It took him an entire morning to finally appease his boss.
The days of peace always flew by too swiftlyâ¦
A few days later, it was the day Melodyâs birthday party was scheduled to be held.
Lucinda frowned as she helped Nathan with his tie.
âItâs getting colder, and besides, I donât want you attending the Hernandez familyâs party.
â
Nathan took hold of her hand and said, âItâs more than just a party so I have to go.

Even if she wanted to kill someone, he would assist her.

Lucinda said nothing.
Her face was grim and she was clearly still very worried about Nathan.
Nathan went on, âIâve been cooped up at home for over two weeks now.
If I stay indoors any longer, people will start getting suspicious.

âFine,â Lucinda finally relented.
âBut remember, no wine for you at the party.

She snorted and stared at him fiercely.
She resembled a wildcat, unsheathing its sharp claws and trying to appear intimidating.

Nathan ran his slender fingers through her soft hair, gently tilted her head back, and leaned in to ki*s her.
After a lingering ki*s, he grinned and remarked, âNo juice or wine could ever be as sweet as you.
â
Lucinda helped him put on his mask, gave him a gentle push and pouted.
âYouâre such a smooth talker.
â
Both of them strolled out of the house leisurely, and made their way to the Hernandez familyâs villa.
The birthday party commenced at seven in the evening.
Lucinda and Nathan got to the Hernandez residence thirty minutes early.
When they got there, the number of guests was still relatively sparse.
When Melody caught sight of them, hand in hand, she rolled her eye.
