Kyson nodded understandingly.
âNo problem.
Iâll do whatever it takes to accommodate your wishes, even if you ask for the stars.
â
Colby snorted dismissively, âDonât make promises you canât keep.
Iâm not a child who can be fooled with pretty words.
â
Kyson responded with a smile, âAlright, youâre the boss.
â
Whenever Colby showed his stubborn side, Kyson would patiently go along with it.
He never expressed frustration or anger toward Colby.
It was time to go back home.
Lucinda gently took Destinee from Kysonâs arms, her touch tender and reassuring.
Kyson and Dulcie stood together, watching as the family climbed into their car and departed from the aquarium, the sound of the engine fading into the evening.
As soon as the car disappeared from sight, Kyson turned to Dulcie.
âI noticed you were chatting with Lucinda the whole time,â he said, curiosity in his voice.
âWhat were you two talking about?â
âShe was asking about our relationship.
â She was concise and to the point, carefully observing Kysonâs expression as she spoke.
Kysonâs eyebrows were relaxed, and his deep blue eyes were inscrutable, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
âHow did you respond?â Kyson asked, his voice calm and steady.
Seeing that he truly cared about everything concerning Lucinda, Dulcie felt a pang of discomfort.
Avoiding his gaze, she took the initiative to get into the passenger seat, silently waiting for him to drive.

Kyson walked around to the driverâs seat, started the engine with practiced ease, and pulled away from the aquarium.
Yet, his curiosity persisted.
âWhy didnât you answer my question just now?â he asked, his tone gentle but insistent.
Dulcieâs expression turned serious.
âIs this question relevant?â
âOf course it is.
â
His immediate response left Dulcie feeling increasingly upset.
âIf you donât tell me, how will I know how youâll handle the role of a wife when dealing with Shaw family relatives in the future, and whether youâll adhere to the terms of our agreement?â
âI told her about how we first met in Tuborg, and then crossed paths again in Cadiered, and how weâve been going on dates,â Dulcie explained.
âShe seems to know you quite well, spoke highly of you, and expressed hope for our future together.
Is that detailed enough?â
Kyson raised his eyebrows slightly, appearing to be in a cheerful mood.
He might have cheered up due to the praise from Lucinda.
But Dulcieâs tone made him feel somewhat displeased.
âWhy are you speaking to me like this? We were perfectly fine before we came to the aquarium.
Why are you suddenly acting as if someone has upset you, speaking so aggressively?â
âNo, Iâm okay.
Iâm not angry.
Maybe Iâm in a mood swing because my period is coming,â Dulcie explained calmly.
A womanâs irritability before and during her period was often unfairly used as an excuse for any kind of behavior.
Kyson felt a twinge of embarrassment upon hearing that and chose not to ask any further questions, focusing instead on driving in silence.
