Chapter 227 A Honeymoon for Four

Kaia asked, “So–why are you back here?”

George gave a faint smile. “Just visiting. I plan to stay a month and then head out again.”

To Kaia, the Vane family was her true home, her only family. That’s why she felt genuinely happy when she saw him show up.

But while she was pleased, Lucien clearly wasn’t. He looked annoyed, like he was wondering why someone had come along to interrupt their little bubble.

Lucien pressed his lips together before asking, “So, where do you want to go, George? I can find a local guide and help plan something for you.”

George wasn’t one to let things slide, so of course, he noticed the faint hint of dislike in Lucien’s expression.

With a smirk, he teased, “No need. A hired guide isn’t the same as family. It’d be kind of boring, if you ask me. Kaia, just show me around yourself when you’re free.”

Lucien choked on his words for a moment, but his sweet, oblivious wife immediately agreed with a grin.

“Sure! I was just about to start my annual leave anyway. I’ll check out some spots when I get back and take you around.”

Lucien cleared his throat a few times, adding, “Actually, I’m free too. I’ll come along.”

George’s voice dripped with teasing.

“You sure? You’ve got so much on your plate, Lucien. I’d hate to waste your time.”

“Nothing to worry about. It’s settled,” Lucien replied flatly.

Kaia caught the tone and shot him a glare.

“Go handle your own work. I can take George around myself.”

On the way home, she was still fuming.

“Why were you so passive–aggressive with George today?”

Lucien stayed silent, his lips pressed tight.

Kaia frowned. “Hey, I’m asking you a question here.”

Lucien kept his eyes on the road and spoke seriously.

“You said your annual leave was for our honeymoon.” His tone was stiff, but there was no mistaking the trace of wounded pride behind it.

Kaia didn’t know how to respond.

Chapter 227 A Honeymoon for Four

After their wedding, Lucien had suggested they go on a honeymoon, but she had turned him down.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go–it was just that there had been too much going on: legal matters, reconnecting with her family, and a whole list of other things that threw her plans off track.

So, when they took wedding photos on that private island, Kaia had figured that counted as their honeymoon.

Feeling guilty, she said, “I’m sorry.” She reached over and playfully tickled Lucien’s waist. “Don’t be mad at me, Lucien.”

Lucien kept driving without even glancing at her.

Kaia tried again. “Come on, don’t be mad, honey.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Lucien caught her pouty face and the way she was begging for forgiveness. He wanted nothing more than to pull over and kiss her senseless.

Kaia said, “Honey? Ugh, I remember we agreed that after a few days of hanging out with George, we’d let him go do his own thing, and then we’d take our honeymoon. But if you don’t want to anymore, then forget it.”

Lucien didn’t hesitate. “Who said that! I want to!”

The realization that she had him wrapped around her finger made him grit his teeth. “You always know how to get me…”

Sometimes she drove him crazy, but what could he do? He was the one who fell for her first.

Lucien quickly added, “We’ll hang out with George for three days. No more than three.”

Kaia smirked.

Clingy little boy.

After Alyssa and Landon got home, she spread all the gifts out

on the table and began unwrapping them one by one.

Landon reached over and ruffled her hair affectionately. “You’re so cute, babe.”

“Hey, don’t mess up my hair,” Alyssa muttered.

When only one box was left, she had almost forgotten it was there. But as she opened it and saw a painting of the setting sun,

she froze.

Landon looked over, curious. “Oh, what’s that?”

Alyssa quickly shut the box, her hands fumbling slightly, “Uh,

it’s nothing. Just a painting someone sent over. No idea who it’s from.”

Landon narrowed his eyes, sensing something off in her expression. “Come on, let me see what it is.”

Alyssa’s eyes flickered. “It’s nothing special. Just a painting, really.” But in truth, the signature in the corner was a name she used to know by heart.

She couldn’t understand why that guy would go out of his way to send her this, or if he had even come back to the country himself. Maybe he sent it on someone else’s behalf.

Either way, it left her feeling rattled and confused.

Still, Landon didn’t press the issue. Given that today was their wedding day, his gaze grew darker.

“Well, fine then. But babe, that dress has got to be heavy. How about I help you take it off?”

The words caught Alyssa completely off guard. She looked up, stunned, her breath hitching.

Before she could react, Landon swept her up into his arms with

ease.

Whatever painting or gift had arrived no longer mattered. Her body had been lit on fire, and everything else faded into the

When the sharp pain tore through her, Alyssa broke out in a cold sweat.

“You fucking liar, Landon!”

Landon didn’t look much better himself. “It’ll pass in a second. Baby, I love you so much.”

But Alyssa couldn’t feel a trace of love in his voice. She didn’t know what was real anymore.

Her eyes welled up–only for him to kiss the tears away, soft and gentle.

That gentleness? Nothing but a lie.

By the next morning, she was rubbing her sore back, her voice hoarse with anger.

“Landon, damn it! You liar!”

Meanwhile, he looked fresh as ever, holding a tube of ointment like some smug personal trainer.

“What’s wrong, babe? Wake up grumpy? Go back to sleep if you’re still tired.”

She shot him a death glare and raised her leg to kick him.

He caught her foot mid–air with one calloused hand. “Hey now. First time always hurts. Let me put some ointment on it.”

Alyssa’s jaw clenched. “My first time?” she growled. “Then what the hell was last time?”
