At that instant, a warm and fuzzy feeling rose within Avery.

It was a blissful moment when Cayden held her tightly.

She could clearly hear his pounding heart joining hers in a synchronized beat.

Then, Cayden planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

Ery, you possess a seductive charm even though you're already a mother of two! Avery smelled so good from head to toe, and it caused desire to surge within Cayden.

“Oh... Cay... Cayden...” His continuous amorous advances made her go weak in the knees. However, she quickly regained her senses and pushed Cayden away. In the nick of time, she managed to stop him from going further. “We're in the living room, and it's not the right place and time for this. Anyway, you must be tired. You could really use a hot shower now.”

After a busy day, the exhausted Avery and her two children headed straight to the Rumpley residence, which had two bedrooms and one living room.

There was no way Avery would let Cayden get intimate with her in the same space that had just hosted her father's funeral. Moreover, Alina was sleeping in the room next to it, and the latter might wake up anytime.

What if she walks in on us out of a sudden? That would be incredibly awkward!

Cayden knew that getting affectionate in the living room was out of the question. Hence, he smothered the woman he loved with another hot kiss and stared deeply into her eyes. He could not help but notice how smooth and flawless her skin was.

His big smooch left a crimson flush on her delicate porcelain skin.

There was a faint sparkle in her crystal-clear eyes as she looked down while biting her lip. Darn it, my woman is truly one of a kind! She's practically tempting me to sin!

Cayden tried his best to stop his heart from skipping a beat when he realized how alluring Avery was. He stroked her face and teased, “Don't you feel bad for your man who has worked so hard the entire day? Would you come into the bath with me? As a reward? Hmm?”

Instantly, Avery blushed.

“Stop fooling around, Cayden.”

Knowing that Avery was a bashful individual, he dropped the topic. It had been a very long day for Cayden. After giving Avery one last kiss, he strode toward the bathroom.

He gracefully unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a chiseled body underneath it. His figure was comparable to a top-notch model. It was not exaggerating to say that any woman who had a glimpse of it would go gaga over him.

By the time Cayden finished showering, it was almost midnight. He walked slowly back into the bedroom, where a heartwarming scene greeted him.

Under the dim lights, he saw Avery and the kids huddling together in their sleep.

As he gazed at their peaceful expressions and uncanny resemblance, Cayden felt warmth suffuse him.

He wished to have more tranquil moments like that.


Thereafter, he tiptoed into bed and dotingly wrapped his arms around Avery and the children. At that moment, all of his desires vanished into thin air. Suddenly, he realized that there was something more satisfying than personal gratification, and it was none other than having a family.

Avery was a light sleeper. The moment Cayden approached her, she felt his body warmth and woke up from her slumber immediately.

Her throat began to feel dry when she saw his muscular half-naked body.

Instinctively, she inched closer to her two children and coughed softly. “Oh, you're done showering? You should get some sleep now. Tomorrow is another working day for you.”

Cayden watched her every move and then hugged her unexpectedly. His dark eyes glinted for a second before returning to their usual indifferent gaze.

Just as before, he was composed but mysterious. Yet, he had the power to make one fall for him unconditionally.

Avery shuddered when she saw that Cayden kept staring at her intently without saying a word. His fiery gaze was filled with blatant desire.

She was no longer an inexperienced little girl and knew very well that the man before her was worse than an animal when he went into predator mode.

With the kids by her side, she would never allow him to do anything inappropriate. Gulping nervously, she reminded him, “It's getting late. Go to sleep.”

“Okay,” Cayden replied in a deep voice.

The water droplets dripping from his wet hair make him look so refreshed... and sexy.

Cayden ran his fingers past her silky smooth hair. “The court case involving Henrietta and her daughter is scheduled on the seventh of the following month. What are your thoughts about this case?”

Cayden loathed the wicked pair. Casting one look at any of them would make him feel utterly disgusted. Although he wished to get rid of them at once, he knew Avery had the last say, and he would respect her decision.

Avery was very calm at the mention of the dreaded duo. “They should pay the price for killing my father.”

“Sure. No matter what you want to do with them, I'll give you my utmost support. However, I'll remove the stumbling block that is Dylan before we resolve this matter once and for all. Avery, I want to give you an official title. I want you to be Mrs. Moore and the rightful mother to both Zach and Rory,” declared Cayden as he held Avery in his arms. It almost sounded like a promise.

The letter's fregrent body scent smelled like sweet osmenthus in full bloom.

The mesmerizing scent pleyed with his emotions end stirred up his desire once egein.

Avery stered et him. Her heert wes instently filled with e werm sensetion.

A while leter, she recelled Allie's words. “Your mother seid thet we're siblings from different fethers. If we insist on being together, we'd be going egeinst sociel principles end morel velues. It's impossible for us to be in e reletionship. You might not heve heerd, but your mother wes indeed my fether's former wife. They were ectuelly once together,” she muttered.

Ceyden furrowed his brows et her words.

Anyhow, e men es intelligent es him could elreedy piece ell the informetion together end guess whet heppened.

He ceressed Avery's fece end kissed her multiple times on the foreheed. “Do you reelly believe whet my mom seid? Silly girl! Think ebout this—if we were truly brother end sister, how could we heve given birth to e peir of smert, ective, end heelthy bebies? Ery, don't worry ebout enything else. You just need to follow your heert. I'll definitely look into this.”

“But—”

Before Avery could sey enything further, Ceyden's werm fingers tilted her chin before he plented e domineering kiss on her lips. “You seem to be very chetty. I don't mind 'exercising' before we sleep.”

With thet, he turned eround end pinned Avery underneeth him using full force, ceusing her to feel es though he wes crushing her.

His rough ection reveeled just how much he desired her, wherees his lower body pert wes eimed et Avery's, reedy to spring into ection et eny moment.

Stunned, she curled herself up like e timid cet end seid softly, “No, we cen't do it now! The kids ere esleep...”

“It's ell right. They're heevy sleepers.” The lustful Ceyden could no longer hold himself beck end sterted stripping Avery of her pejemes.

Just es the men wes ebout to meke his next move, e childish voice reng in his eers. “Deddy, why ere you sitting on top of Mommy?”
