Chapter 212 Alden’s Fury
Landon had no idea that his successful proposal had sent shockwaves through everyone around him.
If he’d known, he’d probably have bragged a bit more in the group chat, milking the moment for all it was worth.
Alyssa stared at her phone, a strange sense of unreality washing over her.
So, | really engaged, just like that?
She quietly unblocked Landon from her blacklist, and within seconds, a message pinged through.
Landon had been testing his luck, pinging her every few minutes to see if she’d freed him from digital exile.
When the message finally went through, a grin spread across his face.
Landon asked: [So, you finally let your husband out of the slammer?]
Alyssa typed: [Don’t get all mushy. We're not married yet.]
Landon playfully replied: [Feeling shy? Alright, I'll save it for after the wedding. | told my parents, and we're set
for tomorrow at the Prosperity Hotel. Wantto pick you up?]
Alyssa still wasn’t used to this-her usual sparring partner

Alyssa answered: [No need. I'll go with my grandpa.]
Landon replied: [Cool, see you tomorrow.]
Alyssa shut off her phone, leaving the chat mind still reeling.

Alden, meanwhile, was seething. The memory of Kaia and Lucien’s intimacy on the balcony had kept him up all
night, his anger burning like a slow fuse.
By lunchtime, even his parents noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
“Alden, you can’t just bury yourself in work,” Joanne said, her tone gentle but pointed. “Why don’t you take some
tto visit
Luna?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna had been abroad for nearly a month, and Joanne felt it wasn’t right to leave her completely ignored.
Alden gave a curt nod. “Got it.”
His eyes swept across the table to where Lucien and Kaia sat, lost in their intimate conversation, completely
ignoring Joanne’s remark. It was as if he didn’t exist.

His eyes darkened with resentment. “I'll head out the day after tomorrow,” he said, his voice flat.
Joanne’s face lit up.
If Alden was willing to make things work with Luna, that was better than anything.
There was no need to compete with Lucien over everything— especially since her son could never win.
Allen nodded approvingly. “Good. It'll do you good to check in on her.”
Lucien, wiping his hands with deliberate calm, nodded to Allen,
Zane, and Joanne.
“Enjoy your meal. We're heading out.”
Allen huffed, clearly annoyed. This brat, not giving his own nephew any respect.
“Go on, get going,” Allen said, waving them off. “You've got your own lives to live. Don’t worry about me.”
Lucien’s lips curved into a faint, teasing smile. “Dad, yesterday was for Elena’s welcome, not sgrand visit to
see you. Don’t read too much into it.”

Allen sighed, exasperated but amused.

Kaia flashed an awkward smile. “Allen, we'll catch you next
time.”
Lucien’s arm slid around her waist as they walked out, his touch possessive and unapologetic.
Alden’s gaze burned into Lucien’s hand, his jaw tight, as if he could will it away with sheer intensity.
Zane noticed his son’s slip and coughed lightly, pulling Alden back to reality.
Alden blinked, snapping out of it. “Grandpa, I'm done too. Got swork to handle at the office.”
Allen watched Alden’s retreating figure, his hurried steps betraying his agitation, and let out a soft hum.
He was getting old, longing for family harmony, but his grandson seemed determined to stir up trouble.
Shaking his head, Allen swallowed the reprimand on his tongue, letting it dissolve into a weary sigh.

Alden rolled down his window, his stare piercing through the glass, locked on Kaia.
Lucien’s eyes glinted coldly. “Drive,” he ordered Chris.
“Yes, Mr. Graves,” Chris replied, pulling away smoothly.
Kaia playfully scratched at Lucien’s chest, her voice leasing.. “Con, don’t be mad.”
Lucien glanced down at her, his gaze softening as it lingered on her flushed lips. “I'm not mad.”
Kaia laughed, seeing right through him. His jealousy was written all over his face, yet he wouldn't admit it.

Kaia huffed, turning to stare out the window, ignoring the charming rogue beside her.
Alyssa dragged Kaia out shopping, her mind still spinning from her sudden engagement.
“Kaia, cwithto look at wedding dresses,” she said, her voice tinged with nervous excitement.
As a first-tbride, Alyssa wasn’t about to settle for anything less than stunning.
She wanted to shine.
Kaia smiled, “Wantto ask Lucien about the boutique where | got mine? Their designs are gorgeous.”
Alyssa shook her head. “Nah, Uncle Lucien booked that place months in advance. You think I didn’t check?”
There was no way Landon had secretly arranged a dress for her that far ahead.
