Worse, he had pushed her away himself.
His heart ached with regret.
He raised his head again and called her name longingly.
âLucinda, Iâ¦â
âStop right there!â
The way he addressed her so intimately made her hair stand on end.
It just didnât sound right to her.
It was as though he had an ulterior motive whenever he talked to her like this.
Why couldnât he just speak normally?
âDonât say my name like that,â she said gruffly.
Lowering his head, he said in a low voice, âOkay.
â
Then he continued, âRecently, I finally realized how I truly felt about you and how wrong I was before.
It turns out that youâre the only one I love.
Our divorce⦠It was all my fault.
I was so stupid Before he could finish his words, Lucinda pinched his chin and forced him to look up at her.
Seeing the remorseful look on his face, she sneered inwardly.
This man was so good at acting!
âLet me guess.
Youâve figured it out and now you want to have s@x with me.
You really are your motherâs son!â she snorted.
Her eyes were filled with icy sarcasm.
Seeing this, Nathaniel felt sad.
He wasnât surprised that the bodyguards had relayed Amandaâs words to her, but he was a little taken aback that she thought heâd actually do something despicable like that.
âIâd never force you to do things you donât want to.
From now on, Iâll never lie to you.
Believe it or not, Iâll prove myself to you.
Iâll do whatever you want as long as you give me another chanceââ
âAnother chanceâ?â
Lucinda sneered bitterly.
âI will never get back with you, even if I was held at gunpoint!â
Nathaniel smiled bitterly.
He knew her well and he had already expected such a response, but he still didnât want to give up on her.
âI know I hurt you.
I know I donât deserve your forgiveness.
So let me serve you for the rest of my life to atone for my sins.
