Kaia stared blankly for a second, her brain taking a moment to catch up. Then, suddenly, her eyes lit up with excitement.

“Same city? Wait, you’re not leaving for the next six months?” Her heart was pounding as she asked the question, breathless with hope.

Lucien shrugged with a playful smile. “Yeah. What can I say? My wife went abroad and instantly forgot how to take care of herself.”

Though he was clearly teasing, Kaia was already flinging herself into his arms, overflowing with joy.

She cupped his face and planted kisses all over his lips. “Are you serious? Really really serious?”

Lucien returned her kiss, his voice low and indulgent. “Really. I give up. You win.”

In this tug–of–war of a relationship, he’d finally surrendered. He simply couldn’t stand it anymore–six months apart had been

unbearable.

Kaia was overwhelmed, too full of emotion to speak. So she expressed it the only way she knew how–by wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a long, deep kiss.

Only now did she finally feel whole again.

Luna stared at the baby in the crib with visible disdain. The same baby Zane and Joanne doted on like a treasure–yet all she felt toward him was irritation.

Sometimes, she couldn’t even bring herself to look at him.

“The baby wants to nurse,” Serena said gently.

Luna waved a hand without even lifting her head. “Just give him a formula. I’ve dried up.”

Serena didn’t dare argue, though she distinctly remembered Luna’s supply had been fine.

This was the Graves family’s first great–grandson, and yet he was treated like a burden. /

She didn’t understand it, but at the same time, she kind of did.

Rich women like Mrs. Luna Graves are simply different.

When Luna heard Lucien had flown abroad and was planning to stay there for half a year just to be with Kaia, she nearly exploded.

And then she looked at her own situation. Alden hadn’t been

around when she was pregnant. He wasn’t there when she gave

birth.

Even now, after the baby had reached his first month, he still hadn’t come back.

Since the child was born, Alden had barely called–maybe once or twice, definitely not more than five times.

In a fit of rage, Luna swiped the water glass off her nightstand. It shattered on the floor.

The loud crash startled the baby, who burst into frightened

cries.

Serena rushed over, scooping the baby into her arms and gently rocking him. “There there, sweetheart. It’s okay. Brave baby, don’t cry now.”

Joanne heard the commotion and came hurrying in. “What happened?”

Her eyes immediately landed on the broken glass littering the floor.

Luna didn’t miss a beat. “Serena, what is wrong with you? You can’t even handle something so simple. Look what you’ve done! You dropped the glass and scared the baby!”

Serena didn’t even have a chance to defend herself. Facing

Luna’s glare–sharp and full of warning–she knew better than to argue. Protecting the people in this household was more important than defending the truth.

She lowered her head and took the blame. “I’m so sorry. It was my fault. I wasn’t careful.”

Joanne frowned, clearly displeased. “Be more careful next time. Breaking a glass is one thing, but scaring my grandson? That’s unacceptable. Understood?”

Serena nodded. “Yes. It won’t happen again.”

Joanne turned toward Luna, her tone softening. “Don’t get so worked up, Luna. Alden said he’ll speak to Lucien and take a short leave soon. He’ll come home to see you and the baby.”

“Really?” Luna’s eyes lit up.

She couldn’t wait. She didn’t want to spend another day staring at this child. She wanted to be with Alden. She didn’t even care if Africa was tough. Anything was better than being stuck here with this thing.

When Lucien got word that Luna was trying to get approval to go to Africa, he agreed immediately.

Let her go. And hopefully, she never comes back.

Half a year flew by.

Kaia still felt like she hadn’t learned enough, but her return date had arrived.

She planned to continue taking courses after returning home.

As she leaned against Lucien’s shoulder on the plane, she smiled softly, “Honey, we’re going home.”

Lucien’s lips curved up ever so slightly. “Yeah. Home.”

Kaia turned her face to his ear, whispering with a blush, “Once we get back, let’s start trying for a baby.”

Lucien’s eyes lit up, his voice trembling with barely–contained excitement. “Really?”

“Really.”

Lucien’s heart nearly burst with joy. The moment they got home, the very first thing he planned to do was throw out every last condom in the house.

At the airport, Alyssa waddled toward the arrival gate, seven months pregnant and stubborn as ever,

Landon trailed behind her, exasperated. “Slow down, will you? Take it easy!”

He couldn’t handle her sometimes. Just like that time she’d hidden her pregnancy until he found the ultrasound report by accident.

He was the first of his friends to become a dad. He’d been over

the moon–so much so that it took him two whole hours of apologizing to calm her down.

Since then, Landon had realized one thing–Alyssa could endure anything, and when it came to him, she had him wrapped around her finger.

Alyssa shot Landon a glare. “You’re a grown man. How are you still this slow? I want Kaia to see me the second she walks out!”

Landon surrendered with a sigh. “Alright. I get it. You two are the best friends on Earth. Happy now?”

Honestly, he and Lucien were like two tragic friends in arms. Well, except Kaia was at least a little gentler than Alyssa. Great. Now he really was the only one suffering in this whole world.

As soon as Kaia set foot back on home soil, she took a deep breath. The air felt fresh, and she couldn’t help the smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She was finally back.
