Chapter 1191: Chapter 1404

His eyes brimmed with concern, yet he didn’t utter a word of inquiry.

He simply said, “Time to head home.

”

She nodded, allowed him to carry her, and rested her head against his chest.

ALL her weariness dissipated the moment she laid eyes on him.

“Nate, I’m exhausted.

I need to sleep.

”

Nathan planted a gentle ki*s on her forehead and replied, “Go ahead and sleep.

I’m here with you.

”

At the doorway, Valerie saw Nathan as he walked out of the visitation room, carrying Lucinda in his arms.

He focused solely on Lucinda, paying no attention to Valerie as he passed by.

Suddenly, Valerie approached him, bringing him to a halt.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with sarcasm.

“Nathan, there is something you should know.

The man inside is Lucinda’s biological father.

Since she isn’t a true Simmons, the wedding scheduled for next month must be called off, unless you’re ready to marry the real heiress of the Simmons family.

”

“Really?”

Nathan shot Valerie a mocking glance, his eyes filled with mockery.

“You want to be the one? But do you deserve it?”

Sonny joined in.

“Do you honestly believe you’re worthy?”

Valerie’s expression turned cold.

“Mr.

Payne, I hope that even when everyone learns about my sister being an illegitimate daughter, you’ll still have the determination to marry her, regardless of the falling stock market of the Payne Group,”

Valerie smiled and walked away arrogantly.

As Valerie’s car disappeared in the distance, Sonny snorted in contempt.

“She seems to have forgotten that she’s also an illegitimate daughter!

How infuriating! Who does she think she is, acting so high and mighty? She should be ashamed of herself.

Luisa is also only nineteen, but she’s clever and charming.

Why does Valerie have to be so repulsive?”

Sonny’s anger refused to subside, despite his lengthy rant.

Ignoring his rant, Nathan calmly instructed him, “Take care of the paternity test for Lucinda and Nigel.

Make sure everything is handled appropriately.
