Accidentally Yours, My Super Rich Second Husband-Chapter 185: Nuisance

The sun hung low in the afternoon sky over the grand building of The Royals. Delphinia stepped out of the car, the soft click of her heels meeting the polished marble pavement. She adjusted the strap of her handbag, taking a deep breath as she gazed at the towering structure before her. The Royals had always been the perfect embodiment of luxury and grandeur—a fitting place to celebrate Evander’s birthday.

The light breeze carried the faint scent of fresh flowers, blending with the subtle fragrance of coffee from the nearby café. Delphinia smoothed down the front of her cream blouse, her fingers brushing against the delicate fabric. Even though she had been here several times over the past week, the place still managed to intimidate her with its opulence.

As she walked into the grand hall, the soft murmur of workers filled the space. Men in crisp uniforms arranged chairs, while florists carefully tended to the massive arrangements of white lilies and roses.

Delphinia’s presence drew a few polite nods from the workers. Their eyes lingered on her with curiosity, but none dared to ask. They must have assumed she was one of the few influential people involved in the event planning. After all, she often came with Elaine Walton.

She offered them a small smile in return, though her mind was elsewhere. The whole week had been a whirlwind of preparations. From decorations to catering to the guest list—there were endless things to arrange. Delphinia still couldn’t believe Elaine had entrusted her with something so important.

Her eyes scanned the room, taking note of the soft ivory drapes hung along the tall windows. The chandeliers glittered above. Everything was coming together beautifully. Yet, there was still so much to be done.

"Mrs. Walton," one of the staff members approached her, holding a clipboard against his chest. "The floral arrangements will be arriving this evening. Would you like to check the color palette now?"

Delphinia offered a small smile. "Yes, please. I’d like to see how they match the table settings."

The man nodded and led her toward the sample arrangements. She listened carefully, nodding at his explanations, though half of the terms went straight over her head. Linen textures, centerpiece heights, lighting angles—there were so many small details she hadn’t even considered. Her mind spun, but she kept her expression composed.

When the man finished, he looked at her expectantly, waiting for her approval. Delphinia bit the inside of her cheek. "I think... they’re lovely," she said, though doubt lingered in her voice.

If only Elaine were here. Her mother-in-law would know exactly what to say.

As the staff member left to finalize the order, Delphinia turned toward the entrance to inspect the décor near the archway. She trailed her fingers along the edge of a velvet curtain, silently hoping everything would be perfect by the time Evander’s birthday arrived.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice—low, sharp, and unmistakably angry.

"I don’t care if it’s booked. You don’t understand who you’re dealing with."

Delphinia’s heart froze.

Her hand instinctively gripped the curtain tighter. Slowly, she turned her head, peeking through the gap between the heavy fabric folds. Near the entrance stood Kai, his tall figure tense with frustration as he spoke to Mr. Morris, the venue manager.

Her chest tightened.

What the hell was he doing here?

Delphinia pressed her back against the wall, careful to stay out of sight. She wasn’t afraid of Kai—never—but she simply didn’t have the energy to face him. Not today.

From behind the curtain, she could see the way his brows furrowed in annoyance. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, and he was dressed in a sharp black suit, looking every bit the powerful man he always tried to be.

"You’ve told me that three times now," Kai snapped, his voice laced with irritation. "Do you have any idea how important this wedding is?"

"I understand, Mr. Robinson," Mr. Morris replied, his tone calm yet strained. "But the venue is fully booked. There’s simply nothing we can do."

Kai’s jaw clenched, and Delphinia could see the muscle tick along the side of his face. He was always like that—demanding, entitled, and never willing to take no for an answer.

"Unbelievable," Kai muttered under his breath before storming out of the building, leaving Mr. Morris letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

Delphinia waited until the door closed behind him before stepping out from her hiding spot.

"Mrs. Walton," Mr. Morris greeted her, his smile polite but weary. "I apologize if you saw that."

"What was that about?" Delphinia asked, though she already had a good guess.

"That was Mr. Robinson. He’s been trying to book the venue for his wedding... but we’ve told him several times we’re fully booked. He simply won’t accept it."

Delphinia’s lips pressed into a thin line. Of course. Kai had always been persistent, especially when things didn’t go his way.

Mr. Morris ran a hand through his thinning hair. "He’s been here three times this week already."

"He’s nothing but a headache," Delphinia muttered under her breath.

Mr. Morris chuckled softly, as if he wasn’t supposed to agree but couldn’t help himself.

Delphinia offered him a small, knowing smile before turning away. The encounter left an uncomfortable weight in her chest. No matter how far she tried to move forward, Kai always found a way to brush against the edges of her life.

As she walked across the hall, a wave of dizziness suddenly washed over her.

Her vision blurred, and the ground beneath her feet tilted. She stumbled, clutching at the nearest wall to steady herself.

"Mrs. Walton?"

Mr. Morris was at her side in an instant, his hand hovering uncertainly near her elbow.

Delphinia blinked rapidly, trying to clear her head. Her heart thudded against her ribs.

"I’m fine," she said quickly, forcing a smile. "Just... a little lightheaded."

"Are you sure? You look pale." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"I’m fine," she insisted, waving him off.

She took a few steps forward, determined to shake off the sudden weakness. But the dizziness only worsened. The room spun around her, the glittering chandeliers blurring into hazy streaks of light.

Before she could steady herself, her knees buckled.

The last thing she saw was Mr. Morris’s alarmed face rushing toward her before everything faded into darkness.
