Nathan’s breath grew heavy.


    “In times like these, I need to guard against whatever Norton might say.


    I don’t want to hear it.


    It’s best that I keep my distance from him.


    Out of sight, out of mind.


    ”


    Lucinda suppressed augh.


    “Well, you’re bing more honest with metely.


    That’s nice.


    ”


    Nathan’s thin lips curved into a smile as he tightened his grip around her waist.


    They were right at the door of his office, intimately clinging to each other.


    “It’s mainly because of your training.


    The ruler and whip at home are the most lethal weapons against me.


    It’s terrifying just to think about them.


    I have to be honest,” he whispered in her ear.


    Lucinda poked him in the head.


    “Don’t be so chatty.


    You’re not afraid of the punishment at all when you make mistakes.


    ”


    They yed around for a while, like a young couple in the throes of passion, never tiring of each other’spany.


    After having dinner together at the National Security Bureau’s cafeteria, they returned to the Paynes’ house.


    Nathan escorted Lucinda only up to the corner, fifty meters from Norton’s mansion gate.


    He didn’t want to go all the way to the gate and risk being seen by Kern and the guards, which could lead to unnecessary trouble.


    Patiently waiting in the alley, he let Lucinda go to bring the kids back.


    An hourter…


    Lucinda held Destinee while Zenia carried Colby.


    Abel and Rickey helped carry bags of baby items as they left Norton’s mansion together.


    When Lucinda approached, Nathan reached out and took little Destinee from her.


    He soothed the baby and asked, “Why did it take so long? Did something happen along the way?”From N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucinda had a solemn expression on her face.


    “I could tell that Norton is really sick.


    He hasn’t been able to get out of bed since he went to his room for a nap at noon.


    They have not determined what could be wrong with him.


    But he is not in good shape.


    ”


    Nathan pursed his lips, lowering his gaze and staying silent.


    He cuddled Destinee in his arms.


    Lucinda continued, “I went to Norton’s room to check on him before I took the kids.


    He is sick, I can confirm that.


    ”


    Nathan remained nonchnt.


    “Maybe he is aware that I’m targeting Mylo.


    He could be sick because he is worried for Mylo.


    ”


    Lucinda was speechless.


    Nathan held Destinee with one hand and reached out to Lucinda with the other.


    He embraced her and said, “It’ste now.


    Let’s head back and take the kids to bed.


    ”


    Lucinda agreed, Letting him wrap his arm around her shoulder as they headed towards N&L Fairy Land.


    After walking a short distance, Nathan gave instructions to Abel.


    “Norton’s age is catching up to his health.


    Pick half of the elite doctors from the medical team of the Payne family and send them over to Norton’s mansion tomorrow.


    They’ll serve as his family’s doctors whenever needed.


    Kern should arrange for their amodation.


    ”


    Abel replied, “Yes, Mr.


    Payne.


    I’ll be sure to do as you have said.
