Nathan winced in pain and grumbled.
Despite his words, he instinctively bent down, afraid that she would tire herself out by raising her arm to pinch him.
She released her grip with a wry smile and rubbed his ear.
“If we end up in the news tomorrow, you’ll have to publicly admit that you’re a henpecked husband. Looks like I won’t be at a disadvantage.”
Nathan protested, “No way! I’ll lose all my dignity! If that happens, I’d have to do something to save myself some pride”
“That’s not going to happen.”
Of course, she understood what he meant. Rolling her eyes playfully, she sauntered down the path.
He hurried to catch up, gripping her hand tightly. He appeared cautious, as if he feared she might abandon him.
Although she didn’t inquire about the rumors surrounding him, he voluntarily shared.
“My grandfather did once send a woman into my bed. Sonny frightened her so much by pretending to be a ghost that she fainted, and the servants had to carry her out of my room. Later, the news was intentionally spread by Mylo, who wanted to tarnish my reputation. I don’t know why the rumors gradually gained more traction…”
As they conversed, the assistant of Butterfly Girls rushed towards them.
“Miss Simmons! Thank goodness I have finally found you. Something happened to the girls at the backstage. Please come and have a Look!”
Lucinda’s face twisted with displeasure.

What a fast move! Melody’s impatience really knew no bounds!
Lucinda glanced at Nathan and said, “Listen, there’s a full house of girls backstage. It won’t be appropriate for you to come along. I’ll meet you later. And remember, no drinking!”

In front of others, she simply arched her eyebrows and offered him a gentle reminder, but the subtle threat in her eyes spoke volumes.
Nathan smiled and nodded obediently.
With that, Lucinda walked away with the assistant.
Immediately she left, his expression turned cold.
After a brief moment, Nathan quietly instructed Sonny, “Tell Larry to keep a close eye on Lucinda and ensure her safety. You go and watch over Brinleigh and his sister. If they make any suspicious moves, report to me immediately.”
“Yes, sir!”
Once Sonny left, Nathan lifted his gaze to look around the Hernandez family’s villa, and his face turned dark.
As he turned around, he spotted Cyrus making his way toward him.
Cyrus had learned from Lucinda that Nathan was actually Nathaniel.
