Early encounter?!
He curled his lips in self-mockery.
Even if it were five years earlier, so what?
If it's not his, it's never his.
He withdrew his gaze. "Once we're back, immediately book the tickets. The morning after tomorrow... we'll head to Hong Kong early to see this Pearl of the Orient."
No desires, no weaknesses.
He learned this lesson at a very young age.
For things he couldn't obtain, he never dared to yearn. That way, there's no disappointment, no pain.
...
...
The Royal Palace.
Lucas Walker finished his phone conference, then took the document handed over by his assistant, glanced at it, and signed his name.
He lifted a hand and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Have the comparison results come back yet?"
The assistant handed him the fingerprint report.
"The fingerprints show, there's no match whatsoever."
No match whatsoever?!
Surprise flickered in Lucas Walker's eyes.
