Noelle had gone to Barnard for the photo shoot. After the fiasco that was Delavan’s affair, she had finally started to divert her focus to her career. Lucinda thought she would drop by and check on things.
Norton and Kern came up to her as soon as she came out of the villa.
“Hello, Mr. Payne.”
Norton nodded and sidled up next to Lucinda to walk along with her, a faint smile on his face.
“You’ve been staying here for quite a while, do you like it here?”
“Yes, I’m doing just fine. Nathan is very good to me. Don’t worry.”
“That’s great, then.”
Norton’s smile widened, and his eyes shifted from Lucinda’s face to her belly.
“The two of you have a very good relationship, so why aren’t you pregnant yet? Be careful not to take any medicine without professional advice, for it might do you more harm than good. Ah, if you get pregnant, your union will be very blessed indeed.”
Lucinda felt her cheeks grow hot at the sensitive topic being discussed so openly. She mustered an awkward smile and muttered, “I see.”
Pregnant?
Truth be told, she didn’t dare to get pregnant at this time.
If Graham found out, she was certain that he would break her legs before she could even give birth.
Norton rambled some more, speaking in earnest of marriage and relationships.
Lucinda would chime in with polite responses once in a while.

After the two had taken their leave, Lucinda couldn’t help but look down at her belly.
Although she feared Graham’s inevitable reaction if she indeed was with child, she had to admit that she was also interested in having a baby.
She and Nathan had had unprotected sex multiple times, to be honest.
Now that she thought about it, she wondered why, indeed, she wasn’t pregnant yet.
Was there something wrong with her? Or Nathan, perhaps?
But after what she had endured early this morning, she wasn’t too eager to breach the topic with Nathan. He might think she was doubting his manhood again and give her another long episode of his so-called punishment.
Besides, with everything that was going on, it might not be the right time to have a child.
Taking comfort in this thought, Lucinda took a deep breath and set out to Barnard.
The moment she arrived, her attention was instantly drawn to a stooping figure that huddled near the entrance of the building.
