Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1834

No need to be so upset, Mr.

Payne, don’t you think?”

Nathan’s expression remained cold and stern.

“My wife’s skills are top-notch in the business world.

If she had entered the business world as early as I did many years ago, she could have been the foremost figure in Cadiered’s business arena.

She might have even surpassed me.

I won’t stand for anyone underestimating her abilities.

If you doubt the fairness of the bidding, you can take it up with Ellsworth.

If you lose, you’ll have to accept it gracefully and save face.

”

Having spoken, Nathan walked away, arm wrapped around Lucinda.

As they left, Lucinda’s gaze lingered on Nala, standing close to Danilo.

As Lucinda and Nathan’s figures vanished completely from Danilo’s view, he cradled Nala in his arms and grew affectionate with her again.

“Honey, due to his affiliation with the National Security Bureau, Nathan has collaborated with numerous influential figures worldwide in years.

He has an extensive network and is a formidable individual to contend with.

What do you think about dropping this bidding?”

Danilo suggested.

Nala, visibly upset, gently pushed Danilo away, resisting his overtures.

“You’re unaware that Miss Simmons just taunted me moments ago.

She used her family’s illegitimate child to ridicule me, suggesting that I’m overestimating myself.

She even called me an ‘ugly duckling.

‘”

Danilo was taken aback.

“After all, you’re my girlfriend.

How could she say such things to you?”

Nala cried softly and gave a nod.

Two teardrops of sadness trickled down her innocent and lovely face.

Danilo’s heart shattered.

He gently wiped away Nala’s tears using his weathered hands, rough with calluses and wrinkles.

“My sweetheart, please don’t cry.

It hurts me even more to see you in tears,” Danilo said.

Nala nestled in Danilo’s embrace, her tears flowing quietly.

“Honey, you have to help me get back at her.

She not only snatched the bid champion from me but also insulted me like that.

It’s clear she doesn’t respect you.

”

Danilo gently patted Nala’s back, offering comfort.

“Alright, I’ll surely get justice for you.

I’ve heard they’ll be returning to Cadiered tomorrow.

I promise I’ll make things right before they leave.

”

Nala nodded contentedly and nuzzled her head against Danilo’s broad chest like a delicate and affectionate kitten.

Considering an important detail, Nala added, “Lucinda knows how to defend herself, and she’s skilled.

Honey, you need to be cautious.

”

ki*sing her forehead, Danilo responded, “I’ve got it.

”

Danilo and Nala nestled close to each other.

If seen from afar, they might appear more like a father and daughter than romantic partners.

Upon returning to the hotel’s presidential suite, Lucinda was exhausted from shopping.

She immediately flopped onto the bed, indulging in a leisurely rest.

Witnessing Lucinda’s laid-back demeanor, Nathan responded with a fond smile and began organizing the things of their shopping bags.

Lucinda and Nathan had already arranged their flight home for the following day.

They had nearly packed their Luggage the night before, with only the newly purchased gifts and clothing from today left to be organized.

Nathan purchased two sets of intimate apparel at the adult store, and the bags they came in were quite pink.

He couldn’t resist running his hand over the bags, anticipating that once they returned home, Lucinda would put on these alluring outfits, setting the stage for an intimate evening together.
