    “Why did you pretend to be in pain in front of Violeta? Is it because you know you’re almost healed and that it’s time for me to go back to my family?” Lucinda pinched his earlobe harder.


    Nathan whimpered in agony but did not try to escape from her grasp.


    “I’m getting better but not quite there yet.


    Because of the injury that I got when your brother hit me, I need to take at least a month off of work.


    I took the blow for you to protect you, remember?


    Shouldn’t you be taking care of me instead of abusing me?”


    Lucinda huffed in disbelief.


    How dare he make such a sanctimonious justification for his behaviour?


    For a while, Lucinda could not say anything.


    Nathan continued, “I’ve sent Sonny to pack up your stuff from your father’s vi.


    You’re my fiancee.


    I don’t see any problem with you living with me.


    Your father certainly won’t object to it.


    Your brothers might, but it’s not like they can do anything about it.

    “Already? It seems like I underestimated you, Nathan.

    Infuriated, Lucinda released her grip on him and turned to look out the window.


    Violeta was right.


    Nathan was too smart.

    She had made up her mind.


    Once he was feeling better, she would give him a big “surprise.

    She had to vent her anger on something, or she would explode.


    And so, it was decided that Lucinda would move in with Nathan from then on.


    Her bodyguards, including Abel and Rickey, were brought to the vi along with her stuff.


    The days passed by quickly.


    Lucinda continued to take care of Nathan while she worked from thefort of his home, with the help of Vivian.


    Nathan did a lot of his work from home, too.


    Sonny was given full responsibility for the Payne Group’s activities, but Nathan had to be there in person at the monthly board meetings.


    At the moment, in the living room, Lucinda was lounging on the sofa, ying games on her phone.


    Nathan was wearing a suit and tie.


    On the coffee table, he had set up hisptop for a video conference.


    On the other end of the line, Sonny was in the conference room with the board of directors.
