She resumed stirring the chicken soup to cool it down.
“I had Sonny carry you in. You were sleeping so peacefully, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”
She scooped a spoonful of soup and brought it to his lips.
“Be careful; it’s still hot.”
After a brief moment of surprise, he obediently opened his mouth.
“Why are you being so kind today?” He found it unusual and couldn’t help but feel curious.
Lucinda hid the sadness in her eyes as she fed him another spoonful of soup.
“You worked hard last night. Consider this a reward for you, alright?”

Both of them engaged in a lively discussion about the topic of ‘hard work.’ Soon enough, a bowl of chicken soup was consumed by Nathan.
Today, Lucinda had handed over the company’s affairs to Vivian and planned to spend the day at home with Nathan.
In the afternoon, Lucinda sat cross-legged on the sofa, lazily watching a TV show. While Nathan rested his head on her lap as he worked on his tablet.
Suddenly, there was an quick knock at the villa door.
Outside the door stood Abel.
“Miss Simmons, something terrible has happened! Your father and brother are quarreling at the ancestral temple. The situation is getting out of hand. Please go and stop them!”
Lucinda rose to her feet and swung the door open.
“What’s the matter? Why are they quarrelling?”
Abel panted heavily and responded, “Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez came to see your father this morning. I have no clue what they said to him.
Your brother has been furious ever since last night’s incident. Maybe it’s because of the engagement and then Miss Moran…”
A frown creased Lucinda’s forehead.
Had her father already found out about Cyrus and Noelle’s relationship?
No wonder they were fighting!
She had to hurry back, just in case Cyrus suffered any setbacks.
