Lucinda gazed at him incredulously.
“Do you plan to undress me and check for a wound?”
“Yes! Let me take a look at your shins, thighs, and buttocks.”
Nathan would continue to worry about her unless he confirmed with his own eyes that she was okay.
Clutching onto her pants, Lucinda scooted back, creating some distance between them.
She put on a pretense of complaint.
“You’re such a lustful man! I refuse to believe that you merely want to check to see if I’m injured. You just want to see my butt! You’re sick. Control yourself!”
This time, sex really wasn’t on Nathan’s mind. The only thing he cared to know was whether her brother had hit her.
“Don’t misunderstand me. I’ve seen you naked before, and multiple times even. What’s wrong with me checking your body to ensure you’re not hurt? Are you scared that I’ll discover you’re lying?”

Lucinda frowned. It appeared he wasn’t going to back down easily this time.
She bit her lower lip, and her eyes were full of resentment, as if his words had stung her.
“What should I be scared of? I told you that Graham didn’t give me a hard time, but you have refused to believe me!”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She lunged at him and pushed him onto the bed. She then straddled him and gripped his wrists to immobilize him.
Truth be told, she enjoyed seeing him in this vulnerable state.
It made it easier for her to take control and tease him.
She felt like he was at her beck and call.
“How dare you doubt me? Is this how little you trust me? Remember what you said yesterday? I trusted you so much, and didn’t even get mad at you. But what about you? You suspect me of lying over something so trivial!”
Nathan felt a pang of guilt at her words. His already pale face grew even paler.
He simply didn’t trust Graham.
However, he couldn’t bear to see her sad eyes and hear the hurt in her voice.
Especially considering what had transpired between them the day before, he was rendered speechless. He became unsure of how to explain his insistence on checking her body.
Allowing himself to be led by her, he no longer pressed the matter.
Unable to press further, he could only compress his thin lips sadly.
His eyelashes fluttered uneasily, and he hung his head weakly, appearing fragile.
