Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 224 Chapter 224 George and Sabrina took care of everything after Emily died, keeping things low-key. Emily's death hit Sabrina hard. After all, she'd raised Emily herself. Even though Emily wasn't her blood, it still hurt like hell. George and Carter both knew what really happened, but neither of them told her. "Laura is just so evil. She lost her own daughter. Why did she have to take my Emily down with her?" Sabrina said, her voice trembling with anger and grief. George didn't say a word. He just stood at Emily's grave, putting some flowers in front of the tombstone.

He silently wished, 'Emily, I hope you get to be born into a better family in your next life. I hope you never have to go without love, never get so lost and hurt, and can finally live your life the way you want! Carter's face was unreadable. He'd come back just for this, standing in front of Emily's grave for a long time. Emily's death felt like it had wiped out the first twenty-six years of his life, leaving him right back where he'd started. "Carter, come home with me," Sabrina said. Since she and George had already divorced, she was talking about her own family.

Carter shook his head and said, "Mom, if you're not happy here, why don't you come abroad with me?" Sabrina was tempted. "I'll think about it," she said. Carter and George barely spoke to each other now, both of them more withdrawn than ever. Carter didn't go back to Harris Manor. He claimed he was swamped with work abroad and just took off. Nobody had a clue what he was really thinking. When Lucas heard about Emily's death in prison, he completely lost it. He went totally off the rails, slapping himself over and over, yelling, "It's all your fault!

It's all your fault!" Whitney was having a tough time in the last weeks of her pregnancy, so she took maternity leave and stayed home, just waiting for the babies to arrive. Klein took all his work home, so he could always be there for her, Sometimes he'd go for walks with her. Whenever her legs cramped up, he'd massage them for her. Whenever Whitney couldn't sleep, Klein would hold her close like/comforting a child, pick up a storybook, and read to her in a gentle voice until she finally fell asleep. A week before her due date, Whitney woke up in the middle of the night again.

"What's wrong?" Klein asked, his voice groggy with sleep. Whitney shook her head and said, "I need to go to the bathroom." Klein helped her to the bathroom. "Go ahead." 16:56 Thu, Jan 1 M. Chapter 224 Even though Klein was already the father of her children, Whitney still couldn't get used to using the bathroom with him. right there. Whitney gripped the rail. "Can you leave? I can't go with you watching." Klein just said, "It's okay. I won't look." He made a show of turning his back, pretending not to peek. "Go out," Whitney insisted, biting her lips. But the cheeky man still didn't leave.

Instead, he whistled playfully, getting himself a quick kick from Whitney, "Fine, just let me know when you're done. I'll be right outside the door, alright?" Klein said. "Alright," Whitney replied. Whitney didn't really need to pee. Her belly was just uncomfortable, so she just sat there for a while before coming out. Klein carefully helped her lie on her side, and then kissed her gently on the forehead. "Get some sleep, honey," he whispered. Whitney woke up half-awake and glanced at her phone. It was only six o'clock. As soon as she turned over, the man next to her immediately moved.

"Honey?" he said softly. "Klein, did you not sleep at all last night?" Whitney asked, feeling a pang of worry when she saw his "I did sleep, just not very deeply," Klein replied. Klein couldn't let his guard down for a second. He'd been quite alert these past few days. He was going to protect Whitney and their babies no matter what. eyes were bloodshot. ***** Three days before the due date, Klein showed up at the hospital with the hospital bag already packed and two handpicked maternity nurses by his side. Lena came to the hospital too, staying by Whitney's side.

Joanne couldn't be there in person, so she called Whitney to give her some encouragement. Just then, a man poked his head in. "Hey, Whitney! Where's Klein at? Let me have a word with him, will ya?" Oliver smirked and raised his eyebrows, looking all smug. Whitney blinked in surprise. 'Wait, are those two men on good terms again?' Whitney wondered. Oliver didn't get to see Klein. Joanne slapped him right across the face instead. The slap was sharp and loud. "Ouch! That stings!" Oliver howled. 16:56 Thu, Jan Chapter 224 EICA "Serves you right! I'm on a video call with my bestie.

