Dulcie feigned indifference but listened closely to the conversation.
As soon as the call connected, Kyson asked softly, âWhatâs up, Lucinda?â
However, the voice that answered wasnât Lucindaâs.
It was Colby who had taken Lucindaâs phone to call Kyson.
âKyson, Iâm on my way to the aquarium with Daddy, Mommy, and Destinee.
â
Kyson paused for a moment, feeling a surge of happiness.
âYouâre finally willing to accept the aquarium?â
Colby responded with a hint of arrogance, âItâs a gift from you.
You gave it to me without giving me a choice.
Why wouldnât I accept it now?â
âT see,â
From Colbyâs tone, Kyson sensed that the boy still hadnât fully forgiven him.
It seemed he had been overly optimistic.
However, he wasnât deterred and continued in a softer voice, âThis is the first time youâve called me, Colby.
Is that what you wanted to talk about? The aquarium is yours.
I just pay someone to manage it.
You can visit anytime without asking me.
â
Colby scoffed, âYouâre overthinking it.
Iâm just letting you know that I plan to renovate the aquarium and add some rare and interesting animals.
â
âAlright.
Whatever you want.
â
âKeep that in mind.
You might not be able to afford it.
If youâre free, come down to the aquarium.
We should discuss it in person.
â
Despite his youthful voice, Colbyâs tone was composed and cunning, reminiscent of an adult to Kyson.
AngelasLibrary
âOkay.
â
Since Colby had invited him, Kyson naturally wouldnât decline.
He didnât hesitate.
Colby then ended the call abruptly without a goodbye, showing no sentiment.
Kyson immediately turned the car at the next intersection, heading toward the aquarium.
Noticing the change in direction, Dulcie quickly asked, âWhere are you going?â
âMr.
Payne and his family are visiting the aquarium.
Iâm heading there too.
â
âDo you want me to get out of the car now?â
Kyson considered for a moment and then suggested, âLetâs go together.
Destinee will be there too.
Youâve worked there for years and know it better than I do.
You can provide a more detailed introduction to the marine life than I can.
â
Destinee would be there too.
