Pushing them aside, Nathaniel growled, “I can’t ept the punishment.


    You just want me to leave, right? Fine, I’ll go!” He turned around and stormed out of the vi without looking back.


    His eyes were slightly red with anger.


    Leon and Conor were left in shock.


    “What…?”


    “Leave him be.


    ” “Are you sure?”


    “Yes, I’m sure.


    ”


    “Understood, ma’am.


    ”


    Lucinda and Kyson were left alone as the two bodyguards departed.


    “Finally, that nuisance is gone,” Kyson said as he poured a ss of wine for Lucinda.


    “I’m so grateful that you stood up for me.


    ”


    Lucinda tried to hide the coldness she had shown during her argument with Nathaniel and showed him a gentle smile.


    “Of course, he means nothing to mepared to you.


    You are the most important person in my life,” she said, raising her ss.


    “Let’s forget about that unpleasant episode and enjoy a good drink.


    ”


    They clinked their sses together before Lucinda quickly drank hers without hesitation.


    Kyson sniffed the wine in his ss and swirled it around, but didn’t drink it yet.


    He looked at the dark red liquid in the ss and smiled.


    “I remember thest time we were at a bar together, you seemed to like him a lot and were very close to him.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    It made me quite upset,”


    Kyson said, his tone bing more serious.


    He looked into her eyes and continued, “And now he’s gotten hurt defending you.


    You should have showed him more appreciation instead of making him angry by defending me tonight.


    Why?”


    Lucinda was stunned.


    Kyson’s smile grew brighter as he asked, “Are you perhaps just putting on a show for me?”


    Lucinda stared at Kyson in disbelief.


    She sounded a little sad when she asked, “You don’t believe me?”


    Kyson chuckled.
