Chapter 113 A Consolation Prize

Kaia whispered softly, “Thank you.”

Lucien chuckled, his voice carrying an unmistakable tenderness. “10 minutes. I’ll be right there.”

Tobias also came for this occasion, along with Sally and Kimberly.

“This is so annoying! Why did it suddenly start raining?” Kimberly whined.

Tobias watched Kimberly acting all moody, and his heart sank.

His frustrated mood shifted when he spotted a black figure in

the distance.

Lucien stood tall in a black suit, holding a black umbrella as he walked up the mountain path. He moved quickly, disappearing from view within moments until he was just a black dot.
