âWhat do you want from me?â
Nathaniel stared at her and didnât hesitate to answer.
âI want an assistant.
â
Lucinda couldnât help but wonder if there was more to Nathanielâs request than what he was letting on.
She then asked, âWho?â
âSonny.
â
Sonny?
The name rang a bell.
âHow is he related to Flynn?â
âThey are both my men,â Nathaniel said, truthfully.
Lucinda rested her chin on her hand, propped her elbow on her knee and stared keenly at him.
She looked stunning in that pose.
Nathanielâs heart skipped a beat.
This woman⦠Did she even realize how gorgeous she looked right now?
Lost in thought, Nathaniel was snapped back to reality when Lucinda spoke up.
âI never would have guessed that you still have people willing to follow you in such a situation.
You probably still have some private property, right?â
Nathaniel had many secrets besides his private property, but he couldnât reveal them to her now.
He asked, beaming, âYou now care to know about my private property?
I donât really care about money.
If you want it, it would be yours.
â
Lucinda couldnât help but roll her eyes at him.
âI donât want your money.
I just find it interesting that you didnât do anything when you could buy back the Roberts mansion and give back to your mother and sister their comfortable life.
â
He hung his head low and muttered, âMy mother is a difficult woman and my sister is spoiled.
They both mistreated you, so this is my way of punishing them.
â
Lucinda was taken aback.
âIâm just your ex-wife, but theyâre your family.
How can you be so harsh on them?â
