Chapter 1642: Not Dishanding the Feast

“I'm leaving tomorrow," Chris announced, “so after tonight, I have tosay goodbye to everyone for the time being. I have been out for toolong and need to go back to Alvonia.”

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

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

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

“It's not the same. When we're all together, we can easily make plansto eat together, but when we're apart and busy with our own lives, wegradually grow apart. Otherwise, we could all go to Khebury together."Juanita wiped away tears and held back her emotions. "You can still goback to being a detective. After all, we all used to be in Khebury.”Joyce comforted her. "Juanita, I will come back to see you often. Don'tforget that my parents are in the Capital. Karl is now the dean of theHouse of Inspection. How can you let him go back to being adetective?"

"What's wrong with that? I don't want to be the leader of thisassociation either. Besides, back then he returned to the Capital andjoined the Special Investigation Department because of you..." Juanitastopped halfway through her sentence.

Luther looked away uncomfortably. Indeed, Karl had returned to theCapital alone to search for clues because of his feelings for Joyce. Fouryears had passed in a flash. Now that the case was finally solved, theyhad to part ways.

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

He thought Joyce would stay in the Capital, after all, the Heath familyand their military power had deep roots here. He glanced at Lutheragain, and it seemed that Joyce had already chosen Luther anddecided 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 Sanchezfamily are both in the Capital. Although you both left for Khebury, theCapital is still your home. Now everything is back in its place. You aremarried and about to have a child. You have your own life now. All goodthings must come to an end. I'm happy for you all today, and I'm notreally keen on getting too involved in your lives, especially with thedanger that comes with it. Both you and Karl have brushed with deathbefore, all because of me. Fortunately, everything is over now. I don'twant to involve you in any more trouble. Juanita, we will always begood friends. That won't change.”

Juanita finally couldn't hold back her tears.

The atmosphere of parting infected Nina, who had been holding backher tears for days. She thought of Chris leaving tomorrow and finally lether tears fall.

Chris saw this and pulled her close. "They're saying goodbye, why areyou 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'taffected. Were her tears just for him? This woman's appearance, withtears in her eyes, really made him feel sorry for her.

After the sadness passed, the atmosphere gradually became morerelaxed, and there was more laughter and chatter.

At the dinner table, Nina almost served Chris every dish, peeled shrimpand crab legs, and put them neatly in his plate. Her careful andconsiderate manner was gentle and thoughtful.

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

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

He didn't need her to serve him food. He had hands and could do ithimself. This little woman hadn't even eaten properly the whole night,busy serving him food, peeling shrimp and crab legs. He watched herworking hard, and he couldn't bring himself to rebuke her in front ofeveryone.

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 headand didn't dare to speak.

"Don't be angry at her. She's willingly doing this for you," Joycelaughed. "She must love you very much. Chris, I heard your mother isfrom the royal family? Are there a lot of rules in your family? I don'tthink 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 militarygovernment, it is also a democratic country. What do you take me for?Although my mother is from the royal family, I didn't grow up with her. Idon't care about the rules of the royal family." He lifted Nina andbrought 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. "Drinkmore. 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 likehe was getting closer and closer to her. She couldn't believe she couldhave this man, and she wanted to work harder to keep him.

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

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

Sure enough, Juanita spoke up, "If we're talking about the hardestperson 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 isan unpredictable Yama, and the other is a cold-faced Asura.”

Luther's face fell.

Karl had a black line on his face.

Joyce finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. She nodded inagreement. "That's a good description."
