Moreover, Noelle hadnât terminated her engagement with Quintin yet, so she still remained his fiancée, giving Cyrus no legitimate reason to take her home.
If Mekhi discovered it, he would exploit the situation.
Even if she had severed ties with Quintin, Cyrus had no official connection to her.
But it was a different case if she stayed in the N&L Fairy Land.
After all, Lucinda and Noelle were very close friends.
Lucindaâs words made Cyrus relatively rational.
He grasped Lucindaâs intentions and chose to compromise.
âAlright then⦠Could I possibly stay here for a few days?â
Lucinda turned her gaze toward Nathan, who reciprocated the look.
Their eyes met and they gave no response.
A faint blush tinged Cyrusâ cheeks as he said, âIâm more than willing to lend a hand with household chores.
Be it cooking or keeping the house tidy.
Iâm also prepared to pay ten times the market rate for my stay and meals.
â
Lucinda couldnât help but burst into laughter.
âCyrus, donât be so formal.
You can stay for a few days if you want.
Youâre family and thereâs no need to pay for anything.
â
âI insist.
I donât want to be a burden to Nathan, since he would have to take care of two more people!â
Nathan was speechless.
The tension in the living room began to dissipate.
They reached a decision to keep Noelle there.
Then Lucinda asked, âHow are things going with the Hudson family?â
âIâve given Quintin a day to think it over.
He should get back to me with an answer tomorrow morning, assuming all goes well,â Cyrus responded earnestly.
âSounds good.
â
She nodded and exhaled a sigh of relief.
It appeared that the situation was steadily improving.
As Lucinda pondered, a sudden scream echoed from the guest room upstairs, interrupting her thoughts.
It was Luisaâs voice.
Then, a cry for assistance rang out from upstairs.
âSonny! Nathan!
