It was an hour before the appointed time. Lucinda decided to drive back to Bay Villa first.
On the second floor, Abel was bandaging Nathaniel’s waist. There were blood stains on the gauze.
Lucinda walked over and sat down.
“What happened? Didn’t the wound heal? How did it pop open again?”
Nathaniel smiled.
“Today is a special day, so I wanted to cook more dishes, but I accidentally hurt myself in the kitchen.”
A special day?
She didn’t think he was referring to Brinleigh’s birthday.
What else might make the day special?
“Have you forgotten?” Nathaniel asked.
“Six years ago, Grandpa adopted you and brought you back home with him. It was the first, no, the second time we met.”

Lucinda was surprised.
She had forgotten. How could Nathaniel remember?
Nathaniel read her thoughts, “Since I realized how much I like and care about you, I’ve remembered a lot of things about you, about us.”
Lucinda didn’t respond and kept her expression neutral.
Once the bandage was fixed in place, Nathaniel took a couple of steps toward her. He looked expectant.
“Lucinda, I wanted to celebrate this anniversary with you. I’ve made mistakes, and it’s time I made up for them. I’ve cooked a lot of dishes. Would you like to have dinner with me?”

Lucinda frowned.
“No.”
Nathaniel was shocked by Lucinda’s response. He honestly hadn’t expected her to refuse so decisively.
Lucinda said, “Those years were the darkest times of my life.
Logan had helped me a lot, but he didn’t really trust me that much.
Amanda accused me of stealing her jewelries, and Enoch helped her.
Logan knew this, but he didn’t say a word for me, talkless of lifting a finger. It’s not like I hate him because of this, but get this-I will never celebrate the day he brought me home.”
