Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Lucinda, trying to suppress her amusement, chimed in, Alright, its getting late.noveldrama

Destinee, grab your little backpack.

We need to head home.

Okay.

As Nathan helped Destinee down, he spotted Lucindas phone resting on the bedside table.

The display was still lit, revealing a recent 28-minute call with Kyson.

What could they possibly have discussed for so long? Nathan pondered, his eyebrows knitting together in curiosity.

He decided against voicing his thoughts, focusing instead on getting everyone home. Once back, Lucinda noticed Nathans peculiar behavior.

While she was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, she observed him gazing at her thoughtfully, seeming to wrestle with his words.

After they had eaten, Lucinda got the kids settled in their rooms before confronting Nathan in their bedroom.

Youve seemed off since we returned.

Is there something on your mind you need to discuss? Faced with Lucindas direct approach, Nathan drew her close, his arms encircling her waist.

Why did Kyson call you this afternoon? And what were you two talking about for 28 minutes? Lucinda almost burst into laughter, realizing this had been weighing on him.

Catching his slightly pained look, she seized the opportunity to indulge in a bit of mischief.

Obviously, it was about something urgent.

What else could have prompted such a long discussion? This made Nathan furrow his brows even more as he drew her closer.

Lucinda, with a playful glint in her eye, circled her arms around his neck.

And what if you do get jealous? Nathans face was stern as he leaned in, his lips barely touching her ear, his voice a low growl.

I might just… devour you.

There was a seriousness in his tone.

He kept nibbling on her ear.

He was ready to play the bad boy and make her beg for mercy.

Lucinda felt a thrill of excitement as his words and touch sent her pulse racing. Relenting, she spoke with sincerity.

He was seeking advice on a present for his girlfriends birthday-Dulcie, the lady Destinees familiar with.

Remembering Kysons girlfriend, Nathan felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Seeing the twinkle of mischief in Lucindas eyes, he remarked, Were you teasing me, Lucinda? With a knowing smile, Lucinda didnt respond.

Without a word, Nathan lifted her in his arms and carried her toward the bed, where they enjoyed moments filled with gentle affection.

Meanwhile, at the Shaw family residence, Kyson lingered by the window, deep in thought.

Lucindas recent conversation still echoed in his ears, her praises of Dulcie and her insistence that he appreciate her.

Memories of Dulcies delighted smile as she received flowers played vividly in his mind-such simple joys for such a simple soul.
