Caught in a daze, Nathaniel was snapped back to reality by Lucindaâs cold, disdainful sneer.
âSorry, Mr.
Roberts.
Youâre just not good enough to dance with me.
â
The people who passed by were taken aback by Lucindaâs words.
This woman was so full of herself!
How dare she say that Mr.
Nathaniel Roberts wasnât good enough!
Nathanielâs face turned dark.
His good mood was wrecked.
Despite this, he maintained his composure and put on a fake smile.
âCome on, itâs just a dance.
Are you scared?â
Lucindaâs face turned even darker.
Was he really trying to coerce her into consenting?
How shameless could he be? Didnât he understand what she had said earlier?
As their eyes met once again, the anger they both felt was palpable.
The tension in the air continued to grow so Cyrus stood up with a smile.
âLucinda is my date, so why do you want to take her away from me?â
He shoved Nathanielâs hand away in a fit of sulky anger and glanced sideways.
âYou better invite your lady friend instead.
You donât want her getting jealous.
â
But Nathaniel didnât budge.
Lucinda was getting irritated.
She muttered something to her brother and then left the scene for the hotel garden.

Initially, Nathaniel wanted to follow her, but Cyrus stopped him and urged him to mingle with the other guests.
He was stuck.
Although Eleanor and Vivien couldnât hear their conversation, they could see the way Nathaniel looked at Lucinda.
And it seemed he even wanted to dance with her!
Vivien gritted her teeth.
âThat bitch! Theyâre divorced, yet sheâs still clinging to my brother!â
Eleanor was so heartbroken that she began to cry.
âLucinda⦠She probably loves Nate a lot.
If he has also fallen in love with her during the three years they were married, I⦠Iâm willing to step aside so they can be together.
