‘Could it be that I actually care about his uncle? “What would people say if they found out you’re dating my uncle?” Neven continued, voice venomous, his breath hot against my ear. “They’ll probably call you a gold-digging whore.

I whispered under my breath. “What did he say?” My voice trembled despite me. He only shrugged, sauntering closer. “I don’t think you should concern yourself with that. Unless, of course, you’d like your heart broken knowing your dear uncle traded you away like spare change.” My chest tightened. “What are you talking about?” He chuckled, low and merciless. “I mean, your uncle sold you to me.

She had already given half of her assets to me during the settlement agreement, and now, after getting sucked dry by Devin, the company was plunged into a financial crisis.

Elena tried not to listen, but Eric's tense voice made it hard to ignore. After a few minutes, Eric returned with a calmer expression, although something seemed to be stuck on his face. "What happened?" Elena asked cautiously. Eric smiled slightly. "My uncle is in Lisbon. He said he wanted to stop by and see me. He'll be here," he said with some hesitation.

Determination filled Chicago's beautiful eyes, "Uncle is a good man, helping children to build schools, I can't let him be trapped by a bad Aunty! Chicago must take Uncle away!" Chicago strode out. Wendy, as if she had lost her soul, followed her, barely breathing. "Uncle!" When they saw Darwin, a strange man was talking with him, trying to stuff a business card into Darwin's hand. Aunty Annoyance hadn't returned yet! Chicago thought, now is the moment to take Uncle and run! "Isn't this the little artist!" exclaimed the unfamiliar uncle with a beaming smile, "Ah, so you're a child from Mr. Solomon's household! No wonder you're so smart!"

He swings his big arms wide apart and wraps me in a big papa bear hug. “Dad missed you too.” He pecks the side of my face and helps me ease into him. “Come on, don't be scared. Uncle doesn't bite.” My heart leaps! My eyes dash through the room to my supposedly innocent uncle. The top of his lip curves in a smirk, one I know too well. “He said you got so lazy this period and couldn't handle the hit.” He whispers as if he is gossiping. “And that you ran away.” This time, he bursts into laughter.

I was willing to deal with him for bringing up such a past, but just then, Caleb, his so-called foolish son, ran up towards him. “That's enough, Uncle Caspian.” He placed his hand on my chest as he pushed me away from his father. “You killed your own father, and here you are fighting mine? You wish to kill him too?” As he pointed his hand at me, speaking to me—his uncle—with disrespect, I didn't hesitate to teach him a tiny lesson.

Spike and Star’s cute barks calmed him as he kissed them both, clutching them to his chest. Then he continued. “My chaotic family was the reason I never wished to introduce you to them.
