âWhy the sudden interest? Were you taken by his charm at the banquet last night?â he asked in an irritated tone.
He noticed that Mekhi looked a lot like Kyson, except for the color of their eyes and their vibe.
Lucinda found herself at a loss for words.
Gently, she patted Nathanâs forehead and said, âWhatâs going on in that mind of yours? Why would you feel jealous of him? Do you want me to punish you again?â
Nathan remained silent with a sullen expression.
He was obviously still angry.
Lucinda sighed and tried to clarify, âI asked because I was concerned about Noelle.
Weâre
married now, with our own babies.
Why would I have any interest in other men?â
Her words seemed to placate him, and he realized it was time to let go of his irritation.
Nathan offered some insight, âMekhi is a tricky and cunning individual, always conspiring.
Iâve known him for years, and he seems to prioritize his own interests over family and love.
â
Lucinda understood what he meant.
âSo, if his mother somehow threatens his interests, do you think he might resort to harming her?â
âWellâ¦â Nathan lowered his head in contemplation.
âI canât say for sure.
After all, sheâs his mother.
I doubt he would hurt her.
â
But the more Lucinda thought about it, the more concerned she became for Noelle.
âI hope the banquet will go smoothly for Noelle, and she can become part of the Shaw family and get engaged to Cyrus soon.
â
Nathan gently placed the bowl down, held Lucindaâs waist, and rested his head on her belly.
âPerhaps you should prioritize planning our own wedding before worrying about others.
â
âWellâ¦â Lucinda pondered for a moment, then continued, âOur babies are only a month old.
Theyâre still too young.
We can wait until theyâre older to have a wedding ceremony.
â
As she mentioned the babies, Nathan refrained from objecting.
He didnât want her to think he didnât care about them.
He caressed her belly with his cheek and said, âVery well, we can postpone the wedding.
But can we at least have a honeymoon abroad first?â
Lucinda shook her head.
âNo, the babies are still too young.
We canât leave them with Zenia for a long period.
Letâs wait until theyâre at least ten years old and can look after themselves.
â
Nathan was at a loss for words.
He had only wanted a honeymoon trip with her, and he had to wait an entire ten years?
It was deeply frustrating, but he tried not to object.
He didnât want to face her ruler and washboard punishment again.
