Removing the note, she looked at it closely.
It was a message from Nathan.
âIâve made breakfast for you before leaving, Lucinda.
Shrimp porridge and noodles are waiting.
Remember to eat before heading towards the island.
â
Why would Nathan bother cooking breakfast for her when he left so early?
How long had he slept? And when did he wake up?
Lucinda could sense her husbandâs meticulous care, which warmed her heart.
Leaving the basement, she made her way to the kitchen, where the aroma of shrimp porridge greeted her as expected.
The scent of the noodles was especially enticing, evoking a sense of gluttony just from the smell alone.
Opening the cupboard for bowls, she discovered another note tucked beside them.

âYou donât need to worry about washing the dishes after breakfast.
Iâll take care of the cleanup when I return in the evening.
There are still some fruits on the table that Iâve already washed.
Remember to eat them all and replenish your vitamins.
â
A smile spread across Lucindaâs face as she couldnât help but feel touched by Nathanâs thoughtfulness.
She leaned down to ki*s the note, silent
asual attire, noticing Sonny waiting for her at the gate of the N&L Fairy Land, clearly having been there for some time.
Together, they departed from the Paynesâ house and headed towards the small island by the sea.
News of their departure reached Graham immediately.
Lucindaâs plans to go to the island and bring back Nala were kept a secret from Graham and Violeta.
Graham knew about her plans from a message he received from an unknown number, though he had investigated it a few days prior.
Judging from the senderâs tone, he suspected it was Nala.
Before he left the room, Violeta halted him with a firm grip.
âLucinda can handle it herself.
Why are you involved in it? Convincing her to let go of Nala? Is that your intention, to bring her misery?â
Graham, perplexed, questioned, âWhy would you say that, dear? Lucinda is my sister.
Naturally, I want to assist her.
â
With a weary sigh, Violeta responded, âYour relationship with Lucinda has always been strained.
I fear your involvement might only complicate matters further.
â
In a strained tone, Graham deliberated, âToday, Lucinda ventured to the island solely with Sonny and his men.
Nathan didnât accompany her due to business obligations.
No matter his workload, he wouldnât neglect her Like this.
Something doesnât add up.
Especially since the information came from Valerie, who always has an agenda.
If Nathan isnât with Lucinda, I have to go.
It could be dangerous.
â
Violeta grasped the gravity of his words.
âIn that case, Iâll accompany you.
I promise to remain silent, no matter what.
Besides, your legs havenât fully recovered yet.
Itâs safer for me to assist you on this journey.
