Chapter 2157: Chapter 2371

Both adults were brooding.

After a moment, Nathan, grasping at straws, asked, “So, you just admitted you’re worried about Kyson?”

Lucinda was stunned.

She had tried to defuse the situation, yet he persisted.

What was he thinking?

“Nathan, are you stirring up trouble because it’s been too long since our last argument? How long do you want this to drag out? I can extend the conflict if that’s what you’re looking for.

”

Nathan remained quiet.

His posture stiffened as Lucinda fumed, but he eventually relented.

“Honey…” Nathan’s voice softened.

Lucinda turned away, staring out the window, unwilling to engage further.

Nathan occasionally glanced at her as he drove, realizing she was far from forgiving.

Seeing no signs of Lucinda calming down, Nathan braced himself for a difficult evening.

Considering the children were still in the car and not wanting to plead in front of them, Nathan maintained his silence.

They returned to the Payne residence in complete silence.

As the limo pulled into the garage and came to a stop, Lucinda swiftly got out, not waiting for Nathan.

Before Nathan could react, she walked toward N&L Fairy Land with the children.

Left behind, Nathan felt a profound sense of isolation.

Catching up quickly, Nathan found Lucinda and the kids.

Colby leaned against Lucinda, giving Nathan a cheeky grin.

“Since Daddy caused this fuss over nothing, and Mommy’s upset with him, how about he spends tonight in the study?” Colby said.

Hearing Colby’s suggestion, Destinee clung to Lucinda and planted a kiss on her.

She cheered, “Great! Mommy is all ours tonight!”

Nathan watched his two children smirking with amusement, a stern expression on his face.

His kids were clearly not on his side.

“You wish! If you think you can take my wife from me, think again,”

Nathan warned.

Destinee pouted and protested, “Daddy is mean.

He’s threatening us.

”

Colby just chuckled and said, “Daddy upset Mommy.

I know Mommy doesn’t care about Kyson, but Daddy still got jealous.

”

Destinee chimed in, “Daddy deserves a beating! In the butt! Humph!”
