“Mr. Hernandez, please conduct yourself appropriately.
Miss Simmons and Master Nathan are engaged. It’s perfectly reasonable for him to take care of her,” Sonny said calmly.
“They’re engaged?” Brinleigh asked in shock.
When did that happen? Why wasn’t he aware of it?
Sonny explained, “Last night, Mr. Payne went to discuss the matter with Mr. Simmons. The news will be announced publicly at the banquet in three days.”
Brinleigh’s face turned pale. He didn’t expect the Payne family to act so quickly and for Atticus to agree to it directly!
Nathan was now Lucinda’s fiance, while Brinleigh was just her friend.
He didn’t have the upper hand.
When he saw that Brinleigh wasn’t going to stop him, Nathan picked up Lucinda and was about to leave.
Lucinda rested her head on Nathan’s broad chest and inhaled the familiar scent of tobacco from him. She unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “Don’t go. You said you wouldn’t leave me…”
Brinleigh smirked triumphantly.
“Master Nathan, it seems that Lucinda wants to go with me.”
Nathan stopped in his tracks. He lowered his head and looked at Lucinda, who was drunk but appeared to be upset.
This morning, she confessed to having feelings for a man. Nathan wondered if the man was Brinleigh.
She had even gone to the Honeion Bar alone to have drinks with Brinleigh.

Despite being a good drinker and vigilant, she ended up getting drunk.
It appeared that Brinleigh probably did hold a special place in her heart.
Nathan couldn’t help but wonder why she was attracted to Brinleigh.
With a heavy heart, Nathan asked Sonny to escort Brinleigh away.
Sonny approached Brinleigh as told.
Unwilling to leave, Brinleigh protested, “Master Nathan, please respect Lucinda’s decision and let me take her to rest.”
Nathan turned around and gave him a cold stare.
“She is my fiancee.
Regardless, it’s more appropriate for me to take care of her, not you!”
