Taking a deep breath, Nathan worked to suppress his turbulent emotions and regain his composure.

He threw the ruined pen into the trash decisively.

He crumpled the ink-stained document and tossed it into the trash as well.

Then he opened a drawer, picked out a new, high-quality pen, filled it with ink, gathered his thoughts, and resumed writing.

His concentration was so intense that he failed to notice when someone quietly entered the room and locked the door.

Nathan was brought back to reality by the sound of a cup touching the table.

He glanced over and saw a freshly made cup of coffee.

Nathan frowned and asked sharply, “Who gave you permission to enter without knocking and just place coffee on my desk?”

As he spoke, he looked up and his eyes met the familiar eyes of the woman standing before him.

She had a faint smile on her face, but upon hearing his words, even that faded.

“So I need to report to you like one of your subordinates when I bring you coffee?” she asked, her voice tinged with irony.

Nathan was taken aback, and his stern expression softened immediately.

His tone changed to one of gentle inquiry.

“Honey, why are you here?”

Lucinda pursed her lips, clearly displeased, and replied, “As your wife, can’t I come to see you when you’re working late?”

“No, of course you can come anytime.

Nathan reached out, intending to draw her into his arms.

She reached forward as well, but instead of accepting his gesture, she tapped his hand lightly, expressing her frustration at his earlier rebuke.

Then, in a softer tone, she added, “I assumed you would be dining alone, seeming rather desolate, so I came to offer you some company.

Nathan quickly caught her wrist as she started to pull away and drew her into a close embrace, his affection evident as he nuzzled against her high, prominent nose.

“Honey, you are so kind.

Joy filled his heart, pushing aside the turmoil brought on by Mylo, Ronan, and the lingering questions about the car accident years ago.

Lucinda settled into his arms and glanced down at the document he was working on.

With a concerned expression, she smoothed the crease on his forehead and asked, “With your awareness, it’s impossible for you not to notice when I walked in.

You seem so troubled.

What’s on your mind?”

“It’s all about Ronan,” Nathan confessed.

He decided to tell her everything.

Though he didn’t want to worry her, keeping it to himself might make Lucinda feel excluded, potentially leading to misunderstandings.
