Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1932

Kyson noticed her attention was more on Noelle than on him.

Silently, he bowed his head, mechanically eating the grilled meat without savoring its taste.

As dusk enveloped Forden, Jennifer and Hilliard, having savored an elegant French meal, strolled together through the streets.

Since their engagement, they had spent their days working and their evenings at the Turners’ house, where they dined before retreating to their individual rooms.

Their opportunities for dating were sadly brief, and Hilliard had yet to experience the simple pleasure of holding her hand.

In the affluent business district, the streets were nearly empty.

The dim glow of streetlights cast elongated shadows of the couple walking together, lending an intimate ambiance to their stroll.

Hilliard, battling his nervousness, seized the moment to ask, “Jennifer, considering tonight marks our first official date, may I hold your hand?”

His request, despite their engagement, underscored his respect for her boundaries.

Jennifer’s heart warmed, convinced that Hilliard deeply respected her preferences.

“Sure,” she replied, touched by his consideration.

With her consent, Hilliard’s confidence grew, and he gently grasped her hand.

Their fingers intertwined, their palms pressed together in a bond that mirrored that of any couple deeply in love.

The mere act of handholding sent a rush of warmth through them, rendering them bashful and

clumsy, lost for where to direct their gazes.

They continued their leisurely walk, the quiet moments seemingly destined to be cherished memories.

After some time, Jennifer broke the comfortable silence.

“We’ve enjoyed a movie and dinner.

What’s next on our agenda?”

Hilliard had planned to visit a hotel for a memorable evening.

As they walked, Hilliard’s nerves were palpable.

“I’ve chosen a particularly nice hotel nearby; I believe you’ll appreciate it.

”

Jennifer remained quiet upon hearing this, her apprehension growing over his selection.

She had hoped the romantic movie of the evening would be uplifting, not anticipating a melancholy school love story.

They were both seasoned professionals, and she found the choice of a youthful romance film ill-fitting for their date.

The cinema was cast in a somber light, filled mostly with students and young attendees.

Jennifer hadn’t anticipated any grand gestures from him, choosing instead to follow his lead in silence as they strolled.

Cherishing their time together on foot, she hoped to prolong their walk, preferring it to heading to the hotel.

Soon, they reached the hotel lobby, leaving Jennifer speechless with a mix of preparedness and surprise.

Despite her mental preparation, frustration still took hold of her.
