Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219

That night. Whitney thought Klein would cling to her again. keeping her up for hours.

But he didn’t do anything. He just held her quietly.

Even though he did nothing: Whitney felt their hearts were even closer.

She felt a deep sense of satisfaction, knowing Klein was completely hers, no secrets, nothing held back.

Klein was so turned on that he felt like he might explode. On a night when everything was finally laid bare, all he wanted was to take Whitney hard, to make her truly his.

But he couldn’t

They’d already done it last night, and the doctor had told him not to overdo it.

His wife was carrying twins, after all.

So Klein could only grit his teeth and hold himself back.

“Go to sleep.” he said

If Whitney kept gazing at him with those loving eyes. Klein thought he might just lose control.

Whitney fell asleep with a smile on her face

It felt like she was seventeen again, reliving that unforgettable summer.

“Whitney, just because you got top of the class doesn’t mean Dad’s gonna favor you. You’ve got the college entrance exam next year, so Mom said this summer’s trip is only for me, not you! Oh, and Dad’s coming too!” Tina boasted, her voice full of

smugness.

“Whitney, since you’ve got the college entrance exam next year, I think it’s better if you stay home this time,” her dad said.

Seventeen–year–old Whitney clenched her fists, trying to hold back her feelings, her heart aching in silence.

When she was sixteen, she was left out because of her broken leg. At fifteen, it was her entrance exams. Every year, there was always some reason to leave her out.

Whitney told herself she didn’t even want to go anyway.

Moore Manor felt so empty, and the only one keeping her company was her grandma.

There was a lump in her chest she just couldn’t shake or swallow.

It just sat there, suffocating her, and she cried until her eyes were swollen and sore.

Feeling defiant, she booted up her computer and started downloading one online game after another. It wasn’t until she stumbled onto a cultivation game that she finally found something she could really lose herself in.

Only when she was hacking away at monsters in that game did she feel like she could vent all the pent–up frustration in her

heart.

It was right when she was on the verge of falling apart that Klein, using his in–game name. Sinny, appeared before her.

Care to get married in–game and run some dungeons together, my lady?” he asked, sounding like a true hero from a cultivation novel.

Chapter 219

Whitney gazed at the serene, elegant man in flowing white robes on her screen. Almost as if possessed, she nodder auf agreed.

They didn’t get to talk much, but Whitney could tell he was working full–time now from his occasional con.ments

Sometimes, he’d mention needing to go to a meeting, make a call, or take care of some business.

They’d always been more like strangers thrown together for quests, polite but distant. But on Whitney’s birthday, he di something unexpected.

Sinning logged in that night and invited her to watch fireworks with him in–game.

Her avatar in a red dress sat side by side with him, the man in flowing white robes.

Across the computer screen. just before midnight. Whitney watched as digital fireworks burst into life, lighting up her world

Not a single happy birthday for her that night.

That memory stuck with Whitney for years

On Sunday, Whitney pulled Klein into the game, and the two of them spent a good while reminiscing together.

She sighed. ‘I never thought this game would still be alive after all these years, never shut down or gone under.”

None of the younger crowd really played this game anymore

Klein chuckled. ‘It’s never shutting down

Whitney looked up in surprise “Wait, don’t tell me you actually bought the whole game company?”

She immediately pulled up the official website and, as expected, saw that Harris Group owned 100% of the tech company behind the game.

Whitney just stared, lost for words.

Klein said slowly, “Buying a small game company? Is that supposed to be hard?”

When you’re loaded, you get everything, including a wife, Whitney thought

Klein kissed the corner of her eye. “So, what made you want to buy me shoes?”

Whitney bit her lips. You know Valerie, my colleague? She’s seeing this guy who’s not really dependable, and she’s always buying him shoes and suits.

“It’s way more than she can actually afford. And people say if you buy a guy shoes, he’ll just walk away. So I thought… maybe I’d try it out myself.”

Klein snorted. “You really think I’m like those jerks?”

“Didn’t you say she was single last time and asked me to see if I could set her up with someone decent?” he pointed out.

Whitney nodded. Yeah, who knew she’d start dating so soon?”

Klein narrowed his eyes. “Don’t tell me she’s seeing that assistant you used to have?”

Whitney was startled, pulling away from his embrace. What makes you think that?”

Chapter 219

Wasn’t she the one who took him home last time” Klein asked

Whitney just sat there, totally spaced out for ages.

Seriously, how did! not put two and two together she thought

After Lucas got transferred out, she hadn’t given that man a second thought

But Lucas was exactly Valerie’s type, fresh–faced puppy–eyed. No wonder all her blind dates kept flopping

Till sound her out tomorrow, Whitney said.

“Yeah, that boy’s trouble. He tried to make a move on you, but I put a stop to that. Now he’s switched targets. Fresh out o college and asking for all kinds of things, he’s just in it for the cash. Klein said.

“But don’t go too deep. If you push too hard, she might not be able to handle it. No need to get mixed up in her mess he added.

Whitney knew how to play it smart, so she was just planning to keep things casual.

Whitney hadn’t even had a chance to ask before she spotted Valerie in the break room, trying to hide her tears.

She quietly brought Valerie into a private meeting room where no one else would disturb them.

Whitney asked softly. “Valerie what’s going on? Did something happen?”

Once she saw Whitney, Valerie just lost it, collapsed onto the table, bawling her eyes out.

“Whit, I bought him so much stuff, and he still wants to leave me,’ she choked out.

“Break up? Is this about your new boyfriend Whitney asked.

Who is he? Is he someone from our firm? Whitney pressed, curiosity getting the better of her.

Valerie wiped her tears, her voice shaky from sobbing. “Whit, you already knew?”

Whitney’s eyes darkened. “Is it Lucas?”

“Yeah!” Valerie choked out.

Just hearing his name. Valerie completely lost it and started sobbing all over again.
