Lucinda didn’t seem to notice his strange behavior. Instead, she asked, “How is our prisoner? Has he told you anything?”
Nathaniel shook his head.
“Nothing yet.”
“I want to talk to him alone,” Lucinda said.
Nathaniel nodded.
“Neither you nor your subordinates are allowed to eavesdrop. You must promise me,” Lucinda said.
Nathaniel was irritated by her demand, but he still agreed.
“Okay.”
Nathaniel closed the door behind Lucinda and directed Sonny and the others away from the cottage. He waited for her beneath a nearby tree.
In the cottage, Kyson saw her and smiled.
“Lucinda, I didn’t expect this to be a trap. Have you been pretending to love me all this time?”
Lucinda didn’t try to deny it.
“Yes. How else would I be able to get my hands on you?”
Kyson managed a bitter smile.

“When did you begin to suspect me?”
“I already sensed that something was wrong with you when you took out the revolver and made me choose between Nathaniel and Eleanor.”
She had started to doubt him from that moment on?
Kyson gaped at her in disbelief.
“When you said you were leaving Forden,” Lucinda continued, her face devoid of any emotion, “I chanced upon the man in black at the Samsara Bar. It was the same day that the sulfuric acid incident occurred. I had a feeling then that you were involved with the rat in the Simmons family who wanted to hurt me.”

“T see…”
“It’s true that I’ve admired you since I was a child. I’ve only ever had eyes for you in the past. So why would you try to kill me?”
“I never wanted to kill you,” Kyson said, shaking his head in earnest.
“I was devastated when the Simmons family announced your death. It wasn’t until half a month ago that I finally discovered you were still alive. I had no choice. If I didn’t agree to cooperate with that person, I wouldn’t have been able to come to Forden and see you again. You must know, Lucinda, I am willing to fight them to the end for you. If only you still loved me… But now, you have that annoying pest by your side!
That day in the bar, I was on the second floor. I never wanted to hurt you. Don’t you see? I waited until Nathaniel came because I knew that he would protect you. There’s no way I would have let you get hurt! Why would I do such a thing?”
