Chapter 249 A Mother Who Doesn’t Care

Kaia had Gwen issue a cease–and–desist letter for defamation.

Before netizens could even begin criticizing Kaia, the situation

took a turn.

The legal notice was just the opening move. Doctors, nurses, and even the caregiver came forward to defend Kaia.

The police also issued a formal notice declining to pursue the

case.

The entire ordeal turned out to be Kimberly’s one–woman show, and the public mocked her for it.

Though netizens were easily swayed, this time, Kimberly had been too reckless.

Her motives were transparent, and instead of successfully rallying people against Kaia, she became the target of backlash.

In the end, the Martins took Kimberly back, and the matter was laid to rest.

Alden and Luna’s flight landed at 8 p.m.

Allen asked Lucien to return to Graves Manor for dinner, but was refused.

Lucien had said, “Dad, don’t you want grandchildren? I need to focus on that. I’m not getting any younger—gotta put in the effort.”

Thus, Lucien successfully dodged the gathering.

Kaia, standing behind him, kicked him in the calf.

“Couldn’t you have come up with a better excuse?”

Lucien grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, and kissed

her.

“Hungry? Should we eat dinner first or… do it first?”

Kaia’s face burned red.

Lucien’s eyes darkened. “We’ll do it first.”

When Alden returned to Graves Manor, Lucien was nowhere to be seen.

He knew he shouldn’t ask, but couldn’t help himself. “Mom,

Uncle Lucien didn’t come back?”

Noticing Luna’s pale face beside him, Joanne shot him a glare. “No, he didn’t! Why don’t you ask about your son? You haven’t even met him yet.”

Alden chuckled awkwardly, realizing his mistake. “I’ll see him right now.”

Luna forced a smile. “I’ll see Nic too.”

The nanny had just finished feeding Nicholas when the two entered. She quickly stood to greet them, eyeing Luna’s long, manicured nails as she reached for the baby.

The nanny tensed. “Mrs. Luna Graves, let me handle him. Nic just ate—he might fuss if someone else holds him.”

Luna withdrew her hand. “Then pick him up to show us.”

The nanny pressed her lips.

Listen to that talking about her child like he’s a toy.

Alden was visibly nervous. This was his first time meeting his son in person, not through a screen.

He gently squeezed the baby’s hand. “Nic, I’m your dad. Say ‘Daddy‘!”

Nicholas, full and content, glanced around but showed no interest in Alden.

Luna grew impatient. “Nic, look! This is your daddy!”

She kept emphasizing it, as if repeating it would somehow forge a blood connection between Alden and the child.

The nanny pitied Nicholas. “Mrs. Luna Graves, Nic’s only six months old. He won’t start talking until he’s at least one.”

Alden had just been teasing, but he noticed Luna’s agitation. “Don’t rush him. Our son isn’t slow. No pressure–he’ll talk when he’s ready.”

Luna smiled awkwardly, “Right, of course.”

They stayed with Nicholas a while longer, but as the baby began to fuss, Luna pulled Alden away.

“Alden, Nic isn’t used to us yet. Let the nanny handle him–once he starts crying, he won’t stop.”

Dinner was relatively pleasant.

After a year apart, Allen had missed Alden.

With Lucien absent, Joanne seized the moment. “Dad, Alden did well in Africa, Now that he’s back, shouldn’t he join the Graves Group?”

Allen’s cheerful expression faded. “That’s not my call anymore. Lucien’s in charge–his decision stands. He can start at your entertainment company for now.”

Zane shot Joanne a warning look. “We’ll follow Dad’s arrangement.”

Joanne bit back her frustration.

Alden showed no reaction, as if it didn’t concern him.

That night, as they prepared for bed, Alden stared at Luna’s long nails. “Luna, Nic’s still small. You should trim your nails so you don’t accidentally scratch him.”

Luna paused, then nodded. “You’re right. I forgot to remove them in the rush. I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”

Alden lay down distractedly. When Luna pressed against him, he shifted away.

“I’m tired. Let’s just sleep.”

Luna’s heart ached.

See? The moment we’re back in America, things go back to how they were.
