Chapter 591 All The Affection
Cayden intentionally asked Avery to wait for him at the CEO''s office after work so they could leave
together once he was ready.
As such, Avery waited next to the CEO''s exclusive elevator to get to his office.
Evangeline, Nina, Cecelia, and the rest of their colleagues took themon elevator.
Evangeline observed Avery as she pressed the button that took her to the restricted floors and went
into the elevator alone.
The words “CEO exclusive” in gold on the topmost floor of the elevator were so dazzling and stood out
starkly.
Although Block A of themercial building was huge and equipped with high-speed elevators on
every level operating concurrently, it was still slightly crowded due to arge number of employees.
Evangeline couldn''t help admiring Avery for being the only one who could use the CEO''s exclusive
elevator freely.
She tugged on Nina''s sleeve and whispered, “Nina, I saw Avery using the CEO''s exclusive elevator. I
wonder what is her rtionship with our CEO?”
She was merely seeking confirmation for what she already knew.
“Avery is—” Nina was about to speak when she was cut-off by Cecelia.
Despite looking friendly, Cecelia had a calcting look as she assessed Evangeline. “Everyone in the
company knows that Avery is the CEO''s wife. That is why she has the right to use the CEO''s exclusive
elevator. She and our CEO are in a very healthy rtionship where they already have three children.”
“I see. That exins it.” Evangeline pretended to be surprised upon hearing such information for the
first time to conceal her disappointment.
Cecelia cast Evangeline another nce at the odd look on her face, who smiled back awkwardly and
retreated into a corner to minimize her presence.
Evangeline sensed how sharp Cecelia''s eyes were. It was as if she were a detector capable of
divulging her secrets.
Just then, the elevator had reached their floor.
Evangeline hurriedly urged her two colleagues on, “Let''s go. The elevator''s here.”
She politely gave way to the pregnant Cecelia and Nina before getting on herself.
Nina had a pretty positive impression of her new colleague as she had a sweet smile and was polite
and graceful.
However, Cecelia looked down and avoided her stare. Based on her experiences interacting with
people of various personalities, Cecelia had a sixth sense that Evangeline''s quietness belied a
scheming interior.
Perhaps she might have been overthinking.
By the time Cayden was done with his work in his office, he caught sight of Avery''s slender figure that
had already fallen asleep on the couch.
Her long hair concealed half of her face, and her curledshes twitched sporadically during her
slumber, entrancing him.
Cayden stood up from his office chair and went over to carry Avery from the couch. His face was ridden
with guilt and heartache.
He barely spent time with Avery as he was too busy with work. Since he knew that women tended to
be more sensitive during pregnancy, he let her apany him to work as he worried her
imagination would run wild if she were left alone at home.
Doubt had taken root within him about whether it was the right decision after all.
The sky waspletely dark by the time Avery awakened.
She was greeted by the side of a familiar bedroom illuminated by the cozy light of a floormp.
She rubbed her mildly sore temples and wondered how she''d managed to get home from her office.
The innocentughter of children ying sounded vaguely from the direction of the living room.
Avery made her way downstairs.
The housekeeper was preparing dinner while the twins were ying with a remote control toy ne,
and Cayden was reading the newspaper''s business section on the couch.
“Good evening, Mommy,” the two children greeted Avery at her appearance before quickly resuming
their study of the toy ne.
Cayden put down his newspaper. “You''re awake. Did you have a good rest? Dinner''s almost ready.”
Avery took her ce beside Cayden and said apologetically, “Although I did mention waiting for you to
finish work, I fell asleep in the end. I have no clue why I was so sleepy... “
Cayden rested his hand on her stomach, his chiseled face alight with mirth. “It''s not your fault. Perhaps
our third child is azy bum. That''s why you are affected too.”
Avery grinned. “The baby wouldn''t be pleased to hear you say this.”
She immediately felt a kick in her stomach the moment she finished speaking. It was as if the infant
could hear what she''d said.
Cayden could sense the baby''s “fury” despite being separated by ayer of skin.
“What a vengeful little fellow,” Cayden dered firmly.
“What does the baby know? He''s still so tiny.” Avery chuckled as she rubbed her belly and murmured
words offort to the baby before it stopped kicking.
Dinner was served soon enough. The four-course meal with soup on the side was simple and
nutritious. They were all Avery''s favorite dishes.
Rory sat between Cayden and Avery whilst they were taking their meal.
She blinked her limpid eyes after taking several mouthfuls of pasta and giggled. “Mommy, I got first
ce in the city-level artpetition. Can you apany me and Zachary to school as there''ll be a
prize-giving ceremony for the winners?”
“Did I hear it right? You got first ce?” Avery eximed. She ced her cutlery on the table and
affectionately squeezed Rory''s cheeks proudly. “What a wonderful daughter I''ve got. Of course, I''ll go
with you tomorrow.”
Rory offered Avery a spoonful of her favorite dish. “Thank you, Mommy.”
“Well done, Rory. Keep up the good work.” Cayden fondled Rory''s head dotingly.
Zachary, on the other hand, continued eating his meal daintily and was the mirror opposite to his
sister''s excitement.
He had been the recipient of many awards from the time he was in kindergarten and it was nothing
special to him.
He didn''t deign to announce that he''d won a prize this round.

there.
This was because the results of the DNA test had been released, proving that Evangeline was indeed
