The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 678 What Exactly Does He Want

Avery said, “I'm taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”

Cecelia was so startled that she nearly dropped Cal from her thighs.

She quickly grabbed the little boy, her gaze meeting Avery's directly. “Come on. Cal is only two years old. Do you think he's suitable to go on a long-distance trip? Furthermore, if Cayden is still alive, with his intelligence and wisdom, he should have returned by now since two years have already passed. Avery, I hate to say this, even if you don't want to accept the reality—Cayden is gone. Moreover, the fact that Cayden was attacked in Mocset indicates that he has enemies there. It'll be a dangerous place for you to be there! You'll risk exposing yourselves and Cal to the enemy if you insist on going there. Even if you don't consider your own safety, you should at least think about your little boy, right? After all, he's still so young.”

“No. I know Cayden is still alive. I can feel it in my bones.” Avery refused to accept Cecelia's advice, even though what she said made sense. I will not believe Cayden is gone until I see his body with my own eyes.

Moreover, Sid's recent update indicated that Cayden might still be alive.

Cecelia knew Avery could never get over Cayden.

She might not appear like an assertive person, but once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.

“I know I can't stop you. Since you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it to the best of your ability then.” Cecelia could only shake her head, continuing to play with Cal. “Our baby boy is so handsome. Perhaps, you can marry Lyssa or Navya when you grow up?”

Cecelia's two precious daughters were already over two years old.

To simplify the naming process, Cecelia named them Lyssa and Navya. Both girls were exceptionally bright and charming. However, one was lively in character, while the other tended to be quiet. Despite their identical appearances, their personalities were completely opposite.

Averie responded, “Sure. I'm glad that Cal is taken at this age. I don't have to worry about him becoming an old bachelor in the future.”

Cecelia chuckled and joined in the laughter. “I'm sure Cal will grow up to be a handsome man who will sweep countless young girls off their feet. If a charming boy like him can't find a partner when he grows older, what chance will ordinary-looking boys have?”

As the two people were chattering and laughing, the door to the CEO's office was opened once again.

Xavier walked in, holding a baby bottle.

Seeing Cecelia playing with Cal on the carpet did not surprise him. Instead, he handed her the milk bottle. “Tina just prepared the milk and was about to bring it over when she ran into me. So, she asked me to bring it to Cal. Can you feed the baby?”

Avery said, “I'm taking Cal with me to Mocset to find Cayden.”

With a blank expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even glancing at Xavier. She began to patiently feed the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I'll feed you some milk now, okay?”

With a blank expression, Cecelia took the baby bottle without even glancing at Xavier. She began to patiently feed the little boy. “Baby, oh, baby. I'll feed you some milk now, okay?”

Looking at how they gave each other the cold shoulder, Avery could not help but feel utterly helpless.

They had a pair of twin daughters, yet Xavier's ex-wife stood between them. Her children were also almost killed when they were born because of his son. That was why Cecelia resented him for it.

Even though two years have passed, she still could not bring herself to forgive him.

The atmosphere in the room was stifling.

Only the innocent and naive Cal, who knew nothing of the world, was happily gulping down his milk, quickly emptying the bottle.

Avery glanced at her watch and realized it was already time to get off work.

She urged, “It's almost time to get off work. Cecelia, you should go pick up Lyssa and Navya. If you're late, I bet the two kids will start making a fuss again.”

“All right.” After wiping the milk residue from Cal's mouth, Cecelia stood up. After bidding Avery farewell, she was about to leave the office.

“I'll go with you to pick up the kids.” Xavier hurriedly followed and stopped her. “They must have missed me since I haven't seen them for some time. You'll not stop me from visiting them, right?”

Cecelia bumped him aside with her shoulder, responding indifferently, “My children are mine alone. They don't have a father. Get lost!”

She turned around and stormed away.

Xavier stood still, staring at her retreating figure, unable to snap back to reality for a long time, his expression filled with sorrow.

Avery's gaze softened slightly when she saw the distraught look on Xavier's face. She then offered him words of comfort. “Mr. Dartsley, try to spend more time with Lyssa and Navya whenever you have time. They are at an age where they need their parents the most, especially their father's care. Once you've played your role as a father well, the children will grow close to you, and once they become attached to you, no matter how heartless Cecelia may be, I believe she won't stop you from approaching them.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Moore.” Xavier hummed in response, feeling somewhat enlightened.

After work, Avery, holding Cal in her arms, waited at the corporation's entrance for the driver to pick them up.

Earlier at noon, the driver had to make an unexpectedly long detour to drop off a client, so the car was running low on fuel. He told Avery to wait for him because he had to go to a nearby station to fill up the gas.

At first, Avery wanted to wait for him in the company's lounge, but Cal, with his lively and active personality, refused to stay in the room even for a moment.

She held her son and went to play by the flower bed on the side of the road.
