After listening attentively, Lucinda’s expression turned serious.


    “So, what are you nning to do now?”


    Nathan responded with a ki*s and said simply, “Wait.


    ”


    “Wait?”


    He nodded and gently touched her stomach.


    “Honey, are you hungry? I’ll ask the canteen to prepare something special.


    ”


    “No need.


    I just wanted to be with you.


    ”


    Hand in hand, they then headed to the canteen for dinner.


    Many officers looked on in surprise.


    It seemed that Nathan had not ordered food to his office.


    Instead, he took his wife to the canteen for dinner, holding her hand and appearing inseparable, prompting envious nces from bystanders.


    Did he do it on purpose?


    “Hello, Mr.


    Payne and Ms.


    Payne.


    ”


    As they passed by, all the male and female officers nodded respectfully to Nathan and Lucinda.


    Their eyes were filled with admiration.


    Lucinda responded with a charming smile.


    Her demeanor left a warm and amiable impression on everyone.


    While Lucinda appearedposed, she felt a hint of curiosity about Nathan’s decision.


    She had assumed they would simply pack up the food and enjoy it privately in Nathan’s office.


    However, Nathan chose to dine in the canteen, seemingly eager to disy their rtionship.


    Initially, Lucinda was hesitant to make such a public appearance in the National Security Bureau’s canteen, but noticing Nathan’s resolved expression, she was unsure of his intentions yet decided to go along with his ns.


    Nathan retrieved two portions of food for himself and Lucinda.


    Midway through, Nathan signaled to Fletcher, the leader of the ninth team, who was also getting his meal.


    He whispered something into his ear before returning to the table where Lucinda was already seated.


    He maintained a calm demeanor, but his eyes asionally scanned the police officers dining around them.


    The canteen’s food wasn’t particrly appetizing.


    It was worse than Nathan’s cooking.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Lucinda didn’t mind much.


    Dining here meant she could enjoy hispany rather than eating alone back at the vi, and that was worth thepromise.


    After Lucinda ate half of her meal, they exited the canteen together, hand in hand.
