Kyson was pleased to see that she agreed so quickly.
Gracefully cutting his steak, he asked casually, âI heard that the man who was with you today is your ex-husband.
You signed an employment agreement with him and he became your manservant?â
âYes,â Lucinda confirmed without hesitation.
Kyson detected no hint of dishonesty in her response.
âDo you still have feelings for him?â Kyson inquired hesitantly.
Lucinda raised her eyes and responded coldly, âThatâs my private affair.
â
âOkay, I wonât ask, But Iâll stay in Forden and make sure no one bullies you,â Kyson declared.
Lucinda lowered her head and stared at the steak on her plate for a few seconds.

âPeople change.
We havenât seen each other in seven years.
You still remember what I used to like, but what you donât know is that I have already changed.
Do you understand what I mean?â
Kyson was taken aback.
He knew exactly what she meant, but he couldnât accept it.
They had not laid eyes on each other for merely seven years, and now that they had finally reunited, didnât that mean they still have a chance?
As they ate casually, Lucinda remarked, âYou havenât changed a bit.
You were always so domineering, making decisions for me back then.
But Iâm not the little girl who followed you around anymore.
Iâve grown up.
â
âIsnât it great that I look after you and take care of everything?â he asked.
âArenât girls looking forward to being spoiled by a powerful man?â
Lucinda just smiled and did not reply.
Perhaps that was the kind of happiness some girls sought after.
However, Lucinda looked down upon the idea of depending on a man.
She preferred to depend on herself.
Men were never really that important to her anyway.
The meal had been tedious and uneventful.
The instant they stepped outside, a sharp gust of wind hit them, the cold cutting through their clothes.
Kyson removed his coat and prepared to dr@pe it over her shoulders.
