The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 494 As If He Was Seeing Avery

Nicole held her breath and waited for Cayden's reply. She feared that he would answer the old woman with a rejection.

It was as if he was a drug, and she was addicted to him.

Cayden never thought that Fiona would say that in such a straightforward manner, and he momentarily fell silent in contemplation.

With a lighthearted tone, he said, "Old Mrs. Lambert, I've just started going out with Nickie, and we have vastly different personalities. We'll need some time to get used to each other. However, since we've decided to be together, I'll definitely treat her well. Marriage is no small matter. When the time is right, I'll bring her to meet my family and have her gain their approval."

Hearing that, George and Fiona nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, Nicole beamed brightly.

She could not believe that he was publicly acknowledging their relationship, and it felt as if she was dreaming.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going to bring Cayden over there for a while."

Once her grandparents smiled and nodded to give their consent, she hooked her arm around Cayden's and said smilingly, "Let's go. Cayden, I'll introduce my friends to you."

Nicole was eager to tell everyone that the most excellent man in Ackleton now belonged to her.
