Wedding My Ex's Uncle (Kaia and Alden) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Is It Jerry

Last night, they had been intimate.

The doctor had warned against too much activity–especially with twins on the way.

Lucien had to hold back.

“Sleep,” he murmured.

If Kaia kept gazing at him with those soft, affectionate eyes, he wasn’t sure he could keep his self–control intact.

Kaia drifted off with a contented smile on her face.

In her dreams, it felt like she had returned to that summer-

when she was seventeen.

“Kaia, don’t think Dad’s going to favor you just because you topped the class.”

Kimberly’s voice was dripping with smugness. “Aren’t you taking the SAT next year? Mom said this summer’s trip is just for me and Dad. He’s coming too!”

“Kaia, since you’ll be focused on the SAT, we’ve decided not to take you on the trip this year,” Tobias had added without hesitation.

Seventeen–year–old Kaia had clenched her fists, her vision blurring with unshed tears.

She had been excluded from their vacations the year she broke her leg at sixteen.

Again at fifteen, when the SSAT was the excuse.

Every year, it was something.

Fine, I don’t care anyway.

In the vast emptiness of the Domont Villa, only Claire stayed with her.

The disappointment lodged in her throat like a stone she couldn’t swallow.

She cried so hard that her eyes swelled red with inflammation.

Out of sheer frustration, Kaia had booted up the computer and downloaded several online games at random.

Eventually, she found one she could get into,

In that fantasy world, slaying monsters helped her vent what she couldn’t say aloud.

Her bottled–up sadness, the constant rejection–it all found release there.

Just when she was teetering on the edge, about to crumble, a message appeared in the game chat: [Miss, want to team up as a couple for this dungeon?]

She blinked.

A white–robed man stood beside her character, his avatar poised

and handsome.

Something about him–his calm aura, his quiet presence–made her fingers move almost instinctively.

She clicked Accept.

They hadn’t talked much.

But from the man’s occasional comments, Kaia gathered that he had already started working.

Sometimes, he’d mention needing to step away for a meeting or take an urgent call.

Their relationship in the game had remained polite and distant –more like two strangers temporarily bound by a quest than true partners.

But on this special day, her birthday, he suddenly logged in and said he’d take her to see fireworks.

Kaia’s game avatar, in a red dress, sat side by side with the white–robed man on the screen.

Before the clock struck twelve, she witnessed a virtual fireworks

display.

It was a birthday without any wishes, but she remembered it vividly for years.

On Sunday, Kaia spent hours lounging in front of the screen, reminiscing in the game–Lucien by her side.

A soft sigh escaped her lips. “Who would’ve thought this game would still be around after all these years?”

Lucien chuckled. “It’s not going anywhere.”

Kaia tilted her head, narrowing her eyes. “Wait… you didn’t buy the company, did you?”

Not waiting for an answer, she opened the game’s official website. Her jaw dropped.

Graves Group was listed as the sole owner of the tech company behind the game.

She turned slowly to glare at him. “Lucien.”

He leaned back, perfectly unbothered. “Was it really that hard to buy a small game company?”

Kaia rolled her eyes. “Money really does talk.”

He leaned over and kissed the corner of her eye. “So what made you think of buying me shoes?”

Kaia hesitated, then confessed, “It’s Vanessa–you’ve met her. She’s been splurging on this guy she’s dating. Shoes, suits… way beyond what she can afford.”

She gave a small shrug. “There’s this saying—if a woman buys a man shoes, he’ll run off. I thought I’d test it on you.”

Lucien raised an eyebrow. “You’re comparing me to those losers? And didn’t you say not long ago that she was still single and we should help her find a decent guy?”

Kaia gave a half–shrug. “I just didn’t think she’d dive in this fast.”

Lucien’s expression shifted, his gaze sharpening. “Wait… is she dating that former assistant of yours?”

Kaia blinked. “What makes you say that?”

“She drove him home last time, didn’t she?”

Kaia paused. The memory clicked. Jerry. That ride.

She hadn’t thought much of it at the time—he was newly transferred, and she’d been busy. But now that Lucien mentioned it…

Jerry’s clean–cut, harmless looks–just Vanessa’s type. No

wonder all her recent blind dates had failed. She had a thing for younger, boyish guys. Puppy–dog types.

“I’ll test the waters tomorrow,” Kaia said decisively.

Lucien nodded. “You should. That guy tried hitting on you before I shut it down. Now he’s moved on to her? Straight out of college and already chasing money.”

He paused, then added, “You’re right to check in. Some truths

are hard to hear, but better she hears them from you than learn the hard way. Just don’t overstep.”

Kaia gave a small nod. She knew exactly where the line was- and she’d only push as far as she needed to.

*****

Before Kaia could even bring it up, she found Vanessa crying alone in the break room.

She quickly led her to an empty meeting room and handed her some tissues. “What happened, Vanessa? Did something go wrong?”

At the sight of a familiar face, Vanessa completely broke down, burying her face in her arms on the table.

“Kaia… I gave him everything. Everything. And he still wants to break up.”

Kaia frowned. “Break up? With your new boyfriend? Who is he -someone from the firm?”

Vanessa hesitated, then wiped her tears with shaking hands. “You… you already know?”

Kaia’s face hardened. “It’s Jerry, isn’t it?”

Vanessa gave a tearful nod, and the floodgates opened again.
