The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494 As If He Was Seeing Avery

Nicole held her breath and waited for Cayden's reply. She feared that he would answer the old woman with a rejection.

It was as if he was a drug, and she was addicted to him.

Cayden never thought that Fiona would say that in such a straightforward manner, and he momentarily fell silent in contemplation.

With a lighthearted tone, he said, "Old Mrs. Lambert, I've just started going out with Nickie, and we have vastly different personalities. We'll need some time to get used to each other. However, since we've decided to be together, I'll definitely treat her well. Marriage is no small matter. When the time is right, I'll bring her to meet my family and have her gain their approval."

Hearing that, George and Fiona nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, Nicole beamed brightly.

She could not believe that he was publicly acknowledging their relationship, and it felt as if she was dreaming.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going to bring Cayden over there for a while."

Once her grandparents smiled and nodded to give their consent, she hooked her arm around Cayden's and said smilingly, "Let's go. Cayden, I'll introduce my friends to you."

Nicole was eager to tell everyone that the most excellent man in Ackleton now belonged to her.

There were reporters hiding in the crowd of guests at the birthday banquet, and Nicole knew that well.

That was why she was deliberately trying to make it seem like she and Cayden shared a close relationship.

By doing that, she could show off how charming she was, for she had won the heart of the most outstanding bachelor in town.

Another reason for her to do that was for her to assert dominance; she was stopping the other socialites from coveting the man.

Meanwhile, Cayden desperately wished he could fling the woman away.

The perfume she wore was too strong. It was nothing like the faint, natural fragrance Avery had, and he despised it.

However, due to the special circumstance, Cayden had to play along with Nicole and make the rounds with her in the banquet hall, listening to people's envious praises.

Even though Nicole had a humble demeanor, the look in her eyes was a gleeful and calculative one.

There were socialites who were prettier and more graceful than her at the event, and they were equally enamored of Cayden. But in the end, she was the one who had gotten him.

The socialites who once looked down on her because she was an adoptive daughter of her family were now looking at her with envy, resentment, and fury in their eyes, but that didn't matter one bit to Nicole.

The man once fearlessly announced Avery's identity before them. He even ignored how Avery's status did not match his and how the Moores protested against his insistence to get engaged with Avery.

Aggressive and stubborn behavior like that was proof of how important Avery was to him.

Even though he did not get engaged with Avery in the end, it had not been long since then before he decided to date Nicole.

Things were fishy.

Claire did not know whether to describe the man as too cold-blooded or too apathetic.

Regardless of what he was, Claire was not going to let him hurt her daughter. Clearly, Nicole had fallen too hard for him.

After excusing herself from the conversation, Claire slowly walked over to Cayden and Nicole before studying the man with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.

Noticing Claire's watchful gaze, Cayden whipped his head toward her.

For a split second, he thought he saw a middle-aged Avery when he looked at Claire.

It must have been my imagination...
