Nana ate very cautiously.
"Do you like it?" John suddenly asked.
Nana looked unblinkingly at John before breaking into a wide smile and saying, "It's delicious. Everything is delicious. I like all the food here."
"Good." John nodded and did not say anything further.
Nana began feeling restless and eager to speak.
"Lucas, can we start anew?" Nana said, her eyes brimming with affection. "Just like how we were abroad. Back then, we were so deeply in love with each other."
John remained silent.
Nana went on. "I really don't mind your past with Cordy. Everyone has their pasts and emotional baggage. In fact, I'm so thankful that what happened between you and Cordy happened before we got married. Now that we're married, we'll focus on living happily ever after and forget everything in the past, okay?"
John stayed silent, and Nana reached out to hold his hand.
John looked at her.
Nana said, "As long as we start anew, I really can let bygones be bygones and really let Cordy off."
Really.
As long as Lucas was faithful and true to her, she could give up on killing Cordy.
She would do anything for him, as long as…
Nana's heartbeat quickened.
Her vision suddenly blurred and Lucas' face flashed before her eyes.
A bad feeling crept up her heart.
"Lucas… are you trying to kill me?" Nana croaked with much difficulty.
Her eyes turned red with fear as she glared viciously at the man before her.
She had humbled herself to such an extent, yet he wanted to kill her?!
John did not answer her.
The way he looked at her chilled her down to her bones.
Nana could no longer withstand it and fainted right in front of him.
Yes, he was going to declare war against the Lynds, with Nana as the trigger.
