Wedding My Ex's Uncle (Kaia and Alden) novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Can’t wait?

“By the way, since Grandma just passed away, I think it’s better to keep our relationship under wraps for now. What do you think?”

Kaia wasn’t certain if this request would rub him the wrong way, but she just didn’t want others to know about their relationship

at the moment.

Lucien locked eyes with her, his gaze intense, and squinted slightly. “Sure thing.”

He then asked casually, “After two months, do you want to move in here, or should I move to your place?”

Kaia was a bit taken aback.

He was adjusting to their new relationship way too fast.

“I’ll move in here,” she replied simply.

Lucien nodded, then stood up from the sofa. He walked over to a drawer, pulled out a sleek black card, and slid it across the table to Kaia.

“Sorry,” he said, a little awkwardly. “I’m not exactly an expert on what women like. Just use this to buy whatever you need.”

Kaia’s eyes widened the moment she saw the card.

“Uh… no, it’s fine. I’ve got my own money-”

Lucien cut her off smoothly.

“I’m not the kind of man who spends a woman’s money. Take it. There’ll be household expenses later, and since we’re getting married, what’s mine is yours.”

Kaia muttered under her breath, “Yeah, but what’s mine isn’t

yours…”

Not that she had much to begin with. Her savings were barely enough to buy groceries, let alone split bills.

Still, she didn’t turn him down again. Pride wouldn’t pay the electric bill.

She’d take the card—but only for family expenses.

As Kaia stepped out of his villa, she still felt like she was in a dream.

So… it’s settled? Just like that?

From now on, Lucien would be the name written in the “Spouse” section of her personal info.

Kaia got into the car in a d

down before stepping on the gas pedal.

Lucien stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring intently at her car as it drove away, a broad smile spreading across his face.

Promptly at ten o’clock, Tobias saw Kaia walking into his office.

“Ah, Kaia, you’re here,” he said with a feigned warmth.

This time, his attitude was in stark contrast to their previous

encounter.

Kaia let out a soft click of her tongue and took the same seat as last time. “So, what’s this about?” she asked.

Tobias forced a smile, trying to hold back his impatience. “Kaia, I was too harsh last time.

“Your grandmother left you five percent of the company shares,” Tobias said, trying to sound generous. “They’re yours. And once you’re married, consider them your wedding gift. How does that sound?”

Kaia scoffed. “Dad, those shares became mine the moment Grandma handed them over. Whether you bring it up or not,

they’re already in my name.”

Tobias blinked, momentarily thrown off. He hadn’t expected her to push back so directly.

“Right, right-I’m not saying they’re not yours,” he recovered quickly.

“I’m just asking… what else do you want? But Kaia, about Sally’s situation—the company’s stock price is already slipping. That affects your stake too, doesn’t it?”

Kaia tapped her fingers slowly against the table, her gaze cool and steady.

“You’re not wrong,” she said. “But you can’t expect to smooth this over with a half-hearted apology.”

Tobias frowned, his face grim as he asked, “What do you want?”
