The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 75

“But...” Avery was hesitant.

Since it was only the second day she was officially dating Cayden, it was probably too soon to meet his family.

To be exact, she wasn't mentally prepared for it.

Moreover, the reality could be harsh—she and Cayden just weren't on the same level when it came to their family status.

“No pressure. My background isn't any better than yours. Heck, it's probably worse than yours.” Cayden could roughly guess her concerns.

After Cayden said so, Avery could hardly decline his invitation.

She felt immensely stressed and nearly couldn't breathe after ending her call with Cayden. This feeling probably won't vanish until after I meet his family.

While she was deep in thought, her phone rang a few times.

Upon seeing that the calls were from Zayne, Avery did not answer or reject them.

Instead, she ignored all calls as if she didn't hear anything.

Deep down, Avery thanked Milana for putting up the shows that were supposed to irritate her.

After all, she finally knew Zayne's true colors after witnessing the intense show in the bathroom just now.

With that, she could give up on Zayne entirely and not feel a single hint of remorse for him.

Once Avery agreed to come home for dinner with Cayden, Jeffrey was so excited it was as if he wanted to prepare for Christmas.

“If everything goes smoothly, I'll have more grandchildren!” After murmuring to himself, Jeffrey whacked Kendrick with his walking cane and said, “Look at you! You don't have a wife, a girlfriend, or children. What a loser! Go home and clean the house now!”

“Cayden only brought a girlfriend home when he's twenty-nine. Since I'm a few years younger than him, why should I be worried? By the way, isn't the old furniture your favorite? You even said you would never change it!” Kendrick said.

“Stop spewing nonsense already!” Jeffrey was irritated and wanted to hit Kendrick with his walking cane again.

Once Kendrick got home, he sat down and instructed others to change the coffee table, couch, and dining table to some new and stylish furniture.

Besides that, he even asked the maids to pack Jeffrey's favorite antique furniture carefully so they could deliver it to the storeroom.

Following Kendrick's instructions, they had fully transformed the living room by four o'clock in the afternoon.

When Zachary got home from school, he was shocked by the sight of the living room. “Great-grandpa, what happened? Where is our old furniture?”

“Your daddy is going to come home with a lady tonight. Rory, Zach, remember to be obedient to your daddy and me later. Don't be naughty and mischievous, okay?” Jeffrey reminded them smilingly. Deep down, he was worried the kids would hate their future stepmother.

“A lady?” Zachary glanced at Rory.

“Great-grandpa, what's the lady's name?” Rory asked in a cute voice as she hugged Jeffrey's leg and looked up at him.

“Her name is...” Jeffrey couldn't help but frown. After recalling Cayden's conversation over the phone in the restroom, he said, “I think her name is something like Ery...”

“Ms. Ery?” Zachary widened his eyes upon hearing that.

Shocked, Jeffrey lowered his gaze and asked, “Do you know this Ms. Ery?”

“I do!”

Meanwhile, the maids went in and out of the residence, busy preparing dinner.

Zachary stood in front of Jeffrey as he explained, “We went to Ms. Ery's house before. She treated us well and even cooked for us. Also, Daddy shamelessly stayed in her house and refused to leave.”

Once Zachary finished, Rory quickly chimed in, “Besides, when Daddy brought us along on one of his business trips previously, all of us stayed in Ms. Ery's room overnight.”

Once Rory revealed the shocking news, Jeffrey perked up and raised his eyebrow. “What? Did your daddy sleep with her already?”

The two kids nodded non-stop.

“Daddy is so annoying because he always bullies Ms. Ery. There was a time when I saw her cry after being bullied.”

Zachary was worried about Avery, thinking that Cayden would bully her if she married him. After all, Zachary thought his father didn't seem like a good man.

Sitting on the new couch and holding his walking cane, Jeffrey tried to ascertain how much his grandson actually liked this woman.

At the same time, Jeffrey recalled that many years ago, his son Bruce had made a lot of promises to Lily but bullied her after they got married.

It was why Lily spent a lot of time crying for the majority of her life.

Even after Bruce passed away, Lily would cry whenever she recalled the painful past.
