Chapter 701 I Miss You

Avery dreamed the entire night.

In their dream, Avery and Cayden lay on a vast meadow, under budding willow trees, basking in the gentle warmth of the sunlight.

She nestled in his arms, caressing his handsome face, basking in the joy of a love lost and found again. She even playfully punched and hit him.

She alternated between tears and laughter, relentlessly questioning him, “Where on earth have you been all these years? Do you have any idea how much I've missed you? It was to the point of madness.”

He didn't utter a word, yet his handsome eyes reflected her frenzied image. His gaze was so passionate that it almost drowned her.

He passionately kissed her soft lips, whispering incessantly, “Avery, I miss you. I miss you.”

They were entwined with each other without any restraint. She could clearly feel his warmth and his soul. Everything belonged to her.

Just as he was about to take her clothes off, Avery's body heavily sank suddenly as a weight shattered her beautiful dream. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, only to meet a pair of clear eyes, strikingly similar to those of Cayden.

Cal was mischievously lying on her, his childish voice calling out to her, “Mommy, wake up, Mommy, wake up. Can you take Cal out to play today?”

Avery felt somewhat disheartened, as if she was still immersed in a dream and unwilling to wake up.

She gazed steadily at the baby, but her thoughts were drifting far away.

Seeing that his mother remained silent and didn't hug him like she used to, Cal started to feel unhappy.

The expression on Cal's face was particularly aggrieve. “Does Mommy not love Cal anymore? Why are you ignoring Cal?”

Avery immediately held his son in her arms while putting on a pretend fierce face. “Hmph! The witch is coming... The witch is going to eat you... Are you scared?”

“Oh no, I've been eaten by the wicked witch...” Cal exclaimed with a look of terror. Then, he collapsed softly, as if he had truly been devoured.

Avery held her son and laughed heartily.

Cal is truly a treasure and always makes me burst into laughter.

But soon, Cal got up. The little guy's fair and tender face turned towards Avery, and he spoke with a precocious tone, “Mommy, you've played this game countless times. It's so childish. Can we try something new? Now that I've played with you, can you take me to the amusement park?”

He was eagerly gazing at Avery.

In this unfamiliar land, there were no other children for him to play with. Coupled with the lack of freedom at home, the lively nature of the child was restrained. Therefore, he had a particular longing to go out and play.

Avery hesitated for a moment, gently stroking Cal's little head, and softly said, “The situation isn't suitable for us to go out right now. How about we wait some time, and then Mommy will take Cal out to

play, okay?”

She remembered the words repeatedly emphasized by Cayden last night. An assassin organization called Dark River might have set their sights on them. She was told not to go out unnecessarily. Otherwise, if they fell into the hands of Dark River, the consequences would be dire.

“Mom always says this, but she never keeps her word. Uncle Kendrick says that being honest is an important value in life.” The little one, grumbling in frustration, clutched Avery's fingers, trying to pull her up.

Despite his small size and strength, he exerted all the power he could muster trying to pull his mother. His tender little face turned beet red from the strain, yet he still couldn't budge Avery even a bit.

Avery looked at his pitiful little figure and couldn't help but laugh. “You little dummy!”

With a decisive move, Cal plopped down onto Avery's belly. His handsome little face puffed up as he turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Avery. “Hmph, Mommy is annoying. Cal won't talk to Mommy anymore!”

Avery looked at his son's proud yet awkward demeanor, and couldn't help but laugh. She cleared her throat on purpose and said loudly, “Mommy saw a new set of Transformers figurine yesterday. It was really beautiful, so I bought it. I was planning to give it to a certain little boy as a surprise. But it seems like he doesn't want it now, so I guess I'll return it later...”

Upon hearing “Transformers”, Cal's round eyes instantly lit up with mischief. He immediately turned his little head and adorably hugged Avery's neck, cooing, “Mommy, Cal loves you the most. You are my heart, my love, and you are my honey bun...”

Avery laughed heartily, then playfully pinched his delicate little nose. “You little imp, you've made Mommy happy again.”

She never expected her own son to say such sweet words to her.

This phrase was from a popular fantasy drama that Avery once followed.

When she saw the female lead whispering sweet nothings to the male lead then, she couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.

At that time, Cal saw his mother laughing inexplicably. Although he didn't understand why, he had a knack for remembering things at a glance. So, he kept those words in his heart, never imagining that he could use them on his mother one day.

“Mommy, can Cal have the Transformer toy? Cal really wants to play with it...” The little one seized the opportunity to plant a big kiss on Avery's face, and started to negotiate terms with her.

“You little rascal. You are already using sugar-coated word on Mommy at such a young age. What will happen when you grow up?” Avery pinched Cal's cheek, complaining about him, but her eyes were full of indulgence.

She got up from the bed and took out the latest Transformers toy from an old sandalwood cabinet nearby. She handed it to Cal and said, “Here, this is what Mommy bought for you.”

“Thank you, Mommy!” Cal joyfully took the toy and couldn't wait to open the packaging. “Wow, this is so cool!”

Looking at her son, who was happily playing with his Transformers toy, Avery asked, “Cal, your dad is coming back soon. Do you want to see him?”

From the moment Cal was born, he had never met Cayden. All his impressions of his father were conveyed to him through Avery's words.

Avery told Cal that his father was a great man, and a true hero.

Hence, Cal greatly admired Cayden.

However, Avery was worried that he might feel a sense of resistance when he met his father for the first time. What should I do then?

“Mommy, is the daddy who went to save the world and the Earth, coming back? Really? When can I see Daddy?” Surprisingly, Cal put down his beloved toy. His handsome little face was full of excitement upon hearing that his father was coming back.

Seeing Cal's reaction, Avery's somewhat nervous heart finally settled slightly. It seems that the little one really likes his father.

She was particularly looking forward to the moment when the three of them reunited.

...

Noon.

Vivian was at the hospital accompanying Sid. In the vast mansion, there were only a few people left including Avery and Heather.

When it was time for lunch, the butler had everything prepared for them. Avery, along with Cal and Heather, ate in the dining room.

Around them, a line of tall, fierce-looking bodyguards in black suits, stood guard.

Halfway through the meal, the maid who had been serving them, a pretty-faced woman, suddenly said something odd. “Mrs. Moore, it's time for you to meet your maker!”

Avery, who was halfway through feeding Cal, was about to ask her what she meant by that, when she saw the maid's kind face suddenly turn fierce.

To her horror, she discovered that the bodyguards in the dining room were suddenly collapsing to the ground one after another, as if they had been possessed...
