Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2091

“When did he leave?”

“I believe… I believe it was a few days ago, when Mylo told you everything and you went to Grandpa to demand the truth.

”

Nathan’s face darkened.

“Did Jeff leave in the middle of the night?”

Lucinda nodded again.

Jeff had left Stastle at such a crucial time, and even his own daughter had no idea when he would be back.

Was it just a coincidence?

“I think Jeff knows the whole story,” Lucinda mused out loud.

“That’s why he left Stastle as soon as he caught wind of what was going on.

It’s like he doesn’t want to get involved in any way.

”

Nathan pressed his lips into a thin line.

At this point, even Norton seemed to be telling him a lie.

He knew then that he could no longer trust anyone in the Payne family.

As things stood, because of Jeff’s absence, Nathan was inclined to give Mylo the benefit of the doubt.

He let his thoughts race for a while, then glanced at his watch.

It was already ten o’clock.

“It’s late, honey.

Let’s go home.

I’ll have my men investigate both Grandpa’s and Mylo’s claims.

We’ll talk about this more tomorrow.

”

As if on cue, Lucinda yawned.

These affairs were certainly complicated, and she was exhausted.

She needed a good sleep to clear her head.

She needed fresh eyes when she reviewed the clues the next day.

“Yes, let’s go home.

”

Nathan dr@ped his coat over her shoulders and escorted her out of the National Security Bureau.

He slid behind the wheel and drove them home.

Soft music was playing on the speakers, but neither spoke a word.

Each was deep into their own thoughts.

At one point, Lucinda turned to look at Nathan.

He was looking straight ahead, his dark eyes sharp and focused.

At first glance, one might assume that he was simply concentrating on driving, but upon closer inspection, one could easily tell that he was pondering something.

Lucinda sighed to herself, knowing full well that Nathan was still thinking about Mylo’s and Norton’s claims.

She thought of something that would pull him back to the present and started the conversation.

“By the way, honey, Hilliard and Jennifer came looking for me at the company earlier.

”

Sure enough, her words got Nathan’s attention.

“What did they want?”

“They want to take advantage of their off-time to go traveling.

”

Nathan nodded absent-mindedly.

Then, when he noticed Lucinda’s expectant gaze on him, he added, “Traveling before marriage would do them some good.

They can focus on their relationship without stressing out about work.

Hilliard is not getting any younger.

He needs to take this opportunity to spend more time with Jennifer.

As soon as they return from their trip, they can start planning their wedding.
