With a sigh, Lucinda considered the situation.
“You don’t have to cook tonight,” she said to Nathaniel.
“We have things under control here. The garden needs tending to, though. The leaves have been falling a lot lately. You can go and sweep them up.”
He should leave to sweep fallen leaves?
Should he really leave her alone to have dinner and chat with these two men?
Cyrus could stay with her but Nathaniel was against her spending time with Brinleigh.
Nathaniel stood there with a straight face, refusing to move.
Lucinda walked to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine. When she turned around, she saw that Nathaniel was still standing there.
“Leave here now. If you can’t walk, I’ll tell Jose to haul you out.”
Looked like he had no other choice but to leave.

Nathaniel walked away with a straight face. He slammed the door loudly intentionally to show his anger.
Cyrus pointed at the direction Nathaniel went and complained to Lucinda, “He has such a poor character. He really should be punished for it.”
Lucinda couldn’t help but giggle.
“Oh, don’t worry about him. I know how to handle him,” she said with a smile.
Cyrus didn’t respond. But Brinleigh didn’t seem too pleased with Lucinda’s response.

“You have to be careful, Lucinda. Nathaniel is a proud man. It’s like dealing with a wild animal. They may seem weak when injured, but they’ll strike back when they get the chance. Don’t you believe that he had hurt you on purpose? Who knows? He might even hurt you again,” he warned.
Cyrus agreed with Brinleigh’s words and nodded in agreement.
While Lucinda opened the fridge to find some cheese, she smiled and assured everyone, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
Meanwhile, in the garden, Nathaniel was lost in thought.
He wondered what kind of person Lucinda was with other men.
He slowly moved to the window and saw the harmonious scene at the table. He saw her very cheerful.
He could recall how she used to smile sweetly at him when they just got married. Her eyes clearly showed that she Loved him.
When did she begin to smile less and even look at him with coldness?
Since their divorce, she had transformed into a stunning, fierce, and composed woman who faced every challenge with confidence and poise.
