Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2122

Couldn’t they simply let it go and move forward?

Lucinda, observing Hilliard and Jennifer bicker endlessly, sighed and rubbed her temples.

“Why not settle this through a fight? The victor can have their viewpoint considered.

”

A fight?

It wouldn’t happen.

Hilliard sighed, casting a pained glance at Lucinda.

“Come on, how could I fight with Jennifer? It will only result in me getting beaten.

”

“Well, it is to let her release some frustration.

It was your fault, after all.

Just allow her to strike you a few times to relieve her anger,” Lucinda suggested.

Following Lucinda’s counsel, Hilliard leaned slightly forward, bringing his face closer to Jennifer.

“I fumbled my words and upset you.

Go ahead, hit me.

”

Jennifer gazed at his handsome face, unable to muster the will to slap him.

However, doing nothing left her feeling frustrated and stifled.

She pinched Hilliard’s soft cheek with irritation.

“You need to pay Nathan for some lessons and improve your emotional intelligence.

”

“Okay,” Hilliard obediently agreed.

Jennifer’s fury diminished markedly, and she let go of Hilliard’s cheek.

His face now bore a faint red mark from the pinch, surprising Jennifer and stirring a hint of remorse within her.

“Does it hurt? I didn’t use much force, why did it turn red?”

Hilliard smiled softly, “My skin is just very delicate…”

As he was about to reassure her it didn’t hurt, Nathan suddenly leaned in and whispered something to him.

Hilliard swallowed his intended words and instead uttered, “It hurts, it really hurts.

”

Jennifer’s heart ached, and she gently massaged his face.

Hilliard held her hands and, following Nathan’s suggestion, said with some effort, “The more you rub it, the redder it gets.

If you could ki*s it, it wouldn’t hurt anymore.

”

Jennifer was stunned, her face flushing in front of Nathan and Lucinda.

“They are watching; it’s embarrassing.

”

Lucinda shook her head firmly, declaring, “We observed nothing.

”

As Jennifer turned to listen to Lucinda, Hilliard bent down, bringing his face closer, silently asking for a ki*s.

The reddening tips of his ears betrayed his underlying shyness.

Jennifer noticed the faint blush on his cheeks and couldn’t resist; she leaned in and quickly ki*sed him.
