nose in a notebook. “The kids want to watch a children''s
movie at eight. Would you like toe along?”
Avery did have the urge to go, but something was holding her back.
“Get inside.” Cayden reached out to hold Avery''s hand.
When Cayden''s hand was about to touch hers, Avery recoiled in fear. She looked around and
pretended to be distant in view of her colleagues before replying, “I''ll pass. There will be other
opportunities for me to join them. Do keep thempany.”
Avery was quite sad at not being able to express her maternal love for her children.
“What are you worried about?” Cayden threw his suit jacket into the car window and strode over,
tugging his tie loose. He then gave her a condescending look and asked, “Are you worried that you''ll be
photographed with me and end up in the news?”
