Chapter 749: Chapter 751

It was apparent that the Payne family was quite refined.

The understated decoration highlighted their tastes and grandeur.

Lucinda found the decor style to be quite pleasing.

Kern led the way until they arrived at Nathan’s villa door, which she followed.

After bringing her to the villa, Kern departed.

Lucinda settled onto the sofa in Nathan’s living room.

Eventually, a bodyguard hurried down the stairs and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Miss Simmons.

Master Nathan is currently occupied with business matters and cannot receive you at this time.

”

She frowned slightly at the news.

Despite her presence, no servant had even come to offer her a cup of tea.

The bodyguard’s message indicated a desire for her to leave.

It appeared that Nathan also had no intention of accepting the engagement.

Which was precisely what she had hoped for.

“It’s not an issue.

I have all day.

I can wait.

”

The bodyguard looked visibly nervous.

“Master Nathan’s schedule is full for the entire day,” the bodyguard suggested.

“Perhaps it would be better for you to visit him another day?”

Lucinda felt a twinge of dissatisfaction.

“I couldn’t possibly leave without seeing him since I’ve come all this way.

”

Suddenly standing up, she bypassed the bodyguard and began to ascend the stairs.

“Miss Simmons, you can’t disturb Master Nathan,” the bodyguard cautioned.

“Since Mr.

Payne decided last night that I am engaged to Nathan, why are you preventing me from speaking with my fiance?” Lucinda said, her tone cold.

The bodyguard denied, “I dare not.

”

“Then where is he?” she inquired.

“Master Nathan is currently in his study on the second floor.

Down the hall and the innermost room,” the bodyguard informed her.

“I see,” Lucinda murmured as she turned and began walking towards the room.

It was simple to locate Nathan’s whereabouts due to the presence of guards stationed at the study’s entrance.

As she approached, the guards halted her progress once more.

“Miss Simmons, Master Nathan is busy at the moment, and you may not enter his study without permission.
