“Don’t make trouble out of nothing. Sign it!”
Nathaniel hated being scolded by her. He leaned closer, held her slender wrist and said in a plaintive tone, “Are you angry that I sent Brinleigh away and pretended to be injured? I won’t lie to you again. Besides, you already punished me last night. Remember, you were in the wrong about Eleanor. Can’t we move on? Don’t be angry…”
Lucinda shook off his hand and said, “I’m not angry; I’m one hundred percent rational. I am letting you go so we can both live peaceful lives. It’ll be good for both of us.”
If what she said was true, and she was not angry with him, did it mean he no longer aroused any emotions in her?
Did it mean she didn’t care about him at all? That was worse than her hating him.

“You can be angry with me, I deserve it. I don’t want to let you go, and I won’t sign this agreement.”

He stared at her and said, “There. I tore it up. Are you angry? Will you ask Leon and Conor to beat me? Go ahead then! While I still live, I will never sign it!”

“You enjoy being mistreated, right?” Lucinda gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths, resisting the impulse to beat him herself.
“Pray that you recover slowly so my anger has time to fade.
Otherwise, I will really let them do something to you!”
She glared at him, condescendingly, and then marched out of the room.
Seeing her fury, he felt a little scared.
He was not a masochist and did not enjoy being beaten.
But it was impossible for him to sign.
In the Green family’s villa, Tess was in the study, reading a report.
It made her so angry that she swept everything off the desk, startling a servant who was bringing her a cup of coffee.
