“He’s not answering my calls or replying to my texts,” Vanessa
choked out.
“I thought I'd been good to him. This morning, | even sent him a message... only to realize he'd blocked me.”
Kaia took a deep breath, keeping her tone calm but firm.
“It’s over. Let it go, Vanessa. Honestly, he’s not worth your time. If someone treats you like that, you don’t hold
on-you walk away.”
“But...” Vanessa bit her lip, hesitation written all over her face. “I want the suit back. The one | bought him. It
costfifty thousand.”
She paused, then added quickly, “He can keep the shoes, though. He's worn them already.”
Kaia flicked her forehead lightly. “You're such a lovesick fool. Dropping fifty grand on a guy that fast?”
Vanessa gave a sheepish smile. “I messed up, Kaia.”
Kaia’s expression softened,
“Then go ask for it back. Just text him. Be direct. And if he refuses, tell him you'll bring it up with Mr. Miller. If this

public, he’s the one who'll lose face-not you.”
Vanessa hesitated. “Wouldn't that be... a little too much?”
Kaia raised an eyebrow. “Do you want your fifty grand back or
not?”
“...Yes! I'll message him!”
Then Kaia asked gently, “You two didn’t... go too far, right?”
Vanessa's cheeks flushed. “We just kissed a little.”
Kaia let out a sigh of relief.
“Good. Guys like him can’t be trusted. They're after one thing- or your money. And who knows what else they're
bringing with them. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment next time.”
Vanessa nodded obediently. “I know. Lesson learned.”
Thankfully, things hadn't gone further. Jerry was clearly just another shameless player-and bold enough to mess
around with someone in the soffice, no less,
That evening, Kaia received a text from Vanessa: [Kaia, thank you! | got the suit back. Returning it tomorrow!]
Kaia replied with a grin: [Good, Return it. And next time, don’t waste a single cent on losers.]

“Stop looking at your phone, honey. Look at me!” Lucien hugged Kaia from behind, sounding a bit jealous.
Kaia turned around to face him. “Lucien, you're so clingy.”
“Just to you,” he said.
Kaia gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
The desire in Lucien’s eyes grew stronger as he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.
He always kissed deeply, as if trying to numb her tongue.
Lost in the kiss, all she could feel was their intertwined breaths.
Gasping for air, they were reluctant to part.
Lucien remembered the doctor's advice.
Kaia, unable to take it anymore, said, “We can do it today, right?”
Lucien said, “No, Once a week. It's not good for the babies if it's too frequent.”
What a self-controlled and endearing man.

One afternoon, Alyssa cby to visit Kaia.
As Kaia casually shared a few things, Alyssa’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
And then-like a lightbulb flipping on-realization struck her.
“No wonder! Kaia, | can’t believe | missed all the signs before!”
Kaia frowned slightly. “What signs?”
Alyssa leaned in, eyes wide. “Okay, do you remember the first tyou cover to our house? You scarfed
down a whole plate of greens and fish.”
Kaia blinked. “Vaguely...”
“I found out later you're allergic to half the stuff on that table. But you still ate it. After that, though, every single
tyou cover, there was always fish. | was even jealous-I thought the cook kept remembering your
favorite dishes.”
She pointed tically. “It must've been Uncle Lucien!”
Kaia raised an eyebrow. “Seriously?”

“I'm sure of it!” Alyssa said, smacking her palm with her fist.
“And-oh! Remember when you got engaged to that guy? Uncle Lucien got so drunk that night. He just sat in the
garden by himself for hours, staring into space. | didn’t even dare talk to him! Then he disappeared abroad the
next day!”
Kaia’s lips parted slightly, stunned into silence.
“And another thing—" Alyssa

Kaia was left speechless.
Stunned for a moment, she said, “Alyssa, were there really that many details?”
Alyssa took out her phone and tapped on Lucien’s profile picture. “Look, isn’t his nicknan abbreviation of
your names?”
At that moment, Alyssa felt like a genius.
She just regretted not noticing these tell-tale signs earlier.

Kaia felt a sweet-and-sour feeling in her heart. “Alright, alright.
I know how much he likes me.”
Alyssa blinked. “What about you?”
Kaia smiled, “Of course, I love him too.”
It wasn't just a touch of emotion; it was deep-seated love.
