Chapter 2052: Chapter 2266

Then I’ll stay with you.

I’m your sweetheart, and I want to protect you…”

As Colby began to frown and was about to respond, he noticed a movement at the door.

A man in a dark suit was standing outside.

Colby’s expression turned even colder.

Wherever Destinee was, that man was sure to follow.

He immediately refused, “I don’t need your protection.

Leave.

”

“No, I’m not going anywhere, Colby.

” Destinee clutched his wrist and acted pitifully.

“I did something slightly naughty today.

If Daddy finds out, he’s definitely going to punish me.

Staying with you is the safest! You’ll protect me, won’t you? You wouldn’t want Daddy to punish me, right? You’re the best, aren’t you?”

She clung to him so persistently that he couldn’t shake her off.

Listening to her, Colby was at a loss for words.

He was powerless to send her away.

After a brief pause, he asserted, “You can stay, but don’t disturb me.

And don’t bring anyone else here who doesn’t matter.

”

“Well…” Destinee blinked and feigned ignorance.

“Colby, who is the person who doesn’t matter?”

Colby’s face remained expressionless.

His young face was not as carefree as that of a typical five-year-old.

Instead, it was more composed and indifferent than expected.

His words carried a deeper implication.

“He knows who is unimportant.

”

The door was slightly open.

Kyson stood outside and clearly heard the exchange between the siblings.

He also noticed Colby’s dismissive attitude toward him.

He tightened his hold on the doorknob and let out a silent sigh.

A wave of regret washed over him, yet he felt powerless to change anything.

Kyson turned to leave quietly.

Just as he turned, he noticed Nathan in a dark green military uniform, looking dignified and imposing, approaching from the far end of the corridor.

The two men locked eyes.

Kyson said first, “Did you just get off work at the National Security Bureau?”

Nathan nodded and responded casually, “Lucinda had to handle some business at the company.

Colby’s alone in the lab.

I thought I’d drop by since I had some free time.

Why don’t you come in?”

Kyson averted his gaze, avoiding eye contact with Nathan.

“I’ve finished my visit.

It’s time for me to head back to the Shaw Group.

”

Instead of insisting Kyson stay, Nathan inquired, “Did Destinee come with you? Is she in the ward?”
