Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 307 Epilogue: Echoes of a Crush |

At twenty-three, Lucien returned to his homeland, stepping into the weighty role of leading the family’s

corporate empire.

He'd been groomed for this since he was sixteen, dipping his toes into the company’s affairs.

By eighteen, he'd already boosted the quarterly profits by a staggering twenty percent.

While studying abroad, he juggled coursework with founding the group’s overseas division, laying the

foundations of his burgeoning business kingdom.

Lucien was a machine—relentless, precise, and operating around the clock.

He had little room for frivolous emotions or hobbies.

It seemed he was born to chase wealth, his life a finely tuned engine built for success.

At twenty-three, Lucien was back in the country.

He knew his father was ready to hand over the reins of the domestic operations.

He arrived a day early, only to find his older brother Zane had whisked their father off to inspect another branch.

The house was buzzing with younger relatives, their chatter grating on his nerves.

Not wanting a fuss, he’d kept his return quiet.

His room on the third floor was a haven of silence, a sanctuary where no one would disturb his rest.

Fresh from a shower, Lucien was still toweling off when a faint

knock echoed at his door.

His brow quirked in curiosity. He tossed the towel aside, threw on a shirt-buttons half-done, sleeves loose-and

opened the door.

A girl stood there, her high ponytail swaying slightly, her head bowed low.

Lucien recognized her instantly.

That was Kaia, the eldest daughter of the Domont family.

His gaze softened, lingering on the delicate skin at the nape of her neck, where a few stray strands of hair curled

playfully.

A sudden jolt hit his chest, his heart thudding harder than he expected.

Under his stare, a flush crept up her ears, spreading to her neck, painting it a soft pink.

She seemed to summon every ounce of courage before her trembling voice broke the silence. “Alden, | like you.”

Lucien’s brow furrowed, and he realized she was here for his nephew.

His throat tightened, a strange pang twisting in his chest.

He forced it down, keeping his voice low and steady.

“You've got the wrong room. Alden’s downstairs.”

He knew, for a sixteen-year-old girl, confessing to the wrong person was nothing short of catastrophic.

Softening his tone, he tried again. “Kaia, he’s downstairs.”

But no matter how gentle he spoke, when she lifted her eyes, he saw the panic flickering in them.

Kaia’s gaze shifted from shock to frustration, then to crushing disappointment, her eyes brimming with unshed

tears.

She could not even bring herself to look at him again. With a trembling “I’m sorry,” she turned and bolted down

the stairs.

Lucien shifted his weight, an urge to follow her sparking in his chest. But he stopped himself. He felt that if she

had just suffered such humiliation, the last thing she would want was to see him again.

He drifted to the bed, staring after her fleeting figure, lost in thought.

Footsteps approached. “Uncle Lucien, you're back?”

Alden’s voice was laced with surprise.

At the sight of his nephew, a flash of irritation flared unexpectedly in Lucien’s chest. “What, I'm not allowed to

chome?” His tone was sharper than intended.

Alden stammered, “No, | mean, of course you can...”

Lucien smirked coldly. “Where were you just now?”

He fixed his gaze on Alden, noting his uneasy expression. “Uncle Lucien, | was in my room helping Luna with her

homework.”

A flicker of disdain passed through Lucien’s eyes, followed by a

quiet sense of relief.

He was glad—secretly, deeply glad—that Kaia had stumbled into his room by mistake.

If she'd seen the boy she liked with someone else, her heart

would've shattered.

That summer, Kaia stopped coming over.

Lucien caught snippets of Alyssa, his niece, grumbling about it.

“Kaia, why haven't you cto hang out?”

From the kitchen island, Lucien paused mid-sip, his coffee cup hovering as he strained to catch more.

“Oh, your grandma's sick? I'm sorry. I'll swing by to visit her

soon.”

When Alyssa turned and saw him standing there, she blinked.

“Uncle Lucien? What are you doing here?” she asked.

Lucien bit his lip. He couldn't exactly admit he was eavesdropping.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out two elegant gift boxes he'd prepared earlier.

“Go ahead,” he said, his tone cool as he turned to head upstairs.

But once his back was to her, the curve of his mouth deepened into a smile he could not quite suppress.
