The CEO Gets What He Wants

Although lunch was home-cooked food, the dishes were all scrumptious. Besides, there were a variety of dishes

served.

Not only was the table filled with appetizers and main dishes, but there was also a bottle of Blake's favorite tequila.

Cayden got to know about Blake's hobby through Avery. Before he went over, he went out of his way to buy a bottle

of tequila.

Avery only sat down next to Cayden after bringing the last dish, a bowl of soup, to the table.

While serving Blake some soup, Avery said, “Grandpa, these are the dishes I learned to make recently. Please have

a taste. I hope you like them.”

Most of the dishes on the table were Blake's favorites, while a couple of dishes were to Cayden's liking.

Blake then patted Cayden on the shoulder and praised Avery, saying, “My granddaughter isn't too bad, right? Look

at the dishes she prepared. Not only do they look nice, but they also taste delicious! In fact, the smell alone is

making me hungry! You're definitely not going to regret marrying Ery. Ery has always been sensible and obedient.

Her only flaw is that she's too passive. Even if someone were to wrong her, she would still keep her mouth shut.

Cayden, you'd better not bully my granddaughter!”

Blake had met Cayden before, and that wasn't the first time they interacted with each other. Therefore, Blake knew

Cayden was the boss of a multinational company. Although Cayden was from a wealthy family, he wasn't as

arrogant and vain as those typical rich kids. Instead, Cayden was polite and respectful. That was why Blake had a

good impression of Cayden.

However, Blake was still a little worried. Although my granddaughter is amazing, this excellent young man has an

extraordinary family background. Meanwhile, we're not a wealthy family, and my granddaughter has to take care

of me. What if the Moore family bullies Ery because of this?

Sitting there with his tall and muscular figure, Cayden looked incredibly elegant. He calmly held Avery's hand and

teased, “Don't worry, Grandpa. Ery holds the most power at home. Normally, she's the one bullying me. Besides,

why would I do that? I have nothing but love for her!”

“Good lad! Come on. Let's have a couple of drinks!” Blake said.

Blake was in good spirits that day. After having a few drinks with Cayden, his wrinkly face was glowing. Nonetheless,

he got a little tipsy.

Seeing that, Avery tried to snatch Blake's glass away. “Grandpa, a person your age shouldn't be drinking too much.”

Blake shot Avery a grumpy look and replied, “Let me be, will you? I'm having a good time. After all, I know my body

better than you, and I can hold my liquor, okay? I'm going to have a few more with Cayden.”

Alina was busy serving food to the twins when she heard that. She couldn't help but frown and say, “Dad, I know

you're having a good time, but you shouldn't drink so much. When I brought you to the doctor for a medical

checkup that day, the doctor advised you to quit drinking, didn't he? If you don't stop, you're going to trouble Ery

again because she will need to take care of you when you end up in a hospital.”

Blake slammed his glass onto the table when he heard what his daughter said.

He then threw a tantrum with a solemn expression. “I'm not drinking anymore! What's so wrong with me having a

few drinks? I'm just happy Cayden is here.”

Avery sighed and felt helpless. At the same time, she was rather amused. What can I do? My grandpa is an

alcoholic!

The twins were staring at their grumpy great-grandfather in bafflement. Their jaws dropped, and they even forgot

to chew the food in their mouths. When Great-grandad is angry, he looks exactly like Great-grandpa! Great-

grandpa has high blood pressure, so he isn't supposed to eat oily or spicy food. However, he's too in love with meat!

Great-grandpa had the same funny facial expression as Great-grandad when Daddy restricted his diet.

Cayden knew exactly what to do with old people like Blake. After all, if Cayden could handle Jeffrey, he would have

no problem handling Blake.

Suddenly, Cayden put his glass on the table elegantly.

He then smiled and uttered in a gentle tone, “Grandpa, I've already had a few drinks with my clients before I came

over. I think the tequila is too strong for me, and I'm having trouble staying sober. Why don't we drink some other

day? By the way, I have a few bottles of wine at home. Not only are they tasty, but they're also good for your

health. So even if you have a whole bottle to yourself, it'll be all right. Unfortunately, I was in a rush, and I forgot to

bring them here. I'll bring you some when I come over next time. We'll continue drinking then, okay?”

Blake's frown loosened up when Cayden eased the tension in the room.

Moreover, his eyes lit up instantly when he heard about the wine Cayden was talking about. “Sure! We'll continue

drinking next time!”

The family had a pleasant lunch afterward.

From time to time, Cayden would chat with Blake, and at the same time, Cayden had to deal with the slightly

sensitive questions Alina threw at him. All in all, he handled them quite well.

Cayden had always been ineloquent whenever he dealt with strangers. However, Blake wasn't like the people

Cayden had to deal with regularly. Blake was friendly and kind. Truth be told, Cayden had never experienced the

same kind of loving and heartwarming atmosphere in the Moore residence.

Needless to say, Cayden felt very comfortable, and he was eager to get along with them.

During lunch, Cayden would keep serving Avery food, and he ended up piling up her plate. “Ery, you're too skinny.

You ought to eat more...” Whenever he said that, his eyes were filled with love and affection.

Blake and Alina noticed how natural Cayden looked when he served Avery food. It was as if he had done it a million

times before.

Having experienced a lifetime of ups and downs, Blake could tell that Cayden's feelings toward Avery were sincere.

As for Alina, she was initially worried about Avery and had thought a wealthy heir like Cayden wouldn't be the

committed and sincere type. Judging from his performance today, I can see that this man truly loves Avery.

However, I wouldn't make a hasty assessment of him. Men's love for women could be deceiving. In my case, my

man used to love me so dearly that every woman in Jetroina would be jealous of me. Once the love faded, he didn't

care about me anymore, regardless of how much I begged and gave in to him. I hope the kind and gentle Avery

wouldn't end up like me.

After lunch, Avery helped Alina with the dishes while Cayden played chess with Blake.

That night, Avery and her family stayed at Blake's, and they had a lovely dinner together.

Although Cayden and Blake were two generations apart, Cayden managed to get into Blake's good books with his

high emotional intelligence. Even Alina, who was doubtful of Cayden, ended up admiring his personality. Deep down,

Alina was happy with Avery's choice of being with Cayden.

Early the next morning, Cayden had something to deal with at work, so he had to rush back to the office. Avery also

needed to head toward the hospital to take care of Nina.

Blake was reluctant to watch them leave, but he knew they had things to attend to. Hence, he had no choice but to

see them out.

Before they left, Blake suddenly whipped out a monetary gift and gave it to Cayden. “Take this. According to our

family's tradition, the grandparents must give their granddaughters' husbands a monetary gift. This is my blessing

for you guys. Hence, you must take it.”

Cayden was stumped. Having been in the business industry for many years, my social circle is filled with high-

ranking and powerful people. I've met all kinds of people prior to this. Some were greedy, some were fake, and

some of them were cunning. Despite their differences, they had one thing in common. All they ever wanted was my

money. In fact, I've been giving out money all my life. No one has ever given me a monetary gift...
