“Well, really.”

It was already too late to whip up anything at home.

Allen had been pacing earlier, clearly anxious, but the moment he saw the two of them planning to head out for dinner, he let out a subtle sigh of relief.

Well, every problem’s got its answer.

Turns out, Lucien had finally met his match—and she was more than capable of keeping him in check.

Lucien didn’t eat much himself. Instead, he sat beside Kaia, carefully slicing the snacks into smaller pieces just for her.

Kaia beamed as she ate–her earlier gloom completely gone.

Even though she couldn’t have spicy food, they ordered a half–and–half pizza.

She leaned over to sniff the spicy side with a wistful grin, then eagerly tucked into the non–spicy chicken half. To her, it was perfect.

It wasn’t that Kaia was being stubborn about wanting pizza. She’d done her homework–an occasional mild indulgence was fine during pregnancy.

Still, she was in her first trimester, and she didn’t want to take any chances, especially not if it meant risking the baby’s health or skin. Better safe than sorry.

Sometimes, women really were easy to please.

After the meal, Lucien gently took her hand and led her on a slow walk to help with digestion.

They got home around 9:30 p.m., and by 10:30, Kaia was already in bed, completely spent after the emotional roller coaster earlier.

Squinting toward Lucien sitting at the desk under a soft pool of lamplight, she asked drowsily, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Lucien set down his notebook, leaned in, and kissed her gently on the eyes.

“I’ll sleep later. You go ahead. Good night, honey.”

“Good night, honey,” she mumbled, eyes already fluttering shut.
