Allowing the kids some time with Lucinda, Nathan whispered softly, Alright.

Mommy is very tired now.

Its time to be good, and let her rest.

Reluctantly, the two kids obeyed Nathan and released their hold on Lucinda.

They settled down, intending to let their mommy relax.

Gazing at her two precious children, Lucinda felt a warmth spread through her.

She kissed each of their foreheads tenderly.

I dont feel tired when I hug you.

I really enjoy it, Lucinda said affectionately.

The two kids smiled joyfully and moved closer to her once more.

The warm atmosphere among them made Nathan, who just interrupted their moment, feel like a bad guy.

Nathan looked at them, feeling a twinge of displeasure.

He sensed that to Lucinda, the kids were more important than him.

He felt a pang of jealousy.

He knew Lucinda wouldnt approve if he showed jealousy toward their kids, so he suppressed his feelings and glanced at his watch.

It was time to get to work.

Before leaving, Nathan reiterated, Colby, take care of your mommy.

Shell be in the lab with you two tonight.

Dont tire her out.

Destinee, if your mommy wants water and fruits later, please help her get them, okay? Understood, the two kids answered simultaneously.

..

Library As Nathan prepared to leave, Lucinda turned to him, gazing into his eyes.

Take care of yourself and get enough rest.

Call me if you need anything.

And please, dont smoke, she urged gently.

Smoke? He had recently been punished and still felt a lingering pain.

How could he dare smoke again? Nathan sighed with resignation and gave Lucinda a reassuring look.

As soon as Nathan departed, the two children clung to Lucinda, refusing to let go.

Mommy! Mommy! How did Daddy find you? asked Destinee, blinking her large eyes.

Colby added, Dad said you went back to the Simmons family to handle some business.

But I overheard Dad and Uncle Sonny talking that day and realized you were missing.

Upon hearing this, another crucial matter suddenly occurred to Destinee.

Well, she resolved to expose Daddys actions! Mommy, Daddy went too far.

He didnt visit us for many days.

Colby and I caught him smoking in his office once! He even drank! Daddy wasnt good! Mommy, punish him! Lucinda was left speechless.

She giggled and pinched Destinees cheek.

If your dad hears your complaint, hell punish you first.

Destinees expression changed.

She snuggled closer to Lucinda and said, Im not afraid! Im not! Mommy will protect me.

Daddy cant touch me.

Hes the one who needs to learn a lesson!
