Clean up the yard and onlye in once you’re done,”


    Lucinda said and walked into the vi, mming the door shut after her.


    That door looked to him just like the huge gap between them that he couldn’t cross.


    He suddenly thought of what Kyson told him today.


    “You’re just a pet to her.


    If you obey her, you’ll be rewarded, and if you don’t, you’ll be punished.


    She no longer has any love for you.


    ”


    Nathaniel felt like he couldn’t breathe for a second.


    He gasped and grabbed his chest.


    The pain in his chest suddenly seemed unbearable.


    He lost thest hope he was holding onto.


    He was heartbroken and it hurt terribly.


    He leaned against the wall and grasped at his chest, trying to ease the severe pain.


    All he could think of was how sweet Lucinda was to him at the bar—all the things she did to him.


    He knew it was all for show, but at least it was something he could hang onto.


    “Why are you just standing there?”


    Lucinda’s voice suddenly came from behind.


    She had opened the door and was looking at him.


    Nathaniel lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, “I’ll go and clean it right now.


    ”


    Noticing that something was wrong with him, Lucinda approached him and lifted his chin.


    Thanks to the lighting through the door that was slightly ajar, she could see his face clearly.


    His eyes were wet, and his long curly eyshes kept fluttering.


    The sadness in his eyes was unimaginable.


    Lucinda was stunned by what she was seeing.


    Did he.

    Lucinda had known Nathaniel for a long time already, and although he usually pretended to be hurt and aggrieved to get her attention, it seemed very different this time.


    Was he really sad?


    She sighed helplessly and said in a soft tone, “I told you that we were just acting for Kyson.


    Why did you go and take everything to heart?”
