Chapter 1686: Chapter 1900

Lucinda, with these thoughts in mind, set aside the issue with Nala and returned to work.

For Lucinda, time always seemed to fly when she was focused on her tasks.

Just as Lucinda was about to put her signature on the final document, her phone started ringing.

This served as Lucinda’s self-set alarm to leave work half an hour ahead of schedule.

Lucinda had planned to dine with Nathan at his grandfather’s villa that evening, eager to see how Colby and Destinee were doing under his grandfather’s care.

She hoped that if she experienced another episode tonight, she could address it by following Nathan’s suggestions.

Lucinda yearned to bring the children home soon, to feel more at peace with them under her constant watch.

While lost in thought, Lucinda tidied up her desk and prepared to finish her workday.

When Lucinda stepped out of the CEO’s office and into the elevator, her phone rang, and it was Nathan on the line.

“Honey, I’m in the garage already,” Nathan said.

“Already?” Lucinda responded, a bit surprised.

Nathan’s voice held a smile.

“I always try to be prompt about picking up my wife.

”

Lucinda’s heart warmed at his words, and she quickly headed downstairs.

Down in the parking lot, Nathan leaned casually against the car, his striking face on full display.

Upon spotting Lucinda, Nathan swung open the car door and, as was his custom, gripped the car’s roof to shield her from any accidental bumps.

He then leaned in and secured Lucinda’s seatbelt for her.

Seizing the moment, Lucinda gave Nathan a quick ki*s on the cheek.

“Honey, you’re making me spoiled.

If you ever decide to part ways with me someday, I’m not sure how I can manage,” Lucinda said.

Nathan gently cupped Lucinda’s cheek with one hand and leaned in to taste the sweetness of her lips with a ki*s.

“Then I’ll never leave you.

My love is solely for you.

Nobody can take you away from me,” Nathan replied.

“And what about Destinee?” Lucinda inquired.

“They say a daughter is her father’s sweetheart from a past life.

So, you won’t spoil her, huh?”

Nathan’s expression remained constant, always brimming with tenderness whenever he gazed at Lucinda.

“Destinee has Colby now.

So, the responsibility of spoiling and looking after her is officially passed on to Colby.

”

Everything was falling into place just right.

Lucinda nodded, content with the arrangement.

After sharing a few more sweet moments, Nathan returned to the driver’s seat, buckled up, and drove off carefully.

The luxurious car soon returned to the Payne family estate’s garage.
