All Chapters of One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

131LUCAS’ POV.I stared at her. A beautiful creature, radiating with brilliance under the moonlight. She was the most beautiful thing ever.Her large dark eyes filled up with tears over and over again, and they fell quickly down her fair cheeks.She hadn’t changed out of her wedding dress, and her makeup and veil were still on her. Just the mere sight of her, and immeasurable joy filled my heart, but that joy shared that space with pain that also couldn’t be measured.It seemed deep down, I had actually wanted to see her before leaving, but the rational part of me knew that seeing her would make it hard to leave.And when she expressed her feelings, telling me she also loved me, with such desperation, and fearlessness, I couldn’t help the heat wave that rose within me. It felt like my heart was rising. A mix of joy and sorrow I had never experienced clouded me.Was I really leaving her behind? When I’d already confirmed that she felt the same? That she wasn’t just comfortable or frie

133LUCAS’ POV.Unbelievably, Emily and I stayed up the night. We watched several movies, and talked about the stars splayed across the midnight blue sky.When the air became colder with the night, we cuddled, and talked about every and anything. It felt like we were somewhere else; The breeze, the warm sand, the roaring waters, the moon and stars watching, and shedding their warm lights over us.It was at dawn that we finally left the beach, heading back to the mansion.“What’s your favorite season?” She asked me, putting her hand out of the car.“Spring.” I answered.“Really?”“My preferences change with time, but right now, I think I’m in love with spring.” I replied, glancing at her.“I guess everyone loves Spring. The blooming flowers, trees growing new leaves, warmer weather.” She said, still looking out the window.“What’s your favorite season?” I asked.“Autumn.” She replied, without skipping a beat.“Autumn?”“Rain, autumn leaves, chilly breeze. It gives me the feeling of sit

135LUCAS’ POV.His footsteps approached my door hastily.“Where the hell did you put my wife!?” He asked, and Emily’s eyes went wide with fear. She rolled off me, and immediately snatched her T-shirt from the bed.She made for the bathroom at first, but changed her mind as John’s footsteps got dangerously near. Her feet went in the opposite direction, and she hid behind the drapes.I on the other hand, took my shirt, and put it on. I had just sat on the bed when my door was pushed open.“You should knock.” I said, in a low rumbling voice.“Where is Emily? Where the hell did you guys go to?” He asked, angrily.I got up, and walked towards him, digging my hands into my pockets. Through my side-eye, I caught movement behind the drapes, and leaned in closer to John to distract him.“Is that beer I smell on you? Isn’t it way too early to be drinking?” I asked, moving backwards, as he hit me with beer breath as each word tumbled out of his mouth.“We just got married. We should be together

137LUCAS’ POV.My face morphed into a more serious one, and I leaned backwards to let him know that I was firm on it. Besides, it couldn’t be called an affair, since John’s greedy act couldn’t be called a marriage either.A marriage was between two willing parties, who wanted to spend forever together, and an affair was what happened when one or both lovers had a legitimate lover.“It’s not an affair.” I said, coolly. At that point, I couldn’t leave Emily for anything. The love between us was something John could never hope to provide. Tearing us apart would be dooming two individuals.“You’re in love with a married woman, and I don’t know what you’re probably doing with her, but you should stop. If this gets out somehow, you will suffer the most. You will take a huge hit, Granger or not. An affair doesn’t look good on you. No, not with your reputation. Aside from that, you shouldn’t forget the kind of marriage contract she signed. It is the Alpha Marriage for crying out loud. Do you

139JOHN’S POV.That day, two men had come with their documents, wanting to apply for the post of a personal assistant, which Katie had left open. Seeing them, and noticing their little faults here and there, only made me miss Katie all the more. She was efficient in all the ways one could imagine. She always had an answer prepared for every question.In some ways, she had become a friend, and her absence made me feel completely alone—like there was no one on my side.Due to the two men having different faults, I hired them both, so they could complement each other. What the first one didn’t have, the second could make up for it.But I had to agree that both of them were good at picking drinks. I had told them I needed something really strong, and they provided just what I needed.I needed to think hard on my next move. Emily seemed to be completely drawn to Lucas. She was fine with me not talking to her, fine with us not crossing paths, even when she didn’t see me for a whole day, I
