âGreen roses are special, just like you,â Nathan explained.
âThey symbolize our love that will never fade, andâ¦â
He leaned in closer, whispering into her ear, âHonestly, the main reason I picked them is because you adore the color green.
â
His deep and husky voice was Like music to her.
Unable to resist, she met his soft lips with her own, and they lost themselves in the depth of their love.
As for matters concerning inheritance rights, paternity tests, and her true identity, Lucinda decided to set them aside for the time being and deal with them the next day.
That night, she slept peacefully in Nathanâs embrace.
The next morning, she was awakened by a tender ki*s.
Blinking her eyes open, she saw excitement gleaming in Nathanâs gaze as he looked at her.
âWhatâs going on?â she asked, her voice still groggy from sleep.
Nathan playfully tapped her nose and said, âActually, in addition to last nightâs proposal, I have another little surprise for you.
â
âAnother surprise?â
He whispered in her ear, âTurn on your phone and check the news.
â
Though still half-asleep, Lucinda reluctantly reached for her phone.
As she read the news, her drowsiness vanished in an instant, and she sat up in bed, wide-eyed.
Nathan had transferred all his assets to her, including his shares in the Payne Group.
Overnight, she had become the richest woman in Cadiered, the only female on the list of wealthiest people.
And to top it off, a substantial sum of money had been deposited into her bank account by Nathan.
The entire nation was shocked by this.
Unsurprisingly, it made the headlines.
âWhy⦠Why did youâ¦â Lucindaâs nose twitched.
Her emotions stirred once again by his actions.
However, she was more apprehensive.
âDo you understand what it means to give all your shares in the Payne Group to me?
This is a huge deal, Nathan! You should have spoken to me about it first!â
As a result of her worries, she sounded mad and stunned.
