âWell, I still am! Iâm sorry.
I know I was wrong, but I wasnât thinking straight.
I wonât do it again.
Nate, please give me a chance to make it right.
Remember how I saved you years ago?â
Nathaniel remembered her strong and determined look when she had saved him.
She was so weak and small, but she stood up to protect him.
Maybe she really didnât mean to hurt Lucinda.
Maybe, like she said, she was just worried.
Nathanielâs tone softened.
âLetâs just forget it.
But donât do something like this again.
â
Eleanor felt a wave of relief wash over her, but before she could speak, Nathaniel held out his hand.
âGive me the key.
â
She froze.
She was about to defend herself when Nathaniel interrupted her.
âI know Flynn gave you the key to the villa without my consent.
Give it to me now.
â
Flynn Evans had been Nathanielâs assistant for many years.
With no other option, Eleanor reluctantly gave him the key.
âDonât ever return to this villa.
Iâll find you a new place soon.
Iâm sure you are tired, so return to the hotel and get some rest for now.
â
Nathaniel didnât wait for her to respond.
He immediately told the driver to take her back.
After Eleanor left, Flynn who had been waiting in the garden quietly entered the living room, expecting to be scolded by his boss.
Nathaniel glared at Flynn with cold eyes.

âDo you think you can make decisions for me now? If this repeats itself, you know the consequences.
â
âYes, sir.
â
Nathaniel tugged at his tie in frustration and lit a cigarette before taking a long drag, replaying the way Lucinda had looked at him before she left.
Her eyes were as cold as ice.
He couldnât help but wonder if it was because of the wrongs that were done to her this time that she was so dead-set on divorcing him.
She acted tough and didnât accept any money from him.
Did she really believe she could live on her own without his financial support?
He didnât want to dwell on it, but the thought of her struggling made him really uneasy.
