Destinee giggled behind her hand and suggested, âWhy not buy a durian? If Colby still wonât forgive you, you could kneel on the shells.
That would really touch him!â
Kyson was left speechless.
As Colbyâs godfather, Kyson felt that kneeling to him was not fitting.
Even if they werenât godfather and godson, he was still the older one.
It seemed more natural for Colby to show him respect due to his age.

However, Kyson was more intrigued by Destineeâs line of thought.
âDestinee, where did you come up with that? Has⦠Nathan done something like that before?â
Destinee shook her head earnestly.
âIâm not sure.
Whenever Mommy disciplines Daddy, she closes the door, so Iâve never actually seen what happens.
Our doors block sound really well; I once tried to listen through the wall, but I couldnât hear anything.
â
Kysonâs expression grew serious.
The door was shut, and inside, Lucinda was setting Nathan straight.
They were a couple in love.
These thoughts led Kyson to imagine some rather unsettling scenarios.
Regaining his composure, he asked, âSo, why did you think of using a durian?â
Destinee grinned mischievously and sweetly.
âBecause durians are delicious! I feel like having some, and Colby loves them too.
If you buy it, you could kneel on the shells while Colby and I eat the fruit.
That way, nothing goes to waste!â
She laughed brightly, lighting up her face, and then added, âIf you donât like durian, you could always choose pineapple.
Itâs sweet and tasty as well!â
Kysonâs mouth twitched slightly at Destineeâs words.
ââDestinee, youâre so⦠thoughtful.
â
Their conversation vaguely reached Colby, who was receiving an IV in the room.
âWhoâs there?â he asked in a crisp tone.
At the door, Destineeâs eyes widened in shock, and she quickly covered her mouth.
âDid he hear us? Was I too loud?â
Kyson said, âItâs okay.
We werenât scheming anything.
â
He patted her head and sighed quietly.
ââDestinee, go keep Colby company for a bit.
Iâll go out and buy a durian and a pineapple.
â
âGreat!â Destinee exclaimed with joy.
Upon entering the room, Destinee happily leaped toward Colby on the bed.
âAre you hungry, Colby? Weâre going to have fruits this afternoon.
Itâs durian and pineapple.
â
Colby looked at her without expression and tapped her forehead with his finger, keeping her at a distance.
