Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2278

Nathan was at a loss for words.

Lucinda laughed and added, “Colby, you’ve got it exactly right.

And Daddy is also correct.

I’ll reward him when I finish work.

”

Reward?

Nathan’s brow furrowed as he wondered if she was going to whip him or had something else in mind.

The thought brought back a familiar pain, and his palms began to ache again.

Without dwelling too much on it, he asked kindly, “Honey, when are you finishing work today? Should I come to the Simmons Group to pick you up?”

“No need.

If you’re not too busy, you could stay with Colby.

I just spoke to Kyson, and he’s taken Destinee to the children’s park.

I’ll pick her up later and then come to the lab to take you and Colby home.

”

“Sure.

Whatever you say,” he replied submissively, knowing he had done something wrong.

After ending the call, Colby looked at him in amazement.

“Daddy, did Mommy say… Did she say she’s coming to take me home? Did I hear that right? Can I go home now?”

Nathan nodded and ki*sed his forehead.

“Yes.

Aldric confirmed that you’re adjusting well to the treatments, so you don’t need to stay in the lab overnight anymore.

You can stay at home and just come here for your treatments during the day.

”

Colby had been living in the lab, which made it hard for him and Lucinda to care for their son properly, especially concerning his mental health.

Now that Colby could live at home, Nathan believed his mental health issues could be addressed gradually.

For generations, many members of the Payne family had been distinguished elites trained in the military, all honorable except for Mylo and his offspring.

Nathan did not want Colby to grow up to be a troubled soul with a dark side.

Realizing he could go home, Colby was extremely happy.

As a five-year-old child, his joy was evident in his expression.

“Can I have dinner at home tonight with you, Mommy, and Destinee?”

Nathan stroked his head and replied, “Yes.

Tonight, tomorrow night, and every night from now on.

”

“Then… Can I sleep next to Mommy tonight? I want to hug Mommy…”

Nathan was taken aback.

His face froze, and he quickly decided against it.

“No.

Colby, you just said you’re a little man, right? You should start sleeping on your own, not with your mommy.

”

The idea of Colby wanting to share a bed with Lucinda, especially before even returning home, was troubling to Nathan.

Hanging his head dejectedly, Colby said, “I understand, Daddy.

Mommy is yours.

If I share a bed with her, you’ll be unhappy.
