Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 113 A Consolation Prize

Kaia whispered softly, “Thank you.”

Lucien chuckled, his voice carrying an unmistakable tenderness. “10 minutes. I'll be right there.”

Tobias also cfor this occasion, along with Sally and Kimberly.

Shortly after arriving, Kimberly complained about the cold mountain air and wanted to go back down. Tobias had

no interest in staying either, so he told Kaia he’d wait for her in the rest area at the bottom of the mountain.

A light drizzle started falling as they made their way down.

“This is so annoying! Why did it suddenly start raining?” Kimberly whined.

Tobias watched Kimberly acting all moody, and his heart sank.

She doesn’t look like a refined young lady at all.

His frustrated mood shifted when he spotted a black figure in

the distance.

Lucien stood tall in a black suit, holding a black umbrella as he walked up the mountain path. He moved quickly,

disappearing from view within moments until he was just a black dot.

A crazy idea hit Tobias. He pulled out his phone and stared hard at the man’s back on the screen.

Change the clothes and hair, and wasn’t this the sguy as the man he just saw?

Could that really be Lucien?

“Tobias, | brought sdrinks. Would you like some?” Sally asked gently.

At that moment, Tobias was grinning like an idiot.

Sally looked puzzled. Today was the end of Claire’s mourning period, so no matter what, Tobias shouldn't be

smiling like that.

Even though Tobias didn’t necessarily have deep feelings for Claire, he usually followed basic etiquette and filial

duties.

What makes him this happy?

“Tobias?” Sally called out again.

Tobias snapped back to reality. “Hmm, what did you say?”

“Nothing, Tobias. Are you okay?” Sally asked, looking confused.

“I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine. What could be wrong?” Tobias smirked. “Stop overthinking everything. You should

spend your

tteaching Kimberly smanners instead. We can’t have her embarrassing herself again at the Graves

family wedding!”

Kimberly, who'd been dragged into this for no reason, was speechless.

Why is this my fault again?

The light drizzle was getting heavier. Kaia hadn't brought an umbrella, and the rain was soaking her hair. She

held up her purse to shield her head from the drops.

A dark figure cut through the rain on the blue stone steps, moving closer to Kaia. His black tailored suit gleamed

coldly in the misty downpour.

Long fingers gripped the umbrella handle, and behind the curtain of water falling from the rim, his face looked

sharp as a blade. Beneath thick lashes, his eyes held nothing but cold distance.

But his icy stare melted the moment he looked at Kaia, turning soft with unmistakable affection.

The large umbrella opened above her head, blocking out the pattering rain.

“Sorry, my flight was delayed. I'm late,” Lucien said softly.

Kaia paused. “How did you know | was here?

Lucien chuckled, “Before we get married, | should probably ask for Grandma's blessing first, don’t you think?”

He pressed the umbrella into her hands. “Hold this. | want to talk to Grandma too.”

Kaia watched as he stood in the rain, speaking seriously to the headstone. Then, he closed his eyes and seemed

to pray silently

for a moment.

When he stood up, he took the umbrella back from her. “Con. Let's head down.”

Kaia looked up at him. “What were you saying to Grandma just

now?”

Lucien let out a soft laugh. “I asked if she'd be willing to let her precious granddaughter marry me.”

“And she answered you?” Kaia’s eyebrow arched.

“She did. Grandma said we should get our marriage license

tomorrow.”

Kaia’s mouth twitched as she muttered under her breath, “You're the one who picked that timing, not Grandma.”

mad.

Kaia pressed her lips, looking conflicted. “We agreed to keep things private for now.”

She was the one who would decide when to go public.

Lucien chuckled softly and leaned down, bringing his face closer to hers. “Then how about a consolation prize?”

Kaia’s ears turned pink. “What kind of prize?”

Lucien drew out his words with a meaningful smile. “What do you think?”
