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

At that moment, Nathan returned home and caught the sound of his daughters cries.

He quickly made his way upstairs.

Nathan, seeing Lucinda comfort a tearful Destinee, walked over and asked with concern, Whats wrong, sweetie? Who made you upset? Destinee, her voice shaky with tears, replied, I… I dont want… Mommy to leave for her trip, and Daddy… you shouldnt go either.

Lucinda had already informed Nathan about the situation via text, keeping him informed.

As Nathan noticed the beads of sweat on Lucindas forehead, he gently lifted Destinee into his arms and reassured her.

How about this? We stay home and wait for Mommy together? Ill be right here with you, okay? Upon hearing Nathans promise to stay, Destinees tears halted, and she looked up at him with wide eyes.

Daddy… youre really not going? While gently wiping away her tears, Nathan nodded affirmatively.

Im staying right here with you this time.

Mommy has to help people. You know, like the heroes you hear about on TV? We cant stop Mommy from doing important work.

Destinee turned her gaze toward Lucinda and then nodded.

Okay, but you have to promise to come back soon, Mommy.

Ill be waiting right here for you.

Lucinda tenderly touched her cheek to Destinees and assured her, Dont worry, when have I ever broken a promise to you, Destinee? Just make sure to listen to Daddy and your uncle while Im away, okay? When I return, Ill bring you some treats from my trip.

After settling the energetic little girl and ushering the children back to their room to play, Lucinda turned to Nathan.noveldrama

What did you mean earlier about staying home? she asked.

Feeling a twinge of guilt, Nathan replied, Im sorry, love, but Ive been pulled into a complicated situation with the National Security Bureau.

I wont make it to Medican with you, but Ill send Larry along to keep you company.

If Lonnie hadnt been just as tied up, he would have sent him to safeguard Lucinda as well.

Understanding that Nathan wouldnt leave her unprotected, Lucinda urged with a nod, Then you be careful too.

Once everything in Medican is settled, Ill return.

When are you leaving? Nathan inquired.

I want to leave soon, Lucinda said.

I plan to take a regular flight to avoid alerting Hollis and his crew.

Just ensure no one in Cadiered gets wind of my departure.

Perhaps you could arrange a fake ID for me? Lucinda knew her name was too well-known. If Hollis ever got wind of her movements, his band of rogues would surely act, and that could spell serious trouble.

Feeling secure in his arms, Lucinda snuggled closer.

Dont worry, Nathan assured her, patting her on the shoulder.

Ill have Lonnie take care of it right away.

But babe… He hesitated, his gaze intensifying with a mix of desire.

Lucinda caught his drift immediately.

Before you go, how about we spend a little more… intimate time together? No sooner had he finished than Lucinda attempted to escape.

He reacted quickly, catching her by her delicate ankle.
