Lindsey responded with a polite smile. Thank you, Sumner.
She then exchanged greetings with Paige seated across from them.
Paige couldnt contain her smile as she watched Sumners thoughtful and gentle ways while he attended to Lindsey.
Thinking about her godson, who was both kind and good-looking, not to mention accomplished, she mused that any girl would be lucky to have him. She was certain Lindsey would eventually develop feelings for him.
After a while, the ladies came one after another and began to have dinner.
Throughout the meal, Sumner attentively served Lindsey, ensuring she wasnt uncomfortable or struggling to eat. He also shared various intriguing experiences from his time studying overseas.
Noticing Lindseys initial unease gradually transforming into a relaxed smile, Sumner felt a sense of satisfaction.
Once dinner was over, Paige glanced at Lindsey and Sumner and suggested warmly, I need to spend some time chatting with these ladies. You young ones should enjoy yourselves a bit. Dont feel obliged to stick with us the whole time. The night scenery here is quite stunning. Sumner, why dont you take Lindsey for a stroll?
Alright. Shall we go, Lindsey? Sumner stood up and looked at her.
Lindsey agreed with a nod and bid farewell to Paige and the other ladies. She then left alongside Sumner.
Lindsey let out a breath of relief.
She was finally at ease. Although she had crossed paths with Paige multiple times, this was her first time joining her for fun and leisure. The experience had been a bit nerve-wracking.
Lindsey, she is quite laid-back, you know. You dont have to be overly formal around her. Sumner gazed at Lindseys calm expression.
I never imagined youre Vincent and Paiges godson. Whats your family involved in? Are you also in the movie industry? Lindsey and Sumner strolled out, deep in conversation.

I never met my parents. My Mom died giving birth to me, and my Dad left, remarried, and never looked back. The Lopez couple adopted me and raised me. They mean the world to me.
Hearing this, Lindsey paused. She hadnt anticipated that Sumner had such a miserable life story. Im sorry, Sumner. I had no idea you had experienced all of that
At that moment, they had wandered to a scenic spot in the resort, surrounded by strips of soft lighting. The purple hues painted a stunning and surreal picture.
Sumner stopped, pivoted, and cast a soft gaze upon her. Its alright.
Theres no secrecy in it. Ive grown accustomed to it. Moreover, if youre curious about my family, Im actually very glad.
