Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2211

In this aspect, he was far more transparent than Everett and placed a higher value on his family.

Lucinda relaxed and smiled.

“Yes, I understand your situation.

Having a baby at home, you have to be careful.

”

Everett was unsure how much Lucinda believed.

He took out his phone, displayed a photo of his baby, and handed it to her.

“Mrs.

Payne, I never intended to harm your baby.

I planned to use this special means to bring your baby here safely, under very special circumstances.

I hope you can trust me.

”

Lucinda accepted the phone and casually scrolled through several photos.

She saw a family portrait and a close-up of him with his baby.

She tapped the details in the upper right corner of the photo album.

The photos were recent and showed no signs of being altered.

“Okay, I believe you, Mr.

Gomez.

”

Just as she finished speaking, the loud barking of a dog echoed from outside the villa.

She looked surprised.

“You have a large dog too?”

Everett appeared puzzled.

“No, this is a private residence deep in the woods.

My wife and I used to come here for vacations and summers to relax.

We’ve never kept even a servant here.

Where would the dog come from?”

Lucinda paused for a moment, and then a realization dawned on her.

Her expression shifted.

“Oh no, it must be my husband.

”

The look on Everett’s face turned serious.

“Mr.

Payne? With the dog barking like that, he seems to be approaching with force.

Is he going to attack my villa?”

Without responding, Lucinda stood and headed for the door.

Everett and his group of suited bodyguards quickly followed her.

Exiting the living room, Lucinda peered through the garden toward the iron gate.

Nathan wasn’t in his military uniform but wore a casual, simple suit that made him look tidy.

His expression was grave and cold as he struggled to contain his anger.

At the gate of Everett’s villa, Nathan’s men had overpowered the four bodyguards.

Handcuffed by the police, the bodyguards looked desperately at Everett for assistance.

“Mr.

Gomez, they were too quick for us.

We stood no chance and were subdued in moments…”

Everett responded with a frigid expression, “Do you think I need you to tell me that? I’m already aware.

”

The bodyguards fell silent.

Everett glanced at the bodyguard standing behind him and instructed, “Since Mr.

Payne is here, hurry and open the gate.

”

When the iron gate opened, Lucinda approached and greeted Nathan warmly.

“Darling.

”
