Kyson gazed at her and said, “I remember you enjoy dining in a quiet environment and you like French food. But if there’s anything you don’t like about the dishes, just let me know.”
Lucinda nodded graciously.
“Thank you.”
In a soft voice, Kyson continued, “It’s been seven years since we last saw each other. I was sent to the Secret Investigation Department, and I happened to be in Forden this time. Cyrus told me you were at the police station, so I came over immediately. It’s wonderful to see you again. I…” Kyson wanted to tell her how much he missed her.
Lucinda looked up at him, memories flooding her mind.
Lucinda smiled and said, “Yes, in the past seven years, you’ve risen to become the director of the Secret Investigation Department, and no one can take that away from you. Congratulations, Mr. Shaw.”
Kyson was taken aback.
She sounded so politely distant.
“Lucinda, are you estranged from me?”
With a faint smile, she replied, “Mr. Shaw, we were never really that familiar with each other.”
Kyson’s hand reached out to hers, but she deftly evaded it.
“You don’t even want me to touch you?
I know you’re still holding a grudge against me for what happened that year, but I was young and had no choice.” Lucinda cut him off, saying, “Mr. Shaw.”
Kyson fell silent, unable to find the words to continue the conversation.
Interrupting him, Lucinda’s face darkened at the mention of what had happened in the past.

“Okay, let’s not talk about it,” Kyson said.
Kyson fell silent.
The waiter served the dishes on the table, which eased the previously depressing atmosphere between the two of them.
Apart from the sound of utensils clinking, they sat in silence.

Breaking the silence, Kyson said, “I plan to stay in Forden for a while. I heard from Cyrus that you are searching for evidence. Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
“Okay,” Lucinda responded without hesitation.
Lucinda didn’t refuse Kyson’s offer despite her grudge against him, as he had taken the initiative to help her.
She had no reason to turn down his assistance.
