Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2271

Colby was resolute in his belief.

Nathan laughed in disbelief and asked, “You want to punish him? What do you plan to do?”

With a secretive grin, Colby responded, “It’s a secret.

I can’t tell Daddy.

”

Nathan was left speechless.

He sighed and playfully tapped Colby’s nose.

“You’re only five years old.

Are you really keeping secrets from me?”

Colby simply smiled, his features softening into the innocent, childlike expression shared with Destinee.

Looking at his son’s face, so similar to his own, Nathan sighed internally, suspecting Colby was merely jesting.

“Colby, I know you’re clever.

I can’t hide anything from you, and nothing seems too challenging for you.

But I hope you won’t be so sensitive.

I wish for you to have a joyful childhood like Destinee’s, without worrying about adult matters.

”

With a cheerful smile, Colby remarked, “Daddy, don’t worry.

I will.

”

Nathan gently patted him on the head.

Nathan felt compassion for his son’s frail condition, and then his eyes drifted to a few books on the bedside table.

He stood up and picked up the books.

Among them were mathematics pamphlets and foreign language books.

A book with a black cover at the bottom caught Nathan’s attention.

It was titled “Pathological Psychology.

”

Nathan frowned and paused for a moment.

He turned to Colby and asked, “Have you been reading this book lately?”

Blinking slowly, Colby responded somewhat absently, “Yes, it’s so dull being on a drip.

I don’t enjoy cartoons.

I just want to understand what adults are thinking.

”

Nathan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Who gave this book to you? Are you sure you understand it?”

Shaking his head, Colby replied, “I asked a doctor in the lab for it, but it’s quite hard.

I can read the words, but most of it seems very complex.

I’ve tried reading it several times but still can’t grasp it.

Can you explain it to me, Daddy?”

With a serious demeanor, Nathan took the book without hesitation.

“This is a good book.

I like it too.

How about I read it first and then explain it to you after I’m done?”

“Okay.

”

Seeing that Colby agreed quickly, Nathan let out a sigh of relief and began to thoroughly search all the drawers in the ward.

While Destinee still enjoyed listening to bedtime fairy tales, Colby was solving math problems meant for junior high students and reading adult psychology books.
