Chapter 252 A One–Sided Marriage Proposal

During this past year, a producer had tried to pressure Ka into sleeping with him, but Calvin had stepped in to resolve the

situation.

That night, the two of them ended up in bed together again, almost without realizing how it happened.

Ka was actually quite satisfied with Calvin’s physique and didn’t resist, but they didn’t get back together. asionally, after wrapping up filmingb, /bshe would meet up with him.

She didn’t want to get hurtb, /bso she was very careful about

protection.

When it came to physical rtionships, as long as both parties were willing, it was fine. Ka had a clearer understanding of it than Calvin did.

Kaia and Alyssa exchanged a nce and quickly changed the subject.

“Ka, then you won’t even get to see my baby after it’s born.”

Ka chuckled lightly, “I should still have another month or two before I leave. I have onest promotional event, and then my contract will expire. If you miss me, you can alwayse visit

me.”

As for her, she probably wouldn’t being back.

Alyssa pouted, “Fine. Ka, we’re really going to miss you!”

Life was always full of goodbyes, but parting didn’t mean the end of friendship. The group chat among the three of them remained as active as ever.

Landon, who was about to be a dad, couldn’t stop grinning –and soon, all eyes were on him.

“Think your wife’s having a boy?” Calvin asked, a hint of envy creeping into his voice.

“Impossible! Can’t you guys trust science? I’m a doctor, so what I say goes.”

Wiley, who was also about to get married, scoffed, “You really think your eyes are medical equipment now?”

“Exactly, don’t be so overconfident,” Calvin chimed in.

“Lucien, why aren’t you drinking?”

Lucien shook his head. “I’m trying for a baby, so no alcohol. You’re not married–you wouldn’t understand.”

Calvin felt like that was worse than being insulted.

Wiley asked curiously, “Calvin, didn’t you get back together with your girlfriend? When are you two getting married?”

Calvin smirked proudly, “Yeah, we’re back together. Next monthb, /bprobably. Once the custom ring I ordered arrives, I’ll propose. Actually, I might need Kaia’s help with that.”

Lucien nodded casually. “As long as it’s not too troublesome and doesn’t tire out my wife.”

Calvin realized that even after a year apart, Lucien was still as arrogant and sharp–tongued as ever.

“It won’t be. At most, I’ll just need Kaia to casually arrange for Ka to be somewhere. I want to surprise her.”

Calvin had no idea that Ka was nning to leave.

Lucien nced at his watch. “It’s gettingte. I should head home.”

Landon stood up as well. “Yeah, I need to pick up my wife, too.”

Calvin added, “Same here.”

Within minutes, only Wiley remained in the private room.

After seeing her friends off, Kaia noticed a new friend request notification.

She muttered to herself, “Who’s trying to add me?”

Lucien nced at the profile picture. “It’s Calvin.”

Kaia frowned. “Why?”

“He’s probably nning to propose to your bestie,” Lucien said without hesitation,pletely throwing Calvin under the bus.

Kaia narrowed her eyes in confusion. “Propose? To Ka?”

But Ka was nning to leave. And she never even mentioned getting back together with Calvin. How did it escte to a proposal?

Lucien shrugged. “He doesn’t have a choice–he’s the only one still single. Once the rest of us start having kids, he won’t even be able to join our conversations.”

Kaia raised an eyebrow. “Did he and Ka actually make up?”

Lucien tilted his head. “They didn’t?”

After her return, Kaia’s luck had been good–shended a case involving a stock buyback dispute at a venture capital center.

And after just a week of negotiations with the opposing counsel, she secured a favorable oue for her client without even going to trial.

This was remarkably efficient.

Alex felt that Kaia’s year of studying hadn’t been wasted, and threw a grand celebration for her sess.

Kaia knew exactly why Alex was being so attentive. Both of them were well aware, though neither mentioned it outright.

Jude was also pleased, as it meant more resources would be allocated to Kaia.

However, to outsiders, it inevitably raised some eyebrows.

Someone tried to stir up trouble. “Ms. Dillon, all the malewyers at our firm treat Ms. Domont so well. She’s really charming.”

Gwen gave the person a cool nce, “Just the malewyers? I’m

a woman, and I like her too. Talented people naturally attract attention–isn’t that normal?”

Seeing that the provocation had failed, the person left in a huff.

After the dinner, Jude put an arm around Gwen and asked, “Did someone just try to gossip again?”

“It’s fine. Human nature loves drama.”

Kaia waved goodbye to the two of them and quickly got into a ck car.

Gwen raised an eyebrow. “Your student has quite the background, doesn’t she?”

Jude smiled, “Yep. That’s why so many people are jealous of

her.”

Gwen finally understood why Alex was being so attentive to

Kaia.

In the car.

“You really didn’t have to pick me up,” Kaia pouted.

She had driven herselfb, /bas usual. And every time Lucien insisted on picking her up, it meant leaving her car behind and bumming a ride from him to thew firm the next morning.

“A husband picking up his wife after work–isn’t that how it’s supposed to be?” he said with a shrugb, /bas if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Kaia smiled, then noticed an exquisite shopping bag on the back

scat.

“What’s this?”
