Chapter 238


    As the ck Bentley gradually pulled away from the hospital''s entrance, Avery felt better when she


    looked at the adorably innocent children.


    On the other hand, Cayden''s gaze was not on the kids but was intensely fixated on Avery''s face, and


    she was unaware of it.


    The two children were practically glued to their mother while they chattered as if there were endless


    topics that needed to be shared with their mother.

    Cayden suddenly wondered whether he was less important than the children.


    At that thought, the man became extremely jealous.


    Rory pursed her lips as she muttered, “During New Year''s Day, when I was three, our grandaunt


    brought her two granddaughters over. They were around my age and had braided hair that looked


    pretty. They told me their mommy braided their hair for them and asked why I didn''t have a mommy. I-I


    was so frustrated that I cried.”


    Taking in Rory''s aggrieved expression, Avery couldn''t help pulling the little girl into her embrace. She


    lowered her head and nted a kiss on her daughter''s forehead. “I''ll braid your hair every day from


    now on.”


    “Okay, Mommy.” Being in Avery''s embrace came as afort to Rory.


    Before Rory could enjoy the warmth to the fullest with her eyes shut in her mother''s embrace, she felt


    the air around her abruptly bing cold. It was an eerie and unnerving feeling.


    It was then Zachary''s turn to whine, “Back when Great-grandpa allowed me to y ser with some


    friends, the other kids would have their mommies bring them water whenever they were thirsty. Their


    mommies would wipe their sweat for them too. I was the only one who had to use my sleeves to wipe


    my sweat, and I was even scolded when I got home.”


    In truth, the child wanted to mention he was scolded by his father, but since the man was right inside


    the car with them, Zachary did not dare say that.


    Nheless, despite not saying who scolded him out loud, Zachary had conveyed his message clearly.


    The one who scolded him could not be Jeffrey, as the old man coddled the two children.


    As for the housekeepers, they would never dare to scold the little prince.


    That meant that the only person who could have scolded the child was his failure of a hard-hearted


    father.


    Avery kept her head lowered, and though she did not immediately shoot a disapproving re at


    Cayden, her impression of him worsened deep down.


    The said father who was being ignored while listening to the children''s pitifulints merely huffed.


    He then stered a stern look on his face before ncing at the children. “You two, aren''t you talking a


    bit too much?”


    The two children turned to look at their father and were about to apologize with a pout when Rory heard


    the woman holding her say, “Can you stop treating them like this?”


    That rebuke seemed to have been buried in her mind for a long time, and she finally expressed it


    aloud.


    Cayden, who was suddenly criticized for no reason, became visibly upset. Even though he was


    frustrated internally, he did not say anything in the end.


    Witnessing such an exchange, the children seemed to have noticed some changes.


    In the past, Daddy was the big boss, and everyone had to listen to him. Now, he seems to have


    stepped down from his throne and has be the little boss...


    Meanwhile, Nicole met up with Dn.


    Because of the fuss from before, Mna did not dare to follow Nicole when the former heard Dn was


    going to be there. Instead, she sat in the car and waited for Nicole.


    Nicole did not bring along her other two assistants and only brought Mna.


    When it came to a celebrity''s personal travels, whichever assistant they brought meant that that


    assistant had the celebrity''s absolute trust that nothing about their personal life would be leaked.


    However, Mna did not think that was the case. She felt that Nicole chose to bring her along instead of


    the others because it would be easier for Nicole to bully her when they were alone.


    Nicole acts all educated and elegant in front of outsiders, so that must be the case!


    In the restaurant, Dn was cutting up his steak with his fork and knife when he asked, “You want to


    get acquainted with Cayden? Am I hearing you wrong? That''s pretty unexpected and sudden.”


    The adults of distinguished families appeared refined on the surface, but that was not necessarily true


    behind closed doors. It was rtivelymon for them to drink too much and hook up with whoever


    they fancied at gatherings.


    Regardless, they would always maintain their good public image.


    That was why prudent and well-known people who cared about appearances, such as Nicole, would


    aim for marriage if they were to pursue someone. She would not lose anything if she were to marry


    someone as young and promising as Cayden.


    In all honesty, Dn was willing to make it happen.


    There was just one question that stumped him, and he voiced it out loud, “What''s so great about


    Cayden anyway? Everyone wants to be with him.”


    Cayden nevercked pursuers from all genders, but only a few of them actually took action.


    For starters, Cayden was a living, breathing person, not a puppet—no one could control him.


    If he did not like someone, he would see that person as nothing but garbage no matter how hard the


    person tried to butter him up.


    Secondly, even if one wanted to pursue him, most people did not have the chance toe into contact


    with him.


    Moreover, lots of self-confidence was needed before contact could even be made.


    For example, Nicole''s self-confidence came from her looks, and she had her family background to


    thank for her status. In the whole of Ackleton, how many girls had William as their father?


    Nicole was the only one.


    Sitting opposite the man, Nicole thought about how she should answer him. After a moment of


    contemtion, she longingly said, “Well, there''s a quote from a song that goes ''Though a person''s


    good qualities are hard to describe, the person is still one of a kind.’”


    Clutching the cutleries in his hands while disgusted by Nicole''s cheesy statement, Dn bobbed his


    head. “I see. He really has you smitten. Keep that up. If you can''t get him, I''ll be sure to look down on


    you.”


    Nicole appeared poised on the outside, but she was undoubtedly a scheming individual. Dn could


    tell that was a fact just from looking at her.


    When she was only ten years old, she was able to stand out among a number of orphans and was


    brought home by ire and William. Dn was adamant that the girl must have schemed her way to


    her current position.


    Reality had proven that she had done well during her years in the Lambert family. She had gained


    everyone''s favor, studied hard, mastered different skills, and did everything she could before finally


    bing a big celebrity. At the moment, in order to reach the pinnacle of her life, she was now aiming


    to obtain the capable and youthful Cayden.


    No ordinary woman could have done all that if she weren''t a cunning person.


    “I can''t really help you with that, but I can tell you what he likes and hates since I''ve known him since I


    was little.”


    Dn then spoke at length about everything he knew.


    In spite of saying he could not really help her, Dn was determined to give Nicole his full support.


    If Nicole is able to get with Cayden, then Avery will be an abandoned woman! She will be a


    woman who is abandoned by Cayden Moore! By then, I will definitely ept her.
