You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1642: Not Disbanding the Feast

"I'm leaving tomorrow," Chris announced, "so after tonight, | have to say goodbye to everyone for the tbeing. | have been out

for too long and need to go back to Alvonia."

Luther nodded slightly. "Thank you for your support during this time. If you ever need help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

Juanita's voice choked with emotion. "So tonight is actually a farewell dinner?"

Karl gently patted Juanita. "Why call it a farewell dinner? That sounds so negative. The Capital is not far from Khebury, so we can

meet up anytime."

"It's not the same. When we're all together, we can easily make plans to eat together, but when we're apart and busy with our own

lives, we gradually grow apart. Otherwise, we could all go to Khebury together." Juanita wiped away tears and held back her

emotions. "You can still go back to being a detective. After all, we all used to be in Khebury."

Joyce comforted her. "Juanita, | will cback to see you often. Don't forget that my parents are in the Capital. Karl is now the

dean of the House of Inspection. How can you let him go back to being a detective?"

"What's wrong with that? I don't want to be the leader of this association either. Besides, back then he returned to the Capital and

joined the Special Investigation Department because of you..." Juanita stopped halfway through her sentence.

Luther looked away uncomfortably. Indeed, Karl had returned to the Capital alone to search for clues because of his feelings for

Joyce. Four years had passed in a flash. Now that the case was finally solved, they had to part ways.

Karl stiffened. He looked at Joyce, and his gaze betrayed sreluctance. "Do you really have to go?"

He thought Joyce would stay in the Capital, after all, the Heath family and their military power had deep roots here. He glanced at

Luther again, and it seemed that Joyce had already chosen Luther and decided to return to Khebury.

Joyce nodded.

Karl pursed his lips and smiled. "I respect your decision."

Joyce looked at Juanita. "Juanita, the Gregory family and the Sanchez family are both in the Capital. Although you both left for

Khebury, the Capital is still your home. Now everything is back in its place. You are married and about to have a child. You have

your own life now. All good things must cto an end. I'm happy for you all today, and I'm not really keen on getting too involved

in your lives, especially with the danger that comes with it. Both you and Karl have brushed with death before, all because of me.

Fortunately, everything is over now. | don't want to involve you in any more trouble. Juanita, we will always be good friends. That

won't change."

Juanita finally couldn't hold back her tears.

The atmosphere of parting infected Nina, who had been holding back her tears for days. She thought of Chris leaving tomorrow

and finally let her tears fall.

Chris saw this and pulled her close. "They're saying goodbye, why are you crying?"

"Sorry," Nina quickly wiped away her tears.

Chris glanced at Nina. He was leaving, yet she didn't seem too upset. He didn't know if she was hiding it too well or if she really

wasn't affected. Were her tears just for him? This woman's appearance, with tears in her eyes, really made him feel sorry for her.

After the sadness passed, the atmosphere gradually becmore relaxed, and there was more laughter and chatter.

At the dinner table, Nina almost served Chris every dish, peeled shrimp and crab legs, and put them neatly in his plate. Her careful

and considerate manner was gentle and thoughtful.

Juanita was impressed. "Wow, Chris, you're really lucky. She treats you like a king, serving you with care and attention. As a man,

you're really living the high life."

Chris suddenly pushed his plate toward Nina. "Why are you doing this? Eat your own food. Do you think | need a servant girl?"

He didn't need her to serve him food. He had hands and could do it himself. This little woman hadn't even eaten properly the whole

night, busy serving him food, peeling shrimp and crab legs. He watched her working hard, and he couldn't bring himself to rebuke

her in front of everyone.

But Juanita couldn't stand it and brought it up.

He took the opportunity to get angry.

Although she took care of him meticulously, it was too subservient.

"I'm sorry." Nina bit her lip. Seeing him angry, she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

"Don't be angry at her. She's willingly doing this for you," Joyce laughed. "She must love you very much. Chris, | heard your mother

is from the royal family? Are there a lot of rules in your family? | don't think she understands your situation. You need to explain it

to her."

Chris's expression improved slightly upon hearing Joyce's words. Yes, he had never explained it to Nina.

He turned to her and scolded her softly, "Although Alvonia is a military government, it is also a democratic country. What do you

takefor? Although my mother is from the royal family, | didn't grow up with her. | don't care about the rules of the royal family."

He lifted Nina and brought her closer to him, forcing her to look at him. "We are equals, understand? You don't need to treat me

with such respect."

"Oh, I understand." Nina blinked her watery eyes and looked at him. Chris sighed and let her go and then served her a bowl! of

soup. "Drink more. You haven't eaten much tonight."

"Okay." Nina bit her lip, feeling a hint of sweetness in her heart. In fact, she not only respected him but also looked up to him. Now,

she felt like he was getting closer and closer to her. She couldn't believe she could have this man, and she wanted to work harder

to keep him.

"Haha, | think Chris is actually not difficult to get along with." Juanita propped her chin and looked calmly at Luther.

Luther's eyes darkened. This Juanita had eaten her fill and was now trying to provoke him?

Sure enough, Juanita spoke up, "If we're talking about the hardest person to get along with, Mr. Warner, you definitely take the top

spot."

Juanita shook her head and then looked at Karl. "You're second. One is an unpredictable Yama, and the other is a cold-faced Asura."

Luther's face fell.

he nodded in agreement. "That's a good description."
