My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 276

"Well, look who it is! Boss Langford has arrived."

"Lucian, man, it's been a minute."

"Heard you're about to be a dad! Huge congratulations!"

Lucian acknowledged the greetings with curt nods, taking a seat next to Julian and sipping his drink.

After a few rounds, the atmosphere grew rowdy.

Julian, already flushed red with alcohol, slung an arm clumsily around Lucian's shoulders. "Lucian, I gotta tell you... you got a wife and a kid now. You're not like us single guys anymore. You should probably skip these kinds of parties from now on."

"You think I actually wanted to come?" Lucian shot him a sidelong glance. "If it wasn't your birthday, I wouldn't be here."

"Fair enough," Julian chuckled, swaying slightly. "You know, you're a totally different person since you tied the knot. Now you revolve your whole life around your wife. You're completely whipped."

The surrounding guys erupted into laughter.

Lucian didn't even blink, taking a slow sip of his drink. "You got a problem with that?"

"Me? Never!" Julian threw his hands up in mock surrender. "I just think Seraphina is incredible. Honestly, mad respect. She managed to completely tame our ruthless CEO."

At the mention of Seraphina, the corner of Lucian's mouth ticked upward, a rare softness bleeding into his gaze.

Suddenly, Julian leaned in close, dropping his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Hey, there's some movement from Lawrence's camp. Word on the street is Landon is back?"

Landon was notorious for partying hard, meaning he had a massive circle of sleazy drinking buddies.

The moment he set foot in the country, the news had spread like wildfire.

Setting his glass down, Lucian spoke with icy indifference. "Don't worry. They can't make any waves."

He had kept tabs on Landon the entire time he was abroad, fully aware of every move he made.

Right now, he was just playing the long game, baiting the hook.
