Chapter 688
She came with the young and lively Sally.
Sally looked around the property, all while clinging to Lucinda’s arm like a spoiled child.
“I never expected you to live in such a luxurious mansion! I was right to come! Now, if you could just extend my stay for a few additional days…”
“No,” Lucinda said in a stern voice.
“You may only stay for three days.
Once the time is up, my men will gather your belongings and send you to the airport.

Sally pouted her lips and huffed.
“How heartless of you!”
“Behave,” Lucinda said in a softer tone.
“You can’t make any more trouble like you did today.
Since you want to stay over, you’ll have to keep yourself in line, do you understand?”
“Okay!”
The two women entered the villa arm in arm, laughing at their jokes.
As soon as they stepped into the foyer, the inviting smell of delicious food wafted over.
Lucinda reflexively turned toward the kitchen.
Hadn’t she asked the man to get a proper rest before she left? Why did he get out of bed and cook?
Nathaniel, on the other hand, had heard the sound of the front door opening, and came out of the kitchen to greet the woman of the house.
Lucinda immediately noticed that he had changed into a black shirt, with the first two buttons opened, revealing his collarbone.

In short, Nathaniel looked rather breathtaking.

More importantly, he looked much better than when she had last seen him.
“Why aren’t you wearing a jacket? Have you taken your cold medicine?”
Lucinda’s tone was as cold as ever, but the first thing she said as soon as she came back were words of concern.
Nathaniel felt warm in his chest.
“You said you wanted to check my injuries tonight, so I thought it would be better not to wear an extra layer of clothing.
”
He turned around and pulled his shirt up a little as he spoke, revealing his bandaged back.
“I did get a slight injury during the day, but as you can see, I’ve already applied medicine and bandaged myself up.
”
Lucinda said nothing.
Meanwhile, Sally had been staring at Nathaniel’s face the entire time.
