Chapter 293 Notifications

Kaia couldn’t help wondering–was Vanessa really buying clothes for her boyfriend?

15 min left

This bespoke suit shop wasn’t cheap. A decent–looking suit here would run at least thirty to fifty grand.

Kaia could wrap her head around Vanessa splurging three thousand on a pair of shoes. That was a stretch, but still within the realm of impulse purchases.

But this? A high–end suit from one of the most expensive menswear shops in town? That was miles outside Vanessa’s usual spending habits.

Kaia remembered how Vanessa had been eyeing a two–hundred–thousand–dollar handbag for months without pulling the trigger. And now she was about to swipe her card for

a man?

She pressed her lips into a thin line, watching as Vanessa handed over her card without hesitation. A strange unease crept into Kaia’s chest.

Vanessa’s boyfriend must really be something.

Still, Vanessa was clearly smitten. If Kain said anything now, it’d probably just irritate her. But if she stayed silent, there was a risk she’d fall in deeper than she could climb out.

In the end, Kain decided to let it go–for now. She’d wait until Vanessa came to her first.

With shopping bags in hand, Kaia walked through the door. Lucien glanced up, raising an eyebrow.

“Went shopping?”

She smiled. “Yeah. Got something for our babies.”

It wasn’t until later–after she finished her nighttime skincare routine–that she handed him the box.

“Here. Try them on.”

Lucien was surprised.

“For me? I get gifts now too?”

Kaia pouted. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I never buy you anything?”

“No, not at all.”

He quickly opened the bag and pulled out a sleek pair of black leather shoes. His eyes lit up.

“I love them.”

Then he tugged Kaia onto his lap and kissed her, gently but lingering.

“Honey, I love whatever you give me. Always.”

Kaia gave him a sly look. “You know what they say–if a woman buys a man shoes, he’ll run off fast. I’m testing the theory.”

Lucien’s eyes darkened, his voice dipping low.

“Honey, I’m not going anywhere. If I run, it’s only to crash into you–full speed.”

Kaia’s face flushed crimson. “You… You’re impossible!”

Lucien leaned in, his lips brushing her ear as he murmured, “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

The night stretched long and sweet.

Since the next day was the weekend, Lucien indulged himself a little more than usual.

By morning, Kaia could barely lift a finger–limp and boneless as she lay there, tangled in the sheets.

Lucien kissed her on the forehead as he got up.

“Sleep in a bit, honey.”

Kaia gave him a half–glare. “Sleep in? Your dad’s home–I can’t exactly lounge around till noon.”

Even at the Graves Manor, she had her bottom line. No matter how little she slept, she always made it downstairs in time for breakfast.

Then she caught a glimpse of the mark on her chest and blushed all over again.

Honestly… that man had no self–control.

Lucien hugged her from behind. “Sorry, honey. I was careful. I even asked the doctor–he said it’s okay.”

Kaia spun around and shoved him lightly. “You asked who? The doctor? Don’t tell me you asked Landon!”

The mere thought made her cheeks burn. Landon was her niece’s husband now–how was she supposed to face him after

that?

“Of course not,” Lucien replied, deadpan. “Why would I ask him?”

Kaia let out a breath of relief.

He took her hand and kissed it. “I’m heading to the office. I’ll be

back by five. Just rest up, alright? Wait for me.”

Kaia pulled her hand back, rolling her eyes. “Yeah, yeah–go already.”

She’d finally have a moment of peace once he left.

Lucien checked the time. He had back–to–back meetings, including a board meeting and several executive check–ins.

Before heading out, he grabbed the new shoes Kaia had gifted him and paused to admire them. Sleek, elegant–his wife had good taste.

Well, not that he didn’t look good in everything.

When he arrived at the office, Frank immediately noticed.

“Mr. Graves, are those new? Mrs. Graves bought them for you, didn’t she?”

Lucien raised an eyebrow. “How’d you guess?”

“Yesterday, she asked me for your shoe size. I figured she had something planned.”

Lucien gave him an approving pat on the shoulder. “Good work.”

He made a mental note to pass along his clothing sizes next. Just

in case Kaia had more surprises in mind.

Frank, meanwhile, finally exhaled–relieved to be on his boss’s good side again.

All day, Kaia’s gift seemed to cast a subtle spell. Amid the endless meetings and executive chatter, there was something rare on Lucien’s face–a faint, fleeting smile that no one dared mention, but everyone noticed.

*****

Since Lucien was tied up with work, Kaia found herself with nothing much to do. Then she remembered that unfinished business Lucien had interrupted the other day.

She booted up her computer and resumed her search for the game server where she’d created her old character. There were still twenty servers left to check.

Finally, on the twentieth try–the “Love Odyssey” server- -she froze.

Her account wasn’t at level zero anymore.

It was maxed out–level 100.

She stared at the screen in disbelief.

So this was where she’d spent an entire summer, zoning out in

front of the computer, grinding dungeons, tackling quests, chasing after time–limited outfits and gear.

All of it had been her escape–a way to vent her frustration and numb herself through the chaos in her life.

She clicked on the couple info tab–and there he was.

A man in white.

Her in–game partner: Luika.

So… Luika is Lucien.

Even now, the realization felt surreal.

He once told her she was his first love.

Back then, she was just a 17–year–old high school girl. He’d been 24, already making his mark in the business world.

She couldn’t imagine how hectic his life must’ve been at that age.

In truth, she wasn’t even sure they’d ever crossed paths in real life back then.

Just as her thoughts began to spiral, a blinking red “99+ notifications” on the message list snapped her back to reality.

She clicked–and instantly clapped a hand over her mouth.

Aside from a few automated system messages, every single one of them was from Lucien.
