Kysons eyes sparkled with excitement. Did you get something for me as well?
Lucinda nodded with a warm smile.
Sonny, noticing a luxurious watch in the suitcase, passed it to Kyson, saying, Looks like this is meant for you.
Kyson ran his fingers over the elegant watch, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
He said happily, Lucinda got me a gift in person? This marks the first time she has given me a gift since we reunited, and I genuinely appreciate it. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Lucinda.
Nathan frowned at Kyson and quickly cleared up this Lovely misunderstanding. Dont overanalyze it. This is my gift to you, a token of appreciation for your dependability. So, you should be thanking me.

Nathan couldnt hide his amusement at Kysons grumpy look, a smug smirk on his face.

Kyson flashed a forced smile. Mr. Payne, Im genuinely thankful. You know me so well. Ive always wanted this watch and was surprised you chose it first. Thankfully, it ended up with me, just as I hoped.
Nathan raised an eyebrow. Go on, try the watch. Lets see if it suits its new owner.

Sonny, who remained behind, puzzledly scratched his head.
The mood had been quite friendly moments ago. Why the sudden shift?
Torn between helping in the kitchen or with the suitcases and not wanting to be a nuisance to Nathan, Sonny ultimately decided to assist Kyson with packing.
