Chapter 2358
Kyson couldn’t bring himself to scold her; instead, he gently caressed her head in a gesture of comfort.
“You acted admirably in standing up for your brother.
Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.
Nathan shall remain oblivious.
”
“Thank you, Kyson! You’re truly the greatest!” Destinee beamed, her innocence radiating through her smile.
At that moment, she bore a striking resemblance to a younger Lucinda, captivating Kyson’s thoughts momentarily.
“Lucinda was much like you in her youth-lively, spirited, and unafraid to express her displeasure.
Those who pissed her off soon regretted it.
”
Destinee’s curiosity was piqued.
“Did Mommy ever get into fights?”
Kyson chuckled, reminiscing about his youth alongside Lucinda.
“Oh, indeed she did.
And she was quite skilled at it.
Sometimes, when she found herself outnumbered, I’d step in to lend a hand.
One particularly memorable occasion ended with a broken nose for the other party.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
”
Destinee giggled, hanging onto every word.
“What happened next?”
“He demanded a solution from both the Simmons and Shaw families, and the two families offered compensation.
Lucinda, being adored since childhood, received little more than a reprimand.
However, I bore the brunt of the consequences, enduring a thorough beating.
”
Destinee stifled a laugh, her hand covering her mouth as she spoke.
“So, your dad would give you a lesson too if you misbehaved as a kid, right?”
Kyson smiled, falling silent.
His childhood experiences differed greatly from Destinee’s.
Destinee held a special place in Nathan’s and Lucinda’s hearts.
Regardless of the severity of her errors, Nathan refrained from harsh punishment.
Instead, he emphasized language education and deterrence.
However, during his childhood, his father traveled abroad, leaving Kaitlin in charge.
Whenever she found fault with him, Kaitlin would instruct the servant to restrain him in a chair and then proceed to beat him until he pleaded for mercy.
The pain was so intense that he remained bedridden and unable to walk for a week.
With a grim expression, he drove, eyes fixed straight ahead.
Being illegitimate, he endured years of suffering and torment, but those days were now behind him.
Kaitlin had passed away, and her favorite son, Mekhi, was confined to a high-security prison for life.
Kyson emerged as the ultimate victor.
Destinee, unaware of his past hardships, focused solely on Lucinda’s history as his nonchalant tone concealed his suffering.
