Nathan caught sight of her four-inch high heels and then agreed out of pity.
Together, they walked down the pebble path in the garden.
The surroundings was peaceful, and the lights cast a dim glow around.
It created a romantic atmosphere that added a touch of haze to their backs.
Nathan strolled quietly with his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his suit. He emanated an air of nobility.
As long as Valerie didn’t break the silence, he wouldn’t initiate a conversation.
They both ambled at a slow pace, creating an oddly tense atmosphere.
Lost in thought, Valerie pondered on what topic to bring up. The path they walked on was far from smooth. Abruptly, she missed a step and found herself losing balance.

Instinctively, she stumbled towards Nathan as her body seek support.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Nathan reached out and assisted her to her feet.
“I was scared to death!”
Her face turned pale. She clung onto his arm and tried to embrace him.

She brimmed with derision and cold indifference.

Before he could even finish his sentence, Lucinda snorted dismissively and walked away without a single glance back.
“Lucinda!”
The frigidness in her eyes pained Nathan’s heart. He wanted to chase after her, but Valerie appeared to be trembling with fear. She held onto his arm tightly, unwilling to let go.
“I think I might have sprained my foot. It hurts!”
Nathan didn’t care if she was injured. His gloved hand gripped her by the neck, fury evident in his eyes.
“You’ve seen Lucinda behind us for quite some time, haven’t you? And you plotted against me, feigning a fall.”
