Lucinda pondered calmly.
“So, your mother couldn’t marry your father and came to Cadiered due to her royal status, which kept her bound to the country?”
His expression darkened as she touched upon a painful memory.
“No, it was because my mother was engaged to another man at the time.”
An epiphany dawned upon Lucinda.
“If that’s the case, your mother must have married and had children with another man during these years. While she can fulfill her promise to you, her husband might not be easily persuaded if he is aware, right?”
Kyson’s face grew even darker.

“It’s getting late, and I believe you have other matters to attend to. I’d rather not have dinner with you.”
“I do indeed have other matters,” he acknowledged with a smile.
Kyson picked up his coat from the sofa and said, “Wishing you a good night’s sleep. See you tomorrow. Oh, by the way! My name is Lance Chapman here. Don’t forget that.”
Lucinda didn’t respond, nor did she have any intention to rise and bid him farewell.
He turned around and walked towards the door, not expecting her to see him off.
He suddenly paused as if he was struck by a thought. He then cast a suspicious gaze back at Lucinda.
“I heard from Jamie that you brought a bodyguard with you. We’ve been talking for quite some time, but why hasn’t he made an appearance?”
