Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 114 Second Thoughts

Kaia knew exactly what Lucien meant. She just hadn’t expected bim to show this playful, roguish side of himself.

She decided to stop being coy. Closing her eyes, she leaned in to kiss his cheek.

Lucien’s deep eyes fixed on her pink lips, and in that split

second before contact, he tilted his head and offered his own lips instead.

The warm sensation on her mouth made Kaia’s eyes fly open in panic. “You-"

Lucien pulled back with perfect timing, running his thumb along the corner of his mouth. “Thanks. | really like

this prize.”

Kaia huffed in annoyance and marched down with his black

umbrella.

Lucien watched with a smile. “Damn it. She's so cute.”

Tomorrow, he'd officially be a married man.

At the bottom of the mountain, Kaia found Tobias and the others still waiting. “Dad, you guys go ahead. | drove

myself.”

Tobias fixed his intense gaze on Kaia. “You finished?”

“Mm,” Kaia responded coolly.

He didn’t miss her flushed cheeks.

Is it from rushing down the mountain, or something else?

He wanted to know, but he couldn't ask with Sally and Kimberly standing right there.

“You're heading back to the Domont Villa?” Tobias asked.

“Yeah.”

Tobias nodded. “Good. Stay a bit longer then. I'll cback after | drop Sally off at home.”

Kimberly's lips twitched. She hated how Tobias talked like this -as if she and Sally were outsiders while he and

Kaia were the real family.

Kimberly glared at Kaia in frustration.

Kaia smiled to herself with quiet contempt. “Sure thing, Dad. I'll head out now.”

“Drive safe.” Tobias acted like the perfect caring father.

Kaia only found it ridiculous.

Back at the Domont Villa, Kaia found herself drawn to Claire's photo again. She reached out to touch it, feeling a

wave of emotion wash over her.

Sue saw Kaia return and knew they’d been visiting Claire on the mountain. “Ms. Domont, you're back!” she said

warmly.

“Sue, I'm pretty hungry. Do we have anything to eat?” Kaia smiled.

“Of course! | made soup this morning just in case you cback hungry. Should | get you a bowl?”

Kaia beamed, “Sounds good, Sue. Thanks.”

After Claire’s mourning period ended, she wouldn't be spending much tat the villa anymore. Especially once

she got the marriage license with Lucien.

She headed to Tobias’ study to find her documents. Her address was still linked to Tobias, so after getting the

marriage license, she'd find tto change it.

All the documents were kept in the desk drawer in Tobias’ study. And before long, she noticed a yellowed

notebook in the drawer that looked familiar. When she opened it and saw the handwriting, her eyes widened in

shock.

This was her mother’s diary.

[April 5th.]

[Tobias and | got married today. We had dinner with the family, and | feel so happy. My only regret is that Dad

and my brother didn’t come. -Lillian.]

[September 9th.]

[I'm pregnant! Tobias is thrilled. He says he hopes this one’s a boy, and then we can have a girl next. That way,

when we're old, the big brother can look out for his little sister. -Lillian.]

[October 10th.]

[For the first time, | understand what despair feels like.]

[I don’t know what to do. | asked the doctor if | could terminate the pregnancy, but he said if | do, it'll be very

hard to get pregnant again.]

[I never thought Tobias would cheat on me.]

[This is ridiculous! | hurt my own family for this man, and he goes and cheats on me!]

[I don’t know what to do, baby. If I get rid of you, will you blme?]

Kaia’s blood ran cold as she read those words. Her face went

pale in an instant.

Tobias had been cheating during the pregnancy.

She thought about her mother’s face in her memories-always sad, always withdrawn. The realization hit her like

a knife to the heart.

After Lillian died, Tobias married Sally just three months later. And he'd been cheating all along.

Lillian hadn't died from poor health-she’d died from

heartbreak and emotional exhaustion.

Tobias’ voice drifted up from downstairs. “Kaia-"

When Kaia didn’t respond, he turned to Sue. “Sue, have you seen Kaia?"

“Mr. Graves, | think Ms. Domont is upstairs,” Sue replied.

quick. | need to get back to the law firm.”

Tobias didn’t notice her change in attitude. He just looked

excited as he asked, “Was that Lucien | saw earlier? | caught a glimpse of someone who looked just like him!”

Kaia felt a cold laugh rise in her throat.

So he had seen him.

She watched the barely contained joy on Tobias’ face, her eyes turning ice-cold.

“Yes, it was him. What if | told you we're getting our marriage license tomorrow?” Kaia said.

“Really?” Tobias’ voice cracked slightly.

“Dad, I'm having second thoughts. 20% for wedding gift wouldn't work. Shouldn't Mrs. Graves get at least 30%

of the

shares?”
