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

Observing her diligence, he speculated that she might have stayed overnight if he hadnt shown up.

He wondered what was on her mind.

Suddenly, Dulcie glanced at the clock.

She hadnt noticed it was nearly 10 PM.

Her stomach rumbled, and a blush quickly spread from her neck to her ears.

Havent you eaten? Kyson asked.

Dulcie shook her head.

She would not have realized the late hour if Kyson hadnt appeared.

Seeing this, Kysons annoyance surfaced, and he said coolly, Wrap up and go home. Dulcie did not dare to object.

She quickly saved her drafts, grabbed her bag, and followed him.noveldrama

Kysons pace was brisk, and Dulcie nearly had to run to keep up.

His luxury car sprang to life and shot forward swiftly, causing Dulcie to tightly grip her seatbelt.

Kyson rolled down the window, letting the chilly wind enter the car.

Clad in only a thin outfit, Dulcie shivered and wrapped her arms around herself, silently bearing the cold.

When Kyson noticed her lips turning pale, his impatience grew.

He slowed the car, tossed his jacket to her, and said irritably, Are you mute? Do you need to catch a cold? His jacket, still warm and carrying a faint scent of tobacco, moved Dulcie, but his harsh tone quickly dampened her spirits.

I… No… I dont, she murmured softly, assuming he might be enjoying the cool breeze and not wanting to interrupt his enjoyment.

Although Dulcie felt uneasy, she remained silent.

Upon their arrival at the Shaw residence, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close as they walked inside.

They were late, and Sally teased, Kyson, you workaholic, you forget the world when youre working.

Dulcie isnt strong.

How could you keep her working so late? Look how tired she appears.

Realizing Sally had misunderstood, Dulcie quickly clarified, Its not what it seems, Sally.

I was the one working late.

Kyson was just keeping me company, which is why were late. Sally gave her a knowing smile.

Well, congratulations, Kyson finally seems to be taking care of his wife.

Kyson tightened his hold on Dulcie.

My wife hasnt eaten yet.

If you keep us talking, she may faint from hunger.

Kyson always referred to Dulcie as his wife in front of the Shaw family.

Dulcie knew he was just pretending in front of his family, but the tenderness he occasionally showed still made her heart skip a beat.

For now, at least, she could pretend to be truly his wife.
