Lucien shot a wary glance at the approaching girls and shouted, “Stay back, ladies. I'm a married man, and my

wife gets jealous. I'd rather not have to explain this later.”

The girls froze, their faces a mix of surprise and embarrassment.

“Uh... we must've gotten the wrong guy,” one stammered. “We thought you were skind of celebrity and just

wanted an autograph.”

With that, they scurried off, cheeks burning.

They had just thought he looked familiar-maybe a movie star

or model-and figured it wouldn't hurt to try their luck.

If he were someone famous, that autograph could be worth something.

But instead, they'd stumbled into a comedy of errors.

Sure, he was handsome, but that level of self-importance? Kind of a turnoff.

Nearby, a few onlookers stifled giggles, clearly amused by the

scene.

Kaia jogged back, grabbing her bag from Lucien’s arm. “Come

As she glanced around, she noticed that even more people were now eyeing them curiously.

“Here, sweetheart,” Lucien murmured, his eyes soft in the theater's dim light. He held out the popcorn bucket,

playfully offering her a piece.

In the darkness, she could barely make out his features, but she smiled and accepted his gesture with quiet

pleasure.

As the theater darkened for the pre-movie ads, the chatter of a couple nearby drifted over.

“Babe, did you catch that guy earlier? He's hilarious! Sgirls thought he was a celebrity and asked for an

autograph, and he just bellowed, ‘Stay back, ladies. I'm a married man, and my wife gets jealous!" I'm dying!”

“Hah, yeah, | heard it too! His wife would kill him if she knew he was painting her as the jealous villain. Sweetie,

I'm done envying other people’s handshusbands-you’re normal, and that’s plenty.”

Kaia’s cheeks flushed hot, a mix of amusement and

mortification.

Lucien stayed quiet, his expression carefully neutral.

Kaia shot him a suspicious look, lowering her voice to a whisper.

“That guy they're talking about... that wasn't you, was it?”

Lucien coughed, feigning calm. “Me? No way, honey. I'd never slander you like that. Not a chance!”

“Here, have more popcorn. Movie's starting,” he added quickly, shoving a handful toward her to dodge the topic.

After the movie, Kaia was still stewing, her mood a bit sour.

“Lucien, could you not be so full of yourself all the time?”

Lucien’s face was the picture of innocence. “Me? Honey, I'm not like that. Those girls cat me, and | had no

clue what they wanted. What if they were trying to scamor something? Then you'd really get the wrong

idea.”

His sharp brows softened, his fingers gently tracing circles over the back of her hand, coaxing her with a tender

sincerity that melted her defenses.

Kaia sighed. Fine. His only flaw is a touch of vanity-hardly a dealbreaker.

That night, as his body wrapped around her tightly in bed, Kaia’s eyes welled up with frustration.

She had almost forgotten his other major flaw-his insatiable libido.

Damn him and his endless stamina. This one fault was enough to overshadow all his virtues.

Kaia was tempted to give Lucien the cold shoulder for a couple of days, but they had dinner plans at the Graves

Manor that evening.

This time, Lucien stuck to her side, his hand firmly clasped. around hers, ensuring Alden didn’t get a chance to

pester her.

Joanne, with a smirk that didn’t reach her eyes, chimed in, “Kaia, I'm surprised to see you here. With your father

in the hospital, | figured you'd be too distraught to eat.”

Kaia’s smile was polite but her words sharp. “Joanne, that’s an odd thing to say. Someone in the family falling ill

is bad enough -should | starve myself to prove my devotion?”

Lucien’s patience with Joanne was visibly thin. “If you're so bored, Joanne, maybe nudge Alden to give you a

grandchild. That'd keep you busy, so you wouldn’t need to meddle in other people's lives.”

Joanne’s face flushed with embarrassment, her composure cracking.

That was a low blow.

Lucien had exiled her son’s wife overseas. Where was Alden supposed to find someone to have a baby with?

Her eyes reddened with indignation. “Well, Lucien, why don’t you let Luna cback?”

Lucien’s response was cool, laced with mockery. “Joanne, I'm not stopping you from chasing her abroad. But if

you want to bring her back? That's not going to happen.”

Joanne deflated, her defiance crumbling.

Lucien’s heart was stone when he chose it to be.

The dinner at the Graves Manor was to welcAlyssa’s mother, Elena Jones, back to town.

Though Alyssa’s father had passed years ago, Elena always made a point to visit Allen whenever she was in the

country.

Elena arrived last, laden with bags, her presence vibrant and commanding.

“Allen, it's been months! You're looking sharper than ever,” she said with a warm laugh.

Allen chuckled, his eyes crinkling, “Oh,
