Chapter 286
In the meantime, Zachary and Rory sat on the soft couch in the living room of the Moore residence.
They did not y around happily like they used to do.
At that moment, the two children were looking very gloomy.
The expression on their faces was one usually worn by an adult. Somehow, it looked funny when it was
on the faces of the two young children.
Turning to Zachary, Rory said sullenly, “Zach, even though our house is much bigger than Ms. Ery''s
house, I don''t even feel happy. I still want to stay with Ms. Ery.”
After considering the unique rtionship she had with Cayden, Avery informed the two children in
advance that they were only allowed to call her “Mommy” in private. However, when they were in
public, they had to call her “Ms. Ery.”
The two children did not understand it. The only thing that they knew was that Avery was their mother.
Though they could not find the reason for her insistence to be called “Ms. Ery” in public, they listened to
her nheless. It was an instruction that they firmly bore in mind.
Zachary sat on the couch and took a deep breath like a young adult. Then, he shrugged helplessly and
said, “I want to live with Ms. Ery as well. But the problem is, Daddy is too stupid. He can''t even win her
heart yet. If they get married, we can stay with her every day.”
Upon hearing his words, Rory widened her eyes in delight. “Is that true? Zach, if that is the case, let''s
help Daddy to win her heart.”
Zachary said, “But we need to think of a n. Well, we can ask Uncle Kendrick. He always has all sorts
of women with him. Everyone says that he''s a womanizer, so he must be experienced in pursuing a
woman.”
Rory then asked, “Zach, what is a womanizer?”
Zachary thought about it for a while. He was slightly frustrated with finding the right words to exin it
to Rory. Therefore, he said casually, “Womanizers are men who like to catch butterflies. You know that
Uncle Kendrick likes to wear floral shirts. That kind of man really likes to attract butterflies.”
Meanwhile, Rory nodded as it dawned on her. “I got it. So that''s the meaning of a womanizer. Zach, I
like butterflies very much. You need to wear floral shirts like Uncle Kendrick too. I''m sure that you can
attract many butterflies. You have to be a womanizer in the future.”
Zachary was rendered speechless.
As Rory looked at him with anticipation, he suddenly realized that it was pointless to exin the term to
a naivete like Rory. The helplessness that he felt made him hold his head in exasperation.
On the other hand, a housekeeper, who was picking up the toys next to them, could not stop herself
from snorting inughter as she heard their innocent conversation.
“Lillemor, why are youughing? Did I say something wrong?” The young girl looked at her with bright
eyes.
On the other hand, Zachary turned to gaze at the housekeeper with a stern expression. He looked
exactly like a miniature Cayden. Thus, even though he was still young, he had a steely gaze. It caused
a chill to run down the housekeeper''s spine.
“It''s nothing. Ms. Rory, Mr. Zachary, what fruit do you want to eat tonight? I''ll prepare them for you.” She
quickly changed the topic.
In her babyish voice, Rory said, “I don''t want to eat anything. I just want Ms. Ery.”
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and welled up with tears. Zachary held Rory''s hand tightly and did
not know how tofort her. As a matter of fact, he shared the same thought as her. He also wanted
to stay with Avery every day.
The housekeeper was at a loss for words.
Avery''s presence in the Moore family was like a thorn in the flesh. After all, she was in a very awkward
position. Allie hated her very much, and even Jeffrey, who once approved of Avery, resented her now.
In the meantime, Lily only gloated over her predicament.
The only people who can ept her are Mr. Cayden and the two young children.
At that moment, Jeffrey walked down the staircase with the help of a walking stick.
When he saw the two children looking very gloomy, he was puzzled and asked, “What''s the matter?”
“Great-grandpa...” Zachary and Rory ran toward him. Both of them hugged each of his legs.

Even though Jeffrey was getting old, he was still revered in the Moore family.
As he was someone who had been holding enormous power for his entire life, he had an imperious
aura surrounding him. It was the reason why even Lily and Allie would not dare to do anything when his
steely gaze was fixed on them.
Other than Cayden, everyone in the Moore family was afraid of him.
Nevertheless, an old man like him adored his two great-grandchildren very much.
After all, the two children shared Cayden''s bloodline, especially Zachary, who was very much like him.
Even Zachary''s personality was very simr to his father''s. He had been a smart kid since he was
young. Rory, on the other hand, was very sweet and beautiful. Even though she was slightly timid, she
was good at coaxing other people and buttering them up.
Furthermore, the two children were obedient and always made himugh. It was not a surprise that he
liked them very much.
The moment he saw their sullen expressions, Jeffrey quickly asked them, “Tell me, my dear great-
grandchildren. Did anyone bully you?”
Zachary looked up at Jeffrey with much anticipation and begged, “Great-grandpa, I miss Ms. Ery. Can
you allow her to stay in our house?”
Meanwhile, Rory hugged Jeffrey''s leg and acted coquettishly. “Great-grandpa, Ms. Ery is an excellent
cook. If you don''t believe me, you can ask her to cook for you when shees over to our house.”
Jeffrey''s expression changed instantaneously. “Both of you need to stay clear of Avery in the future. It''s
impossible for her to be with your father. Later on, you will have a new mother. Do you understand?”
As an elderly man, he was stubborn and conservative. Thus, someone like him regarded good status
and reputation very highly.
Avery was the daughter-inw of the Musk family. Meanwhile, the Moore family was closely connected
to them. Putting aside the fact that she was still not divorced from Dn, he would not let a divorcee be
part of the Moore family even after she had gotten her divorce.
Cayden was the grandson he had always been proud of. Therefore, he did not want Cayden to be
censured behind the back.
If Avery and Dn''s marriage was not known to the public, he might be able to ept her, albeit
reluctantly.
Jeffrey would always have a grim expression when he was angry. On top of that, he had mentioned to
the young children that they were going to have a new mother. Unable to ept it, Rory cried loudly.
As she did so, she insisted that she did not want another woman to be her mother. Then, she
jumped off the couch and ran upstairs.
Zachary nced at Jeffrey.
For the first time ever, the small young boy looked at Jeffrey with a hint of resentment. Then, the former
quickly ran to find Rory.
While Jeffrey was looking at their retreating backs, his hand holding the walking stick trembled slightly.
Then, he gave a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile, the night had set in. Even though it was raining outside and the weather was very cold, the
atmosphere inside a club in the city was still very lively.
Inside a premium VIP room, Aaron did everything that he wanted with Nina like she was just a toy to
him. At that moment, she was nearlypletely naked.
He chose to ignore the hatred in her eyes.
By then, Nina''s tears had already dried up. However, she still held her guard up like a ferocious
hedgehog. Aaron, you scum! If you fall into my hands in the future, I swear that I will make you pay
tenfold for all the humiliations that I have received today!
