He couldn’t let her hurt herself with the broken piece. He tried to get away this time, but she was faster than him. The broken porcelain brushed by his collarbone and drew some blood. Just seconds later, the neckline of his white shirt was stained red.
Lucinda was disappointed. She was aiming for his neck and not a small scratch on his collarbone.
Nathan used her short moment of pause to grab her wrist, take the broken porcelain from her hand and throw it away.

“No, I…”
Lucinda hit her head against his forehead with force before he could put in a word.
Caught off guard, he loosened his grip on her and she swiftly took off his mask.
Nathan couldn’t believe how agile she was even in her drunken state.
He turned his back to her to hide his face, his heart beating unusually fast.
He waited anxiously for her to say or do something, but seconds went by and he heard nothing.

After taking care of her while she was drunk, all he got out of it was a good beating? With the strength she had, one would have never thought she was drunk.
After she told him that she had feelings for another man, he did his investigation and figured out that it was probably Brinleigh. That alone hurt a lot, and now she had beaten him up. It was enough for one day. He couldn’t take the pain any longer.
Tears filled Nathan’s eyes as he thought of these.
Lucinda shook a Little on the bed and stared at him for a long time.
When Nathan finally felt her piercing gaze on him, he turned sharply and met her eyes.
He was a little stunned by her intense gaze. Why was she looking at him like that?
