Nathan smiled.
âTheyâre fast asleep, and Zenia can handle it herself.
I canât let you handle the guests alone.
I donât want you to get too tired.
â
His sweet words used to make her happy.
But this time around, she wore a very serious expression.
âNever mind.
You stay here.
Iâll go in and watch the babies myself.
She couldnât shake off the feeling of worry unless she personally saw to the safety of the babies.
As Nathan took charge of entertaining the guests, Lucinda turned on her heels and walked into the villa.
Unsettled by her reproachful look, he quickly instructed Sonny to handle the guests, and then hurried after her.
Up on the third floor, in the babiesâ room, there were two exquisite cribs, one pink and one blue.
Lucinda walked closer, only to discover the pink crib was empty.
Destinee was nowhere to be found, and Zenia was also clearly absent from the room.
Only Colby was asleep in the blue crib.
A breath caught in Lucindaâs throat as she realized her daughter was not in the room, and an ominous sensation crept over her.
With determination burning in her eyes, Lucinda turned around to venture out in search of Destinee.
But as she caught sight of Nathan, her emotions overwhelmed her, and she grabbed his collar.
âNathan, whereâs Destinee?â
Stunned by her sudden aggression, Nathan stammered, trying to explain, âWhen I left the room, she was still fast asleep.
Donât worry, Lucindaâ¦â
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tightened her grip on his collar and glared.
âIf anything bad has happened to Destinee because of you, youâll be in serious trouble!â
His face paled, and he stood there, speechless and shocked for a while.
It had been a long time since Lucinda looked at him with such anger.
And the intensity of her emotions left him shaken to the core.
As he stood there in shock, Lucinda released her grip on his collar and swiftly made her way out of the room.
Immediately, he trailed after her.
