Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 37 She’s Always Acting

That evening, Alden spent a good couple of hours at Luna’s apartment, soothing her frayed nerves, before finally heading home.

The moment he stepped inside, he saw his father on the sofa, his face like a thundercloud, clearly waiting for him.

“Zane? You’re still up?”

Zane snorted, “Outside. Now.”

“Where are we going?” Alden blinked. “I’m a little tired today. Can it wait till tomorrow?”

“No! Get your ass out here!” Zane snarled.

Alden’s brow furrowed. He had no idea what happened to his

dad.

They went out to the garden.

In the dead of night, Zane wasn’t worried about anyone overhearing their conversation.

“Tiring, isn’t it, juggling two women?”

Alden froze.

Zane’s eyes drilled into him. “Tell me. Was there an elevator malfunction at your company today? And were you, Luna, and Kaia all in it?”

“Yeah.” Alden was completely bewildered. “You have no idea how terrified Luna is of the dark. It took me forever to get her to stop crying.”

“Hah! Terrified, huh? Crying from noon till night? Alden, do you give a single damn about Kaia? Luna’s important, so your fiancée means nothing? Do you even know that you two are getting married soon?”

Alden frowned, “Of course, I know. But Kaia’s not afraid of the dark.”

Zane stepped forward, his eyes blázing. “And how the hell would you know? Tell me, Alden-name one woman who isn’t scared when locked in a dark, metal box for hours.”

Alden bristled. “Why are you always taking her side? Luna’s your daughter too!”

Zane’s eyes hardened. “Just remember that! And Luna will always be just a sister to you! Is that clear?”
