He acted with no hesitation.
His strong waist was impeccably accentuated by the pure black silk shirt he wore.
His strange behavior attracted the curious gaze of numerous onlookers.
Nathan paid no attention to them and scooped Lucinda into his arms.
Many people around exclaimed.
“What do you think you are you doing?”
Lucinda glared at him.
“Are you out of your mind? Put me down now!”
Just as she was about to struggle, Nathan whispered in her ear with a hoarse voice, “There are so many eyes on us. Remember our pact this morning? I’ve gotten rid of my jacket and gloves that she touched. I’m innocent. I’ll explain everything once we’re back home, alright?
Don’t move. If you slip from my grasp, tomorrow the stock prices of the Payne family and the Simmons family will plunge.”
Lucinda understood what was going on.
She gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to tweak his ear. She then encircled her arms around his neck.
Sensing her sour mood, Nathan’s grin grew mischievous.
“The fate of our families rests on your performance now.”
“What else do you want to do?” Lucinda could tell that he was up to something else.
His smile widened as he replied, “I’ll make you the talk of the town.
Let’s indulge in an activity befitting of an engaged couple.”

Lucinda’s heart skipped a beat as she caught a glimpse of his intense eyes, peering through the menacing ghost mask. His gaze was as piercing as that of an eagle.
Nathan playfully nuzzled his nose against hers, right in front of the onlookers.
In a hushed tone, he said, “Babe, don’t hold it against me. You left me no choice as you didn’t want to hear my explanation.”
“You…”
Her words were cut short as Nathan leaned in and planted a ki*s on her Lips.
Lucinda stayed frozen. She was initially putting on a show for the others. But soon she couldn’t help but surrender to the sweet relief his ki*s brought. Subconsciously, she closed her eyes as their breath entwined deeply.
Just outside the banquet hall, the lovers locked their lips in an affectionate ki*s.
