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

Nathan turned, startled, and found himself facing Lucinda.

His initial panic almost drove him to hide the cigarette, but after a brief, awkward pause, he regained his poise.

Since Lucinda said she didn’t remember him, what could she do to him even if he smoked?

Nathan took a long, defiant drag of his cigarette, turned around, and blew a large cloud of smoke toward her, his demeanor exuding arrogance.

After blowing a large cloud of smoke, Nathan flashed a teasing grin at Lucinda while arching his eyebrows provocatively.

There was a flirtatious, almost daring edge to his demeanor, as if he hadn’t faced any consequences for too long and was itching for some kind of reprimand.

He appeared arrogant, but his hand trembling as he struggled to hold the cigarette betrayed his true emotion.

This was the first time he had used smoking as a means to provoke his wife, and beneath his bold exterior, he was undeniably nervous, yet he didn’t back down.

Lucinda watched him from a distance, her expression unreadable.

After observing him for a moment, she let out a scoff, turned around, and walked toward the bathroom without uttering a single word.

Nathan stood there, dumbfounded.

Lucinda hadn’t reacted visibly, neither showing anger nor any other emotion.

Feeling a hollow emptiness, Nathan’s lips tightened into a bitter line, his shoulders drooping as he processed being disregarded by Lucinda.

The sting of her indifference weighed heavily on him.

A couple of minutes later, the door to the bathroom creaked open again.

Hearing the sound, Nathan quickly straightened up and resumed his previous pose, turning slightly to ensure Lucinda could see him exhaling smoke when she looked back.

Under the moonlight, his jawline was sharply defined, and his profile looked strikingly handsome against the wisps of smoke.

He tilted his chin upward, allowing Lucinda a clear view of his throat’s bobbing prominence.novelbin

Each gulp he took seemed to enhance the allure of his Adam’s apple, rendering him irresistibly seductive and provocatively enticing.

Yet, Lucinda paid him no heed.

From his peripheral vision, Nathan noticed Lucinda stride into the room, her gaze fixed straight ahead, indifferent to her surroundings.

With a resounding slam, the door shut behind her.

Nathan was left utterly speechless.

ALL his attempts to capture her attention had failed miserably.

Lucinda showed no interest in engaging with him.

Nathan’s eyes welled with tears, his hands turned icy, and his complexion grew pale with sorrow.
