Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2277

“What? What?!” Nathan exclaimed, spinning around to scan the room.

The door was shut; no one was there.

What was Colby implying?

Colby pulled out his small phone from his pocket, revealing it was still on a call.

“Mommy,” it displayed.

The call had been ongoing for over ten minutes.

Nathan’s heart raced as he stared at the phone screen, speechless.

Colby’s face lit up with a mischievous grin.

“Before you came in, Mommy called to keep me company because she thought I might feel lonely.

I forgot to mention it to you,” he explained innocently.

Nathan was struck mute once more.

This meant Lucinda had heard his bold declarations about challenging her authority in their household.

He looked at Colby, cradled in his arms, and could only muster a wry smile.

It appeared his son was just as cunningly sharp as his daughter.

Nathan stood stunned in place for a moment, unable to utter a word.

Destinee had often tattled on him, getting him into trouble.

Today, Colby had done the same.

What was his next move?

Should he put Colby on his lap and spank him?

He found himself unable to do so.

Colby was delicate and typically mild- mannered.

The thought of punishing him in such a way was too much for Nathan.

ALL he could manage was to keep his frustration to himself.

Observing Nathan’s quietude, Colby cleverly switched the phone to speaker mode and posed a question to Lucinda.

“Mommy, Daddy said you liked to cry and act pitiful when you were with him.

Did you hear that? Was Daddy lying?”

After a short pause, Lucinda’s voice, ever so sweet, resonated from the other end.

“Sweetheart, your conversation wan’t clear to me.

Could you ask Daddy to say it again? I’ll make sure to listen closely this time.

”

Although she sounded calm, Nathan picked up a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Aware that she was providing him an opportunity to resolve the issue, he cleverly said, “You know what, Colby? I haven’t finished explaining.

I do hold complete control at home, but only over you and Destinee.

I have a direct boss too.

That’s your mom, my wife.

I look after you and Destinee, while she looks after me.

”

He voiced a bit louder and with a serious tone, “And she doesn’t pretend to be pitiful.

It was me who did that when I was courting her.

I just wanted her attention.

I make sure not to make her cry, because if she does, it’s always my fault.

”

Colby listened with a puzzled expression.

“Really? Mommy is so cool! Daddy, you’re in charge of us, but she’s the boss of you…”
