Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 430

He swallowed the sweet words he had wanted to say to her.

“Lucinda, can I talk to you alone for a while?”

Lucinda considered and didn’t refuse.

She looked at the nurse then said, “Only if you do what the nurse asks first.

Otherwise, I will leave and not return.

”

In a soft, pained voice, he murmured, “Okay.

”

The nurse approached the bed, only to replace that he was holding Lucinda’s wrist too tightly for her to insert the needle into his hand.

Lucinda noticed the problem too.

Frowning, she said, “Let go of me so the nurse can attach the drip.

”

Without saying a word, Nathaniel changed hands so he could still cling to her wrist while the nurse treated him.

In the basement, when he had been drugged and was floating in a trance, his only wish had been to hold the woman he had once abandoned.

No matter how hard he tried, the distance between them made it impossible to reach her.

It tortured him more than any drug.

Now he could think straight, he refused to let her go ever again.

While he was considering this desperate need to be close to Lucinda, he felt a counterforce push his hand away.

Lucinda was pulling away.

The nurse had hooked up the drip.

Lucinda asked everyone to leave.

Her skin was red where he had gripped her so tightly.

“You’re hurting me.

Let go.

I promise I won’t leave until you say what you have to say.

But if you keep grabbing me, I’ll have to go.

”

After a moment’s hesitation, Nathaniel buckled under her cold gaze and withdrew his hand.

She sat down on a chair in front of him and got straight to the point.

“You are an arrogant man, Nathaniel.

And that’s exactly why I don’t understand why you agreed to sign the contract so decisively.

Is it worth humiliating yourself like this just to pay off your debts?”

Nathaniel gazed up at her.

“You used to love me.

You would have done anything for me, but I didn’t cherish you.

Now, I realize I cannot Live without you.

I know how I hurt you and I know how unhappy you were, because I feel that way now.

”

He paused.

His eyes brimmed with sincerity.

“Lucinda, I was not a good husband to you.

I said a lot of things to insult you, but from now on, you can scold me every day, and I won’t talk back.

I won’t complain.

I want to make it up to you! Will you give me one last chance?”

Scold him every day?
