Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2216

“Kyson is there, and the National Security Bureau’s police are overseeing everything.

With Kyson’s combat skills, our son should be safe,” Nathan assured her.

Lucinda felt a wave of relief wash over her upon hearing the update.

Nathan gently lowered Lucinda onto the bed, his voice husky with desire.

“We still have over 20 minutes.

Let’s not waste a moment.

I want you to make it up to me before I leave.

”

Before Lucinda could protest, Nathan leaned in and captured her lips in a passionate ki*s, leaving her no time to resist.

Outside the gate below, the policemen and Everett exchanged awkward glances.

Normally adversaries, they found themselves collaborating for a common cause.

Since they were assisting with the National Security Bureau’s case, the police officers adopted a friendlier demeanor.

They exchanged smiles with Everett and his team when their eyes met.

Fletcher glanced at his watch, expressing concern over Nathan’s delay.

“Mr.

Payne is usually punctual.

It’s been over half an hour.

Is everything alright?”

He considered checking on them but was halted by Everett’s explanation.

“You genuinely have no idea what’s happening, do you? Mrs.

Payne will be staying with me, pretending to be kidnapped for a few days.

Considering they’re newlyweds, the thought of being apart is unbearable for them.

It’s only natural that they want to spend more time together.

”

Everett, being married himself, understood the dynamic between couples, though he struggled to stifle his amusement.

Fletcher and his team were left speechless, finally comprehending the situation.

The group waited awkwardly outside the gate for nearly an hour.

Finally, Nathan descended the stairs slowly and leisurely, appearing in high spirits.

Everyone at the gate watched him with curiosity, as if he were a treasure.

Nathan adjusted the sleeves of his shirt with slender fingers, his every move exuding dignity and nobility.

Fletcher and the others from the National Security Bureau struggled to contain their laughter and sighed.

Married men were indeed different; they could still have s@x before a mission, Nathan walked steadily to the gate and glanced at Everett.

“Take good care of my wife.

If she doesn’t eat well, sleep well, or if she gets injured, I will ensure that you and your wife suffer at least ten times more than she does.

”

Everett inwardly gasped, acknowledging Nathan’s well-known ruthlessness.

His threat was ten times more daunting than Lucinda’s.

A mere cold stare from him was enough to instill fear, clearly indicating his threats were no joke.

“Don’t worry, Mr.

Payne.

I would suffer myself before letting anything happen to Mrs.

Payne.

”

Nathan turned away, leading the six officers from the National Security Bureau, including Fletcher and a military dog, as they quietly departed the mountain forest.

As soon as Nathan was gone, Everett wasted no time spreading the news that he had kidnapped Lucinda and was threatening to abduct Nathan’s son from the hospital.

Everett claimed he was driven by a desire for revenge against Nathan’s family.
