“You don’t want toply?” Nathan snorted.


    “Then meet me in my office tomorrow morning for a rigorous training session.


    How does that sound?”


    Sonny was left speechless.


    His posture stiffened and he began to sweat.


    He replied meekly, “I wouldn’t want to trouble you.


    I’ll wear the skirt and clean the restrooms!”


    Destinee, gleefully pping her hands, eximed, “Great! Uncle Sonny and Kyson will be cleaning the restrooms in skirts.


    They must look fantastic.


    I want to see you in maiden dresses!”


    Maiden dresses?


    The adults exchanged puzzled nces.


    What was this little girl thinking?


    Lucinda thought to herself that Destinee was just a child; she should let it go.


    Nathan was rendered speechless.


    He never expected she’de up with that.


    Kyson was resigned to his fate.


    If it made his goddaughter happy, he was willing to wear a maiden dress.


    Sonny, however, felt quite embarrassed at the idea.


    Unaware of the adults’ thoughts, Destinee focused on her melon, her spirits high at the thought of the two men in dresses.


    “Kyson, let me and Uncle Sonny help you,” she said with concern.

    Kyson shook his head and replied, “I can manage.


    You enjoy your melon.


    ”


    “But you’re injured.


    I should help.


    ” Destinee frowned, melon halfway to her mouth.


    Her cheeks puffed out as she chewed, melon juice trickling down the corners of her mouth.


    Seeing her like this, Colby shook his head and said, “Come on, Foodie.


    Let Uncle Sonny take Kyson for a check-up.


    It’s time for us to head home.


    ”


    This time, Nathan bypassed his daughter without picking her up.


    Instead, he walked past Destinee, scooped up Colby, and left the basketball court without a backward nce or a word to Lucinda.


    It was the first time he had done that.


    Lucinda sensed something was off with Nathan but didn’t dwell on it.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She picked up Destinee and followed Nathan out.


    The couple, each holding a child, walked back to the car—Nathan several steps ahead of Lucinda.


    The atmosphere felt odd.


    In the car, the only sound was Destinee’sughter.


    Lucinda gazed out the window, lost in thought about the significant contract she had signed earlier that day.
