He had been searching for Lucinda day and night. His injury and fever had taken their toll, and his face was very pale.
Very different from his usual healthy glow, but he was still handsome.
On him, the pallor simply added a special charm.
When he reached Forden, the first thing Nathaniel did was return to his home. He wanted a hot shower and to change into a clean suit.
He had turned off his phone to preserve the battery. There was no signal in the mountain, and it seemed pointless to waste power.
When he switched on the phone, multiple missed calls and texts popped up.
All were from Jaxen.
Nathaniel called Jaxen, who quickly picked up. He sounded extremely anxious.
“Finally, you called! I was starting to wonder whether you were dead!”
Frowning, Nathaniel asked, “Did something happen?”
“Go to the Roberts Group now! Something has happened! Something huge!”
After ending the call, Nathaniel barked orders at Sonny and the others to return to their posts and wait for further instructions. He then hurried over to Roberts Group.

“Mr. Roberts, long time no see!”
Upon hearing him open the door and walk in, the woman swiveled around in the chair, and looked at him with a bright smile.
“Surprise! Are you shocked to find me sitting in your seat?”
Nathaniel gritted his teeth and fixed his gaze on the woman before him.
It had been over two weeks since they last saw each other, and he couldn’t help but notice how stunning she looked. Her lips were always laced with arrogance and sensuality when she smiled, but her gaze towards him was icy.
Despite his desperate search for her, Nathaniel couldn’t find it within himself to smile upon seeing this person sitting right in front of him, safe and sound.
