Now, with no powerful backers, who else could be helping her?

Lucinda couldn’t be sure if the woman she saw was truly Valerie.

With a deep sigh, she gazed out of the window into the dimly lit street.

“It means nothing.

In as much as she doesn’t reappear and doesn’t harm my kids, she’s dead to me.

Nathan held her hand tightly to console her.

However, Lucinda paid no attention to him.

Her thoughts remained fixed on the mysterious woman.

She didn’t even cast a glance in his direction.

“Well, Lucinda, it’s fruitless to dwell on that woman.

We’ll discover her identity once Abel completes the investigation.

Colby and Destinee will be safe at home.

Please, don’t be worried,” he tried to console her.

Lucinda responded absent-mindedly.

He let out a sigh and softened his tone.

“Honey, I only joined the party after I had finished my duties at the National Security Bureau.

I’ve been so obedient to you.

Don’t you think you should offer me a little ‘reward’ once we return home?”

Lucinda shot a brief look in his direction.

“I’m not in the mood for that.

Nathan felt hurt.

“Honey, have I lost my appeal? Can I no longer bring you ‘happiness’? Am I

unable to arouse your interest anymore?

Have you stopped caring about me?”

He was terrified and sad as he expressed his concerns.

“Honey, you’ve changed.

It feels like you no longer love me.

Lucinda found herself at a loss for words.

She was unsure of how to respond.

“Honey, what have I done wrong? I’m willing to make changes for you,” he pressed.

Again, she struggled to find words.

Summoning her resolve, she glanced at him.

“No, I’m simply too exhausted.

I don’t wish to exert myself too much tonight.

After a full day of work and a dinner party, she just wanted to take a shower and get some rest.

However, Nathan held a different perspective.

“You just need to relax in bed.

I’m more than capable of taking the lead.

Trust me, I can make this a fantastic night for you,” he assured her.

She was left momentarily speechless.

Should she compliment him on being considerate in bed?

She didn’t respond, but with his distraction, she found herself less preoccupied with her earlier thoughts about Valerie.

Indeed, it turned out to be a wonderful night for both of them.
