Regret washed over her as she realized she had ignored him for the past thirty minutes.
“Do your wrists hurt? Where is the key? Let me unlock you.”
Nathan shifted his hands away, preventing her from attempting to free him. His eyes welled up with tears.
“You aren’t even going to punish me? You truly won’t forgive me? Do you still intend to call off our engagement and marry Kyson?”
Lucinda was short of words and confused.
She had professed her love to him numerous times before. How could he still doubt her loyalty? Did he not recall a single word she had said?
“Why bring it up again?” she retorted, her voice growing louder.
Tears filled Nathan’s eyes. He bit his lip and asked, “Why can’t I bring it up? You haven’t firmly rejected him at all, which implies that you’re willing to accept his proposal!”
Lucinda was speechless.
Indeed, she had contemplated agreeing to Kyson’s terms in order to fully cure Nathan.
“I haven’t made up my mind yet. I can’t make a decision now, but I will find the right solution to these issues.”
She was unable to provide a straightforward answer to Nathan. She was in no mood for whatever he had going on on the bed.
Pretending to search for the key everywhere, she eventually brought it out from under the lamp and freed him.
“Go back to your room and get some sleep. We’ll discuss it later,”
Lucinda said.
Nathan clenched his fists. His voice was low and hoarse as he growled, “Discuss it later? Every time it involves Kyson, you always brush me off with some excuse! You don’t tell me the truth!”
“You made a mistake and now you’re shouting at me?”

Lucinda was also outraged by his words. She tried to control her anger and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to pick up a fight with you tonight. If you want to sleep here, I’ll go downstairs and stay in a guest bedroom.”
A guest bedroom?
Was she considering herself as a guest here and attempting to distance herself from him?
Her casual statement hit him Like a bomb.
His reason crumbled to ashes.
As Lucinda turned to leave, Nathan swiftly sat up and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, so tightly that his arms began to tremble.
“Stay! Don’t leave me!” he pleaded.
