The car followed the path between the walls and eventually pulled up at the east door.
In the distance, she spotted Kyson, dressed to impress.
He wore an expensive blue suit.
With his captivating ice blue eyes, he resembled a noble prince, catching the attention of every woman around.
However, no matter how handsome he appeared, Lucinda didnât care.
Jamie stepped out of the car first and opened the door for her.

Kyson quickly approached them.
When he caught sight of her casual clothes, his smile slowly faded.
âToday is your first time meeting my mother, and this is what you chose to wear?â
Lucinda was stunned.
She was not there to see her future mother-in-law.
Why on earth did she have to dress up?
Nevertheless, since she still need Kysonâs assistance getting the serum, she mustered an explanation.
âI didnât bring many clothes with me.
This is the best dress I could find.
â
His disappointment seemed to fade away as he listened to her explanation, replaced by a tinge of remorse in his eyes.
âIâm sorry.
Itâs entirely my fault.
I should have gotten ready the appropriate dress for you in advance.
Please donât be angry at me.
I promise not to make such a mistake again.
â
Lucinda averted her gaze.
âItâs alright.
Thereâs no need to apologize.
â
âLetâs head inside, and Iâll give you a tour.
Iâll arrange for a new dress to be brought to you before noon.
Then we can have lunch at my motherâs place.
â
Kyson smiled.
His eyes brimmed with affection and longing as he reached out to hold her hand without hesitation.
Before he could touch her, though, Lucinda instinctively frowned and stepped back.
This seemed to provoke him.
In an instant, he took a step forward and grasped her chin firmly.
âWeâre getting married soon.
Why are you still so resistant? Why canât I hold your hand and ki*s you in public when Nathan can?â
âWeâre not married yet.
Weâre not obligated to each other at this moment.
Why should I let you hold my hand and ki*s me in public Lucinda scowled at him coldly.
