At that thought, Nancy simmered down and looked at Lewis woefully. “Lewis, this is for your own

good-”

Lewis interrupted her before she could finish speaking, “Enough. I’ve heard enough of that.”

Standing up, he shifted his frosty gaze to Nancy. “If you’re really concerned about me, stop

meddling in my affairs. Be it Kiran or Robert, I’ll deal with them. You can stop fretting over them.”
