Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2165

However, a wedding was a more significant event than an engagement.

As the head of the family, Lucinda felt her absence at such a crucial time might seem neglectful, especially when she had been present for Cyrus and Noelle’s engagement discussion.

Reflecting on this, Lucinda responded with conviction, “I will go.

Marriage is a momentous occasion, and as the head of the family, it’s crucial that I show my respect in person.

I’ll rearrange my schedule as needed.

”

Jennifer felt a wave of emotion.

The most influential person in Cadiered was going to Forden to formally discuss the wedding with the Turner family.

Her parents would be overjoyed, likely restless with excitement, and it might even positively impact the Turner Group’s stock.

As the group navigated through important discussions, Nathan pushed the luggage cart through the airport, his thoughts seemingly elsewhere, quietly processing everything.

After exiting the airport, Lucinda and Hilliard took different paths, and the group of four split up.

Once settled in the car on their way back to the Payne residence, Nathan cautiously asked, “How long do you plan to stay in Forden, dear? Will you be staying with the Turner family, or would you prefer a hotel? Do you need me to accompany you?”

“If someone as prominent as you comes along, Mario and Presley might feel quite pressured,” Lucinda replied, half—joking.

Nathan looked down, masking his deeper feelings.

“Maybe I should go, but quietly.

I won’t get involved in the marriage discussions; I just want to be there with you.

It would give me peace of mind.

”

His tone was earnest, yet Lucinda sensed an underlying tension.

She studied Nathan closely, catching the nuances in his expression.

“Are you perhaps considering this as an opportunity to visit the Roberts family?” she asked perceptively.

Nathan’s lips tightened, and he remained silent.

“Since the public announcement of Nathaniel Roberts’ death, it’s been almost a year and a half, and you haven’t seen Amanda and Vivien during this time, have you?” Lucinda probed.

She reached out to clasp Nathan’s hand, intertwining their fingers.

“I know you’re concerned about the past issues between Amanda, Vivien, and me, and you fear it might still hurt me.

You worry that revisiting them could upset me.

Despite her stern approach as a mother-in-law, Amanda loved you dearly.

And even though you’re not the real Nathaniel, she became like a mother to you over the years, didn’t she?”

Nathan remained silent, squeezing her hand tightly, his consideration for her feelings evident, as he did not wish to stir any resentment.

Lucinda sighed softly.

“When you left a year and a half ago, I made peace with them.

All the old grievances are behind us now.

If you wish to return to Forden to see them, I’ll accompany you.

”

Nathan looked up suddenly, his eyes searching hers.

“Really, can you go back with me to see them?”

Lucinda nodded affirmatively.

“Yes.

”

“Are you sure it won’t upset you?”

She chuckled warmly.

“No, I won’t be upset.

”

Rather than feeling anger, Lucinda’s heart ached for him.
