Chapter 227 A Honeymoon for Four

Kaia asked, “So–why are you back here?”

George gave a faint smile. “Just visiting. I plan to stay a month and then head out again.”

To Kaia, the Vane family was her true home, her only family. That’s why she felt genuinely happy when she saw him show up.

But while she was pleased, Lucien clearly wasn’t. He looked annoyed, like he was wondering why someone had come along to interrupt their little bubble.

Lucien pressed his lips together before asking, “So, where do you want to go, George? I can find a local guide and help plan something for you.”

George wasn’t one to let things slide, so of course, he noticed the faint hint of dislike in Lucien’s expression.

With a smirk, he teased, “No need. A hired guide isn’t the same as family. It’d be kind of boring, if you ask me. Kaia, just show me around yourself when you’re free.”

Lucien choked on his words for a moment, but his sweet, oblivious wife immediately agreed with a grin.

“Sure! I was just about to start my annual leave anyway. I’ll check out some spots when I get back and take you around.”

Lucien cleared his throat a few times, adding, “Actually, I’m free too. I’ll come along.”

George’s voice dripped with teasing.

“You sure? You’ve got so much on your plate, Lucien. I’d hate to waste your time.”

“Nothing to worry about. It’s settled,” Lucien replied flatly.

Kaia caught the tone and shot him a glare.

“Go handle your own work. I can take George around myself.”

On the way home, she was still fuming.

“Why were you so passive–aggressive with George today?”

Lucien stayed silent, his lips pressed tight.

Kaia frowned. “Hey, I’m asking you a question here.”
