My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 310

However, that mercy was entirely contingent on Landon never crossing his absolute bottom line.

Now that Lucian had a family to protect, his guard against his half-brother was impenetrable.

Furthermore, Landon's sudden and aggressive networking with the Monroe family made his sinister intentions glaringly obvious to Lucian.

Lucian tossed his phone onto the side table and closed his eyes.

Landon...

Did he honestly believe an alliance with the Monroes would be enough to overthrow him?

He was ridiculously naive.

Some things, he could ignore.

But if anyone dared to threaten the people he cherished, he would personally ensure they learned the true, agonizing definition of regret.

He turned his gaze toward Hudson sleeping in the bassinet, and then to Seraphina resting peacefully in bed. The lethal ice in his eyes instantly dissolved into absolute devotion.

...

Landon, however, was far from idle.

He was rapidly accelerating his timeline; sitting around waiting was no longer an option.

The day of the art exhibition arrived with flawless, sunlit weather.

Melody Monroe selected a breathtaking champagne-colored gown, pairing it with delicate pearl earrings.

An understated white gold necklace rested lightly against her collarbone.

It couldn't look like she was trying too hard.

Or so she told herself.

But she also couldn't look too casual.

Her phone buzzed. It was a text from Landon: [I'm here. Waiting at the front door.]

Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Melody grabbed her designer clutch and stepped outside.

This was her golden opportunity, and she refused to let it slip through her fingers.

A sleek black Maybach sat idling in front of her villa. Landon leaned casually against the car door, dressed in a sharp, dark grey tailored suit over a crisp dress shirt. He skipped the tie, projecting an aura that was equal parts refined and effortlessly cool.

Seeing her approach, a charming smile touched his lips. He pulled open the passenger door.