What are you even doing here?" Joanne shot back. "Sorry, I just wanted to talk to Klein, alright?" Lucas whined. Truth was, he didn't really care about seeing Klein. He just wanted to show off in front of his friend. Whitney and Lena were both stunned. "Joanne, what have you done to him?" Lena blurted out, half-joking. Honestly, Lena was curious. How did Joanne get Oliver so whipped? Joanne just laughed, pretending Oliver didn't even exist, like he was just bad vibes. "Whit, I'll be waiting here for your big news," Joanne said. After hanging up, Whitney grinned.

"Looks like we'll be celebrating Joanne's wedding soon, huh?" Lena smiled. "Yeah, I think it won't be long now." Klein smirked, and just to keep anyone from showing off their relationship, he preemptively booted Oliver from the group chat. ***** Klein wanted to go into the delivery room with Whitney, but she wouldn't let him in. "It's okay. I want to handle this myself. Just wait for me and our babies outside, alright?" Whitney said, her voice steady. Klein bit back whatever he wanted to say, not wanting to mess with her focus at such a critical moment. "Alright," he finally agreed.

Whitney gave him a confident smile, her face without makeup on. "Wait for me.", She didn't want Klein to see her all messy and exhausted. She wanted to stay beautiful for him, no matter what. Outside the delivery room, Klein and Lena waited anxiously. At one point, Dustin came down to check on them. During that time, James called a few times to see how things were going. "Klein, congrats! You're about to be a dad!" Dustin said with a grin. "Two sons are just right to inherit you assets," he joked. Klein shot Dustin a frosty look.

"You looking for a fight?" Dustin rubbed his nose and didn't say another word. But after four hours went by, Klein was getting more and more on edge, his nerves starting to fray. "Why's it taking so long?" Klein grumbled, sounding anxious. "Relax, Klein. Every mom's different. Some take longer, and some are quick. Whitney's gonna be fine, trust me," Dustin said, trying to calm him down. Whitney had top docs watching her the whole time, and every test came back perfect. There was no way anything was gonna go wrong today. 16:56 Thu, Jan 1 MA Chapter 224 Dustin sounded totally sure of it.

But for Klein, every second that passed without seeing Whitney and the babies safe and sound was pure agony. He shut his eyes, doing everything he could to steady his nerves and keep it together. Lena could tell Klein was getting way too worked up, so she tried to distract him. "Uncle Klein, have you picked out names for the babies yet?" "Yeah, the girl's name is Summer, and her nickname is Poppy," Klein replied. Lena blinked. "And the boy?" "His name is Jace. Whitney picked it out," Klein said. "Oh," Lena said, "So what's his nickname?" "Lucky," Klein replied.

"Whitney says it's supposed to bring in the cash," he added with a grin. Lena just stared at him. 'Seriously? That's a little lazy, isn't it?' she thought. As they were talking, the delivery room door finally opened. A nurse came out, holding two tiny bundles. "Your son weighs 2.9kg, and he's the older one. Your daughter is 2.75kg, the younger. Congratulations, it's a boy-girl twin! A perfect pair!" Klein shot a quick look at the babies, his voice shaking as he asked, "Where's Whitney?" "She's totally fine. She'll be out any minute," the nurse said quickly.

Whitney, sweaty and pale, managed a weak smile. "Baby, we've got twins, a boy and a girl!" Klein squeezed her hand, his voice gentle and worried. "Are you in pain?" Whitney shook her head, her eyes searching. "I want to see the babies," she said softly. "We'll see them once we're back in the room," Klein reassured her. Klein, who had rarely posted on social media, actually put something up for once. He couldn't resist humblebragging like a proud new dad. [Guess who's got both a son and a daughter now?
