On her part, Lucinda didnât care one bit.
She wasnât the one suffering the embarrassment.
However, she couldnât help the tingle that went up her hand each time he swept his finger in her palm.
Tired of it, she wanted to take away her hand, but then she realized that there was a pattern with what he was doing.
He wasnât just drawing circles.
He seemed to be writing something.
Lucinda concentrated and tried to understand what he was writing, but she couldnât understand a single thing.
Dwayne coughed lightly and said, âLucinda, thereâs red wine that way.
Letâs go and have some.
â
âOkay.
â She withdrew her hand without hesitation and left with Dwayne without looking back.
It was as though Nathaniel hadnât been holding her seconds before.
The man watched her leave with a dejected sigh.
Now that Lucinda didnât understand what he was trying to tell her, he was certain that she would deal with him when they went back.
Tess stood in the same position and observed him in silence for a while.
Then she said, âYou have really changed a lot.
I remember how she used to chase you everyday in the past.
Who would have thought that you would become her servant after you guys divorced? I even heard that she tortured you to the extent that you ended up in the hospital.
I mean, how are you taking such shit from her?â
The dejected look on Nathanielâs face was instantly replaced by a cold one.
âItâs my life, and it has nothing to do with you!â

Tess smiled.
âYouâre right.
I shouldnât have asked that.
Iâm really curious though.
You used to like Eleanor very much, right? How did you feel when Lucinda sent her to jail?â
Tess went closer to him and put her fingers on his arm.
âYou know, I can help you get rid of Lucinda very quickly.
You just.
.
â
Nathaniel grabbed her hand roughly, making her swallow her words.
Then he glared at her and warned, âI have always been cruel and I donât care for family.
So if you dare cause any trouble for Lucinda, you will pay the full price.
â
Tess broke free from his grip and continued stubbornly, âDonât you want to see if she will be jealous?â
Nathaniel frowned, not Liking the sound of that.
Before he could say anything though, some women in the hall screamed.
âWho is that? Why is she lying here with wounds all over her body?â
