Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 175

The next day. Watney asked Klein if she should go with, him to Harris Manor’so have a proper talk about it

Going abroad was a big deal. What if James didn’t appro

But Klein told her he’d talk to them himself and just bring it up at dinner in front of everyone

“This is just between you and me. We don’t need anyone else’s approval Klein said.

Honestly, Whitney felt like Klein was invincible. He always had everything under control, and she never had to stress about anything when he was around.

Whitney felt a pang in her heart. “Klein, what if I miss you? Are you really not going to come see me?

Klein’s expression stayed serious. “No. You’ve chosen this path. No matter how tough it gets, you’ll have to walk it on your

own.”

Whitney headed to the law firm, while Klein went back to Harris Manor.

When James heard what Klein had to say, his eyes widened.

‘Studying abroad? Is the Harns Group going bankrupt or something? Can’t you even help your own wire anymore?” James snapped.

Klein pursed his lips and said. ‘Dad, she wants to improve herself on her own. She doesn’t want to take shortcuts just because of me.”

James frowned, and then let out a sigh Whitney’s got her own ideas. I get where she’s coming from.”

But then James said. “But Klein, won’t your feelings cool off after a year apart? By the time she gets back, you’ll be pushing thirty–six, and still no kids to show for it.

“Dad,” Klein cut him off, raising his eyebrows, ‘Relax I can have kids. I’m not going to tie her down. What if she ends up blaming me for it? If she wants to go for it, let her I’ve got her back, no matter what.”

“And stop talking about kids in front of her. That’s just giving her pressure. If you’re that desperate for a baby, maybe you should find yourself a new partner. You’re still fit enough for it.”

With a loud bang. James hurled an ashtray, and it landed right at Klein’s feet

James was furious. “Don’t you talk to your old man like that!”

‘Man, he’s so whipped by his wife. He doesn’t even show his old man some respect!‘ James grumbled to himself.

“Alright, why do you think I’m always nagging you? I’m just worried you won’t be able to have kids! Besides, you’re gelung up there in age. When Whitney comes back after a year, she’ll still be young and fresh. There are so many temptation abroad. Who knows, maybe she’ll meet someone younger and better than you and just dump you.”

Klein’s temples started to throb.

Is this really my dad? He never has anything nice to say about me, Klein thought.

“No way. She’d never leave me,” Klein said.

Come on, I’m a catch. She’d never walk away from me. Klein thought, feeling a bit smug.

Alright, Whit, just go and fly‘ I’ll keep an eye on things here for you. Think of me as your undercover agent Trust me, oant a ingle girl will get close to Uncle Klein on my watch. I’ll be keeping tabs on him like a hawk” Lena grinned

Whitney chuckled ‘Senously, that’s not necessary. Men don’t need babysitting”

The more a girl tried to keep tabs on a man, the further he would run.

Whitney was sure of herself, and her trust in Klein was absolute.

Even if that trust fell apart again, even if she came back and found there was no room for her in his life

she’d leave with dignity. She’d never force herself to stay

At dinner, Whitney announced the news to everyone.

Carter narrowed his eyes, watching the two of them closely, trying to catch even the slightest sign of tension between them.

Klein just let his wrist rest lazily on the back of Whitney’s chair, shooting Carter a look that basically said. Don’t ever

about it.

The two men were locked in a silent standoff, neither willing to back down.

Sabrina was honestly surprised by the news. When you’re the favorite, you really can do whatever you want, she thought

She really has the nerve to leave for a whole year. Sabrina scoffed secretly.

The right before Whattary left Karin gripped her want and refused to let go, keeping her close for hours.

It was like they were loving the motors in one lost wild night together

Sin and again, he left his mark on her. There wasn’t a single mich of Whitney he hadn’t claimed.

It was if he was trying to brand her as has making sure she’d never forget who she belonged to.

to Whitney was about to fall asleep Klein kept pestering her “If you meet a guy who’s taller, better looking, and richer than we world you dit me for him?

Whitney was in exhausted that she could barely open her eyes. “Never”

Bear Klein wouldn’t let it go. You mean in

‘Yes‘ Whitney replied getting a little annoyed She gave him a playful bite.

“There’s no man out there taller, better looking, or richer than you. Klein, you’re the only one I want,” she murmured.

Her words made Klein’s eyes grow misty with emotion

By the time dawn crept in Klein finally let her go, leaving both of them spent and tangled in each other’s arms.

Whitney woke up to her alarm at ten. After lunch, she was ready to head out.

As she was shens to leave, she lingered outside Klein’s study, not wanting to go.

Kirin are you really not going to see me off?” she asked, her voice soft and a little sad.

She huffed hurt and frustrated, “Eine, don’t bother?”

With a huff, she stomped down the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the hous

Once her suitcase was loaded into the car, Whitney felt a wave of regret.

I should’ve given him a hug before I left, she thought, regret washing over her

After all, for a whole year, she wouldn’t get to feel that strong, warm embrace again.

She was scrunching up her face, all conflicted, when suddenly someone knocked on her car window.

Whitney looked up, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw Klein. She hopped out of the car and launched herself straight into his arms.

Klein hugged her tight, holding her like he never wanted to let go, like he wished he could fuse her right into his bones.

He kissed the top of her head and said. Take care of yourself, you hear me?”

He sounded possessive, but she could hear the reluctance in his voice.

Whitney buried her face in the crook of his neck and nodded with all her might.

“I will. You too. Promise me you won’t even glance at other girls, okay?” she said, half teasing, half serious.

Klein gave a soft chuckle. ‘Not a chance

Everyone knew that in Klein’s world, there was only room for her.

Whitney thought Klein was coming down to see her off at the airport, but he just fussed over her clothes and scooped her up, settling her into the car himself.

Whitney felt a bittersweet ache in her chest. He’s so cold, seriously, she thought.

As Whitney stepped onto the plane, she couldn’t help glancing back at the place she’d called home for so long.
