Kyson staggered back and stared at her aggrievedly.
As if feeling hot, he clawed at his collar and ripped open the first two buttons, exposing his delicate clavicle.
Coupled with his handsome face, he looked extremely charming.
Unfortunately, Lucinda wasnât in the mood to appreciate his beauty.
She smiled and said in a soft voice, âI was just kidding! Iâm sorry, it seems Iâve upset you.
Since this is farewell, Iâll certainly have a drink of two.

While speaking, she opened another bottle of red wine, filled a glass for herself, and elegantly toasted to him.
She drank the whole glass of wine without hesitation and then showed him her empty glass.
Noticing that she didnât care about his seductive moves, Kysonâs heart sank.
Was it because of Nathaniel that she was no longer interested in other men?
He sat back on the sofa dejectedly.
However, as if unwilling to give up, he asked, âLucinda, I really⦠Canât I win you back?â
âNo, â
Lucinda answered indifferently without missing a beat.
He lowered his head dejectedly.
Lucinda couldnât see the expression on his face, but she could tangibly feel his frustration and disappointment.
She knew she couldnât say anything to comfort him, nor could she give him false hope.
The atmosphere in the private room was depressing.
Just then, the door gently swung open.
A slender figure in high heels strode in.
Lucinda looked towards the door.
When she saw the woman, her jaw went slack.
Uncertainly, Lucinda tried to recall and asked, âAre you Sally?â
Happily stepping forward, Sally Shaw held Lucindaâs arm, pleased to see that she still remembered her.
âLucinda, you look beautiful,â Sally exclaimed.
âWe havenât seen each other in so many years.
Have you missed me? Kyson mentioned you were in Forden, and I couldnât wait to catch up and spend time with you.
â
Being the seventh child of the Shaw family and Kysonâs half-sister, Sally was the youngest daughter of the family.
She was three years younger than Lucinda and they had been friends since childhood.
Although sweet and innocent, Sally could also be a spoiled brat sometimes.
Teasing with a smile, Lucinda remarked, âYouâve grown up, but youâre still as clingy as ever.
â
Sally grabbed Lucindaâs arm and shook it.
