Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 295 Is It Jerry

Last night, they had been intimate.

The doctor had warned against too much activity–especially with twins on the way.

Lucien had to hold back.

“Sleep,” he murmured.

If Kaia kept gazing at him with those soft, affectionate eyes, he wasn’t sure he could keep his self–control intact.

“Kaia, don’t think Dad’s going to favor you just because you topped the class.”

Kimberly’s voice was dripping with smugness. “Aren’t you taking the SAT next year? Mom said this summer’s trip is just for me and Dad. He’s coming too!”

“Kaia, since you’ll be focused on the SAT, we’ve decided not to take you on the trip this year,” Tobias had added without hesitation.

In the vast emptiness of the Domont Villa, only Claire stayed with her.

The disappointment lodged in her throat like a stone she couldn’t swallow.

She cried so hard that her eyes swelled red with inflammation.

Out of sheer frustration, Kaia had booted up the computer and downloaded several online games at random.
