Avery wanted to tell the unhinged Cayden that she would not get pregnant from being intimate with him

previously.

Avery wanted to tell the unhinged Cayden that she would not get pregnant from being intimate with him

previously.

However, the pocket square in her mouth prevented her from saying anything.

Furthermore, she remembered that Cayden had done research on his phone and consulted an online

doctor. The doctor said there was a possibility of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex, but it was

unlikely.

Still, there was always a chance.

Avery began to panic as she thought about that.

She had been so exhausted recently. Furthermore, her mind was a mess, and she could not recall

whether she had taken emergency contraception.

Avery remembered buying the contraceptive and putting it in her bag.

However, she could not remember when or whether she had taken it.

Avery had never feared unplanned pregnancy as much as she did at the moment. It would be torture

and sin to get pregnant with Cayden's child now.

Suddenly, she could not hold back her sadness.

Cayden saw her eyes welling up with tears before the tears flowed from her eyes. Despite his anger,

Cayden still could not bear to see Avery sad. Thus, he asked gently, “Why are you crying?”

The sternness on his face receded gradually.

Avery kept staring at him unblinkingly until Cayden kissed her gently on her eyelid, causing her to close

her eyes instinctively.

She felt the warmth of his lips as he kissed away her tears. Then, he trailed kisses down her face,

kissing away the tears that flowed down her cheeks.

Cayden's voice grew a little hoarse. “What will you have me do? You came into my world only to leave

again. You left so suddenly and without warning. No man would be able to take it, you know?”

Avery could not bring herself to speak but kept crying. She did not have a choice.

“I like you. I have liked you since that year in that small town. However, I believe love is different. I can't

find any way to control my possessiveness for you after falling in love with you.” Cayden articulated

each word slowly and clearly. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke.

However, Avery continued to look down and refused to let him see her expression.

Cayden remained silent for a long time before sighing. “Forget it.”

He let go of her and turned around to light a cigarette.

Then, he sat with his back facing her and took a few drags of the cigarette. The addictive taste of the

nicotine did not make him feel better. Instead, he felt worse than before.

Avery did not say anything on the journey back. At the same time, Cayden remained silent too.

Once the car arrived at the residential area of her rented apartment, Avery got out of the car. Her eyes

were dry and painful. At the same time, she reminded herself to never turn around to look at him.

Blake was home. “Ery, you're back.”

“Yes.” Avery nodded and went into her bedroom.

Blake was watching the news on the television.

Then, Avery made dinner for Blake before heading out to meet Brodie. She prepared barbecue spare

ribs and a vegetable dish. They were all Blake's favorite.

Then, Avery brought the food to the table and said, “Grandpa, since your teeth are healthy, you should

have more of the barbecue spare ribs you love.”

Blake accepted the plate from her and gave a sorrowful sigh. “Sometimes, I could not help but think it is

not good to live too long. I feel like a burden to you now that I am old...”

Avery hurriedly comforted Blake, “How can you be a burden to me? I will only feel happy with you by

my side. Furthermore, having meals and watching TV series with you makes me feel secure and

reminds me that I have a family too.”

Her eyes were full of tears after she finished speaking. She did not want Blake to see her crying, so

she escaped into the kitchen. “I think I forgot to turn off the oven's power supply. Let me go check it.”

Later, she went on a date with Brodie. He had booked a table at an expensive place.

Avery felt a little anxious after sitting down and kept glancing around.

Brodie seemed to have read her thoughts and comforted her, “We can come here only once, or we can

come here again if you wish. I just want you to enjoy a date like any other woman in love. I assure you

that I am not always this extravagant.”

Avery did not expect Brodie to explain that way.

After dinner, they proceeded to order dessert. Dessert was the key highlight of that place.

However, the waitress said, “My apologies, sir. The pastry chef had an urgent family matter and had

gone home. So, the dessert you asked for is no longer available for tonight. Would you like to change

to another type of dessert?”

Switching to another type of dessert would defeat the purpose of dining there.

Brodie did not plan to be romantic and was not a romantic person. However, since a lady was willing to

be with him and live an ordinary life with him in the future, he wanted to give her all the nice things

within his power.

In the future, when others talked about the city's most famous dessert, his wife, Avery, would not feel

inferior and could say proudly, “My husband and I have been there and tried the dessert.”

“When I made the booking, I was informed that the pastry chef would be here.” Brodie found it

unbelievable. He did not expect to hear about a pastry chef's sudden absence in such a high-end

restaurant.

Then, he glanced at the neighboring table. They had only arrived a little earlier than us. Why do they

have that dessert? How can the pastry chef leave at such bad timing?

“It's all right. Any dessert is fine. Furthermore, I'm not too fond of something sweet,” Avery said, as she

did not want Brodie to feel uncomfortable.

The waitress insisted that the pastry chef was not around and kept smiling as she apologized to Brodie.

Therefore, Brodie had no choice but to switch to another dessert.

After leaving the dessert shop, Brodie drove the car to send Avery home.

They had officially begun dating.

“Would you like to meet my parents and elder sister?” Brodie asked as they were on the way back to

her home.

“I'll leave it to you. If you think the timing is right, I will meet your family with you.” Avery felt that

meeting his parents did not mean they had to get married soon.

Moreover, she felt his parents should meet her earlier. Brodie was brilliant and humble. If his parents

believed she was unworthy of him, she could end this relationship sooner and not disrupt Brodie's

bright future.

They chatted all the way back.

Brodie followed the directions in the navigation system and stopped the car at the entrance to her

residential area. He sounded reluctant to part ways. “We are here.”

Avery unfastened her seatbelt and thanked him before getting out of the car.

“I'll bring you to that dessert shop again to have that dessert,” Brodie said apologetically.

Avery nodded and did not say much before entering the residential area.

Once home, she turned on the light and called out, “Grandpa?”

However, no one answered her.

“Grandpa?” Avery put down her bag and went to Blake's bedroom to look for him. He was not there

either.

She searched the whole house but still could not find him. Thus, Avery called Blake on the phone, but a

robot voice sounded. “Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment...”

Suddenly, someone pressed the doorbell.

Avery thought it was Blake returning from a walk downstairs.

However, she opened the door and saw it was a young man in a uniform.

“Good evening. Here's a dessert delivery for you.” The young man presented an exquisite box politely.

Avery was stunned.

Dessert? Who sent this? Looking at the logo on the dessert box, Avery instantly recognized it was from

the dessert shop she and Brodie had gone to just now.

Didn't the pastry chef have to leave due to an emergency at home? Who made this dessert? Most

importantly, where is Grandpa?

Without thinking much about the dessert, Avery rushed downstairs to search for the missing Blake.
