The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 722 Do You Not Recognize Me

After more than two years apart, Zachary had grown significantly taller. Perhaps due to the incredible growth spurt during a boy's puberty, he now stood half a head taller than his twin sister.

His face was still strikingly handsome, and his eyes were more radiant than ever. On top of that, his natural curls made him look like a dashing little prince straight out of a fairy tale. One glance at the boy, and it'd be impossible for anyone to take their eyes off him.

Right there and then, however, Zachary was staring at Cayden with an incredibly complex gaze. He seemed excited, conflicted, and somewhat annoyed, which Cayden found slightly amusing.

He beckoned to Zachary as he spoke up, his tone stern and fatherly. “Come here. Don't you recognize your father anymore?”

After a moment's hesitation, Zachary walked calmly over to Cayden. “Daddy.”

In all honesty, he felt bitter toward Cayden. He resented him for not returning after such a long time, resented his absence that brought his mother so much hardship, and resented that while others had both parents, he and his sister seemed to be living in a single-parent household.

However, as soon as Cayden appeared, Zachary suddenly realized how much he had missed his father.

Cayden sighed softly as he ruffled his son's fluffy hair, his heart a tangled ball of emotions. “You and your sister used to call me 'Daddy,' but now that you've grown up, you're no longer the kid who'd do everything I say. I haven't been able to witness your growth for the past two years, and that's my fault. From now on, I'll always be with you guys.”

Zachary was one who rarely showed his emotions.

Especially in the last two years since his father's disappearance, he had grown even more withdrawn and composed.

Alas, when Cayden stroked his head as usual, Zachary, like his sister, threw himself into the former's arms and began sobbing.

“I really missed you, Daddy. Mommy, Rory, Cal, and everyone at home miss you too. Why did it take you so long to come back? Do you know how hard it was for Mommy while you were gone? Rory would often cry her eyes out, and Cal is always mischievous... It's good that you're back now. Our family is finally complete again. Daddy, please don't leave us again...”
