“Did he search my room after I left?”


    “He changed the sheets for you and took the dirty ones to the backyard to hand wash them,” the man on the other end replied.


    “He is still on it.


    He’s having a hard time with the bed sheets, since it’s much heavier when wet.


    ”


    “Did he touch anything else in the room aside from the beddings?”


    The man paused, probably trying to recall the moment.


    “No, He just stood by the window and watch you leave, and then went straight to work.

    Lucinda pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes.


    She was gone from the vi.


    How could Nathaniel pass up such a good opportunity to snoop around?N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    When he had gone to fetch the first aid kit, she had clearly heard the bird chirps again.


    She could never figure out what his true intentions were, but his asional odd behavior was especially suspicious.


    Lucinda thought back to how Nathaniel had signed the agreement without much thought.


    Did he really just want to pay off his debt?


    After a brief pause, Lucinda continued, “Keep an eye on him.


    Conor, stay behind and guard the vi.


    I need you to keep a constant watch on him.


    Make sure he does the house chores and does his job well.


    ”


    “Yes, madam.


    ”


    Conor got out of the car.


    He watched the cars drive off toward Cyrus’ vi.


    Cyrus didn’t know that Lucinda had returned until the following morning when he saw her having breakfast in the dining room.


    He walked over to say hi, but then he realized she was holding the spoon in her left hand, and carefully avoided putting pressure on her right hand.


    Cyrus sat beside her and noticed the bandage on her right hand.


    “What happened to your hand?”


    Lucinda continued eating her porridge.


    “Nothing.


    A dog bit me.


    ”


    Cyrus felt distressed.


    “How dare a dog bite my beloved sister? I will avenge you.


    ”


    “Just a useless wolfhound.


    I’ll teach him a lesson myself.


    ”


    Cyrus was about to enquire further, but Lucinda had finished her breakfast.


    She put down the spoon and said, “Cyrus, I’m heading to the Roberts Group.


    I also have an appointment at Angle Intl this afternoon.


    I can’t stay.


    Just enjoy your breakfast on your own, okay?”
