Nathan hurried to catch up with her and reached out to hold her hand.
âHoney, you and Uma have been friends since you were kids, so I really want to hear what you think.
â
Lucinda seemed puzzled as she replied, âDo my thoughts even make a difference? This involves the Payne family.
Youâre the one who leads, and I donât want to overstep by meddling too much.
â
âFor me, your perspective is what matters most.
How could it be meddling if my wife gets involved with the Payne family matters?â
Nathan tightened his grip on her hand, feeling the warmth shared between their intertwined palms.
Looking deep into her eyes, he said in a serious tone, âI understand that if Iâm too brutal with Jeff and his family, youâll be upset, wonât you? After all, you believe Jeff wasnât significantly involved in my parentsâ car accident, and that punishing Mylo was a sufficient warning.
Honey, if you really feel that way, Iâll pull back the police from their door and cease pressuring Jeff any further.
â
Lucinda absorbed his words in silence as her thoughts swirled.
After pondering for some time, she stretched out her hand to check Nathanâs forehead for a fever.
âAre you feeling unwell? Youâre usually not one to make decisions so rashly.
â
She found it ludicrous that he would base his actions regarding Jeff and his family solely on her opinion.
She couldnât shake off the feeling that her husband came across like an entirely different man.

Nathan dropped his head further and with a gentle but firm grip, he pulled Lucinda tightly into his embrace.
Nathan held Lucinda close and pressed his face into the curve of her neck.
He was carefully concealing his reddened eyes that hinted at his gloomy mood.
He breathed deeply, finding comfort in the familiar scent of his wife.
âHoney, whatâs wrong with you?â Lucinda sensed that he was behaving unusually today.
Nathan kept his head buried in her neck.
His voice sounded hoarse and muffled.
âIâm not sick, I just realize youâre the only one in this world who truly has my back.
I want to show you, without holding back, how much I love you.
â
He remembered the time he was critically ill with the $404 Virus.
Lucinda didnât give up on him.
Despite being pregnant, she traveled to Eurfrica to get him the medicine, and even had to deal with Kyson in the process.
In fact, he felt a twinge of fear.
He was terrified at the thought of Lucinda possibly betraying him or abandoning him one day.
The idea was unbearable.
He resolved to thoroughly pamper her so that sheâd find it impossible to manage without him, ensuring she would always remain by his side.
Nathan was committed to this plan.
His grip around Lucindaâs waist tightened as if he hoped to merge her into his body.
Feeling the pressure of his tight embrace, Lucinda struggled slightly for breath.
But, she chose not to pull away.
Instead, she gently stroked the back of his head, offering him comfort and reassurance.
She was taken aback by Nathanâs words.
