Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

“Klein, was it really worth embarrassing your brother for her?” Jarnes let out a lent sigh.

The last thing he wanted was to see his two sons fighting

“Why wouldn’t it be worth it?” Klein shot back.

“Dad, Mom, and Mrs. Moore set up this engagement. I never had any objections. If Carter had truly cherished her. I would’ve kept my distance and never come back, Klein said.

“But he doesn’t know what love is, or what it means to cherish someone. He realized his feelings only after losing her. Isn’t a little too late for regrets now?” Klein added.

“As the elder, I always believed in giving the first one a chance. But if the first can’t measure up, don’t blame me for stepping in,” Klein said.

James blinked in shock. “When did this all start?”

Klein’s eyes narrowed, his whole vibe casual and a little defiant, but those sharp eyes were dead serious. “Way before you ever realized.”

James froze, then cursed to himself, ‘Just what kind of monster did I end up raising?”

When Klein stepped out of James’s study, he glanced around but didn’t see Whitney anywhere. Finally, he spotted the two girls whispering together in the garden.

“Babe, it’s getting late. Time to go home,” Klein called out.

Lena glanced at Klein and caught the quick frown on his face. She shot up from her seat. “Oh, Whit, hurry up and go home with Uncle Klein.

“Haha, guess it’s my fault for keeping you here chatting. Uncle Klein, I won’t see you guys off,” Lena said.

Klein leisurely curled his lips into a smile, clearly in a great mood. “No rush. Take your time going upstairs.”

Lena was speechless.

‘Is he for real, or just messing with me?’ Lena thought to herself.

She was worried that if she actually slowed down, Klein would hit her with that death glare again.

Whitney watched Lena vanish in a flash, then gave Klein a slightly sulky look. “Why’d you have to freak Lena out like that?

“We haven’t hung out in forever,” Whitney mumbled.

Klein strolled over and took her warm, soft hand. “Got it. I’ll send her a little treat later to make up for it. Let’s head hous yeah?”

His voice was low and smooth, with a hint of laughter, making Whitney’s ears burn red.

If he kept this up, she couldn’t help but think he’d been planning this from the very beginning.

Muttering to herself as she headed upstairs, Lena got the notification of the transfer.

“Grandpa, Uncle Klein and Whit’s love story just hit me right in the feels. I’m so moved I could cry! Grandpa, I’m gonna go to my room and have a good cry. I’ll be fine. Lena said, laying it on thick.

James was left speechless.

“With acting chops like hers, she should be winning an Oscar! he thought.

He started wondering if his granddaughter was getting a bit old to still be single. She didn’t even like that Reed kid. ‘Honestly, who do girls her age even have a crush on these days? he mused.

Ivan was discharged after just three days in the hospital.

Meanwhile, the show kept rolling.

Whitney noticed that Justin looked way more lively than before, and she felt a weight off her shoulders.

At least Klein’s risk had actually paid off.

The only thing that really changed during filming was Emily ghosting the show.

After dropping a not-really-an-apology, her X account got banned.

Everything was chill until Whitney’s phone lit up with a call from her dad, Samuel.

“Whit, why don’t you have Klein drop by the house before the big day?” Samuel said.

Samuel was getting restless.

He’d painfully parted with 35% of the company shares as Whitney’s dowry, and yet he hadn’t even met Klein,

If he couldn’t even get face time with Klein, how was he supposed to ask for help?

Otherwise, wasn’t he just giving his daughter away for nothing?

Whitney rolled her eyes internally and shot back without hesitation, “Dad, I’m seriously swamped right now. There’s so much wedding stuff to deal with, and you’re not really helping. Everything’s on me.

“Unless you want us to totally embarrass ourselves on the big day?” she added.

Samuel was frustrated, but he knew better than to push his eldest daughter.

“Yeah, yeah, go handle your business. After the wedding, when you come back for your first visit, I’ll finally get a chance to catch up with Klein,” he said, sounding a bit resigned.

Whitney scoffed.
