Alpha's Lost Luna Returns With His Twins-Chapter 297-Humiliating Her

Lara:

"Of course I will go," I said, smiling at Lady Vivian.

I was already dressed and waiting. I had barely finished speaking when Lady Vivian sent a text to Kash to let him know I will be joining him.

Of course, Iris did not know any of this yet. She probably believed she had Kash under her control, which was why she had stopped trying.

She did whatever pleased her, and those actions were hurting him. But before she could realize her mistakes, I knew it would already be too late.

"Go and spend time with your husband. You are his rightful wife," Lady Vivian commented as I stepped out and sat in the car.

Soon, I was on my way.

Throughout the drive, I kept wondering how Iris could be so foolish. Zoe had not done enough for her to risk her entire relationship over it.

As soon as I reached the café, I sent the name to Markus. He knew what to do next.

Kash had stationed a warrior at the entrance so he would be informed the moment I arrived. The warrior escorted me inside.

That was when I noticed how many people were present at the meeting. Everyone had come with their wives. I could not imagine how hurt Kash must have felt when his own wife refused to show up.

But the moment he saw me, for the first time in so long, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Kash rose from his seat in front of everyone and walked toward me.

Dressed in an all-black suit, he looked devilishly handsome. For meetings like these, he always wore black.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my wife, my Luna Queen, Lara," Kash introduced me.

Everyone bowed their heads. Some even stepped forward to hand me bouquets.

The café was mostly filled with our people. Only a few families in the corner were uninvolved.

My chest swelled with happiness. I could not stop smiling. Throughout the gathering, I kept nodding politely.

I tried to be informative, but it was difficult. I knew nothing about scents beyond enjoying wearing them. Still, I understood that what Kash needed at that moment was support.

He looked genuinely happy. Every now and then, he checked on me. That small gesture meant everything.

I was incredibly glad I had backed out of my earlier hesitation. It gave me the chance to stand beside him and cherish the moment.

"Oh, by the way, everyone, there’s more good news," Kash announced when the meeting paused for food and the feast began.

"My beautiful Lara is pregnant."

A collective gasp spread through the room. People clapped and stood to hug me.

It felt unreal. Kash had truly made me happy today.

I laughed when the women gathered around me and said our baby would be beautiful. They teased that after this, Kash would love me even more.

I wanted that to be true. And it would be.

As the guests drifted back to their conversations, Kash turned toward me.

"Thank you for coming," he whispered, offering a soft but faintly sad smile.

He looked hurt, and I knew why.

"You can call me anytime, and I’ll be there, Kash. You know that," I said, reaching for his hand.

I almost stopped, afraid he would pull away.

But he held my hand instead and gave it a gentle pat, as if assuring me that my touch was welcome.

"I know I was not your first choice today," I uttered, carefully bringing up Iris because soon there would be a surprise for both of them.

I did not want to hurt Kash, but I had no other choice. Or maybe I did, and I simply refused to take it.

"It’s not something I haven’t told you," he replied quickly, reminding me that he had never tried to hide the fact that he called me only after Iris refused. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I’m not saying you did anything wrong. I’m just saying that even if I am your second choice, I will always wait," I mumbled.

He turned to me, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How do you not hate me? For trying to reject you. For marrying you only because I wanted something. For playing with you because I needed a cure for Iris," he admitted, not hiding his intention of wanting the pearl for her.

Iris had been right back then. She was probably the one who asked him to let me stay. And I knew why she did it.

She must have thought keeping me close would push me out of his life forever. But I was going to do that to her instead.

"I can never hate you, Kash. There is no explanation. No reason. That is simply the truth. I can never hate you," I said in a soft, gentle voice.

"Um, excuse me," one of the guests interrupted.

Both Kash and I turned toward her.

"I don’t mean to be nosy, but wasn’t your other Luna Queen supposed to attend? The brand belongs to both of you, and you were working on it together," the woman asked.

My mood began to sour.

Kash and I exchanged a brief look. What were we supposed to say? That Iris did not want to come because he had not scheduled time with her properly?

Her reasoning had sounded childish. She claimed it was last minute and that she was not prepared. I had not been prepared either. Kash had not forced me to give input on anything I did not wish to.

"Well, she had something important to do," Kash answered.

The moment he said that, the café door opened.

Iris walked in with Markus, branded jewelry bags in their hands. They were giggling as they stepped inside.

Every eye in the room shifted toward them. I leaned back in my seat.

The real show had just begun.

"Iris," Kash muttered under his breath.

Iris was busy speaking with Markus when she finally looked up. Her eyes moved to Kash, then to me.

Shock spread across her face, as if she had been caught by him while standing too close to his sister’s husband.
