Wedding My Ex's Uncle (Kaia and Alden) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Stay Away From Her

Landon’s expression was as cold as ice. “No, I just arrived early.”

George, casual as ever, leaned in. “I’m curious, Mr. Collins. What’s this all about?”

Landon’s response was sharp. “I want you to stop bothering my wife.”

George blinked, caught off guard by the bluntness. “Well, Mr. Collins, I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”

“Really?” Landon’s gaze darkened. “When my wife was in the hospital having our baby, you showed up. I don’t know if it was on purpose, but I want you to stay away from her.”

George’s eyes hardened. “Who are you to tell me what to do?”

Landon didn’t hesitate. “Because I’m her husband, and I’m the father of our daughter. You? You’re just some old unrequited crush of hers.”

George’s eyes widened in shock, Landon knew more than he had expected.

He tried to defend himself. “I didn’t mean to intrude of mine was hospitalized, and I just happened to pass byv.”

Landon scoffed, incredulous. “How convenient! Was your friend some long–lost elementary school classmate who just so happened to be pregnant? You came all the way back from abroad just to look?”

George’s heart sank. He had forgotten that Landon was

the hospital’s director–he had full access to all patient information.

“Alright,” George admitted reluctantly. “I admit I wanted to see her. But I didn’t want her to notice me.”

He paused, frustration lining his features.

Sometimes, George couldn’t even explain his own actions. He just wanted to see her from a distance, that’s all.

But the thought of Landon treating her poorly? That was another matter entirely.

Landon gave him a chilly stare.

Knew you’d show your true colors sooner or later.

And you’re still claiming you’re not here to stir up trouble?

“Alyssa doesn’t want to see you,” Landon said flatly. “You rejected her before. Now, what’s with this sudden act of 277

affection?”

George flashed a playful smile. “Did she tell you that?”

Landon’s fists clenched, the frustration building inside him. “She doesn’t want to see you.”

He repeated it, his voice firm, as if it were a warning to George -and a reminder to himself.

George’s smile didn’t waver. “Relax. I won’t go see her on purpose. Mr. Collins, you’re being paranoid. Or is it that after all these years of marriage, you still can’t make Alyssa fall in love with you?”

The words hit Landon like a punch to the gut. It was a sensitive topic, and George had just made it worse.

“She will love me,” Landon said through gritted teeth, his voice cold with resolve.

With that, he turned on his heel and left.

Sitting in the car, the city streets passing by in a blur, Landon was suddenly hit with the memory of that day–when Alyssa had been curled up, crying her heart out.

really that terrible?”

And Landon, always the comforting figure, had smiled softly, wiping away her tears. “Alyssa, you’re amazing. There will be someone who’ll love you. If he doesn’t, I will. Okay?”

But in her grief, Alyssa had completely forgotten about that night–her words lost in the fog of her sadness. And Landon, for all his care, had always been the annoying rival.

Now, sitting there, the weight of their years together felt like a stolen victory—an achievement that made him uneasy, even anxious.

When Landon finally got home, Alyssa was waiting for him, grumbling, “Landon, your daughter peed. Where have you been all this time?”

Landon’s gaze softened as he looked at Alyssa, pouting cutely. His heart melted a little.

“Coming. Sorry, I had a business dinner tonight.”

Alyssa leaned in, taking a quick sniff of him. “Fine. No perfume. But Landon, if I ever find out you’re cheating, you’re

dead meat.”

Landon gave her a helpless smile. “Sweetheart, I’d rather die than cheat on you.”

Alyssa’s eyes widened in mock indignation. “Hey, stop talking nonsense!”

She stood there, hands on her hips, looking more annoyed than upset.

Alyssa couldn’t help but feel speechless. She’d never met someone who would curse themselves like that.

“Okay, okay. I’m wrong. Happy now?” Landon said, his tone light and apologetic.

Alyssa noticed something different in him tonight. He seemed more relaxed, his mood noticeably lighter.

Do men’s moods really change that much?

*****

In the afternoon, Joanne mentioned she wanted to visit Alyssa. Unable to decline, Alyssa had no choice but to agree.

Alyssa knew full well that Joanne’s real purpose wasn’t just a visit, but to question her about receiving the shares.

You’re spending too much,” Alyssa said with a bright smile, trying to keep the mood light.

Joanne set the things down, pretending to admire the baby before glancing around the room. “Landon isn’t home?”

Alyssa blinked, a bit surprised. “He’s busy in the study. Do you need to see him?”

Joanne waved her hand dismissively. “Oh, no. I came to see you today.”

Once she was sure Landon wouldn’t be interrupting,

Joanne dropped the pretense. “Alyssa, I heard your grandpa transferred 10% of the company shares to you last week?”

Alyssa, calm as ever, peeled an orange and slowly popped a segment into her mouth. “Yeah. Aunt Joanne, would you like an orange?”

Joanne forced a smile, the kind that didn’t reach her eyes. “No, you go ahead.”

Her grip on the armrest tightened slightly, but Alyssa didn’t miss it.

“Your grandpa really does love you, Alyssa,” Joanne said, her tone almost wistful.

Alyssa’s lips pressed together into a smile. “Yeah, Grandpa said it’s for my dad. After he passed, it had to go to me.

“And having some money means I won’t be looked down upon by my husband’s family. Right, Aunt Joanne?”

She knew Allen had done it all for her–showing the Collins family that even after marriage, she was still his favorite granddaughter.

Joanne hesitated, then spoke in a low, almost bitter tone. “Well, yes. Luna never had such luck back then…”

Alyssa’s smile instantly faded.

She set the orange down, the pleasant air shifting as she responded sharply, “Aunt Joanne, that’s not something you should say.”
