Lucien’s lips softened into a gentle smile. “Take it. It’s Elena’s way of showing she cares.”

Kaia accepted the gift with a warm laugh. “Thank you, Elena. That’s very thoughtful of you.”

“Don’t mention it,” Elena replied with a dismissive wave. “After receiving five wedding gifts from Lucien over the years, I’d say I’m just evening the score.”

Kaia’s mouth twitched, barely hiding a grin.

Elena’s bluntness was refreshing–she said exactly what was on her mind, no filter needed.

Allen didn’t seem to mind one bit.

He never expected his daughter–in–law to grieve eternally for his late son. The love between Elena and his second son, Brayden Graves, had been profound, but life moved forward. When news of her remarriage reached him, Allen offered his heartfelt blessings without hesitation.

Sadly, Elena’s second marriage fizzled out quickly.

And that was when the distance between Elena and Alyssa began.

Later, Elena’s fourth marriage sparked a heated argument between her and Alyssa.

That marriage, too, crumbled after just three years.

Allen let out a heavy sigh. “Alyssa, come on, sit by your mom.”

Alyssa’s lips pressed into a tight line.

Instead of obeying, she dragged a chair next to Kaia and plopped down–a quiet act of defiance.

Allen’s face darkened, ready to say more, but Elena cut him off with a gentle wave.

“Allen, I’m leaving right after the wedding. But tomorrow… I’d like us to visit Brayden’s grave up in the mountains.”

At the mention of her father’s name, Alyssa’s fork clattered to her plate, her eyes blazing with anger. “Grandpa, I’m done. You guys take your time.”

Without a glance at anyone, she bolted upstairs, her footsteps echoing her frustration.

Allen shook his head, exasperated. “That girl… Elena, don’t take it personally—she’s spoiled rotten, that’s all.”
