Chapter 233 Try for a Baby

Kaia did the math–if she went abroad for her studies, she wouldn’t be back for two years. By then, Lucien would be thirty–six.

She also recalled the dinner at Graves Manor last week. Allen hadn’t been subtle at all when he brought up the idea of them having a baby.

The thought weighed on her more than she wanted to admit.

She dragged her feet until it was already ten.

Lucien had just come back from a business dinner. The sharp, heavy scent of alcohol clung to him the moment he walked through the door.

Kaia wrinkled her nose and gently pushed him away. “You’ve been drinking? How much did you have?”

He chuckled, a little off balance. “Yeah, drank a bit too much tonight. Can’t really avoid it sometimes,”

His face was flushed, his lips curved in that familiar smile. “But I’m thinking I’ll start handing these dinners off to someone else. Cut back on the drinking.”

He imagined a daughter who looked just like Kaia—someone he could dote on and protect.

With two princesses at home, he’d gladly spend the rest of his life loving and spoiling them both.

A son would be great too, though he imagined he’d be a little stricter with a boy.

But then a daughter after that–so the older brother could protect his little sister, even long after Lucien was gone.

The vision of that life–of a full, noisy, love–filled home–warmed him from the inside out. His gaze, hazy with alcohol, turned impossibly tender.

But Kaia… felt a knot tighten deep in her chest.

A baby? Now?

Lucien reached out and gently pinched her cheek. “It’s okay, Don’t be scared. If you’re not ready this year, we’ll try next year,
