Chapter 459
The caller threatened Avery and hung up the phone before Avery could utter a word in response.
Avery was baffled. Right when she was about to continue making her soup, she suddenly remembered
the unknown woman she had bumped into at Sugary Confectionary. That woman gave me a disk and
told me it contained something that could destroy Cayden. She was even threatening me to leave him.
I totally forgot about it after I came home and put my bag aside. How forgetful of me! What could be in
there? How is that woman so sure whatever is in there can threaten me?
With that in mind, Avery turned down the heat on the stove and let the soup in the casserole simmer on
low heat before she went to look for her bag. Upon finding the disk, she yed the video.
Soon, the footage started ying.
When Avery saw what was on the disk, her expression froze. She felt as though she had just fallen into
an icy abyss, and she couldn''t stop trembling.
Late that night, the twins had gone to sleep, and Avery was standing before the window on her own in
her white silk pajamas. In a daze, she stared nkly at the moon with a grim expression on her face.
Just then, Cayden entered the room and saw Avery''s slender back.
The moon from outside the window cast a white ray of light over her body, making her seem lonely and
pitiful.
Cayden took off his coat, silently walked up to her, and hugged her from behind.
With his chin resting on her shoulder, he asked, “It''s a cold night. Why aren''t you waiting for me in
bed?”
Avery buried her head in his chest and hugged his waist so tight that it was as if she was afraid of
losing him. “Cayden, we''re getting engaged the day after tomorrow. I''m worried that it''s not going to go
as we nned.”
Cayden wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her in. “Why would you worry about
that? Our families have already agreed to the marriage. No one is stopping us now. All you need to do
is to be a bride on that day. Leave the rest to me, okay?”
Cayden''s body was muscr, so when he hugged Avery, her body seemed frail and delicate.
The rays of moonlight were reflecting off the side of Avery''s face, covering her in a halo.
Cayden panicked slightly when he noticed Avery''s strange behavior.
He then frowned and stared into her eyes to ask, “Are you regretting it? Don''t you want to go through
with the engagement?”
Avery shook her head desperately.
While holding back her tears, she grabbed his hand and kissed his slim fingers. “No one wants to marry
you more than I do. I''ve waited for this moment for a long time. Do you know that you''re a gift from
heaven? I don''t think anything is going to make me happier than to be able to marry you, be your wife,
give you children, and cook for you. I really want to marry you and grow old with you. I never want to
leave you...”
Avery lowered her head, and her long and silky hair fell on her chest.
Cayden couldn''t help but feel his desire surge from within him when he saw her thick eyshes flutter
alluringly.
Ever since Avery got pregnant, he had avoided physical intimacy with her because he was afraid of
hurting her.
Nevertheless, Cayden still proceeded to carry Avery back to their bedroom. While carefully avoiding
her tummy, he pinned her down on the bed.
Upon seeing the surprised look in Avery''s eyes, Cayden uttered in his deep and hoarse voice, “Babe, if
you y with fire, you''ll get burned!”
Avery froze when she noticed Cayden''s desire-filled gaze.
She immediately shielded herself with her arms and stammered, “I-It hasn''t been three months... We
can''t...”
She was speaking softly, weakly, and shyly. It was as though she were a frail kitten.
Hearing that, Cayden shed a smile and lifted her delicate chin to kiss her cheek.
In an affectionate and maic tone, Cayden said, “Silly, I know you can''t have sex now. No matter
how hard it is for me to resist the urge, I''m still going to refrain from touching you. I love you. You know
that, right?”
Hearing those words, Avery lowered her gaze to show her long, dark, and slightly wet eyshes.

Wrapping her arms around him, she muttered, “You''re so nice to me. I can''t bear to do it... I can''t...”
Avery''s words were said as much to herself as it was to Cayden.
Cayden thought Avery was merely being slightly emotional from the hormones during pregnancy
affecting her.
After all, she had be more sentimental ever since she got pregnant. Therefore, he disregarded
her odd behavior.
He then parted her lips and kissed her passionately.
Cayden''s hug was warm and delightful. As they were being intimate, Cayden whispered into Avery''s
ear, “If you really can''t bear it, then stay by my side for the rest of your life, Avery. Not only are you my
savior, but you''re also my one and only. I love you dearly, Avery. Let''s be together forever.”
Avery craved his warmth and his gentleness. While hugging him tightly, she felt safe. Cayden says he
loves me. In truth, I love him even more. However, I know we can''t be together. Although I''m happy
now, I know I might have to go through a painful separationter. Still, I shouldn''t overthink. Even if this
is myst few seconds with him, I''m still going to cherish whatever time I have left with him.
The next day, Cayden brought Avery to the most luxurious bridal store in Ackleton to try on the wedding
gowns. He had even told his assistant to inform the store manager beforehand.
Since the store manager knew they were dealing with the famous and wealthy Cayden Moore, he
instructed his well-dressed staff to form two lines outside the store to wee Cayden.
“Mr. Moore is here!”
As soon as the manager finished his sentence, Cayden''s Lamborghini was seen slowlying to a
halt in front of the bridal store.
The attentive doorman then approached the car and opened the door for them. In the next second,
Cayden got out of the car elegantly before walking over to the passenger seat to help Avery out.
