Ellsworth and I are familiar with each other. Since hes agreed to work with you on the project, you can delegate the bidding to your team. Youre more than capable of winning it. Why exhaust yourself like this?
She sighed, I understand, but I dont want you to pull strings on my behalf. I dont want any accusations of winning through unfair means. I aim to be transparent and show everyone that my company is reliable and superior.
Nathan tenderly caressed her face, concerned by her exhaustion.
But he recognized her determination. Once she made up her mind, it was challenging to change it.
Instead of convincing her, he inquired, The bidding meeting is scheduled for three days from now. Youll be embarking on a business trip abroad around the same time. How long is your stay there going to be?
Ill wrap up the final business plan tonight and catch the earliest flight to Aldoria tomorrow morning. If all goes as planned, I should return in a few days.
A few days? His expression turned gloomy. I cant bear to be away from you, even for a single day, honey. How can you be gone for so long?
Lucinda found it amusing. Youre being a bit dramatic.
He let out a sigh, genuinely concerned. No, I need to go with you. I can manage my work remotely and consider this trip our honeymoon. Ill like to take a few days off.

.
With a grave expression, she patted his forehead and said, No, you cant. If you go, Zenia will have to cater to both babies alone. What if something happens to them?
I could call Sonny and ask him to assist in looking after the babies.
She inquired, When you leave, youll entrust the National Security Bureaus affairs to him, right? He also has to manage Payne Groups business and provide you with regular work updates. When will he find the time to care for Colby and Destinee?
Upon hearing this, Nathan remained silent and appeared quite despondent.
Lucinda embraced him and smiled warmly. Dont worry, Ill return in a few days. Everything will be fine. Focus on your own work and dont come with me, okay?
He hung his head and gave no response.
She lifted his chin and planted a reassuring kis on his lips.
She had originally intended for just a tender kis, but things soon got out of her control.
Realizing he was about to undress her, she stopped him in the nick of time.
Stop it. The door is open.
Nathan was unwilling to release her. He held her slender waist firmly.
Zenia and the babies are sound asleep. They wont be coming downstairs. Theres no one else in this villa. What are you so worried about?
He tried to kis her again, but she pushed him away. She then insisted, No, we cant. Zenia might need to use the bathroom later.
If she sees us in the act, itll be embarrassing. Stop it!
Nathan pouted in frustration. He felt dejected.
