At that moment, Kyson approached, embracing Lyndon with enthusiasm.
âLyndon, itâs been too long!â he exclaimed.
Wearing a grin, Lyndon clapped him on the back and remarked, âKyson, itâs been four years.
Youâve grown into quite the young man.
â
âHa, youâve only gotten more dashing,â Kyson responded, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
Once they parted, Kysonâs gaze shifted to Brian, and he spread his arms wide for a hug.
âBrian, itâs been two years since youâve visited.
Iâve really missed you.
â
With a smile, Brian responded, âYou seem to have gotten stronger over time.
â
His visits to the Moreno couple with his mother were an annual New Yearâs tradition.
However, since his separation from Selina, he had ceased visiting the Moreno household.
Standing tall, Kysonâs attention turned to Rosalynn.
âBrian, is this your wife?â
With a nod, Brian introduced her, âIndeed, this is Rosalynn.
Rosalynn, meet Kyson, Mr.
and Mrs.
Morenoâs son.
â
âPleased to meet you,â Rosalynn greeted him with a warm smile.
Mirroring her smile, Kyson withdrew his hand from his pocket and extended it toward her.
âCome on, darling, letâs greet our new friend!â
Rosalynnâs smile wavered at the sight of the tiny snake nestled in Kysonâs palm, its blood-red tongue flickering in her direction.
Stunned into silence, Rosalynn couldnât find her voice.
Certainly, an unconventional reception.
Brianâs expression soured as he guided Rosalynn back, his brow creased in concern.
âKyson, you startled her.
â
Lyndon, meanwhile, fought to retract his hand, which had instinctively reached out to shield Rosalynn.
His eyes fixed on the snake.
âKyson, please put away the snake.
Itâs not polite to alarm the guest.
â
Kyson, nonchalantly handling the snake, chided them, âWhy so serious?
