The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 274

Carrying Avery in his arms, Cayden walked to the parking lot.

Avery leaned against his chest as if she did not have a care in the world.

Cayden's trench coat covered Avery's body, leaving only her head exposed. She peeped through the gap to glance at the stoic man. The hostile look on Cayden's face sent a chill down Avery's spine, causing her teeth to chatter.

The woman still could not stop blushing. She continuously wiggled uncomfortably underneath his coat.

“Cayden...” Avery sounded as if she was on the verge of tears.

The tough front she had put up earlier had vanished into thin air.

Avery had no idea why she cried when she saw him, but somehow, she failed to suppress her emotions.

A burning heat started coursing through her veins, and the uncomfortable feeling caused her to lose control of her body. The warmth in her was a stark contrast against the freezing weather.

She felt uneasy upon noticing the grim expression on Cayden's face. In fact, she felt aggrieved.

As the chilly weather became more intense, the man tightened his hug and continued walking without glancing at her.

The frail Avery curled up in Cayden's chest as the latter carried her to the car.

After starting the engine, Xavier tilted his head and asked, “Mr. Moore, should we bring Ms. Rumpley to the hospital or send her home?”

“I want to go home.” Avery felt sorry for herself when she realized Cayden did not pay much attention to her.

Cayden clenched his jaw for a bit before answering Xavier, “Let's go to Duke Hotel.”

Duke Hotel was a five-star hotel under Trident Group.


It was already two in the morning. Knowing that it was an urgent matter, Xavier sped on the road and arrived at the hotel's entrance in no time.

At this point, the drug caused Avery to become delirious and feel horrible. She continuously struggled and rubbed her body against the man to seduce him.

Her disheveled appearance did not diminish her beauty for a bit, but the burning heat her body gave out kept reminding Cayden she was probably drugged.

A hard glint flashed across Cayden's clear eyes upon recalling Dylan's bestial act. She knew what kind of person Dylan was, yet, she still went to meet him. Does she have no sense of danger? That man would have taken advantage of her had I not arrived in time!

Cayden wished he could cut Dylan into pieces whenever he thought of how the latter nearly violated the love of his life.

The moment he stepped into the hotel while carrying Avery in his arms, the front desk manager walked over.

The manager was dumbfounded when he saw a woman lying in his CEO's arms but was prudent enough to keep mum.

Initially, the manager wanted to lead them to a private suite, but Cayden waved his hand to stop him from following. He then walked into the elevator with Avery.

“Let me go, Cayden...” Avery uttered in a raspy voice. She felt miserable as the drug continued to take a toll on her body.

“You're scared now, huh? Well, it's too late!” Cayden nibbled on her ear.

His manly scent overwhelmed her nose. Avery could not help but take a whiff of it.

She eventually took a few more breaths. It was as if inhaling his scent could help dissipate the heat from her body.

Cayden was aware of her behavior. Upon noticing the sweat droplets rolling down her chest, he smirked. “Avery, look how raunchy you are. I should take a video of you to show you how you're acting now.”

Avery's eyes darkened when she heard his sarcastic remark.

Feeling helpless, she could only look away to avoid making eye contact with him. How can I explain to him that it's out of my control? Nina will be in danger if I don't do as Dylan said.

Besides, she did call him for help during the most crucial moment, but his phone was off. What else could I do?

Cayden thought Avery looked away because she was embarrassed to face him. He could not help but start developing mixed feelings.

A corner of the man's lips quirked up. “So you were desperate for another man's touch because I failed to satisfy your needs when I was away for a couple of days, huh? I never knew you were so raunchy!”

His words chilled Avery to the bone. She shuddered at his ruthless accusation.

She stared into his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing veins popping out on his face, Avery expressed her disappointment, “Is that how you think of me, Cayden?”

She had only loved Cayden throughout the twenty-four years of her life.

She had given all her love and care to the man.

He emerged like a sparkling star during her teenage years, overwhelming every part of her body and bringing life to her empty soul. He came into her world as her most beautiful dream and gave her the confidence to conquer her inferiority.

From then on, the ways Cayden smiled and moved and even his speaking voice struck a chord with Avery.
