Chapter 1953: Chapter 2167

Having known each other for twenty years, Lucinda skipped the formalities and playfully teased Colby instead.

In his blue crib, Colby, with his long, soft eyelashes, blinked gently, showing little interest in the toy Lucinda was holding.

Nathan closely observed that Colby was not looking his best and turned to Kyson to inquire, “Colby doesn’t seem right.

Has he been sick in the past couple of days?”

Kyson put down the rattle he was shaking and responded earnestly, “He’s not exactly sick.

The pediatrician from the Payne family’s medical team has examined him, and for now, they haven’t found anything wrong.

It might be his natural disposition or maybe the weather affecting him.

During this time, Colby hasn’t been eating as well as Destinee.

”

Nathan’s serious face remained as he gently touched Colby’s soft cheek, but Colby did not react.

His large hand continued moving, shifting from a soft pat to a pinch.

Feeling the pain, Colby began to cry.

His cries were strong, showing he was not weak.

Watching this, Lucinda felt a pang of sorrow and quickly picked up Colby, who was now in tears, to soothe him.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.

Your daddy was too rough; he didn’t realize his own strength and turned your little face red.

Mommy will teach Daddy a lesson soon.

”

Nathan looked at his hand, a small smile appearing at the edge of his mouth.

“I didn’t use much force.

I didn’t realize my son’s skin was so soft, like jelly; it turns red with just a little pinch.

”

“You have a strong grip, and Colby has sensitive skin.

How could he handle being pinched like that? If you wanted to check on him, you should have let me do it,” Lucinda said.

They had just come back, and Nathan found himself being reprimanded over the incident with the child.

His eyes showed affection as he admitted, “Honey, you are right.

I’ll be more gentle next time.

”

As the couple conversed, Kyson merely observed from the side.

Despite the slight argument, the love in their eyes for each other was evident.

Their banter seemed to add flavor to their life, very harmonious, and he felt he couldn’t even add a word.

Sitting there seemed almost redundant.

With a slight hint of disappointment in his deep blue eyes, Kyson gently comforted Destinee until Lucinda and Nathan finished their conversation.

Then he said, “If you’re still worried, you might consider taking little Colby to the biggest children’s hospital in Stastle for a thorough check-up.

This way, no one can say I didn’t care for the babies wholeheartedly.

”

“No need,” Lucinda quickly replied.

“He’s still very young, and a complete set of tests would be too much trouble.

Nathan is just being his usual self, testing Colby without meaning any distrust towards you.

”

Lucinda and Nathan always placed their trust in those they employed and never kept anyone they doubted.

Since they had chosen Kyson to look after the babies, they felt completely secure.

“Nathan and I will only be here for one day.

We’ve booked a flight for tomorrow and will need to be in Forden for about two days.

We’ll have to rely on you a bit longer.

”

Kyson maintained his composed demeanor.

“It’s okay.

Taking care of them is my responsibility.

”

The next day, Hilliard and Jennifer had taken an early flight back to Forden at dawn to meet with the Turner family and arrange some things in advance.

Lucinda and Nathan didn’t depart until noon.

Looking at the wispy white clouds outside the plane window, Lucinda felt quite sentimental.

“Hilliard is finally getting married.

Cyrus and Noelle seem very stable too.

Sonny and Luisa are getting officially engaged in just a few days.

It’s great to see that almost all our closest ones are no longer single.

”
