Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468

When Kaia reached over to unbuckle her, the little girl reached out her arms, wrapped them tightly around her mother’s neck, and whispered against her shoulder, “Mommy, were you crying? Are you sad about leaving Daddy too?”

Kaia said softly, “No, sweetie. Mommy was just worried that you’d be sad once you found out.”

“I am a little sad, but Anna made me feel better. So now, I’m not that sad anymore,” Brynlee whispered back.

“Yeah, Anna is such a good friend to you.” In that moment, Kaia was incredibly grateful for the little girl. Thanks to Anna’s comfort, her daughter was able to accept the truth so easily. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to explain it to her.

“Mm-hmm, we promised each other. We’re going to grow up together and be best friends forever.” Brynlee’s mood suddenly brightened. “Mommy, if Daddy marries another lady, you should marry Mr. Quinn! Anna and I already decided. If you marry Mr. Quinn, then Anna and I can play together all the time and grow up together.”

Kaia visibly startled, completely caught off guard that her five-year-old was already trying to play matchmaker. She didn’t know whether to laugh

or cry.

The heavy sorrow in the air lifted slightly. It warmed Kaia’s heart to know that her precious daughter was growing up and actually thinking about her mother’s happiness.

“Brynlee, Daddy and I haven’t officially signed the divorce papers yet, so I can’t be with Mr. Quinn right now. Can you promise Mommy not to talk about this with Anna?” Kaia was worried that the kids might let something slip and ruin Simon Quinn’s reputation.

Besides, after everything this marriage had put her through, she had zero

interest in jumping into another one. She just wanted to focus on building her career and maybe reconsider relationships in a few years when she felt more stable.

“Mm-hmm, okay Mommy, I’ll listen to you.” Brynlee tilted her head, thought about it for a second, and agreed.

Kaia took her daughter back to the apartment, where Layla helped get her settled. Afterward, Kaia sat at the dining table, eating the late-night snack Layla had prepared for her.

After wrapping up some work, she got into bed with Brynlee and read her a story. The little girl snuggled into her arms, her tiny hands clutching Kaia’s shirt, and mumbled sleepily, “Mommy, I love you so much.”

Kaia heard it, a soft smile curving her lips. She leaned down to press a kiss to Brynlee’s forehead and whispered, “Mommy loves you too. I love you the most.”

Brynlee forced her eyes open just enough to give her a sleepy smile, then wrapped her arms tightly around Kaia’s arm and drifted into a deep sleep. On Tuesday morning, the lights were blazing in the conference room at the conglomerate’s headquarters. The executives lining the long table looked tense. The monthly progress report was always the most stressful part of their jobs.

Lately, Kaia had frequently been stepping in as Veridian Future’s representative. Silas Sanders was constantly out on the field, nowhere to be seen, so whenever a crucial meeting popped up, he’d just make a call and dump it on Kaia.

The person he trusted most was Kaia, and the person he relied on most was also Kaia-though Silas himself hadn’t quite realized it yet.

Kaia sat in the seat designated for Veridian Future, her laptop open in front of her.

Just then, Finnian walked in. He was dressed in a sharp black business suit over a crisp white shirt-a classic look that exuded power and elegance, though his face was entirely expressionless.

He took his seat at the head of the table, listening as the representatives from the various subsidiaries delivered their reports. He chimed in Occasionally, his voice low, but every single question struck right at the core of the issue.

Kaia focused on her own notes, and when it was her turn to present, she delivered her report with absolute professionalism, her face completely neutral.

Finnian asked her a few questions, which Kaia answered matter-of-factly. He gave a single nod, though his dark eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds longer than necessary before looking away.

After the grueling two-and-a-half-hour meeting finally wrapped up, the attendees began filing out. Kaia saved her files and packed up her things to leave. Finnian didn’t move; he stayed seated at the head of the table, flipping through the rest of the report in front of him.

But just as Kaia walked past him, he suddenly stood up, his long legs shifting to block her path.

Kaia looked up at him in surprise.
