Kyson turned to Lucinda, elated.
âLucinda, I know you care about me deep down, even if you donât want to admit it.
Letâs get along well with each other, okay?â he said in a cheery tone.
Lucinda glanced at Nathaniel and then noticed the final piece of the gun lying on the tea table.
In a flash, she found out that Kyson had just played a trick.
She gave him a cold, hard stare and said, âYouâre wrong, Kyson.
I simply donât want to see anyone get hurt.
If you had finished assembling the gun first, I would have also stopped you from killing him.
â
Kysonâs face slowly froze.
Lucinda then went on and said, âIf you should make me choose between you and Nathaniel, I will definitely choose him.
â
She knew that her contract with Nathaniel would only last for a year, and he had promised her that they wouldnât have any contact after that, since that was what she wanted.
She had recorded the conversation as evidence on her phone.
Kyson, on the other hand, was a different story.
His possessiveness and obsession towards her could cause her a lot of trouble if she didnât cut him off completely.
He was much harder to deal with than Nathaniel, and Lucinda knew it.
âLucinda, I know youâre still upset with meâ¦â
But she interrupted him.
âIâm not upset with you, Kyson.
It happened way too many years ago.
However, itâs impossible for us to be together.
â
She then turned to Nathaniel, smiled brightly at him and then beckoned him to come over.
âCome and sit on me.
â
Both men were shocked.
Staring at her beautiful eyes, Nathaniel slowly got up and walked towards her.
Lucinda pulled him close and guided him onto her lap.
Despite her petite size, she exuded a strong presence that commanded attention.
She looked at Nathaniel frivolously.
Nathaniel froze.
His heart raced and his mind went blank as he tried to predict her next move.
Did she really just suggest that he sit on her?
Lucinda noticed Nathanielâs confusion and looked at him with a playful expression.
She reached out and tenderly ran her fingers through his short hair, giving him a gentle smile.
Her voice was soft and captivating as she spoke to him.
