She has just stepped out of the door with one foot, and Raymond suddenly calls out to her, "Nina, shouldn't we shake hands?"
At the moment, his palm has reached over to grasp Nina's hand lightly.
Uh? What's the etiquette of shaking hands to say goodbye? When Nina doesn't react yet, Raymond has let go of her hand and smiles softly, "Go back and go to bed early."
In the following SUV, the man's eyes suddenly become tightened.
From his point of view, Nina and Raymond's hands held together are just like lingering goodbye.
Nina gets out of the car inexplicably and goes upstairs.
Nina can't understand what it means, so she just let it go and thinks of this as a new form of etiquette.
Raymond drives away, full of satisfaction after the sudden action in his eyes. His fair and elegant face is filled with smiles and radiance.
Walking to the door, Nina opens the zipper of the bag and takes out the key. Just after opening the door, her arm is suddenly grabbed forcibly from behind.
"Nina! You've really made progress! You become very good at telling lies!" Lucien pulls her to turn to him, and he gnashes his teeth in anger and says it word by word, full of rage in his deep eyes.
Lucien? Why is he over here? Nina is very fretful.
"How do you know I live here?" Nina struggles to pull out her arm.
Lucien's powerful hand holds her slender arm like an iron tongs, which makes her unable to move. His voice is cold and mean, "I not only know that you live here, but also that your adulterer just left! It's strange that you didn't invite him in! How did you let him go? Don't you spend a night of mind-blowing and soul-shattering ecstasy together?"
Adulterer? Nina is completely enraged by Lucien!
She glares at him, "Lucien! You know! I have nothing to do with you! No matter who I date with or have sex with, you are not qualified to lend a hand!"
Lucien's eyes narrows, like a cheetah accumulating all the strength before attacking, "Nina, you lied to me. You said you were going to work overtime, but you were dating the man. You can't do anything without a man, can you? In the five years abroad, you must have met a lot of men and gotten laid, right?"
Nina is trembling from head to foot, and she doesn't even know what she is saying, "It's none of your business! Go away! This is my home. I don't welcome you!"
She and Lucien are standing in the doorway. She tries hard to push Lucien away and runs into the room. As long as the door is closed, she will be safe!
"Is it? Don't welcome me? I'll see if you welcome me or not!" Lucien'eyes seem to be bloodthirsty and furious. He pushs her into the house and slams the door!
