Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 138

“Why’d you switch cars today Whitney asked as she buckled her seatbelt.

Klein said with a smile, “Your car’s in for maintenance, and so is mine. Couples should do everything together even ca

maintenance.

Whitney didn’t know what to say.

Ever since they got married, Klein had become more and more thick-skinned.

He was nothing like the cold, aloof man she’d imagined. In fact, he was all fire and passion every single night.

Klein was cunning, quiet, and a total flirt around her.

Samuel was thrilled when he heard Whitney and Klein were coming over. He immediately started directing April, mak ure everything was set just right.

Dinner needs to be absolutely perfect tonight. If it’s not, don’t even bother showing up tomorrow!” Samuel ordered.

By the time the clock hit 6:30, Samuel was finally rewarded with the sight of Klein walking through the door.

Whit, Klein, you’re back!” Samuel called out, his voice full of excitement.

Whitney saw his flattering smile and couldn’t help but roll her eyes secretly.

He’s got that scheming look again,’ Whitney thought to herself.

If only he knew the man he’s been so eager to see is just here to put on a show, she snickered.

Klein said with a polite nod, “Dad, this is just a little something for you.”

He wasn’t about to show up empty-handed. If he was going to play the part, he was going to do it right.

Samuel didn’t care what Klein brought. Even if Klein showed up with nothing, he would still be over the moon.

Come on in, have a seat! Make yourself comfortable. Oh, you really shouldn’t have brought anything. Thank you.” Sasuel aid, all smiles.

It was all just polite talk, and Klein didn’t take it seriously.

As soon as they sat down at the dining table, Samuel eagerly started pouring a drink

“Klein, the wedding was such a whirlwind, and I barely got a chance to talk to you,” Samuel sand, raising his glass. From now on, I’m trusting my daughter to you. She can be a little spoiled sometimes. Please bear with her

With that, Samuel downed his drisk in one gulp

Klein didn’t drink. “Dad, have to disagree with you Whit is perfect in every way. Honestly, she’s not spoiled at all. I think

she’s so cute.”

Whitney didn’t know what to say

Even Samuel was stunned.

Chapter 138 –

Cute! Samuel thought, totally baffled.

Is he talking about the same girl who showed up in the middle of the night with a bucket of water and dumped it all ove

me and Laura?

‘Or the one who wouldn’t even let me set foot on stage at her wedding?

‘She’s not cute at all.

Samuel smiled awkwardly and said, “Sure, sure. I’d glad you think so, Klein.”

He poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp.

‘Klein, when Whitney’s mother was alive, I really let her down,” Samuel said, his voice thick with emotion. “I was so caug! up with work. I barely had time to be with her or take care of her. If she were alive, she’d be the happiest person in the w to see Whitney get married.”

As he spoke, Samuel teared up a little with emotion.

Whitney thought, ‘Finally, after all that small talk, he’s about to get to the real reason we’re here tonight’

‘So this time, with Whit getting married, I just wanted to make sure my daughter could hold her head high,” Samuel said, voice thick with emotion. “But Whit, I’m sorry. The company isn’t what it used to be, and the shares I gave you aren’t wor is much new. I’m not even sure if we can weather this storm…”

Samuel wiped his tears and said, “Klein, sorry you had to see me like this.”

Klein watched Samuel’s little show in silence, and played along. “Is your company really in such a tight spot right now. Da

Samuel let out a heavy sigh. “It’s a long story.”

Whitney decided to stir the pot a little. “Honey, why don’t you help my dad out?” she said.

Klein’s eyes suddenly went cold. “Whit, you really don’t get how business works.”

“But Dad, I actually have a project that could give your company a fresh start. If you’re interested, just get in touch with my assistant tomorrow,” Klein said.

Samuel was over the moon and said, “Klein, you really mean it?”

“Absolutely,” Klein replied with a faint smile.

Whitney was really pleased with how Klein played along tonight

Honestly, he totally exceeded her expectations,

While Samuel was in the bathroom, Whitney tugged gently on Klems arm and said, ‘Don’t help hum, okay”

Klein gently stroked the back of her hand and said. “I know what I in doing

By the end of the night, Samuel was completely drunk April had to hold him up so he wouldn’t collapse in a drunken

stupor.

“Klein, you’re great Really, you’re the best! Samuel slurred

“My daughter has married into the Harris family!” he said proudly

Chic-

lac’s creed cold. She was just morted by hum

Less prote ad

Klean pulled her atno has ar and sand. He’s his own person, and you re you. Do let his actions affect you.”

Don’t overtunk he added safly

Waney nodded gently

We se noching alike. He’s never been worthy of being my father. Whitney thought

Mom Dad you really get divorced from Dad? Tina burst out, her voice shaking with disbelief.

She will couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that her parents were actually divorced. It was just too much to process.

Mon. why did you two have to get divorced? Tina pressed, her voice trembling.

Laura had never wanted the divorce, but that jerk Samuel used her brother’s embezzlement to threaten her.

She couldn’t refuse, even if she wanted to.

She had never expected the man she slept next to could be so cold-hearted.

Samuel had promised her, and even signed an agreement with her, that as soon as he got Klein’s investment, he’d take her back and remarry her.

Laura could let Samuel off the hook for now/ But when it came to Whitney, she wasn’t so forgiving.

Since Whitney’s been so heartless, she can’t blame me for getting back at her, Laura thought coldly.

Klein eyed Whitney, genuinely curious. “You and your dad are pretty much at war. You really don’t want me to bail out your family’s comparry” he said.

Whitney didn’t hesitate for a second. “Absolutely not! Don’t even think about it!” she said bluntly

“If you do, don’t expect me to thank you, she snapped.

There was just too much history between her and her father to sum up in a couple of sentences.

She had no intention of getting into it with Klein

Klein looked at her eyes pressing his lips saying nothing

Smice she didn’t want to share, he wasn’t about to push her

Sull, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed

So that night, Klein didn’t let her rest until one in the morning, only letting her off the hook when she was utterly spent.

The next morning Whinney, with dark circles under her eyes pulled out a piece of paper and started laying down the law with Kicin all over again

Chapter 138-

Three wines a week max Sign here,” she said shoving the pages ar buk

Klein just looked at her in silence

“Not signing. Three times a week? That’s nowhere near enough he peronoset

Whitney pointed to the dark circles undesher eyes. “See these” I how w works cat way sang by a sugar sur you.” she complained.

Klein refused to budge and said. “Then we’ll just get started earlier I promise you’resory tengs

Whitney just stared at him, speechless.

She glared at him and snapped. “Seriously? Three times isn’t enough for your

“Come on. Whit, you can’t expect me to get married and still have to rely on gay right hon on your feet to low and playful.

Hearing his words, she couldn’t help blushing

She really didn’t want to, but she instantly got what he meant.

“Five days a week, minimum. You get two days off. That’s my final offer Klein declared not going her a chance to peruse

He bolted before Whitney could say a word. This time, he was the one escaping first

But he kindly left his driver behind for her.

Marco was waiting in the car. Whitney took one look at the over-the-top ride and shook her head “Hey Marro different car?” she said.
