Sally glanced between the two of them and didnt dare to speak.
After hesitating for some time, she said cautiously, I have this feeling that Nathan reminds me of someone I know.
Both Lucinda and Nathan exchanged puzzled glances and inquired, Someone you know?
Sally leaned closer to Lucinda and whispered discreetly, Dont you think Nathan bears a resemblance to your manservant back in Forden?
Her voice disrupted the serene atmosphere of the dining room.
Nathan nearly choked on his meal at Sallys revelation.
Seeing his reaction, Lucinda smiled.

What happened in Forden remained a closely guarded secret in Nathans past.
Lucinda, seeking to tease Nathan, turned to Sally and inquired, So, Sally, between Nathan and my servant in Forden, who do you find more attractive?

Obviously, Nathan! Hes your husband, wealthy and good-looking. The most influential man in the nation!
She praised Nathan and stole a quick glance in his direction.
However, his reaction was strange, as he lowered his head with a cold, unsettling expression.

Truth be told, Sally held a deep fondness for that particular manservant. So, she leaned in closer and whispered, Lucinda, did you fire that manservant? Does he still work for you?
Lucinda smiled. Oh, do you have a crush on him?
A hint of shyness graced Sallys face. Despite our disagreements, I cant help but like him. Hes the complete package. If you dont need him, Id love to hire him. Just a glimpse of him would brighten my day.
She went on, But I do recall you mentioning that he required training to learn to be more obedient.
Nathan set down his fork with a heavy thud and his handsome face turned dark.
Im full. Im heading upstairs to check on the babies.
As he walked away, Sally was left bewildered, uncertain of what she might have said to upset him.
With a gentle smile, Lucinda continued to enjoy her meal and explained, He is tough, but Ive personally trained him. Hes only gentle with me.
Really? Sallys curiosity was piqued. So, this manservant still works for you? It seems like you hold deep affection for him. Is he your lover? Does Nathan know about it?
Lucinda remained composed as she replied, He knows.
Sally was taken aback. They say Nathan is a doting husband and is devoted to you. Is he really fine with you having a lover?
