Despair filled Lucinda’s heart.
However, she refused to cry in Nathan’s presence.
“Sorry, I thought you were someone I knew.”
Nathan was relieved to hear that. Lucinda was hunching over when he turned his attention to her, looking devastated.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, “Did you mistake me for your ex-husband? It seems that you still have feelings for him.”
Lucinda pressed her lips together and did not respond.
She got off the bed, grabbed the bottle of red wine from the table, and chugged down its contents in one go.
“Miss Simmons!”
Nathan snatched the bottle of red wine from her and exclaimed, “You can’t drink so much!”
“Leave me alone. We won’t be engaged for too long. I’ll end it eventually.”

Lucinda’s tone was cold and dismissive as she spoke. Rolling her eyes at him, she opened another bottle of red wine.
Nathan grabbed it again.
“If you want to drink so badly, let me join you.”
Nathan settled down on the couch and poured two glasses of red wine.
As soon as he was done, Lucinda guzzled them down.
It seemed that was not enough to release her frustration. She snatched the bottle and took a swig from it.
In no time, she was completely wasted in front of Nathan again.
Nathan sighed. He rounded the coffee table and grabbed the wine bottle from her grasp.
“Stop drinking. I’ll take you to bed.”
He then lifted her in his arms.
Lucinda did not put up much of a fight because Nathan smelled so familiar.
It caused her to become irrational and unable to think straight.
“Nathaniel… Nate…”
Nathan got up to get a towel from the bathroom, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard her say the name with so much raw emotion.
