Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 220 Chapter 220 KIKA That evening. Whitney got a message from Valerie. [Whitney, thanks! I got the suit back. I'll return it tomorrow!] Whitney finally felt relieved. Whitney replied. [Good. Go return it tomorrow. Next time, don't spend your money on losers like him again!] [I know, thanks. Love you!] Valerie replied. "Stop looking at your phone, honey. Pay attention to me!" Klein grumbled as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Whitney turned around to face him. "Klein, you're so clingy," she teased. "Only to you," he replied.

Whitney leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. Klein's eyes darkened as he pulled her back into his arms, deepening the kiss like he was claiming her all over again. Every time he kissed her, it was so intense that it left her dizzy and tingling. With him kissing her, her senses went into overdrive, and all that remained was the mingling of their breaths. They gasped for air, unable to pull away from each other. Klein was careful to follow the doctor's advice. Whitney could barely take it anymore. "That should be enough for today," she said. "No," Klein thought to himself.

'Once a week. Doing it too often isn't good for the babies. Seeing how much he held himself back made her heart ache for him. She watched him walk barefoot into the bathroom, going to cool himself down with a cold shower again. ***** Lena came to visit Whitney, When she heard what Whitney had to say, her jaw dropped. Lena suddenly had a lightbulb moment, like someone had just slapped her awake. "No wonder! Whit, I can't believe I missed so many details before!" Lena exclaimed. Whitney raised her eyebrows and asked, "What details?" "Whit, I remember the first time you came over to my place.

You kept your head down and just ate the veggies and fish. Later, I found out you had all those food allergies. Do you remember that?" Lena said. Honestly, Whitney barely remembered that. Whenever she was at an elder's house, she was always extra careful and reserved. 16:55 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 220 Whenever she was a guest, she followed four golden rules: speak less, watch less, listen less, and eat less. 54 b youchers "And after that, every time you came over, there was always fish on the table! I was actually jealous, wondering how come the chef always made your favorite dish.

Uncle Klein must've made sure of it!" Lena said. Whitney raised her eyebrows. "Really?" "Definitely!" Lena insisted. Lena clapped her hands. "Oh! No wonder Uncle Klein got so drunk the night you got engaged to Carter. He just sat out in the garden for ages, letting the wind blow over him. I didn't even dare go up and talk to him!" "And the very next day, Uncle Klein left the country!" Lena added. "And another thing! I noticed Uncle Klein never really liked Emily. Every time Emily tried to mess with me, Uncle Klein would always make it right for me.

I used to think we just liked the same things, but turns out he was actually standing up for you the whole time!" Lena said. Whitney just stared, speechless. "Lena, seriously, there were so many signs?" Whitney asked. Lena pulled out her phone and tapped on Uncle Klein's profile picture. "Look, his nickname is Sinny. Isn't that just your name and his, put together?" Lena felt so smart right now. But she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. How had she missed all these signs until now? Whitney felt sweet and a little emotional. "Alright, alright. I get it.

I know how much he's into me." Lena gave her a look. "What about you?" Whitney grinned. "Of course I do too." It wasn't just a moment of being touched. She was truly, deeply in love. ***** The next day at the law firm, Whitney was planning to check in on Valerie, but Frank told her Valerie had taken the day off. Whitney couldn't help but worry, so she sent Valerie a message. But Valerie didn't reply. 'She probably just needs some space to heal after the breakup,' Whitney thought to herself. But after Valerie had been out for a whole week, Whitney couldn't help but get curious.

"Hey, what's up with Valerie's leave?" Whitney asked her colleague The HR lady pulled up Valerie's request on the work app. "She said it was bereavement leave. Her grandma passed away, so she went back home." 'Wait, grandma?' Whitney thought, puzzled. Whitney had never heard Valerie mention her grandma before. But Lucas still came in every day, though he wasn't wearing those shoes Valerie gave him anymore. 16:55 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 220 In the break room. Lucas blinked, looking confused. "Whitney, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face? Whitney shook her head.

"Nope. Just looking." Whitney tried calling Valerie again, but no one picked up. She sent a message, but of course, there was still no reply. Whitney couldn't help but feel uneasy, like something was off. During lunch break, Whitney scrolled through her chat history with Valerie, and her eyes narrowed as she realized something. 'Wait, that's not right! Valerie told me her grandma died when she was a kid!' Whitney thought, her heart skipping a beat. She suddenly remembered. Valerie had mentioned it offhand in a chat two years ago. She only realized after digging through their old messages.

Whitney took the day off and went straight to the police station. "Miss, are you saying you suspect something happened to your friend?" the officer asked. "Yes! She said she needed bereavement leave because her grandma died, but her grandma's been gone for years, so that excuse doesn't add up. I even went by her apartment, but nobody answered the door," Whitney explained. The officers exchanged glances. "From what you're saying, her reason for taking leave might be fake, but you all have to apply on your company app, right?

Surely no one else would use her phone to do that." "Didn't you mention she's been feeling down after a breakup? Maybe she just needs some space to herself. Try not to worry," one of the officers said. Whitney had no choice but to leave the police station, her head hanging low. 'Is she really just trying to be alone?' Whitney wondered. But Valerie was always the life of the party. Whitney even checked with her neighbors, but none of them had seen her for days. 'Maybe she really did go back to her hometown to be alone for a while?' Whitney thought, still feeling uneasy.

She messaged the HR lady. [Do you have Valerie's emergency contact info?] Whitney's heart was pounding as she waited for a reply. Whitney had just stepped out of the police station and was about to get in her car when she saw a message from HR. [Whitney, she didn't fill out an emergency contact.] Feeling frustrated, Whitney was about to call Klein when Lucas knocked on her car window. "Wow, Whitney, I didn't expect to run into you here. Were you just at the police station?" Lucas asked. Whitney sat up straighter, narrowing her eyes at him. "Were you following me?" Lucas gave a wry smile.

"Why would I follow you, Whitney? Last time, your husband kind of misunderstood me, so I wanted to clear things up and say sorry." Lucas asked, "Hey Whitney, mind giving me a lift back to the office?" 16:55 Thu, Jan 1 M Chapter 220 ETEA 54 EB Vouchers Whitney gave him a suspicious look, but still unlocked the door for him. "Forget it. There's nothing to clear up," Whitney replied. Whitney let him in, hoping she could get him to spill something. "Lucas, were you seeing Valerie before?" Whitney asked. There was a cold glint behind Lucas's glasses, masking the dangerous look in his eyes.

Lucas said with a smile, "Yeah, we dated. But it's over now, Whitney." Lucas's voice was casual, but there was something off about it. "You're not thinking her going missing has anything to do with me, are you?" Whitney could't help clenching her fists. She kept her voice steady. "When did I ever say she was missing?" Lucas let out a low, menacing chuckle. When he looked up, his eyes were cold and dangerous. "You even went to the police station. Do you really think I'm that clueless?" 田 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 16:55 admin
