Nathan remained silent and trembled.
Could he bear the consequences of his actions?
He stood his ground.
âHoney, I paid off your staff to ensure your safety when youâre not with me.
Theyâre loyal because Iâm your husband, and they know I wonât cause you any harm.
â
With a serious expression, Lucinda paid close attention to his words.
âYou just said âtheyâ? The spies are more than one? How many are there in total at Angle Intl? Do you also have spies in Simmons Group?â
Nathan fell silent.
He didnât know how to respond.
What should he do now?
Looked like he had revealed too much.
Seeing him silent, Lucinda knew he was trying to come up with a lie.
She continued pinching his face in frustration.
âOuchâ¦â Nathan winced in pain and took a deep breath.
âHoney, be gentle.
If you keep pinching me, my face will get swollen.
â
She released him angrily and pinched his waist hard.
âYou will write down their names when we get home.
Donât try to deceive me.
Severe punishment awaits if you donât say the truth.
â
âCalm down.
â He didnât dodge.
Instead, he held her waist and braced against her arm.
âDonât be mad.
Do you want ginger tea? I can make you some when we get home.
â
Seeing his compliance, Lucindaâs anger began to dissipate.
She looked down at her belly and said, âMy stomach is aching.
Rub it for me.
â
âAlright, my dear wife.
â
As long as he could avoid getting some beating, he was willing to do anything for her.
Nathan promptly straightened up and gently rubbed her belly.
Lucinda giggled and taunted, âYou know I like it when you are obedient.
Donât be so suspicious of me.
Give me some credit!â
He shook his head and responded, âItâs not that I doubt you.
Itâs just that your beauty makes me wary of those men outside.
â
Alas!
A sigh escaped Lucindaâs lips.
It seemed impossible to change his mind.
