Because he did not attend the party, he had to accept his punishment.
As soon as he got home, he went straight to the ancestral temple.
Kern was waiting for him at the entrance when he arrived.
âMr.
Nathan, your grandfather said heâs not feeling well.
Please come with me.
â
Unthinkingly, Nathan followed Kern.
Kern abruptly stopped when they reached the guest room on the second floor and motioned for him to enter.
Nathan frowned.
âThis is not Grandpaâs room.
Why did you bring me here?â
âMr.
Payne was passing by this room when he suddenly felt sick, so he went inside to rest,â Kern replied coolly.
Nathan stared at him blankly.
It was obvious he did not believe the butler at all.
Kern gave him a pointed look.
âDo I look like I have the guts to joke about Mr.
Payne âs health? Heâs there.
Just go inside.
Heâll get mad if you donât.
â
With narrowed eyes, Nathan cautiously pushed the door open.
As soon as he took two steps inside the room, Kern shoved him in from behind before closing the door and locking it.
âWhat the hell, Kern? Open the door!â
Nathan pounded on the door multiple times, but no one responded to him.
It seemed Kern had left.

Heâs gone.
Your grandfather planned this because you were avoiding me.

That voice.

Nathan sucked in his breath and turned around.
Lucinda had her back to him as she sat on the couch near the window, sipping a glass of red wine.
His palms began sweating from nervousness as he wondered if she had gotten drunk again.
Would she treat him with the same tenderness she showed him two days ago?
âI believe you have some explaining to do.
Iâve never met you before, but you want to marry me.
I wanna know why.
â
Nathan gripped the doorknob in desperation.
