Chapter 1040
He rested his face against her shoulder, inhaling the delightful scent of her body, and soon drifted off to sleep.
While cradling him, Lucinda gently patted his back, lost in her own thoughts.
Sonny noticed that Nathan had fallen asleep.
He consciously slowed down the car and drove steadily.
About thirty minutes later, the car came to a steady stop in the courtyard of the Payne family’s residence.
Due to the pseudo-classic style of the Payne family’s houses, all the cars had to be parked in the designated parking lot.

Sonny stood there, stunned, as he realized that Nathan had been scooped up by a woman!
The sight was somewhat comical, considering Nathan’s height compared to Lucinda’s.

Sonny noticed the sweat on her forehead and the clattering of her heels with each step.
Concerned, he suggested, “Miss Simmons, would you like me to carry him for you?”
She remained silent.
She took to catch her breath and continued to move forward without even casting Sonny a glance.
“Boss may be ill, but he’s just as heavy as before.
He… If you keep carrying him, your arms will be sore tomorrow.
Let me take over, alright?” Sonny pressed, hoping to persuade her.
Lucinda lowered her head.
She then fixed her gaze on Nathan, who was peacefully sleeping in her arms.
Her heart ached.
“I want to experience just how tired he was when he carried me all the way from the Hernandez family’s house.
And he’s ill.

Sonny was taken aback by her words, feeling both shocked and deeply moved.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he still took Nathan from Lucinda and carried him on his back.
“You?”
With a smile, he responded, “Boss treasures you more than anything.
