Nathan remained silent and trembled.
Could he bear the consequences of his actions?
He stood his ground.
“Honey, I paid off your staff to ensure your safety when you’re not with me.
They’re loyal because I’m your husband, and they know I won’t cause you any harm.
”
With a serious expression, Lucinda paid close attention to his words.
“You just said ‘they’? The spies are more than one? How many are there in total at Angle Intl? Do you also have spies in Simmons Group?”
Nathan fell silent.
He didn’t know how to respond.
What should he do now?
Looked like he had revealed too much.
Seeing him silent, Lucinda knew he was trying toe up with a lie.
She continued pinching his face in frustration.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
“Ouch…” Nathan winced in pain and took a deep breath.
“Honey, be gentle.
If you keep pinching me, my face will get swollen.
”
She released him angrily and pinched his waist hard.
“You will write down their names when we get home.
Don’t try to deceive me.
Severe punishment awaits if you don’t say the truth.
”
“Calm down.
” He didn’t dodge.
Instead, he held her waist and braced against her arm.
“Don’t be mad.
Do you want ginger tea? I can make you some when we get home.
”
Seeing hispliance, Lucinda’s anger began to dissipate.
She looked down at her belly and said, “My stomach is aching.
Rub it for me.
”
“Alright, my dear wife.
”
As long as he could avoid getting some beating, he was willing to do anything for her.
Nathan promptly straightened up and gently rubbed her belly.
Lucinda giggled and taunted, “You know I like it when you are obedient.
Don’t be so suspicious of me.
Give me some credit!”
He shook his head and responded, “It’s not that I doubt you.
It’s just that your beauty makes me wary of those men outside.
”
s!
A sigh escaped Lucinda’s lips.
It seemed impossible to change his mind.
