With concern etched on his face, Kyson inquired, “Did she cause you any harm?”


    Lucinda waved off his worries.


    “It’s fine.


    She’s not a match for me.


    How could she harm me?”


    Seeing Lucinda’s characteristic mboyance, Kyson couldn’t help but smile knowingly.


    “Indeed, no one can walk over you.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    ”


    Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him and retorted, “I’ll take that as apliment.


    ”


    He chuckled, affirming, “It absolutely is apliment.


    ” After all, she was the only woman he held dear.


    Kyson sighed and changed the subject.


    “When your father passed away, I recall seeing another obituary for the Simmons family in the newspaper.


    That girl also passed away, didn’t she?”


    Lucinda nodded.


    As if thinking of something, she stated firmly, “Whether she’s dead or alive, the Simmons family won’t protect her.


    I won’t allow her to cause trouble again.


    ”


    Kyson wore a serious expression at her words.


    He realized that this matter might hold deeperplexities he wasn’t privy to.


    As he was about to seek further details, the room’s door swung open.


    Immediately Sonny and Luisa walked in, they caught sight of Lucinda and Kyson ying with the babies.


    It was a touching sight.


    If Nathan were to see this, he’d likely be quite displeased.


    “We’vee to visit the babies.


    Hope we’re not interrupting anything.


    ”


    Sonny covered his mouth with his fist and coughed.


    He gently tapped Luisa who was behind him on the shoulder.


    Understanding his signal, she entered the room, pulled up a chair, and settled herself between Lucinda and Kyson, creating some space between them.


    The four grown-ups entertained the babies, engaging in conversation and sharingughter.


    Thirty minutester, dinner was set and served.


    Lucinda uncorked several bottles of quality wine, and they all enjoyed a few sses.


    They put on a facade of happiness and enthusiasm.


    After the meal, since Kyson didn’t have a car, Lucinda requested Rickey to give him a ride back to the Shaws’ house.


    For the first time, Nathan felt the need to drive Sonny home after he had had too much to drink.


    Lucinda offered no objection and retreated upstairs to take a shower.
