Chapter 155 He’s Just Too Perfect

Lucien stripped away that polished, gentlemanly image himself, and beneath it all was nothing but raw, undeniable desire.

Kaia’s mind went blank from the intensity of his kiss, and all she could think was that things had gone from zero to a hundred so fast, she was barely holding on.

At the very moment when everything was about to boil over, Lucien suddenly slammed the brakes. He let go of her, his voice rough and hoarse. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Kaia stared blankly at the ceiling, light-headed and struggling to breathe. “It’s fine…”

Lucien tugged at his tie, rolled off the bed, and turned away without looking back. “Get some rest.”

With her eyes still clouded and lashes trembling, Kaia asked, “Where are you going?”

“To my room,” Lucien replied, his voice tight with restraint. “I’m going to take a shower and get some sleep.”

Then, with a few long strides, he left the main bedroom so quickly that Kaia barely had time to process it.

That’s it? Just like that?

Kaia reached for her phone and texted Alyssa: [Hey, have you ever heard anything about Lucien having… any issues?]

Alyssa, who had been replaying the proposal video on loop, practically squealed when she got the message from the woman of the hour.

She replied: [You’re still awake? I can’t believe you’ve got

enough energy to send me a text! Uncle Lucien’s proposal was insane. I was even fangirling through the screen. How are you feeling right now?]

Kaia stared at her phone, speechless for a second. She texted back: [Don’t get the wrong idea. He went to sleep in the guest room.]

Alyssa replied: [Huh? Guest room? Kaia, are you serious?]

Kaia caught herself nibbling her lip, still not sure what to make

of it all.

Honestly, it did seem like Lucien was into her. Lucien stood up for her without a second thought in front of the Graves family. Someone like him, always so untouchable, had actually gone all out with that proposal, doing whatever he could to win her over –and he never missed a chance to pull her in for a kiss.

But then again, Kaia felt that if he really liked her, sometimes he held himself back so much, she almost wondered if something was wrong with him. He was just too perfect-someone that

flawless, she couldn’t believe she’d somehow ended up with him.

After thinking it through, Kaia deleted the first message she had sent Alyssa and sent a new one instead: [It’s nothing. It’s getting late. You should go to bed.]

But Alyssa responded right away: [Hello? Are you okay? Kaia, why won’t you answer my question? Are you and Uncle Lucien sleeping in separate rooms?]

Kaia locked her screen without even reading the rest.

She felt that even if Lucien really did have some kind of condition, it didn’t matter. As long as he kept treating her this well, she could live with it. She would treat him with the same respect she gave her elders, without ever looking down on him.

Meanwhile, in the guest bedroom, Lucien came out of the bathroom in a robe, having just finished relieving himself. His phone buzzed on the table. He had kept it off the whole evening and had only just turned it back on.

He answered the call, saying, “Hey, Dad.”

“Finally decided to answer your phone, huh? Do you know how many times I called?” Allen’s voice crackled with irritation.

“Just turned it on,” Lucien replied with a measured laugh. “Wasn’t intentionally ignoring you.”

“Is that so? Listen, I dropped by your place today. Since when do you sleep in the guest room?” Allen’s tone dripped with suspicion.

Lucien’s voice turned sharp. “Dad, what gives you the right to go snooping through my house?”

“I didn’t snoop. Your door was open, and I saw. What, are you addicted to playing the gentleman now? Not planning to give me a grandkid anymore?”

“No need to rush. After the wedding, you’ll get your wish.”

“Well, hurry it up then,” Allen urged.

Lucien replied, “Got it. In a few days, I’ll set up a dinner with you and Kaia’s father so we can lock it in. And by the way, Dad, you still haven’t given your wedding gift. Don’t be stingy.”

That caught Allen off guard.

This ungrateful brat! Since when have I ever been stingy?

Allen grumbled, “Alright, I’m hanging up. Another minute talking to you and my blood pressure is gonna spike.”

The next morning, Lucien noticed Kaia giving him a strange look. “What, do I have something on my face?”

Kaia shook her head. “No.” After taking a bite of toast, she asked carefully, “Lucien, how often do you get a check-up?”

Lucien felt even more puzzled. “I do a full physical every year. Don’t worry, I’m in good health.”

Kaia gave a small nod. “Okay.”

Even though the thought weighed on her, she figured it was better not to bring it up. If she said the wrong thing, she might end up hurting Lucien’s pride, and that wouldn’t help anyone.

Lucien said, “My dad wants to go over the wedding details tonight at Prosperity Hotel. Do you want to invite your father

too?”

Kaia nodded. “Sure. I’ll call him later.”

Truthfully, she didn’t think it mattered whether Tobias showed up or not. Some people might dream of that moment when a father walks his daughter down the aisle and hands her off to the groom. But she had stopped hoping for anything like that a long time ago.

Lucien noticed that she clearly didn’t want to talk about Tobias anymore, so he let it go.

That evening, Kaia arrived at the Prosperity Hotel’s VIP suite with Lucien by her side.

Tobias showed up shortly after them, carrying a few antiques. With a fawning smile, he offered them to Lucien. “Just a small gift for Mr. Allen Graves. Kaia called me last minute, so I didn’t have time to prepare much.”

Lucien gave the items a quick glance and nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Tobias Domont.”

Tobias froze for a second at the cold response, but he didn’t dare show offense. Lucien held all the power, after all.

It took less than five minutes for Allen to get there, and just like that, everyone had gathered.

Looking at Tobias, Allen couldn’t help but feel how much things had changed. The last time they had sat down to talk, it had been about Allen’s grandson’s wedding-now, the conversation

was about his own son.

Allen looked away from him and turned to Kaia with a warm smile. “Kaia, I swear, every time I see you, you look skinnier. Don’t starve yourself just to fit into some diet.”

With a soft smile, Kaia replied, “No need for such formality. You’re family now that you’ve married Lucien.”

Allen chuckled, “Come on, there’s no need to be so distant.
