Chapter 259 I’m Exhausted

The other three didn’t respond.

Two of them had the group chat muted and collapsed, and the only one who saw Calvin’s message, Wiley, was too exhausted to deal with him.

With no replies, Calvin went straight to bothering Kaia.

Unfortunately, she was busy and didn’t see the message until late afternoon.

She showed her phone to Kayla. “Look, he’s planning to give you this.”

Kayla glanced at it, her expression calm. “Hmm, it’s pretty.”

That was all. Just “pretty“.

Kaia drove Kayla to the airport herself. Originally, the two of them hadn’t planned on bringing Alyssa along, but she insisted, so they let her come.

“Kayla, don’t forget to call us when you arrive.”

“Yeah, once a week at least. Don’t you dare forget us!”

Kayla chuckled, “No way I’d forget.”

At that same moment, Calvin was already at the proposal venue, calling Kayla nonstop. But no matter how many times he tried, her phone wouldn’t go through.

Something felt off, and he couldn’t shake it.

He turned to Lucien. “Lucien, call Kaia. Ask her what’s going

on.”

Lucien decided it was time to give him a little push. “Well, they’re probably at the airport right now.”

Calvin’s ring box hit the floor.

“What airport? Where are they going?” He panicked.

Lucien shrugged. “Kayla’s leaving. She probably won’t be coming today.”

Calvin’s eyes turned bloodshot. He grabbed Lucien by the collar. “Why the hell didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Lucien’s gaze turned cold. “Let go.

“She told my wife, not me. And I wasn’t even supposed to tell

you.

“Maybe you should be asking yourself why she’s leaving, instead of yelling at me for not warning you.”

The next moment, Calvin stormed out.

The other three exchanged glances.

Landon rubbed his nose. “So… Lucien, did Calvin just get ghosted on a proposal?”

Lucien gave a faint nod.

Calvin jumped into his car and started calling Kayla like crazy.

At the boarding gate, Kayla hesitated, then finally picked up.

“Calvin, I’m leaving. I asked them not to tell you about today, so don’t get mad at anyone else.

“You always expect everyone to operate on your timeline. You want to get married, so we’re all supposed to get married. You want to propose, so we all have to play along. But I’m tired. I don’t want to anymore.

“These past few years, sure, there were good times, but also a lot of hard ones. I’m not making a fuss. I just feel that now it’s the right time to end it all.”

Calvin still didn’t get it. “But… we made up, didn’t we?”

Kayla said bitterly, “See? You thought we made up. But I never forgave you.

“Calvin, if I had secretly gone on a blind date behind your back, treated you like a pretty little trophy and kept you on a leash, would you forgive me so easily?”

Calvin drew a deep breath but said nothing.

“So bye. Don’t wait for me.”

When Kaia got home, she learned that Calvin had been in a car

accident.

“What? Is he okay?”

Lucien hung his coat and rolled up his sleeves. “He broke his leg, and now it’s in a cast. It should keep him quiet for a couple of months.”

“That serious?” Kaia winced.

Lucien didn’t seem concerned. “It’s fine. Chasing after a girl isn’t supposed to be easy.”

Kaia gave him a look. “Lucien, you never even chased me, and I still married you. So… are you saying you never suffered at all?”

Something flickered deep in Lucien’s eyes. He gave a faint smile, “Who said I didn’t?”

Then he turned and headed upstairs to the bathroom.

Kaia tilted her head, curious.

Lucien suffered? When?

She suddenly found herself wondering what he’d been like when he was younger.

Back then, he was probably still abroad.

That day, Kaia had taken on a project from a university.

Just as she reached the campus gates, she spotted Gwen’s car.

Is Gwen working around here, too?

As she stepped closer, she saw Gwen trying to hold onto a girl’s arm, saying something to her.

The mood was tense. The girl suddenly yanked her arm away, and Gwen lost her balance, falling hard onto the pavement.

The girl hesitated for a second, then climbed onto a man’s motorcycle and sped off.

Kaia rushed over. “Ms. Dillon! Are you okay?”

She quickly knelt to check for injuries.

Gwen’s expression was strained, but she shook her head. “I’m fine. Just a little scrape.”

Kaia always carried antiseptic wipes and band–aids. She

carefully cleaned and dressed the wound.

“Try to keep it dry today, or it might get infected. And make sure you change the bandage at home.”

A touch of melancholy passed through Gwen’s eyes. “If only my daughter were as thoughtful and capable as you.”

Kaia paused. “Was that… your daughter just now?”

Gwen nodded. “Yeah. She’s in college now.”

There was a brief silence. Gwen’s gaze drifted. “She’s been dating this guy. Nothing but bad influence, actually. Ever since, she’s been skipping classes, hanging out God knows where all the time.

“I’ve tried to talk to her, but we’ve never been close. I don’t even know how to reach her anymore.”

Kaia stayed quiet. It was a tough situation.

“Ms. Dillon, have you talked to Jude about it?”

Gwen shook her head. “He knows I have a daughter, but I haven’t told him much else.”

Kaia nodded softly. “Don’t worry. I won’t say anything to Jude.”

“It’s not that I’d mind if he knew. I just don’t want to burden him with it,” Gwen said.

Kaia thought it was just a personal moment until that afternoon, when a friend reached out asking if she knew any criminal defense lawyers.

Naturally, she recommended Gwen.

But it turned out that the person the client wanted to sue was actually Gwen’s daughter’s boyfriend.
