Chapter 2037

n the evening, Lucinda made her way back to N&L Fairy Land.

Nathan was absent from the National Security Bureau and appeared to have gone to the Paynes’ house.

Not wanting to trouble him to fetch her, Lucinda chose to drive back home on her own.

Upon returning home, Lucinda strolled through the garden and observed that only the study in the large villa remained illuminated.

She proceeded directly there.

The study door was ajar.

Nathan sat behind the desk, his gaze distant and unfocused, his face set in a grim expression as if weighed down by troubles.

Lucinda, puzzled by his demeanor, quietly entered the study and moved to stand behind him.

Completely absorbed in his thoughts, Nathan remained oblivious to her approach.

“Honey, what’s wrong with you? Is something bothering you?” Lucinda asked softly as she tenderly massaged his shoulders and neck with her delicate fingers.
