Nathan hurried to catch up with her and reached out to hold her hand.


    “Honey, you and Uma have been friends since you were kids, so I really want to hear what you think.


    ”


    Lucinda seemed puzzled as she replied, “Do my thoughts even make a difference? This involves the Payne family.


    You’re the one who leads, and I don’t want to overstep by meddling too much.


    ”


    “For me, your perspective is what matters most.


    How could it be meddling if my wife gets involved with the Payne family matters?”


    Nathan tightened his grip on her hand, feeling the warmth shared between their intertwined palms.


    Looking deep into her eyes, he said in a serious tone, “I understand that if I’m too brutal with Jeff and his family, you’ll be upset, won’t you? After all, you believe Jeff wasn’t significantly involved in my parents’ car ident, and that punishing Mylo was a sufficient warning.


    Honey, if you really feel that way, I’ll pull back the police from their door and cease pressuring Jeff any further.


    ”


    Lucinda absorbed his words in silence as her thoughts swirled.


    After pondering for some time, she stretched out her hand to check Nathan’s forehead for a fever.


    “Are you feeling unwell? You’re usually not one to make decisions so rashly.


    ”


    She found it ludicrous that he would base his actions regarding Jeff and his family solely on her opinion.


    She couldn’t shake off the feeling that her husband came across like an entirely different man.

    Nathan dropped his head further and with a gentle but firm grip, he pulled Lucinda tightly into his embrace.


    Nathan held Lucinda close and pressed his face into the curve of her neck.


    He was carefully concealing his reddened eyes that hinted at his gloomy mood.


    He breathed deeply, findingfort in the familiar scent of his wife.


    “Honey, what’s wrong with you?” Lucinda sensed that he was behaving unusually today.


    Nathan kept his head buried in her neck.


    His voice sounded hoarse and muffled.


    “I’m not sick, I just realize you’re the only one in this world who truly has my back.


    I want to show you, without holding back, how much I love you.


    ”


    He remembered the time he was critically ill with the $404 Virus.


    Lucinda didn’t give up on him.


    Despite being pregnant, she traveled to Eurfrica to get him the medicine, and even had to deal with Kyson in the process.


    In fact, he felt a twinge of fear.


    He was terrified at the thought of Lucinda possibly betraying him or abandoning him one day.


    The idea was unbearable.


    He resolved to thoroughly pamper her so that she’d find it impossible to manage without him, ensuring she would always remain by his side.

    His grip around Lucinda’s waist tightened as if he hoped to merge her into his body.


    Feeling the pressure of his tight embrace, Lucinda struggled slightly for breath.


    But, she chose not to pull away.


    Instead, she gently stroked the back of his head, offering himfort and reassurance.


    She was taken aback by Nathan’s words.
