After Nicole escaped Roderick's torture, she left the hotel with marks all over her body. Still panting, she received a call from a private investigator who told her an address.
Even though she was exhausted, she still drove to that mysterious location.
...
The sunlight wasn't scorching on Cayden's rare rest day. He spent his time in the mansion, keeping Avery and his children company.
After lunch, he brought his kids to swim at the pool.
The pool was oval-shaped. From the sky, it looked like an emerald embedded in the mansion's garden.
The water inside was quite warm.
Cayden wore a pair of sunglasses and short pants. He patiently taught his adorable children how to swim inside the pool.
Meanwhile, Avery was reading a book on a chair.
That said, she would occasionally watch her family interacting with each other. This man has a sexy body. Even though we've been sharing a bed for so long, I've never observed his figure attentively. I'm glad to be able to enjoy the view of his flawless body under the golden sunlight.
Even though Cayden had well-developed muscles, he wasn't a burly man.
Under the sunlight, his well-proportioned body appeared as though it had been sculpted by God, looking both beautiful and powerful. His every move exuded a natural-born elegance resembling that of a mighty leopard.
Avery's heart raced as indecent scenes flashed past her mind.
When she thought about the sensation of his body pressing on hers, she couldn't help but blush.
In fact, she was getting a little jealous that her unworldly children could openly touch Cayden's body.
Avery was so absorbed in the view that her book dropped onto her thighs, snapping her back to reality.
Awkwardly, she pinched her cheek. Why have I been thinking about sexual stuff like this so much? Is it because I haven't had sex with Cayden recently? Is that why I'm so thirsty for him?
As she kept thinking about that, she reprimanded herself. She then forced herself to focus on the book. However, the further she tried to avoid looking at Cayden, the more she couldn't help but do it anyway. IMDb said that people will live longer if they look at handsome men often. After all, staring at beautiful things will make people happy, which then extends their lifespans. Gazing at handsome men is a source of joy in my life, so I'm not doing anything wrong. In fact, I'm improving my health.
When Avery's train of thought ended there, she subconsciously justified her ogling and “peeked” at Cayden openly.
“Mommy has been staring at you for a long while, Daddy!” Zachary pointed his finger at Avery and giggled, showing no remorse for betraying his own mother.
Cayden turned around but only saw Avery calmly reading her book, looking as though she had never shifted her attention away from it.
Amused, he said, “It's because I have an amazing, alluring body. Once you have a wife, you can use this technique, too, Zachary.”
Dim-wittedly, Zachary asked, “What technique, Daddy?”
Cayden shot a glance of disdain at his son's skinny figure. “You'll need a figure like mine first. No girls will be interested in your scrawny body.”
In response, Zachary slapped the pool water and retorted, “Don't look down on me, Daddy! Once I grow up, I'll have a figure ten times better than yours!”
Rory, who was wearing a floater, hugged Cayden's leg and produced a chime-like giggle. “Can I use this technique too once I grow up, Daddy?”
When Cayden heard that, an alarm went off in his mind.
As he stared at his pretty daughter, he couldn't help but imagine how she would look when she grew up.
Then he hugged her daughter and advised, “No. This is something only men can do. Women aren't allowed to do that. Even when you have a man you like after you grow up, you still can't expose your
body to him. Aside from your brother and me, every other man in the world is an evil brat. They'll lie to you, hurt you, and make you cry. You absolutely mustn't trust any of them. Do you understand?”
Rory twiddled Cayden's wet hair and nodded, not fully understanding her father's words. “I get it, Daddy.”
Only then did Cayden nod with satisfaction and kiss his daughter's tender cheek. “Good girl.”
Upon seeing that, Avery pressed her hand on her forehead. Cayden is way too protective of our daughter. If he raises her like that, instilling her with these kinds of ideas, how will she find love in the future?
In the distance, at the surveillance cameras' blind spot, Nicole glared at the happy family with reddened eyes. Jealousy was festering in her heart. I knew that b*tch didn't leave Ackleton! Cayden is still spending time with her, even though we're about to be engaged tomorrow.
Her lips trembled with sorrow and bitterness.
She was tugging the branches like crazy, desperately wanting to dash toward Avery and tearing the latter's joyous smile to shreds.
Her emotional devastation overwhelmed her so much that she wanted to cry.
It was then Nicole noticed Avery's baby bump. That b*tch didn't have a miscarriage! Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Moments later, she saw Cayden carrying Avery into the mansion and the twins in cartoon swimming suits following their parents, hopping and skipping.
It was agonizing for her to watch the happy family.
I thought Avery would flee far away from Ackleton after watching the content on the disk. Yet, that b*tch is still all lovey-dovey with Cayden in such a hidden spot! Meanwhile, I, Cayden's rightful fiancée, can only hide in a dark corner and wallow in my envy! This is unfair! Hatred swirled in Nicole's eyes.
I gave Cayden all my love, and I've endured the cold attitude he's been giving me without complaining about it. In fact, I'm willing to abstain from interfering with his private life after our marriage! Yet, he repays my kindness with such cruelty! In that case, what's the point of me doing all this for him? I seem like a joke!
As she stared at the family and the glamorous mansion, resentment flooded her heart. I won't give up like this!
Nicole rubbed her tears away and returned to her car.
Upon entering the driver's seat, she stepped on the gas and left bitterly.
