Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 175 .55 vouchers The next day, Whitney asked Klein if she should go with him to Harris Manor to have a proper talk about it. Going abroad was a big deal. What if James didn't approve? But Klein told her he'd talk to them himself and just bring it up at dinner in front of everyone. "This is just between you and me. We don't need anyone else's approval," Klein said. Honestly, Whitney felt like Klein was invincible. He always had everything under control, and she never had to stress about anything when he was around. Whitney felt a pang in her heart. "Klein, what if I miss you?

Are you really not going to come see me?" Klein's expression stayed serious. "No. You've chosen this path. No matter how tough it gets, you'll have to walk it on your own." Whitney headed to the law firm, while Klein went back to Harris Manor. When James heard what Klein had to say, his eyes widened. "Studying abroad? Is the Harris Group going bankrupt or something? Can't you even help your own wife anymore?" James snapped. Klein pursed his lips and said, "Dad, she wants to improve herself on her own.

She doesn't want to take shortcuts just because of me." James frowned, and then let out a sigh. "Whitney's got her own ideas. I get where she's coming from." But then James said, "But Klein, won't your feelings cool off after a year apart? By the time she gets back, you'll be pushing thirty-six, and still no kids to show for it..." "Dad," Klein cut him off, raising his eyebrows, "Relax. I can have kids. I'm not going to tie her down. What if she ends up blaming me for it? If she wants to go for it, let her. I've got her back, no matter what." "And stop talking about kids in front of her.

That's just giving her pressure. If you're that desperate for a baby, maybe you should find yourself a new partner. You're still fit enough for it." With a loud bang, James hurled an ashtray, and it landed right at Klein's feet. James was furious. "Don't you talk to your old man like that!" 'Man, he's so whipped by his wife. He doesn't even show his old man some respect!' James grumbled to himself. "Alright, why do you think I'm always nagging you? I'm just worried you won't be able to have kids! Besides, you're getting up there in age.

When Whitney comes back after a year, she'll still be young and fresh. There are so many temptations abroad. Who knows, maybe she'll meet someone younger and better than you and just dump you." Chapter 175 Klein's temples started to throb. 'Is this really my dad? He never has anything nice to say about me, Klein thought. "No way. She'd never leave me," Klein said. 'Come on, I'm a catch. She'd never walk away from me,' Klein thought, feeling a bit smug. 555 vouchers James couldn't be bothered with his son's smug attitude, so he waved Klein off, wanting him out of sight and out of mind.

Meanwhile, when Lena heard the news, she was totally stunned. "Whit, you're really going abroad for a whole year?" Lena blurted out. Whitney nodded. "Yeah, it'll be over before you know it. I probably won't be back at all during that time, so promise you'll miss me, Lena." she said. Lena clung to her, looking totally unwilling to let go. "You're just leaving me like this? Wait, did Uncle Klein actually agree to this?" "Yep, he did," Whitney replied. Lena looked genuinely surprised. "He actually agreed? I mean, Uncle Klein's such a clingy man.

I thought he'd be booking a ticket to follow you the very next day." Lena wasn't just guessing. From what she'd seen lately, it was clear to her that Uncle Klein was the one who'd really fallen hard in this marriage. Whitney gave a wry smile. "Nope. He only agreed on the condition that he wouldn't contact me at all for a whole year. He won't even come see me. He'll just wait until I get back." Lena was stunned. "No way! Did Uncle Klein hit his head or something?" After Whitney finished explaining, Lena nodded, lost in thought. "No wonder. Whit, you've got guts.

You're the first person who's ever managed to pull one over on Uncle Klein," Lena said. Whitney gave a bitter smile. 'Yeah, I really messed up this time,' she thought. "Alright, Whit, just go and fly! I'll keep an eye on things here for you. Think of me as your undercover agent! Trust me, not a single girl will get close to Uncle Klein on my watch. I'll be keeping tabs on him like a hawk!" Lena grinned. Whitney chuckled. "Seriously, that's not necessary. Men don't need babysitting." The more a girl tried to keep tabs on a man, the further he would run.

Whitney was sure of herself, and her trust in Klein was absolute. Even if that trust fell apart again, even if she came back and found there was no room for her in his life... She'd leave with dignity. She'd never force herself to stay. At dinner, Whitney announced the news to everyone. Carter narrowed his eyes, watching the two of them closely, trying to catch even the slightest sign of tension between them.

