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

At least they could talk normally.

Colby is set to start primary school, but… due to his poor health, he may not be able to attend the entrance ceremony.

Guilt and regret were emotions rarely seen on Kysons face, and the unusual sight made Dulcie hesitant.

If it had been just for Kyson, Dulcie wouldnt have wanted to say yes.

But it was about Lucinda.

Lucinda had done so much for her.

And then there was Colby.

That poor boy had suffered enough, and Dulcies heart softened every time she thought of his pale, fragile face.

Its not a difficult decision, Dulcie.noveldrama

Sallys voice cut through her thoughts like a splash of cold water. Startled, Dulcie glanced up.

Sally had been quietly listening to their conversation, piecing together Kysons sudden reappearance.

Her expression softened as she stepped closer.

Dulcie, Colbys a stubborn kid.

Kyson wouldnt be making such a request if he had any other choice.

You should go with him.

Ill come with you, too.

You know how weak Colby is, with his heart condition.

Poor things been sick since he was born.

Though Sallys words were laced with concern, Dulcie still hesitated.

She could just as easily visit Colby alone.

The thought of standing next to him, pretending that nothing had happened between them, made her chest tighten.

The tension between them lingered like a shadow, impossible to ignore.

Seeing Dulcie still hesitate, Sally shot Kyson a meaningful look.

It was subtle, but he noticed it.

Kyson, after a beat of silence, finally spoke, his voice low.

Lets go see Colby together, alright? There was something different in his tone this time-an edge of vulnerability that caught Dulcie off guard.

His usual indifference was gone, replaced by a quiet plea.

His eyes, too, held a flicker of something she couldnt quite place.

Dulcies resolve wavered.

Reluctantly, she let out a soft sigh. Okay.

The moment she agreed, Sally exhaled in relief, a quick smile flashing across her face.

She reached for Dulcies hand, squeezing it gently as she led her toward the door.

Youre doing the right thing, she murmured, already filling the silence with chatter, her bright voice a balm against Dulcies lingering unease.

Kyson followed silently, his attention shifting to the road ahead once they were in the car.

Every so often, he chimed in, but he remained focused, his eyes never straying from the road.

By the time they reached the lab, Sally had grown thirsty from all the talking.

She took a swig from a water bottle, her voice now hoarse from the effort.

Im beat from chatting the whole way.

Why dont you two go on ahead? Ill catch up in a minute, she said, her smile playful, as though orchestrating something behind the scenes.
