Lucinda remained undistracted by his antics, her gaze fixed on her game as she spoke.


    “So, no fooling around.


    Let’s just rx and stick to the n tonight.


    For our experiment, we have to abstain.


    ”


    Nathany on the bed, feeling increasingly despondent.


    He fiddled with his phone while Lucinda was engrossed in her video games, chatting away with Noelle through the game’s voice chat feature.


    Feeling left out, Nathan’s frustration grew.


    He scrolled through his contacts and sent a message to Cyrus.


    “Keep an eye on your fiancée.


    She’s monopolizing my quality time with Lucinda tonight.


    ”


    Cyrus was at a loss for words, and chose not to respond.


    “She’s hogging my Lucinda.


    Why don’t you turn off Noelle’s phone and let her get some sleep?” Nathan sent him another text.


    It took a few moments before Cyrus replied, “I don’t dare.


    I won’t risk upsetting a woman so deeply immersed in her activities.


    I don’t want to provoke her wrath.


    ”


    Nathan was speechless about Cyrus’ reply.


    He was upset that Cyrus couldn’t stop Noelle from ying her games.


    Then, another message came in.


    Cyrus added, “Don’t me me for not being able to stop Noelle.


    If you think you’re up to it, why don’t you convince Lucinda to stop gaming with Noelle?”


    Feeling a mix of annoyance and challenge, Nathan replied, “What if I manage that? What will you do?”


    Cyrus responded, “I’ll follow your lead and honor you as my mentor.


    How’s that?”


    “Just wait and see,” Nathan snorted, a determined look crossing his face.


    After putting down his phone, Nathan stood and walked over to the wardrobe, his movements deliberate.


    He mmed the wardrobe door louder than necessary to draw Lucinda’s attention and pulled out a whip.


    Lucinda, deeply absorbed in her game, didn’t even nce his way.


    Taking a deep breath, Nathan walked back to the bed with the whip in hand.


    The sight of the whip finally drew Lucinda’s gaze.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    She looked up to see Nathan holding the whip with a tortured expression on his face.


    Startled, Lucinda paused her game and took the whip from him.


    “What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”


    Nathan’s gaze bore into Lucinda, a storm of emotions churning within him.


    “I’m alright, but I can’t shake the thought of my wife spending time with others ying games after dinner, leaving me alone in bed.
