Nathan occasionally glanced her way, noticing her distant expression.

Frustrated, Nathan said, “Lucinda, what’s on your mind? You seem so distracted.

Are you worried about Kyson’s injuries?”

“What?” Lucinda snapped back to reality.

With a stern look, Nathan pressed, “Are you upset about Kyson getting hurt?”

“What are you implying?” Lucinda was perplexed.

“He’s Colby and Destinee’s godfather, and a relative of the Simmons family.

I didn’t want the situation to worsen.

She knew well that in any bet, there would be consequences, and those involved must accept the risks of injury.

She wasn’t one to indiscriminately show pity.

Moreover, Kyson was at fault.

Despite his previous help, he needed to face the repercussions for his actions regarding Colby.

But Nathan misunderstood her reaction, interpreting her tone as impatience.

Was she feeling guilty because his words were spot on?

“You’ve known Kyson Longer than you’ve known me.

He’s a childhood friend of yours and the kids’ godfather, so it’s understandable if you’re concerned about his injuries,” Nathan continued.

Lucinda’s mouth twitched in irritation.

“You don’t understand.

You’re being irrational.

Nathan fell silent.

With a stern glance, Lucinda said in a low voice, “You just brought up past issues in front of the kids.

Would you like it if I started discussing your past relationships in front of them?”

Nathan was speechless again.

His frustration eased.

“Lucinda, would it worry you if I were in a fight and got seriously hurt?”

Lucinda frowned and countered, “What do you think?”

Now she grasped the root of Nathan’s feelings.

“Do you think I’m concerned about Kyson and that’s making you jealous?”

Nathan remained silent, confirming Lucinda’s suspicions.

Lucinda sighed.

“Of course I’d be worried about you.

But I’ll ensure you never have the opportunity to get into a serious fight.

If you dare, I’ll be the first to break your Limbs.

Once again, Nathan found himself speechless.

It was the first time the children in the backseat witnessed a disagreement between their parents.

Destinee buried herself in Colby’s arms, too scared to make a sound.

To the little girl, Mommy seemed fiercer than Daddy, threatening even to intervene physically if necessary.

A tense silence filled the car.
