Lucinda’s eyes became so cold that one could freeze if she looked at them too long.
Yes, she was very angry right now.
What was he doing here with Tess?
Didn’t he know how much Tess had hurt her?
Didn’t he know how much she hated Tess?
To make things worse, instead of staying back home doing the house chores as he should, he chose to attend this charity party with Tess.
Nathaniel could feel Lucinda’s angry gaze boring holes into him.
He suddenly became very nervous.
Now that Lucinda was obviously very angry, he couldn’t be bothered about Lucinda’s friendship with Dwayne because he had bigger problems to worry about.
He could already tell that he was going to have a hard time tonight.
Lucinda would make sure of it.
Angry with how they were staring at each other, Tess smiled and exined, “Nathaniel just really missed you and wanted to see you.
But since Mr.
Gordon was already your partner for tonight, he had toe with me.
Don’t be jealous, okay?”
Lucinda scoffed and said with a wry smile, “Miss Green, why exactly would I be jealous over such an insignificant person?”

Nathaniel felt a sharp pain in his heart when she said this.
His face instantly turned pale.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Nathaniel tried to keep how he felt aside, walked up to Lucinda and held her wrist gently in his hand.
“Lucinda, I’m still your man since the contract is still on-going.
I’m behaving very well today, but you can do as you like with me when we go back, okay? I will willingly take whatever punishment you give me,” he said in a not so low voice, his finger gently and consistently drawing lines on her palm.
Dwayne was shocked by what he was seeing.
How could the arrogant Nathaniel say something so humiliating in public?
Tess too was taken aback by the whole thing.
Who was this man before her?
What had happened to him? Where was proud the man she used to know?
However, Nathaniel kept drawing circles on Lucinda’s palm as though they were the only ones in the hall.
