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

Nathan remained silent, rigid with discomfort.

Nervously swallowing, Sonny noticed Nathan’s Lack of resistance and tentatively wrapped his legs around him.

This was the first time since Nathan had rescued him from the country’s border at age ten that Sonny had slept with Nathan in his embrace.

They had been together for nearly two decades.

Before Luisa came into his life, Nathan was the only family he had known.

To Sonny, the comfort of one night in Nathan’s arms outweighed even the harshest punishment at the Payne family home.novelbin

He felt a comforting warmth and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Lying next to Nathan, Sonny slept soundly and peacefully, his snores filling the room once more.

Nathan, feeling the weight of Sonny clinging to him, turned his face away in annoyance and muttered, “How irritating!”

Unwilling to disturb the moment, Nathan lay still, eyes shut, and eventually fell asleep.

At six o’clock, as the rooster crowed for the second time, Hilda rose quietly.

She tended to the chickens, gathered vegetables, and began to cook, moving through her chores with practiced ease.

Nathan, who had only managed four hours of sleep, was awakened by the bustling sounds from the kitchen.

He felt a heavy pressure on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Opening his eyes, he found Sonny still wrapped around him, clinging on throughout the entire night.

This brat was pushing his luck.

Frustration boiled within him, now finding an outlet.

Nathan swiftly removed Sonny’s legs and, grabbing his arm, rolled him over and delivered a firm kick to Sonny’s butt.

“Ouch!” Sonny yelped, rolling over the floor and waking up abruptly.

Rubbing his sore butt, he was fully awake now.

He gave Nathan a woeful look.

“Nathan?” What had he done this time?

Nathan, sitting up, commanded in a subdued tone, “Go out and run one mile right now.”

“What ?”

Nathan’s face remained impassive as he started to count down.

“Three.”

Before Nathan could continue, Sonny scrambled to his feet, hurriedly laced up his shoes, and bolted out the door without even putting on his coat.

Watching Sonny’s figure shrink in the distance, Nathan let out a scornful chuckle and shook his head.

He massaged his arm, which Sonny had inadvertently lain on.

Rising, he put on his coat and began to tidy up the room with care.
