“No, thanks. I’d rather die than eat with you.”
Seeing Nathaniel’s expression harden, Cyrus couldn’t help but burst into Laughter.
His little sister was quite blunt!
As if having won the battle, Cyrus looked at Nathaniel smugly and said, “Lucinda, it’s getting dark. Let me drive you home instead.”
Lucinda turned around and saw the two men staring daggers at each other again.
She felt helpless.
If only God could step in and whisk these two men away so that she could go home in peace.
Alas, she had to take matters into her own hands.
“I’m fine. I can drive myself home,” she said wearily.
Without giving the men a chance to protest, Lucinda quickly got in the Santana and drove away.
The two men in the basement parking were still glaring at each other as she drove off.
Since Lucinda didn’t agree to Cyrus’ invitation either, Nathaniel smiled triumphantly.
“It seems that you don’t know my ex-wife that well…”
“Oh, she and I grew up together. I am sure I know her way better than you do.”
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel’s expression changed slightly.
And Cyrus caught it. He smiled at Nathaniel smugly and said, “A word of advice: go back to your girlfriend and stop pestering Lucinda.”
Then he turned around and walked away briskly, followed by Malcolm.

Left alone in the basement, Nathaniel straightened his posture. Under the dim lights, his face was obscured. No one knew what he was thinking.
Having seen what had happened from afar, Flynn was tongue-tied.
Nathaniel had battled Cyrus head on for Lucinda. He had really changed because he had never cared about his ex-wife before.
But in Flynn’s eyes, it was so unfair to Eleanor.
The poor girl had suffered too much over the past few years when she was sent abroad by Logan for Nathaniel’s sake.
Besides, Nathaniel had promised that he’d marry Eleanor and take good care of her. If she heard about what had happened, how would she feel?
