“You’ve got yourself a deal.”
Lucinda was left utterly speechless.
So now she wasn’t allowed to voice her opinion?
What happened to respecting a pregnant woman’s thoughts?

“What a fine day we have today. The test should kick off tonight! If you manage to walk out of this place after our assessment, then consider yourself victorious and you’ll have our blessings!” Graham declared, a smirk playing on his Lips.
Nathan nodded faintly.
“Alright.”

Nathan tensed, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
Cyrus and Hilliard promptly headed to the kitchen to fetch the wine.

“Don’t worry. Your brothers know what they’re doing. If Nathan’s determined to marry you, he must endure this trial to understand the power of your family and win their approval! He won’t dare to mistreat you in the future knowing you have people back you up!”
Lucinda was left utterly speechless.
She understood that they were doing all of this for her. But she couldn’t help feeling sorry for Nathan.
Soon, silence filled the room. Suddenly, the bodyguard stationed at the door entered and said, “Sir, there’s a girl outside. She’s been lingering by the door for a while. Is she one of your guests?”
