Wedding My Ex's Uncle (Kaia and Alden) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Congratulations

Alden looked right into Kaia’s eyes, like he was trying to read her mind.

But what he saw crushed him. Her pink lips curved into a mean smile, and then she spoke in an ice–cold voice.

“Nope. Not jealous, no hidden agenda. You two are just… too annoying.” Kaia smirked. “Alden, you’re getting married in a month. Show some dignity and stop showing up at my door.”

Alden felt startled. “You already know about that?” Then, he thought of Alyssa. “Did Alyssa tell you?”

Kaia sneered. “No, actually, as soon as you set the date, your precious Luna came right over to tell me herself. Congratulations on getting what you wanted. And Congratulations to me too.”

Congratulations on finally getting out of this mess.

Alden’s face darkened. “Kaia, what’s that supposed to mean?” Her casual comments shattered his confidence piece by piece.

“Oh, shouldn’t I say that?” Kaia raised her eyebrow. “She’s the one you loved all these years, isn’t it? Now you guys can finally be together. I should be happy for you.”

“Kaia, shut up about that. Stop acting all grown up about it,

okay?” Alden growled.

Kaia’s eyes got narrow, and she smiled like she didn’t care,

“Who’s acting? By the way, I got a boyfriend now. So, congrats to you, and congrats to me.”

“What?” Alden’s brain seemed to slow down. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Kaia smirked. “I said I have a boyfriend now.”

The photo from a few days ago flashed through Alden’s mind. He grabbed her wrist and said through gritted teeth, “Kaia, are you really going to throw yourself away on some old man?

“Are you seriously happy being his sugar baby? Is it about the money? I’ve got plenty of that too. Why won’t you just ask me for what you need?”

The sharp crack of a slap echoed through the air as Kaia’s palm connected with Alden’s face.

Her eyes turned ice cold. “Alden, don’t you dare project your dirty thoughts onto me.”

She stepped back, her voice steady and final. “I’ve told you countless times since we broke up. I don’t love you anymore. You can be with whoever you want. That’s your business.”

Her next words came out like a warning. “But if you harass me

again, I’m calling the police.”

She turned and walked away without looking back. She wasn’t lying. Reality had worn away whatever love she’d once felt. Now, she only wanted revenge.

Alden stood there on the sidewalk, stunned. It felt like his heart was being crushed in someone’s grip. He could barely breathe.

How could she just stop loving me? How is it possible? She used to love me so much!

He’d completely forgotten why he’d come to see her in the first place. All he could think about was her dating someone else, some older guy who wasn’t even better than him.

Jealousy ate away at him like poison. He was the one who was jealous, not her.

Alden left feeling completely lost, while Kaia went back to her apartment feeling nothing but irritation.

She hadn’t brought her phone downstairs. When she saw the screen lighting up on her nightstand, she picked it up to check.

It showed 10 missed calls and several messages.

Lucien: [The bed arrives next week.]

Lucien: [Want to try it out?]

Lucien: [Asleep? Or are you mad? I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just that we’ll both be sleeping in this bed from now on.]

Lucien: [Are you really angry?]

Lucien: [I’m sorry. If I upset you, I apologize.]

Lucien: [Kaia, pick up, please.]

Kaia stared at the messages, feeling something she couldn’t quite put into words. This version of Lucien seemed so much like a guy trying to win back his girlfriend.

She’d never thought of herself as Lucien’s girlfriend though. She knew exactly what this was between them. They were both getting what they needed from each other.

Lucien treated her right and took good care of her. But she already went through this whole thing before–catching feelings, falling hard, loving someone with everything, just to get tossed aside.

That hurt way too much, so this time, she decided to put herself first.

Kaia wasn’t in the mood to reply tonight. She pulled the covers over her head and went to sleep.

Lucien just kept staring at his phone, totally lost. He waited for a

long time, but no reply came.

Well. She’s probably asleep.

Landon was half–asleep when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and let out a small sound of annoyance. “Hey there, Lucien. What’s going on now?”
