Chapter 2410
A dryness caught in his throat, stirring a restlessness within him.
He had known Lucinda for many years, and since they had parted ways in their youth, he had never touched her again.
When memories flooded back in the stillness of the night, no matter how much he longed to hold her, it was impossible-she was now Nathan’s wife.
Dulcie was the first since then that he had touched so closely.
He continued to gaze at his palm, lost in thought until the chime of a new email notification snapped him back to reality.
Reflecting on Dulcie’s job search, he sent a quick message to his assistant before diving back into his work.

Luisa had reached her Limit.
She smacked his forehead, exasperated.
“Enough with the dramatics.
It’s just makeup.
It’s not the end of the world.
”
Sonny fell silent, his face a picture of wounded pride.
“I’m a man.
Why do I need to wear colored contact lenses, draw on eyeliner, wear lipstick, and even put on fake eyelashes? It’s unbearable!”
Luisa rolled her eyes.
“You’re such a typical guy! You deserve to be single all your life.
”
Sonny grinned and wrapped an arm around her waist.
“Why bother finding a wife? I’ve already got one right here, and we’ve been married for almost two years.
”
Luisa huffed, saying, “You handled the wedding gifts yourself.
You manage our finances and somehow ended up keeping all the money to yourself.
You’re quite the businessman.
”
“Aren’t you the biggest winner here? I handle the finances, and you handle me.
Isn’t everything ultimately yours?”
“That makes sense.
” Luisa chuckled as she continued applying his makeup.
She had never considered divorce.
Now that she had married Sonny, she was committed to him for life!
Twenty minutes later, Luisa carefully finished the makeup application.
“Look! You’re already very handsome bare-faced, but with makeup, you’re absolutely stunning!” She handed him a mirror.
Sonny looked at his reflection.
The face staring back wore a wig with twin ponytails draped behind the ears.
The makeup was so meticulously applied it rendered his pores invisible and his complexion radiant.
Enhanced by fake eyelashes and eyeliner, his eyes looked larger than usual.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
His lips, coated in glossy lipstick, pouted slightly, conveying both allure and innocence.
He stared in disbelief.
