This prestigious museum was Aldoria’s crowning jewel.


    The couple immersed themselves there for the entire afternoon.


    When Lucinda and Nathan exited, the horizon was painted with sunset hues.


    The dusk was creeping in.


    Lucinda looked up at the sky and then looked around.


    At that moment, she spotted Danilo standing next to the car.


    His girlfriend, N, was about to slide into the car.


    From where Lucinda stood, she could only nce at N’s high-heeled shoes and slim, graceful legs.


    N appeared to be a refined and gentle youngdy.


    Danilo didn’t rush to get into the car; instead, he turned around as if he had noticed Lucinda and Nathan standing by the museum’s entrance.


    Despite being over 40 years old with a beard, he retained his good looks.


    He gave Nathan a polite nod.


    Nathan nodded in reply.


    Observing the exchanged nces between the two men, Lucinda asked curiously, “Are you friends?”


    Watching Danilo’s fancy car depart from the museum, Nathan calmly stated, “We’re not friends; we’re just acquaintances.


    ”


    Lucinda wasn’t too curious about Danilo, so she didn’t probe further.


    She nodded, guiding Nathan into their vehicle.


    Once back at the hotel, she sprawled on the bed.


    Having spent the entire afternoon exploring the museum, she felt exhausted, and her feet were aching.


    Kneeling beside the bed, Nathan cradled her feet, beginning a gentle massage.


    He had a knack for it.


    Observing his intent expression, she grinned, “You don’t need to fuss over me like this.


    We could visit the spa for some professional massages and rxation.


    How does that sound?”


    Nathan’s expression remained stern.


    He gazed at her with seriousness and said, “No one is toy a hand on any part of your body except for me.


    If anyone tries, I’ll make sure they lose their hands.


    ”


    Every part of her body was his possession.


    He wouldn’t permit anyone else to make contact with her.


    Lucinda arched her eyebrows and grinned yfully.


    “What’s your n if I decide to be the one to reach out to another man?”


    He ceased rubbing her feet and locked eyes with her.


    “If you ever need to do that, I must have done something to upset you.


    If I’m not appealing enough to keep you, and you seek the touch of other men, I’ll take a long, hard look at myself, make amends, and do whatever it takes to win you back.


    ”


    Her heart fluttered at his response, and she caressed his striking face lovingly.


    “Nate, we’re on the same level.


    You don’t need to be so modest around me.


    ”


    She gently cradled his face with both hands and spoke earnestly.


    “I’ll never have feelings for another man.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    I won’t touch anyone else.
