Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2283

Nathan was still at the door, waiting for her.

He teased, “There’s no need to rush; there aren’t any dogs chasing you.

”

Destinee huffed, “I’m not speaking to a mean daddy.

”

She breezed past Nathan, climbed back into bed, and snuggled up to Lucinda.

Watching her, Nathan couldn’t help but think how adorable she was.

Colby and Destinee were locked in a fierce battle on the bed.

Each of them desired to sleep next to Lucinda and to embrace her.

Colby was more mature of the two.

Eventually, he relented.

Obediently, he shifted his pillow next to Nathan’s.

After over thirty minutes, all four of them finally lay down peacefully.

But as soon as the lights went out, Destinee’s voice pierced the darkness.

“Mommy, my heart is pounding.

I can’t fall asleep.

”

“You shouldn’t do strenuous exercise before bed,” Nathan lazily advised.

“You ran too fast.

Naturally, you’re not sleepy.

”

Lucinda remained silent.

Even though Destinee couldn’t sleep, Colby needed to rest.

He had been in the lab for IV fluids every day.

Lucinda could see the fatigue in him when he came home tonight.

As she pondered this, Nathan added, “How about a bedtime story from your mommy ?”

“Yes!” exclaimed Destinee, thrilled.

“Boring,” Colby scoffed.

Nathan hoped that listening to more fairy tales with Destinee would make Colby less mature, reminding him that he was still just a boy.

He asked, “Colby, have you ever heard your mommy tell stories? You should try it.

Besides, it might help Destinee fall asleep.

”

Colby turned around and crossed his arms.

“Whatever.

Girls really are a bother.

Boys don’t need any coaxing to fall asleep.

”

Ignoring his sour mood, Destinee hugged him from behind.

She was always patient with Colby, her ailing brother.

With a gentle pout, she said, “I’m not a bother at all.

Colby, Mommy tells the best stories.

Listen with me, will you?”

Though Colby remained silent, his face noticeably softened.

It was clear he too was curious about the story.

Nathan and Lucinda exchanged a look, their eyes speaking volumes.
