The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 492

Chapter 492 No Mercy

When Nicole saw Allie fail to open Cayden's door, a feeling of disappointment swelled within her.

She hid the mockery in her eyes and tried to sound understanding by saying, “Mdm. Allie, it seems that Cayden's quite the wary person. He really doesn't like strangers entering his space, huh? Well, since I haven't established a relationship with him yet, let's just stay out of his room. Otherwise, I'm sure he'll be mad if he finds out about this. It's not a big deal if he gets mad at me, but should this matter end up creating a rift between you and your son, I'd feel very guilty.”

Smiling, Allie replied, “You're right, Nickie. I'm sure that once you become Cayden's fiancée, he'll show you around his room himself. I'll be looking forward to that day to come.”

The more I interact with Nicole, the more I realize she's going to be a great daughter-in-law. After all, she's already thinking for my sake even when she's not married to Cayden yet. Besides, it's not a bad thing to have a daughter-in-law that's easy to handle and is always on my side.

While Allie was still deep in her thoughts, Nicole asked softly, “Mdm. Allie, is Cayden very busy these days?”

She had gone to Trident Group many times to look for Cayden, but not once had she managed to meet him. Apart from that, Cayden even instructed his subordinates to keep his whereabouts secret. Even when Nicole gave it her all to try and pry some information out of the receptionist's mouth, it was all for naught. Left without a choice, she could only come to the Moore residence to find him.

In response, Allie confirmed, “Yes. My son has been busy with some urban reform projects recently. In fact, he's so busy that he hardly has any time to rest. It pains me as a mother to see him lose so much weight.”

She then added, “Nickie, it's actually not that difficult to capture a man's heart as long as you use the right skills. My son is a career-minded man. Because of this, he is relatively slow when it comes to dealing with feelings, and he needs a woman who can take the initiative. You're a good catch, and I believe that sooner or later, you'll be able to capture my son's heart as long as you keep being nice to him.”

After a moment, she divulged, “You know, back when I was with Bruce, there were always heaps of women surrounding him, but their relationship with him usually only lasted a month. I was the only woman who was able to stay by his side the longest. And the reason for that is that I know what he needs.”

Hearing that, Nicole thought about Allie's identity. I can't deny that she's one crafty woman to be able to go from a down-and-out dancer who relied on her children to rise to the top, to becoming the lady of the Moore family. In fact, she was able to earn herself a position higher than Lily, the legitimate wife.

With that thought in mind, she said meekly, “I'll do my best, Mdm. Allie. By the way, do you know when Cayden will be back?”

With that thought in mind, she said meekly, “I'll do my best, Mdm. Allie. By the way, do you know when Cayden will be back?”

“The Moore family has a family dinner on the fifteenth of every month. Every member of the family will have to come back no matter how busy they are. Since today happens to be the fifteenth, my son will surely come home,” came Allie's reply.

“I see. Well, today is also my grandmother's birthday, so I will have to stop by her house later. Mdm. Allie, if Cayden's late, I will come again next time.”

As Nicole spoke, she and Allie descended the stairs together before sitting down on the couch in the living room and continuing their conversation.

Their topic of conversation only circled around luxury goods, beauty products, and so on, for Nicole was aware that if they talked about anything deeper, Allie would find it too difficult to continue.

Nicole had heard from her parents that Bruce was a bigshot playboy back in the day, and she wondered how a woman of low status like Allie was able to wrap such a man around her finger.

Thankfully, Cayden only inherited his mother's good looks and nothing more. His intelligence and talents are all inherited from his father.

Soon, a striking luxury car pulled up outside the mansion. Leading the twins who had just finished school, Cayden walked into the living room.

When he saw Nicole, a grim look flitted across his eyes before it was replaced by his usual cold look. He asked, “Ms. Nicole, when did you arrive?”

“Not too long ago. I'm here to pay Mrs. Moore a visit. Did you go to pick up Zach and Rory?” Nicole stared at Cayden, her eyes shining with adoration.

It seems that every time I see him, he becomes a bit more handsome than before. His deep and ebony eyes, especially, look as dazzling as diamonds. Even without the light, they still shine with fascinating beauty.

Holding on to their father's hand, the twins frowned when they noticed Nicole and refused to even greet the woman.

After all, in their mind, Nicole was nothing but a sly vixen trying to worm her way into their father's heart. They saw no reason to be friendly toward the woman who was trying to snatch their mother's position.

Although Nicole was a little embarrassed when she realized the angelic-looking twins were giving her the cold shoulder, she was not discouraged from trying to get into their good books.
