The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 721 A Bolt From The Blue

Alina felt a tangle of emotions when she saw how protective Cayden was of her niece. Avery has an excellent eye indeed for people. She found such a good man who loves and protects her. No matter how arrogant, overbearing, or supercilious Allie is, with his protection, that woman won't be able to stir up any trouble no matter what she does.

Looking around and seeing no sign of Cal, Jeffrey immediately turned to Avery with a questioning gaze. “By the way, where's my dear Cal? Why hasn't he come back? You didn't lose him, did you?”

Cal was the apple of his eye. Although the child was just a little over two years old and quite mischievous, he often made him laugh heartily. The affection Jeffrey had for him even surpassed that for the twins.

She replied, “Cal's granddad and granny miss him, so I've taken him to theirs. I'll pick them up in a couple of days.”

“You should bring them back soon, then. What's a member of the Moore family doing spending so much time at his maternal grandparents' place?” he said in a displeased tone.

“All right. I understand,” she hurriedly responded.

Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Turning his head, he saw Alina sitting quietly on the couch. She had kept her head lowered and had not uttered a single word the whole time. Changing the subject, he asked her, “How's your father's health? It's been over a month since I last saw him. I miss him quite a bit. When you have time, bring him here for a visit.”

Avery's gaze suddenly dimmed. She was just about to say something, but Cayden stopped her with a look.

As for Alina, her body stiffened slightly, and she replied somewhat mechanically, “My father is doing okay, Old Mr. Moore. It's just that his old illness has been acting up again these past few days, so he needs to rest at home for a while. Once his health improves, I'll bring him to meet you.”

There's no doubt she's intelligent and empathetic, but her flaw is that she's too warm-hearted. That's why she always easily gets deceived. However, I'm satisfied with Cayden's response. Thankfully, this nephew-in-law of mine is reliable and of good character. Otherwise, I'd be genuinely worried about Avery staying at such a
