After breakfast, she said, “I have some urgent matters to attend to today and have to go back home. You will not go to the Payne Group for now. If there are any documents requiring your signature, ask Sonny to send them over.”
Nathan was a little taken aback.
“Are you going to see your father?
Let me go with you.”
“There’s no need.”
Lucinda looked down and buttered the toast, hoping to conceal her slight embarrassment.
“You’ve just had an angina attack yesterday, and you need to conserve your strength. No need to run around. Focus on resting and recovering.”
Nathan couldn’t help but feel a sense of worry, especially when he noticed Lucinda changing into a different set of clothes upon their return.
She had always favored dresses, but today she opted for a pair of sturdy jeans and a simple white T-shirt, accentuating her tall and slender frame.
However, something felt amiss to Nathan.
“Looks like Graham is still in Stastle. I’m concerned about you going back alone.”
Lucinda burst into laughter.
“He’s my brother and he loves me more than anyone else. Do you think he would harm me?”
Nathan remained quiet but his breath was heavy.
Lucinda leaned in, planted a gentle ki*s on his forehead, and tenderly smoothed his short hair.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let him know that we’ve gotten sexually intimate. Just stay at home and await my return.”
“Okay.”
His mood was eased at the sound of her soothing words.
Lucinda went out pleased.
Instead of making her way to Atticus’ villa atop Peace Mountain, she drove straight to Graham’s residence.
Standing at the gate of Graham’s villa, Lucinda hesitated for a moment. She took a series of deep breaths and obsessively checked the thickness of her trousers before finally summoning the courage to press the doorbell.
Immediately, the door swung open, causing her hand to freeze mid-air.
Before her stood Graham whose eyes were as cold as ice. He wore an expensive blue suit and exuded an overwhelming aura.
“Hi, Graham. What a coincidence! Are you heading out? Have you had breakfast yet?” She withdrew her hand awkwardly, flashed an overly bright smile, and spoke in a flattering tone.
