When she placed her palm on his forehead, his eyes moved a little at the feel of her cold hand.
“I don’t have a fever. I just need to sleep for a while,” he murmured without opening his eyes.
Indeed, his forehead was too cool for him to be having a fever.
She withdrew her hand. Maybe she was thinking too much.
“Okay then, I’ll let you rest,” she said and was about to leave when Nathaniel suddenly pulled her back.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and put his head on her lap, pinning her to the bed.
She instantly stiffened, shocked by his action. When did he get this bold?

Lucinda didn’t listen to his plea though and kept pushing his arm away.
“Let go of me, Nathaniel. I have work to take care of!”
“No, please… I’m begging you…”
He sounded so sad and sincere.
Lucinda froze.
Did he just use the word beg?
So far, he acted a lot like a spoiled child, pretending to be weak at times to get her attention, but he always remained very proud.
