While he longed to see her in those outfits, he knew they had to proceed with caution.


    Lucinda had only just begun to show signs of improvement.


    Engaging in strenuous activities could jeopardize her health.


    It was better to exercise patience and prioritize her well-being for now.


    Given the circumstances, it was wiser to hold off on that for now.


    Disappointed by the refusal, Lucinda pouted slightly before rising from the bed and heading to the bathroom to freshen up and apply her makeup.


    Despite feeling a bit disappointed, she understood that Nathan’s decision was made with her well-being in mind.


    After breakfast, the two of them walked hand in hand to the Payne family’s garage.


    Nathan suggested driving Lucinda to the Simmons Group, but she declined.


    “I have other ns today.


    I’ll be leaving Simmons Group this afternoon, so I need to drive myself.


    ”


    Understanding that Lucinda had her own agenda to attend to, Nathan respected her decision without protest.


    They parted ways in the garage, each driving their own Luxury car away from the Payne family residence.


    In the afternoon, as the clock struck the appointed hour, N promptly arrived at Simmons Group.


    Interrupting her workflow, Lucinda ceased typing, her attention fully on N.


    “Miss Diaz, if you would be so kind as to apany me, there’s a destination I wish to show you.


    ”


    With decisive motions, Lucinda rose from her chair, her manicured fingers grasping her designer bag.


    Curious, N inquired, “And where might that be, Ms.


    Simmons?”


    With an enigmatic smile, Lucinda replied nonchntly, “You’ll know.


    ”


    They strode towards the elevator in synchronized steps.


    The elevator doors slid open


    soundlessly, and they entered, the metallic enclosure enveloping them in a cocoon of quiet anticipation.


    Minutester, they emerged into the spacious garage.


    Lucinda gestured towards one of the vehicles, and N settled into the passenger seat, her gaze fixed on Lucinda as she assumed the role of driver.


    Half an hourter, the two arrived at Peace Mountain, which belonged to the esteemed Simmons family.


    As they approached, N leaned against the car window, her eyes scanning the serenendscape surrounding them, culminating in the solitary vi perched atop the winding mountain road.


    “Where are we? This mountain is so beautiful.


    I’ve never been here before,” N remarked, her curiosity piqued by the picturesque scenery.


    Lucinda navigated the car with practiced ease, her focus on the road ahead as she responded, “Miss Diaz, do you find this ce appealing?”N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    N gazed intently at the old vi atop the hill, once the residence of Atticus.


    “Yes, I like it very much.


    ”


    After only a few nces, N quickly looked away from the vi and continued to admire the scenery along the road.


    While driving, Lucinda borated, “This is Peace Mountain, named by my mother.


    The entire mountain was acquired by my family.


    Each vi is inhabited by members of the Simmons family.


    ”


    N eximed, “Miss Simmons, your family is truly the wealthiest in Cadiered.


    To have purchased the entire mountain is quite impressive.
