Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2267

At that moment, Nathan’s voice carried into the ward from the corridor.

Startled, Destinee scrambled to find a hiding spot, exclaiming, “I’m doomed.

Daddy’s here! He must have come to catch me!”

Leaning against the headboard, Colby looked at her with an indifferent expression.

“Shush! Colby, don’t say a word.

I’ll find a place to hide first!”

The ward was clean and sparse, offering no real hiding spots.

In a rush, Destinee could only scramble under the covers of her brother’s bed.

Colby was at a loss for words.

He glanced at the Lumpy quilt and shook his head in resignation.

Just as Destinee concealed herself, Nathan pushed the door open completely.

His dark eyes scanned the room as he asked, “Colby, where is your sister?”

“I don’t know,” Colby replied, instinctively covering for his sister as he shook his head.

Noticing the oddly bulging quilt, Nathan quietly approached it.

Silence fell over the room.

Hidden under the quilt, Destinee whispered, “Colby, has Daddy left?”

No response came.

Confused, she was about to speak again when suddenly, the quilt was yanked away.

Regaining her bearings, she realized Nathan had already grasped the back of her neck and lifted her from the bed.

“Daddy…”

Destinee was hoisted into the air, her legs kicking as she tried to break free from Nathan’s grasp.

Nathan raised an eyebrow and looked at her curiously.

““Destinee, are you playing hide and seek with Daddy?”

“Good afternoon, Daddy.

You’re amazing.

You found me so quickly,” Destinee responded with a smile, acknowledging her defeat.

Nathan’s thin lips curved into a faint smile, instantly seeing through her antics.

“Destinee, you’re being so sweet to Daddy today.

Did you do something naughty?”

“Well…” Destinee frantically waved her small hands, blinking with unease.

Nathan’s expression turned serious, but his tone remained soft as he stressed, “I deal strictly with little ones who tell fibs.

Destinee, think carefully before you decide whether to tell me the truth.

”

Destinee’s face fell as she pouted.

“Daddy, from the way you’re talking, you already know, don’t you?”

Nathan nodded, his smirk deepening.

“You disrupted your godfather’s blind date with Miss Perez.

Then you called him ‘Daddy’ and said your mommy is beautiful, gentle, elegant, and very wealthy, right?”
