Chapter 1024

    “I’m afraid the fault lies with us this time.


    Allow me to propose a toast to you allter, as a gesture of apology and gratitude for your patience.


    ”


    “Thank you, Mr.


    Hernandez.


    You are too kind.


    ”


    The girls bobbed their heads and giggled among themselves.


    They seemed to have taken a shine to Brinleigh.


    Noelle was the only exception, though.


    As for Lucinda, now that the young master of the house hade and intervened, she felt that she could finally be at ease.


    She turned on her heel and left the scene.


    Without missing a beat, Brinleigh followed silently behind her and eventually sidled up next to her.


    “Hello, Lucinda.


    I’m happy to be able to talk to you in private for a little while.


    ”


    Lucinda ignored him and quickened her pace.


    The vi was massive, and the corridor was wide and quiet.


    The only sound that broke through the space was the hurried cking of her heels against the floor.


    Brinleigh paused, took a deep, determined breath, and then strode forward with purpose.


    He sidestepped her and stood directly in her path.


    “Lucinda, I swear, this would be thest time that I pester you.


    I just need some closure.


    Since you’ve rejected me so cruelly, the least you can do is to give me a reasonable exnation.


    I think I deserve that much.


    Apart from power and social standing, I am not so inferior to Nathan.


    I know that I am a decent man, of good character and an esteemed background.


    Why did you choose him instead of me?”


    Lucinda didn’t like being hounded at all, regardless of whether it was thest or only time.


    Besides, she had talked to Brinleigh about this countless times before.


    She would make him give up on her today, once and for alt.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “I don’t think you are inferior to Nathan in any way, at all.


    The problem is that I do not love you.


    And you do not love me,

    either.

    Lucinda crossed her arms over her chest and looked him straight in the eyes.


    “You know very well that your feelings of me are rooted in a deep sense of familiarity andfort.


    We grew up together, that’s all.


    You think your affection is love, but it isn’t.


    Even without Nathan in the picture, I still wouldn’t be with you.


    Now, if you keep badgering me about this, I don’t think we can even be friends anymore.


    ”


    Brinleigh stared at her with wide, dazed eyes.


    He was frustrated to no end, but he had no words to deny or refute what she had just said.


    Her gazecked any semnce of sympathy, too.


    All he saw was cold indifference.


    Lucinda turned around and was about to leave when they heard a pattering of footsteps rapidly approaching them.


    A manservant appeared, and Lucinda recalled him to be part of the staff in charge of the main banquet hall.


    “Miss Simmons, Mr.


    Payne is looking for you! It seems that he has some urgent business with you.


    Please follow me.


    ”


    Lucinda froze for a moment and studied the servant.


    Then her eyes lit up.


    If Nathan did have something to tell her, there was no way he would send someone from the Hernandez family to get her.


    What was Melody nning this time?


    Interesting!


    Lucinda was curious to see what Melody had in store for her.


    She stered a smile on her face and turned to nce at Brinleigh, who was still looking glum and dejected.
