The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 614 Drastic Change In Attitude

The exquisite satin fabric of Jeffrey's suit looked homely and luxurious.

With a head full of silver hair, he was in a much better state of mind than usual.

Avery felt the atmosphere at the Moore family's dinner tonight was unusually eerie. This was because Jeffrey would occasionally glance at her, sizing her up as if he was comparing something.

At times he would nod, then he would sigh, leaving her utterly confused.

Avery's eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at Cayden. He, however, only responded with a smile and no words, simply placing some greens into her bowl. “Eat more,” he said.

Before she even had a chance to eat, she saw a piece of tender fish suddenly fall into her plate.

Avery looked at Jeffrey, who was serving her food, with surprise and a sense of being flattered. “Thank you, Old Mr. Moore...”

Jeffrey hummed in agreement, speaking at a leisurely pace. “You're too thin, eat more fish and meat. It's good for both you and the child in your belly. The baby you'll give birth to will be as smart as Zach and Rory.”

After some hints from his grandson, Jeffrey began to vaguely suspect that Avery might be the lost daughter of the Lambert family.

Hence, the drastic change in his attitude.

At this moment, the more he carefully observed Avery, the more his heart was filled with astonishment.

His daughter-in-law bore a striking resemblance to Claire as if they were both carved from the same mold. How had he not noticed this before?

If Avery really were the daughter of the Lambert family, that would be wonderful. His long-standing wish to become in-laws with George could finally come true.

The more Jeffrey thought about it, the happier he became. He picked up another shrimp for Avery, speaking earnestly, “Ery, now that you and Cayden have gotten married, you are officially a daughter-in-law of the Moore family. I hope that you can work hand in hand with Cayden in the future, taking on the responsibilities that belong to you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me.”

Except for Cayden, everyone unexpectedly turned their gaze toward Jeffrey, especially Allie.

Her face looked as if she had seen a ghost!

Ever since a series of unfortunate events befell Avery, Allie knew better than anyone just how much her father-in-law despised her!

But why had his attitude undergone such a drastic change today?

Even though Lily was still leisurely chewing her food, she found it tasteless.

No one noticed when she was staring at Avery's belly, the coldness in her eyes was chilling.

Avery gratefully ate the food that Jeffrey had served her, all the while responding gently, “I understand, Old Mr. Moore. Cayden is my husband, and I know what I should do. I will strive to grow and become a worthy wife for him.”

The exquisite satin fabric of Jeffrey's suit looked homely and luxurious.

Allie sneered coldly, “What a boastful girl. You think you're good enough? Even if you put forth all the effort in your life, you still wouldn't be worthy of my son.”

Allie sneered coldly, “Whot o boostful girl. You think you're good enough? Even if you put forth oll the effort in your life, you still wouldn't be worthy of my son.”

Jeffrey's foce dorkened, ond he scolded sternly, “Allie, how con you speok like this? Avery is your doughter-in-low. Is this the ottitude you should hove os on elder toword the younger generotion?
