Chapter 1868: Chapter 2082

The bathroom door creaked open.

Nathan leaned against the wall, lost in thought like he was weighing Norton’s terms.

“Honey, will you agree to Grandpa’s condition?” Lucinda inquired.

Nathan asked, “What would you do if you were calling the shot?”

Lucinda, mindful of Norton’s significance to Nathan, opted for compromise, even if Ronan had her detained at the police station for a couple of hours.

“Though Ronan nearly did Grandpa in, if Grandpa wants to keep it under wraps, I say we go easy on him.

Chances are Ronan’s bound to slip up again.

When he does, we’ll be there to catch him.

But first, we’ve got to unravel the truth behind your parents’ accident.

That’s the priority.

”

With clarity of mind, Lucinda continued, “But we can’t take Grandpa’s word as gospel.

With Mylo being detained here, we can also obtain his side of the story.

”

Nathan locked eyes with Lucinda, who was standing firm in front of the bathroom.

Under the glow of the ceiling light, her presence appeared charming.

Every word she spoke and every gesture she made tugged at his heartstrings.

Nathan closed the gap, enveloping her in his embrace.

“Honey, having you by my side is a stroke of Luck.

”

He dipped down, capturing her lips in a tender ki*s.

But what began as a ki*s soon ignited a firestorm of passion, their desires intermingling as he bit her lips gently.

Nathan struggled to contain his longing for her.

“Honey.

” His voice was husky with desire.

“Let’s have some intimate moments first.

Then we’ll go visit Mylo and head back to Grandpa.

”

“But…”

Before Lucinda could object, Nathan scooped her up, determination etched on his face.

Lucinda wrapped her legs around him, preventing a tumble.

She hesitated to be intimate with him.

“Honey, this is the National Security Bureau, your workplace.

”

“Yeah, but this is my office, and you’re my lovely lady!”

He planted a ki*s, but Lucinda pushed him away, wary of prying eyes.

“No, the door’s not locked…”

In a flash, Nathan secured the door, then gently set her on the desk.

He indulged her, his eyes brimming with passion.
