Chapter 86 Lucien Wanted Them to Get Married

His lips pressed into a thin line as he handed her a shopping bag.

“This is for you. The dress you liked the other da

Kaia caught a glimpse of purple fabric inside and frowned. “You're givingthe dress Luna didn’t want?”

Alden shifted uncomfortably. “It’s brand new! Kaia, | bought this one specifically for you. She never wore it!”

Kaia’s lips twitched into a sarcastic smile.

“Then | definitely can’t take it. Matching outfits aren’t the problem-it’s who looks worse that gets embarrassed.

“If your precious little sister gets outshone bylater, she’ll probably blme. | might not have much money,

but I can afford my dress. Just save it!”

For days now, Alden couldn’t get the image of Kaia in that dress out of his head. He insisted stubbornly, “But you

really liked it, didn’t you?”

Kaia glanced at him with cool indifference. “It doesn’t matter how much I liked it. If Luna wants it, | don’t want it

anymore.”

She didn’t want the clothes, and she didn’t want him either.

Alden stood frozen in place, completely crushed.

“Kaia, Luna and | aren’t what you think we are.”

Kaia let out a bitter laugh. “Oh really? Just innoc siblings, then?”

She sneered, “Would innocent siblings use each other's birthdays as passwords? Would a brother's photo gallery

be filled with pictures of his sister? Would a brother stand up his own fiancée on their wedding day just to have

dinner with his sister?”

She looked at Alden with amused disbelief. “Look, if you want to lie to me, fine. But don't lie to yourself.

Honestly, I'd love for you and Luna to get together already. At least then you'd stop bothering me.”

Kaia didn’t look back at Alden. She turned and walked off in the opposite direction.

Alden stared after her, feeling lost. He glanced down at the dress in his hand and then tossed it into the nearest

trash can without

hesitation.

She didn’t want it. There was no point in keeping it.

What Kaia didn’t know was that, from a distance, a pair of

intense eyes had been watching the entire scene until both of them were out of sight.

Lucien glanced at his phone and then spoke calmly, “Cancel my dinner plans tonight. I'm going hfor dinner.”

Allen was thrilled to hear Lucien would be coming back, and he made sure everyone else chtoo.

“Lucien,” he said with a hearty laugh, “you’ve been gone so long. Work really keeping you that busy?”

Lucien smiled, “It’s only been a week, Dad. I'll make more time

to chfrom now on.”

Zane chuckled and added, “Letguess. You weren't coming hbecause you've been busy with your

girlfriend, right?”

Lucien seemed to be in a good mood. He casually shifted his gaze to his nephew, Alden, who was seated directly

across the table.

“You're really worried about me? Maybe you should be asking Alden when he and Luna are finally getting

married.”

Alden’s head snapped up, surprised by the sudden mention.

He locked eyes with Lucien’s, wondering why he was suddenly

taking such an interest in his love life.

Luna’s hand tightened around her fork.

Does he support the idea ofand Alden getting

arried?

If he did, then even if Alden kept hesitating, their marriage would be inevitable.

But Alden didn’t wanna get married—it wasn’t that he hated marriage, but that he couldnt bring himself to

marry Luna, who was like a sister to him.

“Uncle Lucien, Luna and I... we're not what you think.”

It was the sline he always found himself explaining.

Lucien raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Is that so?”

“Then what exactly are you? You're engaged, aren’t you? Or are you trying to make our family look like fools in

New York again, Alden?”

That last part hit hard.

The first time, of course, had been when a wedding turned into an engagement party for his grandson and

granddaughter.

If Alden backed out again, the elite families in New York would never let them live it down.

After work, Kaia lay on her couch, staring at the ceiling when her phone lit up.

It was Lucien.

She let the first ring go. After what happened yesterday, she didn’t want to talk to him. She didn’t know how to

face him.

Then the doorbell rang.

She blinked.

Who would cover this late?

Her phone screen lit up again with Lucien’s name.

Kaia paused for a beat and then finally picked up.

“Hello?”

Lucien’s deep, smooth voice cthrough the line, warm and unhurried.

“It’s me. Open the door.”