Klein just let his wrist rest lazily on the back of Whitney's chair, shooting Carter a look that basically said, 'Don't even think about it.' The two men were locked in a silent standoff, neither willing to back down. Sabrina was honestly surprised by the news. 'When you're the favorite, you really can do whatever you want,' she thought. 'She really has the nerve to leave for a whole year,' Sabrina scoffed secretly. 'What if Klein finds a new girl while she's gone? She's really that confident he won't move on?' Sabrina thought, a bit incredulous. But that was none of Sabrina's business.

"Wow, Whitney, I really envy you. You get to go abroad whenever you want, but my own daughter can't even come back home." "Life really is unfair, isn't it?" Klein pursed his lips and said, "Sabrina, why don't you just go abroad too? That way you can see your daughter every day. Or maybe in your next life, she'll be born into a better family, and with a better brain. How about that?" Sabrina was so stunned that her face turned red, and she couldn't get a word out. George frowned. "Alright, that's enough from you too, Klein.

Cut it out." He wasn't exactly happy with Klein's words, but since his wife started it, he couldn't really blame his brother. "Whitney, be careful abroad. Klein, send a couple more people to look after her. The security there isn't as good as here," George said. Whitney smiled. "No need, George. I'll be fine on my own." "If other international students can handle it, so can I." ***** The night before Whitney left, Klein gripped her waist and refused to let go, keeping her close for hours. It was like they were losing themselves in one last, wild night together.

Again and again, he left his mark on her. There wasn't a single inch of Whitney he hadn't claimed. It was as if he was trying to brand her as his, making sure she'd never forget who she belonged to. As Whitney was about to fall asleep, Klein kept pestering her, "If you meet a guy who's taller, better looking. and richer than me, would you ditch me for him?" Whitney was so exhausted that she could barely open her eyes. "Never." But Klein wouldn't let it go. "You mean it?" "Yes," Whitney replied, getting a little annoyed. She gave him a playful bite.

"There's no man out there taller, better looking, or richer than you. Klein, you're the only one I want," she murmured. Her words made Klein's eyes grow misty with emotion. By the time dawn crept in, Klein finally let her go, leaving both of them spent and tangled in each other's arms. Whitney woke up to her alarm at ten. After lunch, she was ready to head out. As she was about to leave, she lingered outside Klein's study, not wanting to go. "Klein, are you really not going to see me off?" she asked, her voice soft and a little sad. Klein's tone was firm. "No.

I'll have Marco take you." Whitney felt a lump in her throat. 'We're about to say goodbye, and he's really being this heartless?' she thought. She huffed, hurt and frustrated, "Fine, don't bother!" With a huff, she stomped down the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the house. Once her suitcase was loaded into the car, Whitney felt a wave of regret. 'I should've given him a hug before I left,' she thought, regret washing over her. After all, for a whole year, she wouldn't get to feel that strong, warm embrace again.

She was scrunching up her face, all conflicted, when suddenly someone knocked on her car window. Whitney looked up, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw Klein. She hopped out of the car and launched herself straight into his arms. Klein hugged her tight, holding her like he never wanted to let go, like he wished he could fuse her right into his bones. He kissed the top of her head and said, "Take care of yourself, you hear me?" He sounded possessive, but she could hear the reluctance in his voice. Chapter 175 Whitney buried her face in the crook of his neck and nodded with all her might.

55 Vouchers "I will. You too. Promise me you won't even glance at other girls, okay?" she said, half teasing, half serious. Klein gave a soft chuckle. "Not a chance." Everyone knew that in Klein's world, there was only room for her. Whitney thought Klein was coming down to see her off at the airport, but he just fussed over her clothes and scooped her up, settling her into the car himself. Whitney felt a bittersweet ache in her chest. 'He's so cold, seriously, she thought. As Whitney stepped onto the plane, she couldn't help glancing back at the place she'd called home for so long.

After twenty-six years in her hometown, she was really about to say goodbye, even if it was just for a year. Marco stood there, watching the plane take off. He glanced over at Klein and asked, "Mr. Harris, why didn't you let Mrs. Harris know you were here?" Klein's eyes flickered. "I just didn't want to make it even harder for her to leave." 'Honestly, I was scared I'd regret it myself,' he thought. 'And maybe I'd lose control and just drag her back. "Let's go back," Klein said, his voice low.
