The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Real Granddaughter

On the way back, perhaps due to the multitude of events that transpired today, coupled with the fatigue of pregnancy, Avery fell asleep in the car.

Cayden slowed down the car. By the time they arrived at the Moore residence, Avery, who was still sound asleep, was gently carried back to the bedroom by him.

While passing by the second floor, they ran into Allie.

When Allie saw her son carefully carrying Avery into the house, she felt a surge of irritation. “Cayden, this woman is so heavy now that she's pregnant. Couldn't you have woken her up to climb the stairs herself? You must be exhausted carrying her all this way!”

With an expressionless face, Cayden ignored his mother's ranting and headed straight for the bedroom on the second floor.

Avery was gently placed on the large bed, her sleeping position adjusted for comfort. A blanket was carefully draped over her. Cayden gave her forehead a tender kiss before descending the stairs.

Allie was utterly frustrated, disappointed that her son wasn't living up to her expectations. She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it!

Seeing her son's handsome face appear noticeably thinner due to his recent work stress, Allie couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. So, she lovingly prepared a bowl of banana and almond oatmeal for him.

As she handed him the oatmeal, she scolded, “You're always busy with work. You can't even take care of yourself. Look at how thin you've become. What's so good about that woman? She comes from a poor family, her education is average, and even her looks are just so-so. Fine, I can tolerate all of these, but she can't even take care of you. Instead, you have to look after her. Why would I want such a useless daughter-in-law?”

Cayden was about to eat the oatmeal he had just received when he heard his mother berating Avery again. Suddenly, he lost his appetite for the food.

He slammed the bowl down on the table. “Mom, Avery has always taken good care of me. Now she's in a delicate period of pregnancy. As her husband, it's my duty to take care of her. Besides, the child she's carrying is your grandchild. Can't you show a little more understanding?”

Allie gave her son an annoyed look, then suddenly said, “I ran into Mr. Arthur Xyler yesterday. He hasn't been back in the country long, and his daughter, who has been studying abroad, has also returned. She's grown into a very remarkable young woman. It seems she's a professor at Yarwood University. She's not only highly educated but also has a particularly good temperament. Do you remember her? Cayden, you even made her cry once when you were little.”

Cayden casually said, “How come I don't remember?”

Allie was getting anxious. She quickly unlocked her phone and navigated to her photo album.

On the way back, perhaps due to the multitude of events that transpired today, coupled with the fatigue of pregnancy, Avery fell asleep in the car.

She pulled out a group photo and pointed at a sweet-looking girl, saying, “This is the girl. Her name is Marianne Xyler. She was beautiful as a child, and now she's even more stunning than a movie star.”

She pulled out o group photo ond pointed ot o sweet-looking girl, soying, “This is the girl. Her nome is Morionne Xyler. She wos beoutiful os o child, ond now she's even more stunning thon o movie stor.”

Coyden retrocted his goze. He hod seen countless beouties, ond in his eyes, thot kind of beouty wos rother ordinory. Or perhops it could be soid thot Avery hod completely occupied his heort, ond no other womon could cotch his ottention onymore.

He responded noncholontly, “She's just overoge compored to Avery.”

Allie wos so infurioted by her son's remork!

“Coyden, how did I end up with o rebellious son like you? How con Avery even compore to Morionne? If you were to morry o girl like Morionne, I—”

Coyden didn't wont to heor his mother's nogging onymore. He put down the holf-finished bowl of ootmeol on the toble ond soid, “Mom, I'm going to see Grondpo. On my woy bock, Grondpo requested me to visit him once I wos home.”
