Chapter 761

Keira smiled gently. "I understand why you're both here. Mr. Sky, are you ready?"

She was beautiful and elegant. As she spoke, her crescent-shaped eyes rested softly on Sky, and the kindness in her voice made it easy to relax. She had a calming presence that naturally lowered people's defenses.

Even so, Sky remained tense. Deep within, he felt a tightly wound knot that he was unwilling to let anyone pull at.

Seeing his hesitation, Lincoln gently said, "Sky, if you're not ready, we can always schedule another time with Ms. Chesson."

Keira smiled again. "Indeed. Although I'm a therapist, I prefer to be called Ms. Chesson. I no longer practice professionally, but you can trust that anything you share will remain strictly confidential. I would never betray your privacy."

Sky lifted his cup of tea, gently blew on its contents, and took a sip. "Please give me some time."

This tea was different from what he usually drank. It had a natural sweetness that settled warmly in his chest and stomach. That comforting sensation helped ease his nerves a little.

Keira smiled again. "Take all the time you need, Mr. Sky. I've prepared some light pastries. Feel free to enjoy them while you sip your tea and relax. We don't need to rush into anything."

She stood up and quickly returned with a tray. On it were several small plates, each holding delicate pastries that smelled as wonderful as they looked.

"These are homemade," Keira said. "Please give them a try. If you like them, I'll pack some up for you to take home later."

Sky offered a polite smile. "Thank you, but there's no need."

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally gathered his courage. "I'm ready now. We can begin."
