Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2174

A wave of relief washed over Amanda.

“I knew it! Lucinda loved my son so deeply; her feelings wouldn’t just change.

How could she be engaged to another man mere months after reclaiming her identity? It really is you…”

Vivien’s eyes widened with shock.

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“Oh my God! How is my brother in charge of the Payne family? He’s not a Roberts by blood? Could he be a Payne, born from you and someone from that family, Mom? Then, am I.

.

”

Her thoughts spiraled, imagining herself as the secret heir of an influential family, her mind a whirl of confusion and possibility.

Amanda felt enraged by the words she heard.

She spun around and replied, “What are you talking about? I am a respectable woman.

I have only been with your father!”

Vivien let out a deep sigh of disappointment.

“I had hopes of being Lucinda’s long-lost illegitimate sister-in-law.

It looks like that won’t happen.

”

While soothing the baby, Franco grinned and remarked, “Well, you’re kind of a sister-in-law now.

After all, Nathan just called Amanda ‘Mom.

‘”

Upon hearing this, Vivien turned around, her mood seemingly improved, yet she was puzzled about Nathan’s background.

“If Nathan is my brother, then why is he a member of the Payne family? Could they have made a mistake over ten years ago?”

Amanda shot her a look and said, “You watch too many TV shows.

How could there be so many mix-ups?”

Vivien’s confusion deepened.

“So what really happened? Is Nathan from the Roberts family or the Payne family?”

Nathan softly tapped Amanda on the back and soothed her.

“It’s quite a tale.

Mom, I need to discuss this with you alone.

”

Amanda looked up and noticed the earnestness in his gaze.

“Alright, let’s head to the back yard.

It’s quieter there.

”

The two quickly exited the living room.

Watching Nathan’s departing figure, Lucinda grew more suspicious.

What did Nathan want to discuss with Amanda in private?

As she pondered this, Vivien approached her and grasped her arm.

“Lucinda, have you eaten yet? I’ll have the chef prepare something to your liking, especially since you and my brother have just returned.

”

Franco made a clicking sound with his tongue and cautioned her, “Dear, you shouldn’t overdo it with breakfast.

It’s not healthy to eat too much.

”

Vivien shot him a stern look.

“Lucinda understands what I’m saying.

I’m not going to harm her.

I just want to welcome them back properly.

”

Observing the small squabble between the couple, Lucinda smiled and responded, “I haven’t eaten yet.

You don’t need to go overboard.

Since Nathan considers the Roberts family as his own, he surely sees you as family too.

Let’s keep things simple.

”

“Absolutely not.

We need to prepare a proper breakfast.

”

With Amanda and Nathan off to the back yard, Vivien made up her mind and instructed the butler, “Please go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare an extra special breakfast.

”

“Understood.

”
