With Nathan by her side, Lucinda didnât feel lonely this time around.
Both of them leaned on the planeâs window, gazing at the first Light of the morning sun, the towering mountains, and the billowing clouds.
They also enjoyed the beauty of the evening sunset together.
Lucinda playfully pointed to the purple and red hues in the sky and asked, âHoney, do you fancy those colors? Once we reach our hotel, I can beat you until your skin turns as bright as those colors.
â
Nathan tenderly held her waist and remarked, âI canât imagine youâd put me through such agony.
â
She smiled and ki*sed him on the cheek, knowing he was right.
Hurting him like that was not in her plans.
Despite this unexpected âhoneymoon,â she hoped it would be a delightful and memorable experience.
The twenty hours flew by with his companionship.
Upon their arrival in Aldoria, they disembarked the plane at nine oâclock in the evening.
The airport was relatively empty, and Ellsworthâs arranged welcome party had eagerly awaited Lucinda for quite some time.
As Lucinda and Nathan walked hand in hand out of the passageway, Ellsworthâs assistant, Etta, exclaimed with enthusiasm and hurried over to greet them.
âOh, Mr.
Payne came with you? Itâs a tremendous honor to welcome the wealthiest woman in Cadiered and the most influential figure from the National Security Bureau at once.
â Etta expressed with admiration.
Nathan, still holding Lucindaâs hand firmly, responded with a warm smile, âMy wife is on a business trip, and Iâm here to keep her company for a few days.
â
Etta gazed at them with envy and remarked, âI can clearly see how much you adore your wife.
â
Nathan beamed with happiness and never let go of Lucindaâs hand.
âMy wife is exhausted.
Could you please take us to the hotel?â
âOkay,â Etta replied with a nod and motioned for them to get into the car.
About fifteen minutes later, they got to the hotel.
Etta respectfully handed the presidential suite key to Nathan.
âSir, this is the hotel room Mr.
Nguyen has arranged for you and your wife.
Itâs quite late, and you must be exhausted after your long journey.
Have a restful night.
There will be a dedicated car to transport you and your wife to the bidding the day after tomorrow.
â
Nathan casually accepted the key.
âThe bidding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and itâs Lucindaâs first visit to Aldoria.
Iâd like to explore the city with her tomorrow.
Could you suggest a great place for a day trip?â
After a moment of contemplation, Etta replied, âPerhaps youâd be interested in the museum, where you can learn about the local culture.
Alternatively, I can inquire if Mr.
Nguyen has the time to show you around the Aldoria royal castle.
