Chapter 491 The Title
Wisteria hung out at the ward for some time.
However, the way Cayden pampered Avery made Wisteria find the air there to be suffocating.
In the end, she suppressed the jealousy and hatred in her heart and left.
When she was gone, Cecelia, Trevor, Nina, and the other colleagues came with gifts.
They greeted Cayden and asked Avery how she was feeling.
However, they could not rx because Cayden''s presence was too powerful.
Realizing his presence was making his subordinates feel awkward, he left the room on the pretext of
heading outside to smoke, giving Avery and her colleagues some privacy.
“How did you get into an ident all of a sudden? This looks serious.” Nina took Avery''s hand and
gazed at the thick cast around thetter''s leg, filled with worry.
“It was just an ident. I got hit by a car when I was crossing a crossroad. I''m fine now. Don''t worry.”
Avery watered down the horrifying ident, sparing them the details to not make them worry.
Cecelia was already six months pregnant with twins. Thus, her stomach was extremely big, and she
wobbled unsteadily when she walked.
Holding her waist, she said solemnly, “You have to be very careful when you''re crossing the road.
Times are different now. There are many cars out there. You could get into an ident if you don''t pay
attention even just for a little while. I''m going to be giving birth in three months, yet you''re admitted to
the hospital earlier than I am. Just exactly which blind idiot drove so carelessly?”
“Cecelia, please sit down and get some rest. You shouldn''t give your babies any stress,” said Avery
when she saw Cecelia''s huge belly. She was worried thetter would get tired from standing too long.
Indeed, Cecelia was exhausted from all the standing with her big belly. Hence, she took Avery''s advice
and sat down.
She did not rest even after sitting down. In fact, she began peeling an apple for Avery. “It''ll take at least
three months for your muscles and bones to recover. Basically, you won''t be able to move these days.
So, rest well, and let me handle your unfinished work.”
Trevor could not help but chuckle. “Cecelia, you''re such a workaholic. Why are you working so hard
when you''re pregnant? You should find yourself a good man and marry him. That way, you don''t have
to work so hard.”
Cecelia red at him. “Why do I need a man when I''m capable of earning money on my own? Most
men are unreliable. At first, they''ll listen to everything you say and say all kinds of sweet nothings.
Then, they''ll change in the blink of an eye. Once he finds a woman better than the current one, he''ll
abandon thetter without hesitance. He''ll treat the new woman the same as he treated his ex. Pfft. I''d
rather work hard and improve myself rather than pin my future on a man.”
Avery agreed with Cecelia''s words. “Cecelia''s right. That''s how life is. It won''t have mercy on us just
because we''re women. Only by being independent can we be capable and have a steady ie. We
work hard not to be rich, but to live a dignified and confident life.”
Smiling, Trevor pped for them and joked, “All right, all right. The capable beauties in ourpany
have rendered me speechless. Looks like I''ve got to work harder or I''ll be surpassed by women who
not only look good but also have the brains. It''s a pity for you, though, Avery. You''re so capable, and I
wanted to work with you on the renovation project. Now that you''re injured, I bet you''ll need to
recuperate for a long time.”
Caressing the cast on her right leg, Avery said, “Life is unpredictable, but it''s all right. I can still work
online even when I''m resting at home. We can get on a call anytime if any problem arises.”
Nina handed Avery the grapefruit she finished peeling and said, “You should focus on recuperating at
home. Are you nning to be like Cecelia, who intends to be an irondy?”
Before Avery could even respond, Cecelia clicked her tongue. “What''s so bad about being an iron
lady? I think Ery has the potential to be one. She''s smart and ambitious. Most importantly, she
has superb talent in design. I believe she''ll get promoted faster than all of us here.”
Avery chuckled, revealing her neat rows of teeth. “I just want to do my job well. I don''t have other ns
for now. Oh, I have good news for all of you today. I''m three months pregnant.”
The news stunned everyone.
Nina was the first to shriek. She grabbed Avery''s shoulder, her eyes filled with disbelief. “Avery, when
did this happen? Why didn''t you tell us? Boy, you are something. I can''t believe you kept this secret so
well!”
Cecelia put down the apple she was peeling and stared nkly at Avery''s belly. “Wow. This child is
lucky for being safe even after going through such a serious ident. He or she must be a luck bringer
in the future. Congrattions, Ery. It''s a great feeling to be a mom. Oh, looks like my baby will have a
ymate once yours is born.”
As a man, Trevor was not as sentimental as the other female colleagues. Still, he congratted Avery.
Although Avery was not officially married to Cayden, everyone knew she was practically his wife
already. All shecked was just the title.
While Jeffrey, Lily, and the twins were not around, Allie seized the opportunity to bring Nicole back to
the Moore residence and let thetter explore the mansion in the name of Cayden''s fiancée.
Allie acted like the matriarch of the family, bringing Nicole to every room. She even wanted to bring the
latter to Cayden''s room.
As she took out the electronic key and unlocked the door, Allie said, “This son of mine is a little
particr. He doesn''t let any woman enter his room. Since you''re going to be his girlfriend, I''ll let you
visit his room.”
Nicole lowered her head shyly.
She wanted to enter the room so badly, yet she said pretentiously, “Mdm. Allie, I don''t think it''s a good
idea to enter Cayden''s room just like that. Will he be mad if he finds out?”
Unperturbed, Allie said, “Why would he? I''m his biological mother. He listens to me.”
Hearing that, Nicole curled her lips into a mocking smile.

If Cayden actually listened to her, I would''ve bagged him already. What a pity...
Nicole could not wait to see Cayden''s room, feeling as if she would be able to touch him as soon as
she set foot in his room.
s, the door would not budge despite Allie''s efforts of trying to open it.
She stood there awkwardly, finally realizing Cayden had changed the lock without her knowing.
