Chapter 521


    Chapter 521 Trouble Approaching


    It was rare for Avery to see Cayden looking embarrassed, so she could not help but tease him, “I


    always assumed you were a top student kind of person since you were little, but I didn''t expect...”


    Her gaze shifted to the “test paper” with a disastrous score in her hand.


    The two children also eyed their handsome father in unison, covering their mouths to hide their smiles.


    Indeed, they had never seen such a low test score.

    When they were in kindergarten, even their ssmates who performed poorly on their tests had


    double-digit scores. Scores in the single digits were very umon.


    “Zach and I both got perfect scores on our testsst week, Daddy! We have always received full marks


    on all of our tests!” Rory chewed a sweet gummy as she nced at her father smugly.


    “Daddy, I heard from Mommy that you have a doctorate from Horington University. Why are your


    grades so low? This essay, in particr, is nk...” Zachary pointed at Cayden''s old essay test paper


    and gave his father a meaningful look as he clicked his tongue.


    “That''s because you have never seen my actual aplishments. My grades were always the highest


    in the school throughout high school, university, and my doctorate. Nobody could ever beat me. It was


    especially so when I was studying for my doctorate. The projects and teams I led drew admiration from


    my doctoral supervisor.” Cayden snatched the test paper from his son''s grasp and told them about his


    academic achievements.


    He was a little annoyed. Why did I keep my old test papers? Why didn''t I get rid of them earlier?


    “Is that so?” The two adorable children stared at their father with their chins resting on their hands,


    disbelief written all over their little faces.


    Their reactions rendered Cayden speechless.


    Although the two children''s doubts left him dumbfounded, he stopped discussing these meaningless


    matters with them.


    With his age and the familial atmosphere, embarrassing himself in front of his children did not seem like


    a big deal anymore.


    “Look, Zach. Daddy''s face is red!” Rory said with a grin as she tugged at her older brother''s arm and


    pointed at Cayden''s slightly flushed handsome face.


    “You two got some nerve to make fun of your daddy.”


    Cayden picked his daughter up and lifted her high, scaring her so much that she squealed and cried


    out, “Wow, it''s so high. Mean daddy! I''ll stopughing at you. Put me down...”


    Avery felt warm and fuzzy inside as she watched the trio ying together.


    She enjoyed such a lively and happy atmosphere.


    However, the thought of Cayden''s uing engagement party the next day made her heart clench


    slightly.


    There''s going to be trouble tomorrow.


    ...


    The next day, at seven in the morning, warm sunlight slowly seeped in through the window onto the big


    bed.


    Avery opened her eyes to a sea of light green.


    The absence of the city''s noise and bustle created a quiet and rxing atmosphere, which made it


    extremely pleasant.


    She wanted to move, but Cayden''s strong arms around her waist pressed her body firmly against his


    chest, effectively immobilizing her.


    The naked couple still maintained their ambiguous positions beneath the thin quilt.


    His strong embrace made Avery recall the passionate moments from the night before.


    As her leg was mostly healed, Cayden, who had been deprived of sex for over two months, was finally


    given the all-clear the night before. Even though he had always had strong self-control, he ultimately


    could not restrain himself. Despite his gentle movements out of concern for the baby in her stomach,


    he exhausted her to the point where she begged for mercy...


    Avery awoke that morning with her body so sore and unbearable that it was as if she had been run


    over by a car, causing her to sigh inwardly. One cannot stop a man who has been deprived of sex for


    far too long!


    Even though he was sleeping soundly, Cayden''s slender, long legs carefully avoided her injured right


    leg, not daring to get too close to it. It demonstrated his tender care toward her.


    She carefully studied his serene countenance as he slept. He had an exceptionally handsome and


    gentle face, chiseled and dignified.


    He looked very charming when he was asleep. His long, curly eyshes dangled low like a small fan. It


    was undeniably his appealing feature.


    She gazed at him fondly and could not help but caress his features, thinking that her baby''s father was


    truly handsome.


    As for the man who was being caressed, he had always been a light sleeper and overly vignt, so he


    abruptly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Avery''s fair and lovely face.


    “Good morning.” Cayden softened his gaze and lifted his finger to caress her chapped lips while staring


    at them. “Are you thirsty? I''ll go get you a ss of water,” he offered, his gaze full of affection.


    With that said, he put on his pajamas, got up, and poured her a ss of warm water.


    Just as he was about to bring it to her, his phone rang.


    He did not answer the call immediately upon seeing the caller ID on the screen. Instead, he brought the


    water to Avery and patiently waited for her to finish drinking.


    He only went outside to take the call when her lips were not as dry as before.


    After getting off the phone, he came in and told her that he had to go out to settle something.


    Avery noticed Cayden''s solemn expression and assumed that the Lamberts were urging him to head


    over and to the banquet hall.


    Her expression darkened briefly, but she did not ask any questions and merely nodded


    understandingly.


    Cayden did not exin much to her as he was in a hurry. He simply freshened up, got dressed, and


    drove away.


    The housekeeper finished preparing breakfast at around nine in the morning.


    Avery went to the dining room with the twins to have breakfast before tutoring them in the living room.


    Just then, Cayden suddenly came back.


    “Cayden? W-Why are you back?” Avery looked at the man in front of her, a little dumbfounded.


    Today is the day of his engagement with Nicole. I wonder why he suddenly came back on such an


    important asion. Did something happen at the engagement party? Moreover, his attire is very


    casual and not at all fancy. He doesn''t look like he is about to get engaged at all. Could it be that


    something did ur at the engagement party?


    Avery made all kinds of spections.


    Even though she knew that the engagement between Cayden and Nicole was just a formality, she still


    had conflicting emotions.


    Hence, despite her surprise, she was undoubtedly happy to see him appear in front of her at that


    moment.


    Cayden merely hummed lightly before settling down on the couch with his legs crossed. His deep gaze


    scrutinized Avery from head to toe.


    Despite his elegance and dignified temperament, the aloof and distant demeanor he had set off rm


    bells in her mind.


    She felt that there was something strange about him that day.


    In the past, he was always smiling and acting warm and doting in front of me. He now has a different


    expression and appears cold. Although it''s the same face, he looks at me as if he doesn''t know me.


    Avery felt that his attitude toward her was suddenly too cold.
