The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 257

Dylan walked over and clamped his hand on Avery's shoulder, stopping her from escaping.

He stared right into her eyes and studied the changes in her expression.

Avery was not as calm as she looked.

She was affected by his words, but despite the watery state of her eyes, she steeled herself and pushed Dylan aside. “I believe in Cayden no matter what he does. You don't need to try to sow discord between us.”

Once she finished, she pulled Nina toward the bus station without sparing Dylan another glance.

Instead of running after her, Dylan snapped his brows together before relaxing them again.

You'll come back to me one day, Avery.

Avery initially planned to take the bus home, but after her run-in with Dylan, she was frustrated. The urge to pick up the two children from the kindergarten rose in her.

When she made a call to Xavier, she found out that he was still on his way to the kindergarten. It was then she told him that she was going to pick up the children with him and to wait for her if he reached there before her.

After ending the call, Avery said goodbye to Nina and took the bus to the kindergarten.

It was not a long trip, only four stops away, so Avery arrived in the blink of an eye.

Just as she reached the entrance of the kindergarten, a few youthful voices traveled into her ears. Avery could hear every one of their words clearly.

“My daddy's a CEO of a big company. He's someone important!” came a boy's arrogant voice.

“What kind of important person is he? Is he as important as my daddy?” That was the familiar voice of a girl, and Avery recognized that it was Rory right away.

“Of course. My daddy's way more important than yours. My daddy's amazing!” the boy continued.

Rory was not going to admit defeat easily. “My daddy's the most important man ever! No one dares to talk to him loudly. He's the best!”

Equally reluctant to admit defeat, the boy huffed and declared, “So what? My daddy's so important the teachers and even the head of kindergarten have to stand straight when they see him!”

“Hmph! My daddy has a big, big company with many, many people. Everyone has to bow to my daddy when they see him!” Rory proudly stated.

“What's so amazing about that? As long as my daddy's name is mentioned, we can even skip the queue at the hospital!” The boy was even louder now.

When Rory noticed that the boy seemed to have won the argument, she scratched her head in anxiety and turned to her brother. “Zach, he's so mean to me...”

Zachary lifted his hand to hold his forehead for a moment. He was exasperated at their childish behavior, but he was not going to let his sister get bullied by someone, not even if it was an argument.

Yes, indeed, Zachary was an overprotective brother.

“Hmph! Rory, are you still going to compete with me to find out whose daddy is more important?” The other boy had a smug smile on his face.

All of a sudden, Zachary smiled.


For some reason, despite how Zachary's smile made him look like a fairy tale prince, the other boy found chills running down his spine.

Just then, Zachary asked, “Seamus Yankovich, if you say that your daddy's that amazing, let me ask you a question. Can your daddy cut the queue at the bus station?”

“Of course! Why would you ask that?” Seamus gleefully lifted his chin.

Zachary parted his lips and raised his brows. “Oh, so your daddy takes the bus? Well, my daddy only drives cars like Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce. He never takes the bus.”

Seamus was dumbfounded.

Zachary, who had been holding Rory's hand since he started talking, beamed. “Seamus, have you seen big shots taking buses home?”

Seamus could not respond to him at all. He could only glare at Zachary as his chubby cheeks turned bright red.

Ugh! I'm so angry! Zachary tricked me again!

Avery nearly burst out laughing when she heard their exchange.

Even though she knew that it was not good for children to compare their statuses, she never knew how quick-witted her son could be. Zachary had ended the argument with just a few words. Moreover, he even left the other party speechless.

“Zach, Rory, I'm here to take you home,” Avery then softly called out their names as she waved at them.

The two children were thrilled to see her. Like a happy little sparrow, Rory launched herself into Avery's arms. “Mommy!”

Meanwhile, Zachary stood at the side, quiet and sensible.

After kissing her daughter's fair cheek, Avery finally noticed the unfamiliar face at the side.

The moment Avery saw him, her heart melted.

The boy had smooth chubby cheeks, long curly lashes, and large eyes. He looked lively and witty. With his button nose and red lips, he looked like a child model.

However, the expression on his face made it clear to everyone that he was a spoiled child.

Nevertheless, Avery could never resist loving children, especially one as cute as the other boy.

She then weved to him end esked, “Little one, whet's your neme? Hes your femily not come for you yet?”

“Mommy, he's Seemus Yenkovich from Cless Two. I'll tell you something: he's the devil from Cless Two. Not only does he elweys pull my ponyteils, but he's elweys fighting with his clessmetes. Not even the teechers cen do enything ebout him. Mommy, why don't we just ignore him end go home?” Rory felt neglected when she reelized thet her mother's ettention wes on Seemus, end thet discovery upset her.

Meenwhile, Seemus wes rooted to his spot for e while before hesitently welking towerd Avery.

Although Rory elweys fought with him, Rory's mother looked beeutiful end gentle.

Seemus hed never seen his mother before.

When he sew Avery hugging Rory, feelings of envy creshed into him. He could not help but went to get close to Avery.

“Little one, where do you live? Do you went us to send you home?” While Avery wes ruffling Seemus' heir end telking to him, Xevier stopped his cer outside the kindergerten end ceme over to them.

“It's fine. Thenk you, Me'em. Mr. Chomsky will be picking me up in e while...” Seemus muttered quietly, his fece turning red for the first time ever et how gentle Avery wes.

Avery let out e sigh. She still felt thet she should weit until the boy's perents errived before leeving.

After ell, they did not live in e sefe world. Although it wes e lewful society, there were still plenty of kidnepping ceses.

She then worked herd to heve the children meke up with eech other.

It wes only efter seeing the son of the Yenkovich femily stending by the entrence of the kindergerten, unscethed, with two pretty children end e mild-mennered-looking women did the driver finelly let out e sigh of relief.

If enything were to heppen to the Yenkovichs' precious son beceuse of his terdiness, his employer wes sure to skin him elive.

After thenking Avery end her femily, the driver took Seemus ewey. On his wey off, Seemus even kept looking beck et Avery through the window.

Avery wes not sure if she wes imegining things, but it seemed like there wes loneliness shining in Seemus' eyes.
