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

Alert, Lucinda instinctively shielded the children.

Was it Nathan or someone else?

Gradually, the French window on the balcony creaked open from outside.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

In the dimness, Nathan’s face emerged.

With a slight smile, he silently tiptoed across the bedroom carpet.

Every subtle gesture indicated his effort not to disturb Lucinda and the children.

Lucinda feigned a stern expression and asked, “How did you get in?”

He gestured upstairs and replied, “I came down from the study.

”

Lucinda couldn’t resist complaining, “Why must you sneak around Like a thief in your own home?”

“Because my dear wife locked me out.

I had no choice but to resort to this to be close to my honey.

” He showed no shame, only pride.

Lucinda glanced at the sleeping children and stated firmly, “There’s no spare room here.

Go back to the study.

”

Nathan hurried to her side, leaned down, and planted a kiss on her cheek.

“No, I want to be with my wife wherever she is.

”

Lucinda was left speechless.

She almost burst out laughing.

She cleared her throat, suppressed her smile, and continued in a low voice, “Don’t think I’ll let today’s events slide.

How dare you bring up the past in front of the kids? You asked for this!”

Nathan leaned in again, kissing her other cheek.

“Then punish me if you wish.

I’ve deeply reflected on myself in the study.

I was wrong, and I’m ready to accept whatever punishment you decide.

”

Lucinda didn’t want to rouse the children from their slumber; otherwise, she might have struck him in the head.

“You’re aware the children are already asleep.

If I were to do that, it would surely stir them.

You purposely suggested this, didn’t you?”

Nathan pondered momentarily before suggesting, “How about I kneel on a washboard until you’re satisfied? It might be a quieter option.

”

“No,” Lucinda replied firmly, unwilling to entertain the idea of causing him harm.

Nathan found himself torn.

“Then what do you propose?”

Lucinda shook her head resolutely, her eyebrows raised.

“Go rest in your study.

”

Nathan remained silent.

He wouldn’t acquiesce to that suggestion.

After deliberating for a while, he came up with a solution.

“How about… How about we retire to the study together? There, you can administer any punishment you see fit.

And we can enjoy ourselves.

It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes.

Then, we’ll return and join them for sleep.
