Nathan winced in pain and grumbled.
Despite his words, he instinctively bent down, afraid that she would tire herself out by raising her arm to pinch him.
She released her grip with a wry smile and rubbed his ear.
âIf we end up in the news tomorrow, youâll have to publicly admit that youâre a henpecked husband.
Looks like I wonât be at a disadvantage.
â
Nathan protested, âNo way! Iâll lose all my dignity! If that happens, Iâd have to do something to save myself some prideâ
âThatâs not going to happen.
â
Of course, she understood what he meant.
Rolling her eyes playfully, she sauntered down the path.
He hurried to catch up, gripping her hand tightly.
He appeared cautious, as if he feared she might abandon him.
Although she didnât inquire about the rumors surrounding him, he voluntarily shared.
âMy grandfather did once send a woman into my bed.
Sonny frightened her so much by pretending to be a ghost that she fainted, and the servants had to carry her out of my room.
Later, the news was intentionally spread by Mylo, who wanted to tarnish my reputation.
I donât know why the rumors gradually gained more tractionâ¦â
As they conversed, the assistant of Butterfly Girls rushed towards them.
âMiss Simmons! Thank goodness I have finally found you.
Something happened to the girls at the backstage.
Please come and have a Look!â
Lucindaâs face twisted with displeasure.

What a fast move! Melodyâs impatience really knew no bounds!
Lucinda glanced at Nathan and said, âListen, thereâs a full house of girls backstage.
It wonât be appropriate for you to come along.
Iâll meet you later.
And remember, no drinking!â
In front of others, she simply arched her eyebrows and offered him a gentle reminder, but the subtle threat in her eyes spoke volumes.
Nathan smiled and nodded obediently.
With that, Lucinda walked away with the assistant.
Immediately she left, his expression turned cold.
After a brief moment, Nathan quietly instructed Sonny, âTell Larry to keep a close eye on Lucinda and ensure her safety.
You go and watch over Brinleigh and his sister.
If they make any suspicious moves, report to me immediately.
â
âYes, sir!â
Once Sonny left, Nathan lifted his gaze to look around the Hernandez familyâs villa, and his face turned dark.
As he turned around, he spotted Cyrus making his way toward him.
Cyrus had learned from Lucinda that Nathan was actually Nathaniel.
