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

Nathan’s brow furrowed, and he felt an uncomfortable twist in his heart.

The woman before him was his beloved wife, but instead of feeling desire, he felt a wave of repulsion.

Gently, Nathan caught her wrist to halt her advances.

“You were frightened.

The doctor recommended you rest.

We have enough time to discuss other matters later.”

Lucinda pouted and said nothing.

She seemed noticeably upset by the rejection.

Nathan was undeniably handsome and charming.

Could it be possible that he was impotent?

Even after reuniting with his wife who had disappeared for five days, he could somehow suppress his desires.

The woman’s irritation grew, and Nathan continued to watch her closely.

“Lucinda, you have no idea how desperate I’ve been.

I haven’t been able to eat or sleep properly.

I thought of you every day.

I was scared you’d forget about me and our wedding vows.”

With a smile, Lucinda’s voice softened despite its raspiness.

“How could I forget? After all, you’re the one I love the most.”

Nathan fixed his gaze on her and asked slowly and deliberately, “Lucinda, can you still recall what you promised me?”

When Lucinda was asked about the promise, she appeared uneasy.

After a moment’s thought, she frowned and rubbed her forehead, wincing in pain.

Then she said in a firm and relaxed voice, “Honey, of course I remember it.

I keep you in my heart and won’t forget anything about you.

But I have a headache now.

Can you let me rest for a while?”

Nathan’s face grew increasingly cold.

He looked down, disappointment filling his eyes as if a heavy stone pressed on his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

This woman was… not Lucinda.

Back then, he had pleaded with his grandfather to arrange their engagement.

To make Lucinda forgive him and not call off the engagement, he tried every means to apologize.

He had never dared to expect any promise from her.

But this woman knew nothing.

Although they resembled each other and she mimicked Lucinda’s elegance in small gestures, she was not Lucinda.

Nathan’s hands trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He hadn’t found his wife, but instead, he brought back an impostor.

Nothing was more agonizing than losing something again just when you thought you had found it.
