Nathaniel acted like a worried father, asking so many questions.
Which one should she answer first?
While changing into her indoor slippers, she said, “Noelle was drunk, and I took her home. She vomited and then passed out. So, I stayed to take care of her.”
Nathaniel was stunned.
Noelle?
The trainee?
Should he now even fight women for her attention?
Lucinda rubbed her shoulder and was about to go upstairs.
Nathaniel grabbed her wrist.
“Lucinda, I spent three hours on those dishes last night. Won’t you at least …”
He was interrupted by Lucinda’s cold gaze.
“And? I told you; I’ve already had breakfast. If you haven’t, you can eat them.”
His heart ached. He found it hard to breathe. It was impossible to speak.
Lucinda freed herself from his grip and went upstairs to her room.

Watching her leave, Nathaniel thought of the dishes he had meticulously prepared.
They were exquisite, but they were already cold, just like her cold heart.
A profound sense of loss and guilt surged up in his heart.
Lucinda changed her clothes before coming downstairs again. She saw him still standing in the living room, dazed.
She coughed.
“Hurry up and eat, and then change your clothes. We’re going out.”
“Where?”
Smiling, Lucinda said, “To meet Enoch Roberts.”
A loud noise woke the owners of the mansion.
Enoch and his wife, Zola, crept downstairs to investigate.
