    Chapter 495 Intense Feelings


    ire''s razor-sharp eyes fell on Cayden, and she studied him carefully. She could not help but sigh.


    This young man is indeed outstanding.


    The other men were dressed in suits. Cayden, on the other hand, was wearing a white shirt with casual


    ck pants. Yet, his casual dress sense was unable to conceal his natural elegant temperament.


    He exuded a posh, yet aloof aura. In fact, he was so bewitching that one would be spellbound just


    looking at him.


    Cayden was truly a man who was capable of mesmerizing most women. His calm and cool exterior


    belied his powerful and domineering aura, causing others to be attracted to him.


    That, however, did not mean that he could lie to her daughter.


    Nicole was blinded by love at the moment. A response from Cayden meant the world to her.


    Unfortunately, ire did not see any hint of love for Nicole in Cayden''s eyes.


    "Mrs. Lambert," Cayden greeted the woman as he walked over. He was taken aback by the simr


    aura she had with Avery when he saw her.


    As he linked arms with Nicole, he stuffed his hand in his pocket, exuding an air of casual elegance


    instead of impoliteness.

    "Mr. Moore, please don''t mind me asking, but I wonder if you have tied up all loose ends with Ms.


    Rumpley on the day of your engagement banquet? Nickie is my one and only daughter. She''s still


    young and doesn''t understand certain things. But, as her mother, I have to be responsible for her life,"


    said ire with a friendly smile, but the cold look in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.


    It was as if she was testing him.


    Nicole tightened her grip on Cayden''s arm.


    Mom is an intelligent woman. She should be able to tell that I''m determined to be with Cayden from the


    way I brought him here to attend Grandma''s birthday banquet. What''s wrong with her today? Cayden


    has finally agreed to go out with me, and now Mom is making things difficult for us. What is she trying


    to do?


    "Mom, just let bygones be bygones. Why are you bringing it up? Since Cayden has decided to be with


    me, I''m sure he would settle everything. I love him, and he''s willing to be with me. That''s enough for


    me. Furthermore, no one can predict the future. Who knows what will happen?"


    Nicole then smiled at ire before nudging the man, saying coyly, "Cayden, quick, exin to my


    mom."


    Cayden kept his gaze lowered. As such, Nicole could not see his expression and did not know what he


    was thinking about.


    Biting the bullet, she urged, "Cayden..."


    Cayden remained silent and pursed his good-looking lips.


    The man''s silence was making Nicole anxious, for she desperately wanted his protection and


    assurance to prove to her mother that they would make things work. ire would definitely disapprove


    of their rtionship if Cayden ended up pissing her off.


    Naturally, ire could sense that something was amiss.


    This man isn''t even willing to put on a perfunctory act with my daughter. How can I entrust Nickie to


    him?


    She could not help but mock, "Mr. Moore, if you are sincere about dating Nickie, please prove it to me.


    If not "


    Before ire could finish her sentence, Cayden cut her off with his deep, maic voice. "Mrs.


    Lambert, no matter what I say, I doubt you will believe me."


    He put on a tender smile and in the process, revealed his pearly whites. His beaming face was a


    pleasant sight to behold.


    Following that, he lifted his perfectly-sculpted hand, caressing Nicole''s hair gently and affectionately


    Nicole was stunned beyond words when Cayden stroked her hair, and when she finally returned to her


    senses, she was thrilled and bashful at the same time. Her face turned crimson, and she could not help


    circling Cayden''s slim waist.


    Intense emotions surged in Cayden''s eyes.


    Suppressing his disgust, he controlled himself and did not push the woman away. Instead, he also put


    his arm around her slender waist.


    ire appeared upset, and her expression turned cold. However, she knew better than to get into an


    argument with Nicole in front of everyone, so she could only shake her head helplessly.


    She then returned to her group of wealthy friends while holding in her anger.


    As for Cayden, he continued following Nicole around in the banquet hall, socializing with different


    people patiently.


    He kept reminding himself to put up with everything for the time being. His n hade along so far,


    and he could not afford to let his efforts go to waste.


    Meanwhile, both ke and Alina were crying their eyes out in Avery''s room.


    The elderly man embraced the injured Avery as tears flowed continuously down his face. While he was


    sobbing, he cursed the person who had hit Avery. It was a heartbreaking scene.


    As for Alina, she felt guilty and sorry for Avery at the same time.


    If she had not informed Avery that ke was ill, Avery would not have rushed out of the house in a


    hurry.


    Avery took a tissue and wiped the tears off ke''s face. "Grandpa, given your age, you shouldn''t cry,


    you know? Your eyesight is already bad, and shedding tears will only worsen your condition. Look at


    me. I''m fine now."


    ke caressed Avery''s leg which was wearing a cast and said sadly, "Ery, you wouldn''t have gotten


    into a car ident if it weren''t for me. You''re still so young. Why do you have to go through such a


    tragic ident? I wish the ident happened to me instead. I don''t have much time left anyway-"


    Avery quickly cut him off, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me to feel


    guilty for the rest of my life? Please don''t say such things in the future. Okay?"


    "Okay. I understand," promised ke as he wiped his tears.


    Avery nced at ke''s dispirited demeanor before turning to Alina and asking worriedly, "Aunt Allie,


    what exactly is wrong with Grandpa''s health? I thought he was fine a couple of days ago. Why did he


    fall ill all of a sudden? Have you taken him to the doctor? Grandpa, are you feeling better now?"


    At the mention of his illness, ke sighed. "It''s nothing serious. Alina was making a fuss about nothing.


    The doctor told me that I have been wearing my shorts a little too high. In the future, I''ll wear my shorts


    lower."


    Avery was dumbstruck and turned to look at Alina in confusion.


    Will wearing shorts too high up cause an elderly man to fall ill? What''s going on?


    Alina looked at her niece''s dubious expression and chuckled. She then exined to Avery, "It has


    nothing to do with his shorts. A few days ago, I was busy working in the office, so I sent Father to the


    hospital first. The doctor exined his condition, but his memory isn''t good. When he told me what the


    doctor told him, I couldn''t understand what he meant by wearing his shorts too high. In the end, I went


    to the hospital to visit the doctor personally. Turns out his hearing isn''t good and misheard the doctor


    when the doctor told him that his cholesterol level is too high."


    Avery was rendered speechless.


    Grandpa is so funny!
