Natalie froze for a moment. When she finally realized what he meant, she asked, “Lucian… What could you possibly lack? What can I possibly do to thank you?”
She didn’t expect Lucian to put her on the spot like that.
For a second, she felt tricked. She thought Lucian was different from Rowan. After all, one of them was bright and cheery while the other was cold and emotionless.
But now, by the looks of it, there didn’t seem to be any difference between the men of the Payne family.
“You can cook, right? Why don’t you make us dinner?” Lucian suggested.
Natalie blinked. She was good at cooking. After all, she had been cooking for Rowan for seven years.
Sarah wanted to spend some more time with the puppy, so she urged Natalie to start cooking. That way, they wouldn’t be in a hurry to leave.
There were many ingredients in the fridge, and everything was fresh. It didn’t feel like Lucian only stayed here on some
occasions.
“What would you like to eat?” Natalie asked Lucian as she stood in the open kitchen.
He was on the couch in the living room, keeping Sarah company as they played with the puppy.
“I’ll eat anything you make. I’m not picky at all, remember?”
Lucian was leaning sideways, one arm propped on the couch. He rested his chin on his hand as he gazed at the figure in the
kitchen.
Meanwhile, in another luxurious villa, the storm raged outside.
Inside the master bedroom, a man and a woman tangled together beneath the covers. Soft, suggestive sounds filled the room.
Imogen wrapped her arms around Rowan’s strong waist. As they moved together, her long, slender nails left faint scratch
marks on Rowan’s skin.
She smiled in ecstasy, her laughter mingling with the sounds of Rowan kissing her skin.
Rowan had finally divorced Natalie. From now on, she would be the lady of this house and the wife of the future head of
Payne Group.
Suddenly, rushed knocks sounded on the door, interrupting their moment. Rowan got off Imogen and grabbed the blanket nearby to cover their bodies.
“Daddy…” Roger opened the door to the room and walked in. He was sobbing pitifully.
“What is it this time?” Rowan sat on the bed, frowning in extreme displeasure as he stared at his son’s small figure.
Around ten minutes ago, Roger had already entered the room once. He said that he was scared of the thunder, and he wanted to sleep with Rowan and Imogen.
Rowan had said that he was a big boy now, and big boys didn’t sleep with their parents. It was only then that the kid went back to his room, still crying.
If Roger kept this up, it would affect Rowan’s performance in bed.
“My teeth hurt… It hurts! It hurts so much…” Roger was covering his cheek with his tiny hand. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t stop crying.

“I’ve already brushed my teeth before going to bed, but it still hurts… Daddy, I can’t stand it anymore.” Roger continued
wailing.
“Just get Pamela!” Having been interrupted twice that night, Imogen looked quite annoyed as well.
“Wait outside,” Rowan said to Roger.
After Roger went out, Rowan grabbed his pants off the floor and put them back on. Then, he went downstairs and called for Pamela.
Pamela couldn’t do anything about Roger’s toothache either.
“What did you eat earlier, Mr. Roger?” Pamela asked carefully.
“I ate the same things Daddy ate,” Roger answered through tears.
“Chocolate cake…” Rowan suddenly remembered Natalie saying that Roger shouldn’t eat too many sweets. “You ate the whole cake?”
“Yes.” Roger nodded.
“Call Natalie. Ask her where she put the medicine for Roger’s toothache,” Roger ordered Pamela
