She understood that in the power struggles of the wealthy families, often it was the children who suffered the most.
Nathan had never known parental love as a child, and even the grandfather he had dearly trusted hadnât been as supportive as he had appeared.
Lucinda recognized the deep-seated struggles Nathan had endured.
Considering the mess within the Payne family, Nathanâs time with the Roberts family had been relatively stable and filled with genuine maternal affection of Amanda.
As their luxury car pulled into the Payne family garage, Lucinda stepped out and turned to notice another vehicle parked nearby.
It was not one belonging to the Payne family, butâ¦
Among the Payne familyâs luxury cars, Nathan and Sonny each owned black ones, while Lucinda had one white and two green vehicles.
The other family members primarily drove luxury cars that were red, white, or black.
However, today, a sky-blue Rolls-Royce stood out in the garage.
Its vibrant, eye-catching color made it impossible to overlook, much like her flashy green Maserati.
The sight of this color reminded Lucinda of its ownerâs deep blue eyes.
Indeed, the car seemed to reflect the personality of its owner.
Nathan wrapped his arms around Lucindaâs waist from behind and gazed at the car, noticing something amiss.
âThis doesnât look like one of the Payne familyâs cars.
â
âYes, it belongs to Kyson.
We didnât tell him we were returning to Cadiered today.
He probably came to see the babies.
â
Nathan looked at her, puzzled.
âHoney, do you even remember his license plate so clearly?â
Lucinda lightly tapped his forehead.
âWhat are you thinking? How could I remember his plate? Itâs the color that tipped me off.
â
Nathan remained silent, held his wifeâs hand in one, and carried the suitcase with the other, as they headed back to N&L Fairy Land.
When they got home, Kyson was indeed there, entertaining Destinee in the babiesâ room on the fourth floor.
Upon seeing Lucinda and Nathan enter, Kyson playfully teased little Destinee.
âDestinee, your mom and dad have finally returned from their joyful journey.
Luckily, they remembered you little ones, and didnât leave you for me to raise.
â
Lucinda and Nathan entered together.
While Kyson was amusing Destinee, they both took seats next to Colby.
âSir and madam, youâre finally back.
Iâll head downstairs to prepare the feeding bottles.
â Zenia tactfully exited the room.
Once Zenia had left, Kysonâs eyes lingered on Lucindaâs face.
After a moment, he smiled and commented, âLucinda, you look well.
It seems the trip went smoothly.
â
âYes, it was wonderful, but you and Sonny must have had a tough time.
â
With a casual smile, Kyson replied, âI am Colby and Destineeâs godfather.
Since you werenât here, it was naturally my responsibility to look after them.
