âDaddy, Iâm glad you won Mommyâs heart.
If it were Kysonâ¦â Colby scoffed.
âIâll disown him!â
The corners of Lucindaâs and Nathanâs mouths twitched, leaving them momentarily speechless.
Nathan gently corrected him, âIf Lucinda had chosen Kyson, you wouldnât be their child.
You wouldnât have been born.
You are our child, understand?â
Colby was their unique baby, sharing both his and Lucindaâs genes.
âWhy? I donât get it,â Colby said.
âYou will someday.
â
The three of them left N&L Fairy Land and headed toward the Payne familyâs garage, bound for the lab where Colby would receive his infusions.
Meanwhile, Kyson was en route, taking Destinee to kindergarten.
Destinee looked out the window, eyes alight with curiosity.
Despite the familiar daily view, her interest remained undiminished.
Before long, she noticed a young couple quarreling on the street.
The woman spun around, ready to walk away.
The man quickly followed, enveloping her in a tender embrace from behind.
Blinking, Destineeâs thoughts drifted to Kyson and Dulcie.
âKyson, how was your date with Miss Burton yesterday? Did you enjoy yourself?â
She giggled, her eyes brimming with curiosity and enigma.
âIt went well, and she was pleased.
â Kyson then asked thoughtfully, âWhat if I really marry her? Would you be alright with that?â
Destinee clapped her hands.
âAbsolutely! Miss Burton saved my life and has always been kind to me.
Iâm just relieved youâre not considering Phillis.
Sheâs unpleasant and unkind.
Kyson, please donât like her.
â
Kyson smiled warmly and gently patted her head while driving.
âI cherish everything you cherish and dislike everything you dislike.
â
âYouâre the best!â
Kyson pursed his lips, smiling.
He was invariably a warm gentleman in Destineeâs presence.
Destinee brought up Phillis.
Phillis dared to introduce Dulcie to Fire Bar for some quick, unscrupulous money.
Dulcie would be his wife soon.
He was resolved to deal with the Perez Group when he had the chance.
