The CEO Gets What He Wants

At night, Avery wanted to stay in the ward and accompany Nina. But Nina chased her away.

Nina said that she could press the call bell to summon a nurse if she needed anything, so Avery didn't need to

spend the whole day with her.

Moreover, Zachary and Rory were still young. They were at the age where they needed their mother's company. If

Avery stayed in the hospital, Nina was worried that the children would miss her.

On top of that, Avery had been receiving incessant calls from Cayden. In the end, she had no choice but to return

home.

As soon as the exhausted Avery stepped into the mansion, she realized something was amiss.

She had a bizarre feeling, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.

She opened the door to her bedroom and was stunned by the scene before her eyes.

Countless beautiful, lovely flowers filled up the space within.

The wall in the middle was covered with colorful balloons of different shapes and sizes.

Pink veils were fluttering in the surroundings, exuding a pastoral vibe. It was a refreshing and dreamy sight.

On top of the table was an exquisite cake.

But what stood out most was the glittering words written on it: Happy Birthday, Mommy. We Love You!

Before Avery could compose herself from the surprise, two adorable children popped out from behind the wall

decorated with balloons.

Each of them had a huge stuffed toy in their hands. The toys were almost the same height as them.

Heaving the stuffed animals, they walked over to Avery and said in unison, “Happy birthday, Mommy!”

Avery didn't expect this at all.

Putting a hand over her mouth, she calmed herself down for a while. Then she took the stuffed animals and planted

passionate kisses on her children's foreheads.

“Thank you for the surprise, Sweethearts,” Avery said, sounding a little emotional.

In all her adult years, no one had ever remembered her birthday.

Back then, she had always spent this special day on her own.

Long, long ago, her grandfather was the only one who remembered her birthday, and the man used to cook her

some eggs to celebrate her birthday.

After growing up and leaving her grandfather's side, no one else remembered her birthday since then.

She was twenty-four years old now, and she was blissful from the bottom of her heart since she had her children

with her.

Zachary's stuffed animal was an innocent-looking brown bear.

Meanwhile, Rory gave her mother a cute, spotted deer.

Avery put the stuffed toys next to her bed.

This was her first time receiving gifts from her children. Hence, the joy of being a mother overwhelmed her.

Zachary and Rory soon nestled in her arms, seemingly reluctant to leave.

Avery was at a loss at that.

Since she just came back from the hospital and hadn't washed up, she was afraid she would spread the germs to

them.

Children's immunity systems weren't as great as those of adults, after all.

“Sweethearts, I just went to the hospital today to visit Aunt Nina. I'm dirty. Let me take a shower first. Then I'll

celebrate with you, okay?”

Nodding, Zachary and Rory loosened their grips.

After Avery went to the bathroom, Zachary patted the suit on him and adjusted his bow tie. “Rory, what do you

think of my look today? Am I handsome?” he asked softly.

“Yes! You're the most handsome. You're even ten times more good-looking than Daddy,” Rory praised.

Rory was convinced that she knew about aesthetic judgment. In her heart, Cayden was her ultimate idol. Though

she felt that Cayden was extremely easy on the eyes, she thought Zachary was the most handsome.

Hearing his sister's compliment, Zachary blushed. “You look great too, just like the little princess from fairytales.”

Rory was flattered.

She smugly ran over to the mirror in the corner of the room and admired herself. She even made a few poses that

she thought were cute.

“Zachary, we are stunning! Aunt Nina said that it's because Daddy and Mommy have good genes that we have

good looks. When I grow up, I want to find an attractive husband too. If I find someone ugly, then my children will

be ugly. I don't want that to happen.”

Rory then lay on the couch and rested her chin on her palm. Shaking her fair legs, she was starting to worry about

her future as she thought about it.

Zachary sat next to her and said, “Don't worry, Rory. I'll make sure your future husband suits you. Not only must he

be handsome, but he also needs to have a good personality. He needs to get my approval before you can be in a

relationship with him, okay?”

“Okay, Zachary. You're such a good brother. Promise me that you'll evaluate the guys I come across in the future!

Pinky swear!”

The innocent Rory outstretched her little pinkie and linked it with Zachary's.

This pretty girl had yet to know that she'd be leading a difficult love life someday because of what she said that day.

Because of her brother's interference, her future suitor would have to go through a lot of suffering just to be with

her.

After a while, Avery was done with her shower, and she had light makeup on. Her birthday celebration was

prepared in such a grand manner. On top of that, the twins even dressed themselves up beautifully. She just had to

have makeup on. Moreover, she wanted to show Cayden her most comfortable self.

But where was Cayden?

Avery was a little confused. It seemed like she hadn't seen him since she entered the mansion.

Despite that, she wasn't worried that Cayden would forget her birthday.

He had prepared the surprise for her, after all. Perhaps he was caught up with something that made him unable to

come home yet.

After she was done, her children pounced on her one after another.

With a smile on her face, the young mother held her son in her left arm and her daughter in the other. Under the

warm light, she stared at her angelic children like it was never going to be enough.

“Sweethearts, where is your daddy?”

“Hehe...” Rory rubbed her head against her mother's neck. Revealing her perfect teeth, she said, “Mommy, after

Daddy had finished setting up the place, he said he had something to do. He asked us to wait for you at home. He'll

be back soon, so we don't have to call him.”

Avery stopped stroking their hair and hugged them tighter. “All right. We'll wait for him together, then...”

“Sure!” The children nodded obediently.

Smelling the fresh fragrance lingering on Avery's body, Zachary and Rory were enjoying their mother's tender

embrace.

All of a sudden, the door opened.

Cayden appeared in front of Avery, holding a huge bouquet of alluring roses that were airfreighted. He had frost all

over his face, looking travel-worn.

Nevertheless, with his delicate brows, sharp nose, and thin lips, he was still drop-dead handsome.

Though he had frost on his face at the moment, it wasn't affecting his distinguished aura. He was so dazzling that it

was difficult to ignore his presence despite just standing there.
