Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2003

With a pout, Lucinda protested, “We haven’t seen each other for days.

Aren’t there things you’d like to do with me tonight?”

Of course he did!

Unfortunately, Nathan was torn.

The scarcity of supplies at the border and the relentless sun had taken their toll on him, not to mention the longing for his wife.

Now that he was back, he naturally yearned for intimacy with Lucinda.

However…

Stepping into the serene ambiance of N&L Fairy Land, he voiced his concern.

“Lucinda, considering your recent bout with mania and all the late nights dealing with various matters, plus more on your plate tomorrow, I worry it might be too much for you if we were to be intimate tonight.

”

Unsatisfied with his cautious approach, Lucinda leaned in and whispered provocatively, challenging his stamina, “Nate, it seems your strength has waned since your time at the border.

You used to ensure I could relax and enjoy without getting bored.

But you seem to have lost your edge.

Is it impotence?”

Nathan’s expression darkened at her words.

The word “impotence” was particularly loathsome to him, hitting a nerve deeper than she might have intended.

Aware that Lucinda was deliberately challenging him, Nathan couldn’t help but rise to the bait, his competitive spirit flaring up.

H

e refused to show any sign of weakness and was more determined than ever to demonstrate his vigor.

“Then tonight, you’ll see for yourself if my strength has waned, Lucinda,” he declared with confidence.

Lucinda, clearly pleased with his response, clung to him affectionately as they made their way to the master bedroom.

Following a refreshing shower, they indulged in each other’s company, taking full advantage of the privacy afforded by their children’s absence at Norton’s house.

The solitude of the villa meant there was no need for restraint; windows remained open as they lost themselves in the moment.

Afterwards, Lucinda experienced a familiar back ache she hadn’t felt in ages, prompting Nathan to carefully carry her to the basement for rest.

There, she slept soundly, without any sign of her condition flaring up.

They didn’t stir until well into the next afternoon, the tranquility of their sleep undisturbed until Lucinda’s phone rang.

Recognizing the number as one Graham had given her the night before—

Danilo’s number-she smiled, knowing he was calling to negotiate.

She silently slipped on her shoes and made her way to the Living room before answering the call, ensuring she was out of earshot and wouldn’t disturb the Nathan’s peaceful sleep.

“Have you reached a decision?” she inquired.

Danilo’s voice, laden with resignation, came through.

“Yes, I’ve realized I can’t keep her from Cadiered this time.

Given she’s part of the Simmons family, it’s only fair she be returned to you.

”

Lucinda remained silent, pondering.

Had Danilo resolved this so swiftly, just overnight?

What new tricks was Nala coming up with?
