Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 436

436 /658

So it became a habit that the first word Lucian would say upon seeing Kiara was always "Eat!"

Kiara doted on Lucian like he was her own little treasure, naturally giving him whatever he wanted.

Now, seeing her adorable little nephew, the heaviness in Kiara's heart gradually melted away with the child's sweet voice.

She gently picked Lucian up, smiling softly as she said, "How about Auntie gets it for you in a little while, hmm?"

Lucian scrunched up his tiny brows.

By now, he could understand most of what adults said, so hearing this made him a bit unhappy. He pouted slightly but ultimately didn’t complain. Instead, he fixed his big, dark eyes—shiny like grapes—on Kiara and pleaded, "Want lots."

Kiara couldn’t resist his cuteness and nodded eagerly.

Seeing that Kiara’s mood seemed to have lifted, Ariana’s face slowly relaxed into a faint smile.

While playfully teasing her son, she turned to Kiara and said, "Actually, I already knew about this. Your aunt came by a few days ago and told me. I agreed."

Kiara froze in surprise.

Ariana continued gently, "But I wasn’t acting out of anger. Even if I was upset, it had absolutely nothing to do with you." Her voice was tender as she reached out and ruffled Kiara’s hair. Then she added, "So don’t let this make you sad or upset. I know you’re not that kind of person."

Truthfully, Ariana hadn’t expected Kiara to react this way.

She had guessed that Kiara, given her personality, wouldn’t accept it—but she hadn’t anticipated such a strong response. At this moment, Ariana couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Yet, at the same time, she sighed inwardly.

Kiara sniffled slightly, meeting Ariana’s gaze before murmuring in a low voice, "Before coming here, I already told Auntie... I would never fight you for the White family’s legacy. If they force me to, I’ll have no choice but to leave."

Looking at the stubborn Kiara, Ariana suddenly smiled.

With a gentle chuckle, she said, "Silly girl."

Kiara pursed her lips, fingers idly tugging at Lucian's little outfit, silent.

Lucian blinked at her in confusion, then his tiny brows furrowed as he yanked his clothes back with all his might. As if her IQ had suddenly plummeted, Kiara deliberately reached out again to playfully grab at the hem. Lucian, no match for her strength, soon had his big eyes welling up with misty tears—on the verge of bursting into loud sobs at any second.

Finally, Kiara’s mood lifted.

She grinned mischievously at Lucian before letting go of his clothes—better not push the little one to actual tears.

Ariana: "..."

Watching Kiara’s instant regression to the mental age of a three-year-old, Ariana’s eye twitched in speechless exasperation.
