Skipped at the altar, Taken by his uncle Novel

Chapter 87 Chapter 87 When Carter and Emily got back from their wedding photoshoot, they found the house unusually lively. Carter saw his mother, Sabrina, holding Lena's hand, asking her something he couldn't quite catch. "Hey Mom, Lena, you're both home," Carter greeted them. 10 vouchers Lena's phone had just gotten wrecked, so she wasn't in the best mood. She shot the two of them a quick glance. When she saw Emily holding Carter's hand, she gave a subtle pout.

She suddenly found herself dying to know what kind of face Carter would make if he ever found out that Whit got married and her husband was none other than Uncle Klein. Just thinking about it instantly lifted her mood, and she almost forgot about her broken phone. Lena blinked expectantly and asked, "Hey Carter, nothing much. Did you know Uncle Klein got married?" Carter frowned and said, "Married? Who did Uncle Klein marry? Was it that girlfriend he used to post about on his socials?" Lena smirked and said, "No clue. But I bet his wife is drop-dead gorgeous, sweet as honey, and super kind.

Otherwise, how could she have Uncle Klein totally wrapped around her finger, right?" Carter was puzzled. 'Since when did Lena and Uncle Klein get so close?' he wondered. Uncle Klein had always kept a polite distance from the younger generation, never really getting too close or too distant. He was just so cold. One glance from those cold eyes was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine. Emily, never one to miss a chance to tease, grinned and said, "Oh, Lena, you really seem to like Uncle Klein's wife. So, have you actually met her?" All eyes were instantly turned to Lena.

Sabrina leaned in, curious, "Lena, you really met her? Why didn't you tell us? So, whose daughter is she? She must be some rich girl, right?" Emily added softly, "If Uncle Klein's interested in her, she must be pretty extraordinary." Lena's eyes glinted. 'No way I'm letting Whit get dragged down. Time to clap back for my bestie!' she thought. "Aunt Sabrina, I haven't actually met Uncle Klein's wife. But come on, he's way too picky for all that.

Every rich girl in Ravorport is desperate to marry him, but he doesn't even blink at them, What matters to him is what's on the inside," Lena said, giving Emily a sly sideways glance. "And let's be real, not every girl has the real deal." Emily's face changed instantly. 'Lena is totally throwing shade at me with that look!' Emily thought. But the rest of the family didn't seem to catch on. James paused and said, "Lena's right. Klein has always been the type who doesn't tolerate even the tiniest flaw. He only wants the absolute best.

So whoever he chooses, you know she's gotta be top- tier." "Exactly, Grandpa! I totally agree with you! You're so wisel" Lena chimed in. Emily bit her lips. 'Best? Is Grandpa implying I'm not good enough?' she wondered. Her grip on Carter's arm suddenly tightened, and she didn't even notice how tense she'd gotten. 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 87 Carter glanced down at her and asked, "What's wrong, Emily?" Emily forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just a bit of a stomachache." Carter nodded absentmindedly and said, "Maybe your period's coming soon." Emily felt a pang in her chest.

Her period had just ended, and Carter had always remembered every little thing about her. Her nose tingled as she fought backtears. 10 vouchers 'Why does it feel like Carter's getting more distant, even though we're about to get married?' Emily wondered. Sabrina was done listening to James singing Klein's praises, so she quickly shifted the topic back to Carter and Emily. "Carter, when are you and Emily going to make it official?" Sabrina asked. Carter was caught off guard by his mom's sudden question. "We'll do it in a few days." he answered. Sabrina frowned, clearly annoyed.

"No, do it tomorrow! You've already taken your wedding photos. Why are you dragging your feet about the license?" she said. Since there was no changing the fact that Emily had gone from being like a daughter to a daughter-in-law, Sabrina figured they might as well just get it done sooner rather than later. James's smile faded a bit. "Yeah, go ahead and get it done. Klein's already taken care of his. You two should hurry up." he said. Emily's eyes sparkled with hope as she looked at Carter. The thing that really bothered her was how Carter had kept dragging his feet about making it official.

Carter pursed his lips and said, "Alright. I've got something at work tomorrow, so we'll go the day after." Emily, who had just been acting all weak and helpless, instantly perked up, and her cheeks flushed. "Really, Carter?" she said. Looking at the girl he'd always spoiled growing up, seeing those bright eyes overflowing with love for him, Carter could only swallow the bitterness. "Of course," Carter said gently. Lena rolled her eyes secretly. 'Ugh, as if anyone wants to watch your sappy drama,' she thought. "Grandpa, my phone's busted. I'm gonna go get it fixed.

I won't be back for dinner tonight," Lena said, waving her hand. She said she was going to get her phone fixed, but what she was really thinking was, 'Time to milk Uncle Klein for a favor!" 'He snatched my bestie, so he's gotta pay!' Lena thought. James didn't notice anything off. "Go ahead, but don't bother fixing it. It's just a phone. Just get a new one." he said. Lena snorted and said, "No way, my phone's got all my treasures on it." ***** Whitney had only packed two suitcases, and then called out to Klein, who was lounging on the couch, "Let's go.

I'm done packing." 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 87 ►M. Klein raised his eyebrows, clearly not impressed, "That's it?" "Klein, I can't pack everything in one go. We'll just take it slow," Whitney said. 10 vouchers Whitney thought to herself, 'If we ever break up, at least I won't have to deal with hauling all my stuff back Klein didn't let her get away with her little schemes. "It's fine, we'll get everything moved. I hired a moving company, and they're sending ten people over to handle your stuff. Don't worry.

They'll organize and pack up every single thing, and not a single item will get damaged." he said. Whitney froze. 'Do I even get a say in this?' she thought. "Klein, isn't this a bit much?" Whitney said. Klein looked perfectly calm and said, "It's not a hassle at all. I've already paid for everything. You just have to give a few instructions, that's it. It's ten now. By twelve, they'll have everything packed up. By one, it'll all be set up in our new place." The sudden change threw Whitney for a loop.

She couldn't even think of a good excuse to say no, so she ended up having to accept it whether she liked it or not. Two hours later, Whitney watched as her cozy little apartment was practically stripped bare. After insisting as hard as she could, she managed to keep a few sets of pajamas and some daily necessities. Everything else was gone. Whitney felt strangely upset. Ever since graduating college, she'd been living alone.

From cramming for grad school exams to hustling at her first job, and then from scraping by in rentals to finally calling this apartment her own, it had been quite a journey for her. Honestly, this place had seen her through every major milestone. But now, just like that, her things were all packed up and gone. Klein naturally took her hand, his deep eyes seeming to read her every thought. "Don't feel upset. Whenever you want to come back, I'll come with you." he said.

Whitney let out a sigh and said, "Alright, let's head out." As Martin and the movers finished sorting all of Whitney's stuff into the rooms, the whole second floor suddenly looked so much more vibrant and full of life. Lena peeked around curiously, watching people hustling in and out of Uncle Klein's villa, and then trailed after them upstairs. "Martin, is Uncle Klein doing some kind of renovation or what?" Lena asked. As soon as she finished it, Lena spotted two figures standing side by side nearby.

Klein, who was usually all cold and distant, was standing in the light with his back slightly turned. He dipped his head a little. For once, Lena caught a rare softness in his expression. Whitney's long hair draped over her shoulders, and her cheeks were flushed a rosy pink, making her look just like a sweet, blushing peach. It was just a simple look between them, but Lena could totally feel the sweet chemistry, like there were sparks of love in the air. 13:09 Wed, Dec 24 Chapter 87 'Wow, I think I'm actually shipping them now,' Lena thought, a little caught off guard by herself.
