Chapter 1351: Chapter 1564

“I was punished, so at least there should be a little reward for me, right? Lucinda, when do you think I’ll get my compensation?”

Lucinda tenderly massaged his hands.

Seeing his Lingering displeasure, she placed a soft ki*s on his Lips.

“I have a business party to attend the day after tomorrow.

Once I’m back from that event, you’ll receive the reward you’re waiting for, alright?”

His anticipation for the reward was met with pleasant surprise, coming sooner than expected.

However, a sense of unease struck him.

“What do you mean when you come back from the party? You plan on going alone? And leaving me behind at the villa?”

Lucinda nodded and explained, “I can’t leave our children alone with Zenia.

I worry she might overlook something or it might be too much for only her to care for them properly.

”

“No way,” he asserted firmly.

“I’m going with you.

”

Lucinda’s beauty was captivating, and the thought of leaving her alone at the event unsettled him.

What if some other man tried to flirt with her?

He couldn’t control himself.

The very thought of it ignited his anger.

She wore his gloves for him and said with patience, “Nate, remember what you promised me last night? Just as I prioritize our babies, you need to as well.

If you truly want to attend the party, I’ll stay and care for the babies along with Zenia.

”

“Why can’t we attend together?” he persisted, attempting to persuade her further.

“If you’re troubled, I can arrange a whole unit of soldiers to secure the house.

I assure you, not even a fly could enter our home easily.

”

Lucinda found herself momentarily speechless.

That wasn’t what she meant.

Nathan pressed on, “If you still don’t feel reassured, I’ll ask Sonny and Luisa to care for the babies alongside Zenia.

”

Lucinda gazed at him but didn’t respond.

A hint of hurt flashed across his eyes.

“If I were to go to the party alone, wouldn’t you worry that some strange women might try to charm and flirt with me?”

Lucinda’s expression turned grave.

“If any other woman could easily sway you, then I wouldn’t want you anymore.

Even if we have children, I’d leave with them, and you’d never find us.

”

Nathan fell silent.

It seemed he had inadvertently caused a problem for himself by saying that.

He promised, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.

I guarantee it won’t happen.

But Lucinda, I truly want to accompany you.

Will you agree this time?”
