I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 722

"Don't worry, Mr. Nicholson. I know her very well. She has a kind heart, and she would never support evil deeds."

Kingsley patted his shoulder affectionately. "You mentioned that your son has a sharp eye, but it seems you do too. You've found yourself such a wonderful wife!"

Cassius grinned. "It runs in the blood."

Soon, Shannon emerged from the kitchen, carrying two plates of stir-fried dishes. Although her eyes were slightly red from crying, she had managed to regain her composure.

It seemed that finally unraveling the burden she had carried for so long had lightened her spirit, and the gloom on her face had subsided.

"Mr. Nicholson, our place is small with only two bedrooms. Is it okay for you to sleep with Cayden tonight?" Shannon posed.

Cassius chimed in quickly, "His room has a double bed, it'll be perfect."

Kingsley nodded warmly. "Of course, I'm not particular about where I sleep. I used to sleep on grass, snow, and mud during the war. I've seen it all."

Shannon uttered, "Alright, then I'll get a blanket for you."

Later on, Kingsley had a few more drinks with Cassius before retiring to Cayden's room.

Cayden had to attend school the next day, so they couldn't sleep in too late.

As Kingsley lay in bed, about to drift off to sleep, Cayden reached out his small hand and gently tapped him. "Uncle Nicholson, are you asleep?"

"No, what's the matter?"

Kingsley turned to face him, and in the moonlight shining through the window, he met Cayden's innocent gaze.
