Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Epilogue: Landon and Alyssa I

The night before Lucien left, he felt like drowning his thoughts

in a bottle.

Drinking alone was too dreary, so he called up Landon, who seemed just as weighed down by his own troubles.

“Lucien, tell me, what’s so wrong with me? Why doesn’t she see me?” Landon grumbled, swirling his glass.

Lucien shot him a sidelong glance, a wry smirk tugging at his lips.

In his mind, he scoffed. If he couldn’t win over the woman he loved, it was no surprise Landon was striking out.

“Who’s got you all twisted up?” Lucien asked, his curiosity piqued.

Landon glanced at him, hesitating, then dodged the question.

“What about you? Got your heart in knots too?”

Lucien didn’t answer, just poured himself another drink, the amber liquid catching the light.

Both men sat, wrapped in their private aches, glasses clinking

in a wordless toast to their shared misery.

Their only plan for the night was to drink until the world blurred.

Landon caved first, slumping over the table, mumbling Alyssa’s name as the driver helped him stumble back to his apartment.

No one was there to catch the quiet confession of his lonely heart.

*****

Alyssa and Landon had been at each other’s throats since they were kids.

To Alyssa, Landon was the pettiest guy she knew.

Older by years, he never let her win–not at games, not at anything.

As kids, he’d swipe her toys; as they grew, his teasing only got sharper.

From her earliest memories, Landon held the top spot on her list of people she couldn’t stand.
