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

“Nathan, that’s excessive! You’re going to damage your Lungs.

Honestly, you kind of deserved that beating.

Lucinda should have gone even harder on you!”

Sonny’s words had only deepened Nathan’s irritation.

Pulling back, Nathan eyed Sonny with a frosty look.

Sonny recoiled.

“Sorry…” he muttered, zipping his lips with a gesture to signal his silence.

Nathan sneered at him, “I didn’t bring any cigarettes.

They were yours.”

“What?” Stunned, Sonny patted his pocket frantically.

It was now empty.

With a sour expression, Sonny nudged Nathan.

“Nathan, those were pricey cigarettes.

I’d been saving them, and now they’re all gone.

Someone should compensate for this, right?”

Nathan, visibly annoyed, retorted, “Ask whoever ruined them.”

With those icy words, Nathan tightened his coat and strode through the yard’s door, exiting into the brisk air.

Barred from entering the house or even having breakfast by Lucinda, he figured a walk in the chilly breeze might help shake off the stench and clear his mind.

“Nathan?” Sonny called out across the yard.

Since Lucinda strongly opposed smoking, Sonny hesitated to ask her for compensation.

Nathan didn’t respond, continuing to stride quickly away until he vanished from view.

Sonny considered chasing after Nathan but was interrupted by Hilda summoning him to breakfast.

Hungry from his morning run, he decided to return to the house instead.

Five minutes later, Nathan paused by a stream and settled on a rock to sit.

Sonny soon joined him, a goofy grin on his face as he crouched beside Nathan.

Pulling two slices of bread from his jacket, he offered them to Nathan.

“You really shouldn’t skip breakfast.

Want some bread?”

Nathan glanced at the bread, recalling Lucinda’s harsh words.

“He’s already filled with smoke.

Missing one meal won’t hurt..”

With that thought, Nathan lost his appetite.

He turned away, his voice laced with irritation.novelbin

“I’m too upset to eat.”

Sonny remained calm, trying to reassure him.

“Nathan, have a little.

Lucinda saw me taking these, and she didn’t say a word.

So, it’s okay.

She approved!”
