Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You -
Chapter 255
“I’m not a child anymore.
Of course I have changed,” Lucinda replied with a smile, attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.
“We haven’t seen each other in a long time.
Why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?
Brinleigh didn’t hesitate to consent.
“Sounds like a plan.
We can catch up on old times over a few drinks.
”
“Just don’t get too drunk.
She’ll rub it on your face whenever she has the chance to,” Cyrus chimed in as he entered the room.
He playfully patted Brinleigh’s shoulder and said, “Remember that one time we drank together a few years ago? You passed out after one glass.
I thought I was going to have to take you to the hospital.
”
Brinleigh laughed.
“That was then.
I can handle a lot more alcohol now.
Let’s have a drinking contest if you don’t believe me.
”
Lucinda trailed behind the two men in silence, feeling a wave of nostalgia wash over her.
It had been too long since she had caught up with her old friend.
During the three years she was married to Nathaniel, she almost forgot that she used to be confident, energetic and joyful.
To celebrate their reunion, Cyrus went out of his way to open a bottle of expensive wine that had been sitting for years.
“Come on, I drink a lot now.
Just a bottle of wine? Really?”
Brinleigh joked, patting Cyrus on the back.
“Don’t underestimate this wine.
I brought it back from Rosewood two years ago.
It’s quite strong.
I didn’t even bring it out when Lucinda came back.
Have a taste.
”
Cyrus took out three crystal goblets, poured some wine into them, and gave one to Brinleigh.
Brinleigh took it, smelled it and then took a sip.

“This is a really good wine!”
Cyrus, Brinleigh, and Lucinda raised and clinked their glasses and then drank up.
By the time they were done, it was late at night.
Brinleigh seemed a bit drunk.
He stared at Lucinda’s flushed face and hesitated for a while before finally speaking.
“Lucinda, your brother told me something about you.
These past few years… How have you been faring? And that man…”
“That’s in the past.
”
Lucinda lifted her glass and took a sip, brushing off the topic that Brinleigh had brought up.
Sensing that he had overstepped his bounds, Brinleigh grinned and swiftly switched the conversation.
