Over 20 minutes later, their car halted in the Payne family estateâs garage.
Nathan exited the car first and then carried her out.
Lucinda clasped her arms around his neck and said, âI can walk on my own.
This long dress weighs several pounds.
I must be quite heavy now, donât you think?â
âItâs best if I expend some of my strength now.
Else, I fear you might not be able to endure tonight.
â
After he said that, Lucinda didnât smile.
She had a serious look on her face.
Nathan sensed something amiss from her expression.
Damn it! His response was off the mark.
He shouldnât have said that.
Nathan had an epiphany and hastily rephrased his words.
âHoney, I want to clarify something.
I never said you were heavy.
Youâre as light as a feather, and your figure is perfect.
I adore you so much that I canât help staring at you.
â
Nervously, he glanced at Lucinda, who met his gaze in silence.
Nathan was puzzled.
Was this still a wrong response?
He had no idea what was considered the right thing to say.

Seeing her expression turning colder, he pleaded, âCould you give me an idea of what you want to hear?â
Lucinda retorted haughtily, âSure.
When weâre back in the bedroom, Iâll spell it out with a ruler, word by word.
How does that sound?â
Nathan froze with fear.
Pouting, she continued, âYou said that so easily.
Those are your true thoughts.
I just had a heavy dress on.
How could you call me heavy?
Iâve given birth to two babies for you, a significant contribution to the Payne family.
How dare you criticize me? Youâll bear the consequences when we return to our room.
â
Nathan was stunned.
Trying to ease the tension, he cautiously asked, âHow would you Like to punish me, Lucinda?â
With a mischievous grin, Lucinda replied, âIâll give you a spanking!â
He was so terrified that he couldnât utter a word.
