Chapter 191 Three Times a Week?

Lucien’s gaze suddenly cooled. “Honey, business isn’t really your field.”

He turned back to Tobias, tone smooth again. “But Mr. Tobias Domont, I might actually have a project that could give Domley Tech a bit of a lifeline. If you’re interested, my assistant can walk you through the details tomorrow.”

Tobias lit up. “Lucien, are you serious?”

“Of course,” Lucien replied with an easy smile.

Kaia was more than satisfied. Lucien had played his part tonight better than she ever expected.

While Tobias stepped away to use the restroom, she tugged lightly at Lucien’s sleeve. “You’re not seriously going to help him, right?”

Lucien brushed his fingers gently over her hand. “I know what I’m doing.”

By the end of the evening, Tobias was thoroughly drunk. Sue had to prop him up to keep him from toppling over,

“Lucien, you’re incredible!” Tobias slurred. “You’re my son–in–law! My daughter married Lucien Graves!”

Kaia’s eyes darkened. His pride made her skin crawl.

“Let’s go,” she said quietly.

Lucien wrapped an arm around her. “You’re nothing like him, Kaia. Not in the ways that matter.”

Kaia nodded. Tobias might have shared her blood, but he’d never once acted like a father.

“Mom, you really divorced Dad?”

Kimberly still hadn’t processed the news. It felt like the ground

had shifted beneath her.

“Why?” she demanded. “Why did you two split?”

Sally never wanted a divorce. But Tobias had twisted her arm, using her brother’s financial scandal as leverage. She had no

choice.

She didn’t imagine the man she spent decades with could be this heartless.

Yeah, Tobias promised they’d get married again after the investment deal closed. He even signed papers about it.

So, Sally could forgive Tobias for now. But Kaia?

Kaia would get no such grace. She had been merciless, and Sally was ready to repay that in kind.

Lucien couldn’t help but ask, “You and your dad… things seem tense. Do you really not want me to help Domley Tech?”

Kaia didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely not. Don’t get involved. I won’t thank you for it.”

What stood between her and Tobias was far too complicated. She didn’t intend to explain it.

Lucien met her eyes, lips pressed together in silence.

If she didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t push her.

But he couldn’t deny the flicker of disappointment in his chest. It seemed like she still didn’t trust him enough.

So, that night, he didn’t let her off easy. It was nearly 1 AM before he finally stopped.

The next morning, Kaia dragged herself out of bed looking all tired with bags under her eyes. She slammed a paper on the table and stared him down.

“We’re setting boundaries. Three times a week. At most. Now,

sign here.”

Lucien blinked. “Three? That’s it?”

“Look at my eyes,” Kaia snapped, pointing at her reflection. “I still have to work. I can’t keep staying up like this.”

Lucien refused to budge. “Then we’ll start earlier. I promise you’ll be asleep by midnight.”

Kaia stared at him, seething. “You really think three is too few?”

“Babe,” he said slowly, “you expect me to be married and spend most nights with… my right hand?”

Kaia’s cheeks flushed instantly.

She didn’t want to understand that. And yet… she understood it way too clearly.

Lucien leaned in before she could retort. “Five nights. Two nights off. Deal,”

And before she could respond, he was already slipping on his coat and heading out.

But not without leaving his driver behind for her.

Chris was already waiting at the curb when Kain stepped out. She glanced at the flashy vehicle and groaned. “Can we take a

different car?”

She wasn’t about to pull up to work in something that looked like a rolling billboard for wealth.

Chris jumped out. “Of course, Mrs. Graves. Would you like to choose one?”

Kaia eyed the garage. “Take the cheapest one.”

Chris hesitated. “Then… maybe this one?”

He pointed to a Lexus parked quietly in the corner. It was, technically, the cheapest option in the Graves fleet—a custom model that still cost well into six figures. It was usually used by the housekeepers to run errands.

He hesitated again. “Or maybe that one over there…”

But before he could finish, Kaia had already made her decision.

“This one.”

Her eyes flicked to the logo.

Lexus, Huh. Understated.

She hadn’t expected Lucien to own something that looked so… normal.

She got in without another word. “Let’s go. I’m running late.“.

“Understood, Mrs. Graves.”

He said nothing more, but he couldn’t help thinking that she might not be too pleased when she found out the so–called “cheap” car cost more than a decent apartment downtown.

Kaia had barely stepped outside the building when she ran into Ophelia again.

This time, Ophelia managed to get a proper look at the car. It was a Lexus—nothing flashy, nothing remarkable.

Judging by her expression, she must’ve decided that the luxury car from yesterday had probably been borrowed.

When Chris stepped out, Ophelia’s smirk deepened. In her mind, the mystery unraveled.

So that was Kaia’s husband. After all the speculation and swagger, it turned out she’d married a middle–aged man with thoroughly average presence.

“Well, Ms. Domont,” Ophelia called out sweetly, her voice soaked in faux politeness, “fancy running into you again. Was that your husband just now? He looked… mature.”
