The rest of his life?
Lucinda raised her eyebrows and chuckled maliciously.
âSo youâd be fine if I married another man?â
Nathaniel froze and his face instantly turned pale.
Seeing his reaction, she sneered, let go of his chin, and turned around to leave.
âWho knows whatâll happen in the future? Letâs just see if you can even hold on for just one year.
â
Nathaniel didnât move for a long time.
He was left alone, kneeling on the floor, mulling over what she had just said.
Could he really bear to see her being intimate with another man every day for the rest of his life?
No! He couldnât!
Gradually, he arrived at a conclusion: actions spoke louder than words.
Since Lucinda didnât believe him, heâd have to prove it to her!
So he cleaned up the table and then went back to his room to take a shower.
As soon as he took off his pants, a couple of things suddenly fell out of his pocket.
He bent down to pick them up and found that they were bags of sugar for coffee.
He didnât think too much of it.
Maybe he had slipped them into his pocket when he made coffee earlier, so he casually placed them on the bedside table and went to take a shower.
Afterwards, he came out of the bathroom in a robe, hair dripping wet.
As soon as he finished drying his hair, he heard Lucindaâs voice from upstairs.
âCome to the study, Nathaniel!â
He immediately got dressed and went upstairs.
When he opened the door to the study, he found Lucinda hard at work in front of the computer.
Because she had some wine, her face was flushed, which made her look particularly charming, but her eyes were completely clear and sober.
Seeing him by the door, she ordered, âMake me a cup of coffee.
â
It was so late in the night.
How could she drink coffee at this hour?
Frowning, he tried to dissuade her.
âYou drank wine tonight.
You should go to bed early.
Besides, drinking coffee at night is bad for your health.
