Chapter 678 What Exactly Does He Want
Avery said, “I''m taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”
Cecelia was so startled that she nearly dropped Cal from her thighs.
She quickly grabbed the little boy, her gaze meeting Avery''s directly. “Come on. Cal is only two years
old. Do you think he''s suitable to go on a long-distance trip? Furthermore, if Cayden is still alive, with
his intelligence and wisdom, he should have returned by now since two years have already passed.
Avery, I hate to say this, even if you don''t want to ept the reality—Cayden is gone. Moreover, the
fact that Cayden was attacked in Mocset indicates that he has enemies there. It''ll be a dangerous ce
for you to be there! You''ll risk exposing yourselves and Cal to the enemy if you insist on going there.
Even if you don''t consider your own safety, you should at least think about your little boy, right? After
all, he''s still so young.”
“No. I know Cayden is still alive. I can feel it in my bones.” Avery refused to ept Cecelia''s advice,
even though what she said made sense. I will not believe Cayden is gone until I see his body with my
own eyes.
Moreover, Sid''s recent update indicated that Cayden might still be alive.
Cecelia knew Avery could never get over Cayden.
She might not appear like an assertive person, but once she made a decision, no one could change
her mind.
“I know I can''t stop you. Since you''ve made up your mind, go ahead and do it to the best of your ability
then.” Cecelia could only shake her head, continuing to y with Cal. “Our baby boy is so handsome.
Perhaps, you can marry Lyssa or Navya when you grow up?”
Cecelia''s two precious daughters were already over two years old.
To simplify the naming process, Cecelia named them Lyssa and Navya. Both girls were exceptionally
bright and charming. However, one was lively in character, while the other tended to be quiet. Despite
their identical appearances, their personalities werepletely opposite.
Averie responded, “Sure. I''m d that Cal is taken at this age. I don''t have to worry about him
bing an old bachelor in the future.”
Cecelia chuckled and joined in theughter. “I''m sure Cal will grow up to be a handsome man who will
sweep countless young girls off their feet. If a charming boy like him can''t find a partner when he grows
older, what chance will ordinary-looking boys have?”
As the two people were chattering andughing, the door to the CEO''s office was opened once again.
Xavier walked in, holding a baby bottle.
Seeing Cecelia ying with Cal on the carpet did not surprise him. Instead, he handed her the milk
bottle. “Tina just prepared the milk and was about to bring it over when she ran into me. So, she asked
me to bring it to Cal. Can you feed the baby?”
Avery said, “I''m taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”
With a nk expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even ncing at Xavier. She began to
patiently feed the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I''ll feed you some milk now, okay?”
With a nk expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even ncing at Xavier. She began to
patiently feed the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I''ll feed you some milk now, okay?”
Looking at how they gave each other the cold shoulder, Avery could not help but feel utterly helpless.
They had a pair of twin daughters, yet Xavier''s ex-wife stood between them. Her children were also
almost killed when they were born because of his son. That was why Cecelia resented him for it.
Even though two years have passed, she still could not bring herself to forgive him.
The atmosphere in the room was stifling.
Only the innocent and naive Cal, who knew nothing of the world, was happily gulping down his milk,
quickly emptying the bottle.
Avery nced at her watch and realized it was already time to get off work.

She urged, “It''s almost time to get off work. Cecelia, you should go pick up Lyssa and Navya. If you''re
late, I bet the two kids will start making a fuss again.”
“All right.” After wiping the milk residue from Cal''s mouth, Cecelia stood up. After bidding Avery
farewell, she was about to leave the office.
“I''ll go with you to pick up the kids.” Xavier hurriedly followed and stopped her. “They must have missed
me since I haven''t seen them for some time. You''ll not stop me from visiting them, right?”
Cecelia bumped him aside with her shoulder, responding indifferently, “My children are mine alone.
They don''t have a father. Get lost!”
She turned around and stormed away.
Xavier stood still, staring at her retreating figure, unable to snap back to reality for a long time, his
expression filled with sorrow.
Avery''s gaze softened slightly when she saw the distraught look on Xavier''s face. She then offered him
words offort. “Mr. Dartsley, try to spend more time with Lyssa and Navya whenever you have time.
They are at an age where they need their parents the most, especially their father''s care. Once you''ve
yed your role as a father well, the children will grow close to you, and once they be attached to
you, no matter how heartless Cecelia may be, I believe she won''t stop you from approaching them.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Moore.” Xavier hummed in response, feeling somewhat enlightened.
After work, Avery, holding Cal in her arms, waited at the corporation''s entrance for the driver to pick
them up.
Earlier at noon, the driver had to make an unexpectedly long detour to drop off a client, so the car was
running low on fuel. He told Avery to wait for him because he had to go to a nearby station to fill up the
gas.
At first, Avery wanted to wait for him in thepany''s lounge, but Cal, with his lively and active
personality, refused to stay in the room even for a moment.
She held her son and went to y by the flower bed on the side of the road.
Wilson, who was driving a silver luxury car, unexpectedly noticed Avery and her child on the side of the
road as he passed by the Trident Group''s building.
Avery was dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, donning a in white dress. She wore no makeup,
presenting a refreshingly clean and natural face.
The distinctive delicate features of her face made her look exceptionally attractive. She embodied the
grace and elegance that typically women from Jipsdale would exude.
Every move she made exuded a serene strength that could seemingly calm one''s restless emotions.
Anyone who sneaked a nce at her would feel a sense of relief wash over them.
The child in her arms was also incredibly beautiful, as he had a pair of big, mischievous eyes that
sparkled with mischief.
Tapping the index finger of his left hand on the steering wheel, Wilson decided to pull up in front of
them.
Wilson rolled down the car window, revealing his handsome face with a baffling smirk.
He stopped the car, got out, and greeted Avery warmly, “Ms. Rumpley, it''s been a while.”
Avery turned around, and the moment she saw Wilson, she felt a strong urge to turn back and return to
the office.
But out of courtesy, she had no choice but to respond, “Mr. Xenos. What a surprise.”
Back then, Wilson was fully aware that she was married and had children, yet he shamelessly pursued
her for a considerable length of time.
At that time, he pursued her relentlessly, almost driving her to the brink of copse.
In the end, Avery had no choice but to gather her courage and seek help from Xander. She had no idea
what Xander did to warn Wilson, but from then on, thetter had stopped bothering her, allowing her life
to gradually return to tranquility.
Yet, now, he had the audacity to show up again at the entrance of Trident Group. Avery could not help
but instantly put her guard up. What on earth does he want?
