The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 286

In the meantime, Zachary and Rory sat on the soft couch in the living room of the Moore residence. They did not play around happily like they used to do.

At that moment, the two children were looking very gloomy.

The expression on their faces was one usually worn by an adult. Somehow, it looked funny when it was on the faces of the two young children.

Turning to Zachary, Rory said sullenly, “Zach, even though our house is much bigger than Ms. Ery's house, I don't even feel happy. I still want to stay with Ms. Ery.”

After considering the unique relationship she had with Cayden, Avery informed the two children in advance that they were only allowed to call her “Mommy” in private. However, when they were in public, they had to call her “Ms. Ery.”

The two children did not understand it. The only thing that they knew was that Avery was their mother. Though they could not find the reason for her insistence to be called “Ms. Ery” in public, they listened to her nonetheless. It was an instruction that they firmly bore in mind.

Zachary sat on the couch and took a deep breath like a young adult. Then, he shrugged helplessly and said, “I want to live with Ms. Ery as well. But the problem is, Daddy is too stupid. He can't even win her heart yet. If they get married, we can stay with her every day.”

Upon hearing his words, Rory widened her eyes in delight. “Is that true? Zach, if that is the case, let's help Daddy to win her heart.”

Zachary said, “But we need to think of a plan. Well, we can ask Uncle Kendrick. He always has all sorts of women with him. Everyone says that he's a womanizer, so he must be experienced in pursuing a woman.”

Rory then asked, “Zach, what is a womanizer?”

Zachary thought about it for a while. He was slightly frustrated with finding the right words to explain it to Rory. Therefore, he said casually, “Womanizers are men who like to catch butterflies. You know that Uncle Kendrick likes to wear floral shirts. That kind of man really likes to attract butterflies.”

Meanwhile, Rory nodded as it dawned on her. “I got it. So that's the meaning of a womanizer. Zach, I like butterflies very much. You need to wear floral shirts like Uncle Kendrick too. I'm sure that you can attract many butterflies. You have to become a womanizer in the future.”

Zachary was rendered speechless.

As Rory looked at him with anticipation, he suddenly realized that it was pointless to explain the term to a naivete like Rory. The helplessness that he felt made him hold his head in exasperation.

On the other hand, a housekeeper, who was picking up the toys next to them, could not stop herself from snorting in laughter as she heard their innocent conversation.

“Lillemor, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?” The young girl looked at her with bright eyes.

On the other hand, Zachary turned to gaze at the housekeeper with a stern expression. He looked exactly like a miniature Cayden. Thus, even though he was still young, he had a steely gaze. It caused a chill to run down the housekeeper's spine.

“It's nothing. Ms. Rory, Mr. Zachary, what fruit do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare them for you.” She quickly changed the topic.

In her babyish voice, Rory said, “I don't want to eat anything. I just want Ms. Ery.”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and welled up with tears. Zachary held Rory's hand tightly and did not know how to comfort her. As a matter of fact, he shared the same thought as her. He also wanted to stay with Avery every day.

The housekeeper was at a loss for words.

Avery's presence in the Moore family was like a thorn in the flesh. After all, she was in a very awkward position. Allie hated her very much, and even Jeffrey, who once approved of Avery, resented her now. In the meantime, Lily only gloated over her predicament.

The only people who can accept her are Mr. Cayden and the two young children.

At that moment, Jeffrey walked down the staircase with the help of a walking stick.

When he saw the two children looking very gloomy, he was puzzled and asked, “What's the matter?”

“Great-grandpa...” Zachary and Rory ran toward him. Both of them hugged each of his legs.

Even though Jeffrey was getting old, he was still revered in the Moore family.

As he was someone who had been holding enormous power for his entire life, he had an imperious aura surrounding him. It was the reason why even Lily and Allie would not dare to do anything when his steely gaze was fixed on them.

Other than Cayden, everyone in the Moore family was afraid of him.

Nevertheless, an old man like him adored his two great-grandchildren very much.

After all, the two children shared Cayden's bloodline, especially Zachary, who was very much like him. Even Zachary's personality was very similar to his father's. He had been a smart kid since he was young. Rory, on the other hand, was very sweet and beautiful. Even though she was slightly timid, she was good at coaxing other people and buttering them up.

Furthermore, the two children were obedient and always made him laugh. It was not a surprise that he liked them very much.

The moment he saw their sullen expressions, Jeffrey quickly asked them, “Tell me, my dear great-grandchildren. Did anyone bully you?”

Zachary looked up at Jeffrey with much anticipation and begged, “Great-grandpa, I miss Ms. Ery. Can you allow her to stay in our house?”
