But what of Lucinda?
She had lied to him!

“I didn’t!”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“You did! How loud was that shout just now? Did you conveniently forget the fifty family rules that Hilliard asked you to follow?”
He was stunned.
With the upper hand now, Lucinda raised her voice.
“Why didn’t I tell you the truth in the message? Because I was afraid you’d get suspicious and start arguing with me, just like now.
I didn’t want any misunderstandings, and I promise to distance myself from other men!
You came at me aggressively today, even attacking my guest. It was like you thought I was having an affair. You’ve seriously crossed the line!” Lucinda expressed her anger.
Nathan furrowed his brow, feeling deeply hurt.
“I crossed the line?
He wanted to ki*s my wife’s hand! I didn’t kill him right away because he had helped you in the past.
And, Lucinda, you lied to me today! You can’t deny that, can you?
It’s your fault!”
Lucinda grew angrier as she heard him yell at her. She stared at him coldly and retorted, “Fine, if you say I lied, then I lied! What do you want? Are you going to break off our engagement again? Claim that you’re tired of a woman full of lies and don’t love me anymore?
Nathan was at a loss for words.
