But five minutes had passed, and he was still not finished.
Sensing something was off, Lucinda gritted her teeth and threatened Nathan, âIf you ruin my make-up, Iâll cut off your hands!â
Nathan paused and withdrew his hand in fear.
Lucinda opened her eyes, shooting a look at Nathan before turning to examine her face in the mirror.
She let out a surprised snort as she saw that her eyebrows were expertly shaped.
She adjusted them slightly and was impressed with the result.
Nathan had quite the talent for makeup, something she never expected.
âI find it hard to believe that you know how to do makeup.
Who taught you that? Judging from your skillful techniques, you must have done this for other women before, right? Did you do Eleanorâs makeup too?â
Her tone was serious and her eyes grew cold as she spoke.
Nathan was stunned.
Why did she have to bring up Eleanor?
Lucindaâs anger grew as she continued, âAre you trying to find a way to lie to me again? Tell me, am I right?â
Nathan denied it immediately, attempting to prove his innocence.
âNo, I promise I havenât done makeup for anyone else.
I learned how to sketch while I was in the army, and I thought it was similar to drawing your eyebrows, so I gave it a try.
We agreed to leave the past behind us, why bring up someone irrelevant againâ¦?â
Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him and asked, âDo you feel guilty?â

Nathan shook his head.
âNo, I donât.
â
But the more he explained, the more she seemed to doubt him.
Her anger was palpable.
When it came to Eleanor, he was always wrong.
Thinking quickly, Nathan stood up and assumed a standard military posture by squatting in front of her.
âI swear, youâre the first and only woman Iâve ever helped with makeup,â he said, looking directly into her eyes with sincerity.
Lucinda stared at his handsome face and touched his cheek.
She couldnât help but remember all the lies he had told her before.
With a sudden pinch, she declared, âYouâre a sly one, Nathan.
Your schemes may work on others, but it wonât work on me.
Sooner or later, Iâd have to train you to be a devoted husband!â
