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

Lucinda then entered the villa and ascended the stairs.

Shortly, Colby appeared, puzzled by the sight of his mother packing.

Mommy, are you leaving for a business trip? he asked, his voice laced with concern.

Lucinda beckoned Colby over and enveloped him in a warm hug.

Yes, sweetheart, Daddy and I might have to take a business trip together.

While were away, you and Destinee must listen to your uncle, alright? Leaving the children with Sonny and Luisa would ease her mind somewhat.

Will you guys be gone for a long time? Despite understanding the concept of the trip, Colby, who was only five, still grappled with the duration.

Sensing his concerns, Lucinda tightened her embrace. Well only be gone for a week at most, darling.

Dont fret, well return before you even miss us.noveldrama

Colbys expression briefly clouded with sadness.

However, he quickly hopped down from Lucindas arms, putting on a brave face.

Mommy, you go sort out your work.

Ill look after Destinee.

Lucindas heart swelled with affection.

Destinee, unlike the more composed Colby, might burst into tears at the news of their departure.

They were in the midst of their conversation when Destinee, who had just returned from kindergarten, dashed upstairs.

She noticed the suitcases, seized Lucindas hand, and burst out, Mommy, are you leaving? Is Daddy coming too? How long will you be away? Can I come with you? Lucinda rubbed her forehead, feeling a twinge of guilt.

No, sweetheart.

Mommy needs to travel to assist people stranded overseas.

Taking you with us would make it harder for us to focus, and we need to work efficiently.

Besides, its extremely hot there, and you dont like the heat, right? Hearing this, the little girls expression crumbled, tears welling up as she whimpered and gripped Lucindas hand more tightly.

I dont want you and Daddy to go. What will I do here by myself? I cant sleep unless Im in your arms.

Lucinda, anticipating a tantrum, simply lifted her daughter and soothed her.

Dont worry, Ill be back before you know it.

Meanwhile, why dont you spend some time with Sonny and Luisa? Theyre planning to take you to the amusement park and to see the pandas.

Youve been excited about seeing the pandas, havent you? Despite Lucindas reassuring words, her daughter continued to shake her head and clung to her, unwilling to let go.

Colby, attempting to help, pulled at Destinees arm.

Mommy really needs to go and help others; dont fuss.

But Colbys words only escalated Destinees tears.

No! I just dont want Mommy to leave!
