âStop moving.
Iâm recharging.
â
Nathan, who had been keen to shower his wife with ki*ses, fell silent.
She didnât even let him ki*s her.
How strict she was!
Things had settled perfectly during their trip back to Forden.
Hilliard had decided not to leave.
He insisted on staying at the Turner Group as Jenniferâs secretary because he wanted to be by her side until marriage.
He had never fallen quite as hard for anyone else before, and he was hell bent on loving Jennifer right.
There was no reason for Lucinda to stop him.
On the flight back, Lucinda rested her head on Nathanâs shoulder, gazing at the clouds outside.
Her mind wandered to all the weddings they might have to attend not long from now.
âLooks like Sonny and Luisa will announce their engagement in a few days.
Hilliard and Jennifer are getting married next month.
Thereâs no news from Cyrus and Noelle.
I wonder how they are doing.
Cyrus isnât as slow as Hilliard, though.
I hope heâs managed to win Noelleâs heart again.
â
Nathan gently tapped her nose with his finger and said, âItâs their relationship.
They can handle it themselves.
â
Lucinda nodded thoughtfully.
She couldnât help but feel a pang of sorrow.
If it werenât for the drug Mekhi had injected into Noelle, she wouldnât have suffered a mental breakdown, forgotten the past four years, and lost all memory of Cyrus.
Had none of this happened, they would Likely be married by now.
âThere are so many things to handle lately.
I havenât checked in on Noelleâs game club for a while.
I heard the international finals are happening.
When we get back, I want to find some time to visit,â
Lucinda mused aloud.
Nathan looked at her with mild surprise.
âHoney, are you actually telling me about your work schedule?â
Lucinda paused a moment before responding with a playful tone, âEven though your opinion wonât change my plans, I still want to respect my husbandâs input.
â
Nathan was lost for words and just smiling at her teasing.
As the sun began to rise, a soft red glow lit up the sky, casting a rosy hue on the clouds.
Pointing to a particularly vibrant, round red cloud, Lucinda remarked, âHoney, look at that cloud.
Doesnât it remind you of the color I gave you last night?â
Nathan was momentarily stunned.
He turned to look in the direction of her finger and then replied seriously, âA little bit, but the color you gave me is even redder than this.
â
Lucinda giggled, the memory of their sweet night making her blush.
She leaned in and ki*sed him on the lips.
âI only wish to have you for the rest of my life, and for Colby and Destinee to always stay healthy.
â
Nathan hugged her tightly and ki*sed her back.
âOf course your wish will come true.
â
After a few hours, their flight landed, and Lucinda and Nathan arrived at Stastle.
As they walked through the VIP passage of the airport, Lucindaâs phone rang.
It was Kyson.
She noticed she had missed ten calls from him while her phone was in flight mode.
