Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2218

“If you can’t save her, I will.

If you can’t give her the love she deserves, I’m ready to take her back at any moment.

”

Nathan sneered in response.

“Unless I’m dead, do you really think you have a chance? If I can’t rescue her from the kidnappers, what makes you think you can?”

Kyson fell silent, unable to reply.

In terms of status, influence, power, and wealth in Cadiered, he was no match for Nathan.

If Nathan was unable to rescue someone, it implied that even the National Security Bureau was powerless.

Kyson had nothing to offer but his sincerity.

Kyson relaxed his hold on Nathan’s collar and slowly bowed his head.

Frustrated, he returned to the chair beside Colby’s crib and remained silent.

Leaning against the wall, Nathan regarded him with a cold look.

“I thought you agreed to be the godfather to Colby and Destinee because you had moved past your feelings for Lucinda.

Yet, it seems a simple test has revealed your true intentions.

If you prefer to be my rival in love rather than my friend, I will take necessary precautions.

”

A rival in love?

This would mean Kyson could no longer visit the Payne family home or see Destinee at N&L Fairy Land.

Nathan would have to keep an eye on him.

Kyson softened his voice and said, “I’m just really concerned about Lucinda, and I misspoke.

Please, don’t take it to heart.

”

Nathan did not respond.

He walked over to the other side of the crib, pulled up a chair, and sat down quietly beside Colby.

Both father and godfather sat like sentinels beside him.

Colby, only a few months old, could not appreciate this sense of security.

However, perhaps it was the strong presence of the two men that helped Colby sleep soundly.

Careful not to disturb Colby, Kyson continued in a subdued tone, “I must be honest with you.

I have loved Lucinda for over ten years.

It’s not something I can simply let go of.

”

Nathan looked down, focusing on his wristwatch, his fingertips brushing it lightly.

His demeanor remained icy, showing no emotion.

The night stretched on quietly.

Kyson confessed openly, “Though I can’t forget my feelings, I know I stand no chance against you.

She loves you, not me.

My only wish is to protect her and be there when she needs help.

While I may desire to compete with you, I recognize it’s futile.

I can’t yet relinquish my feelings, but I promise not to do anything that would harm Lucinda or the children.

You have my word.

”

Nathan remained silent for a moment, and then scoffed, “You seem to have learned a lot after all these events.

”

“I had to fail once and experience it all.

Only then did I realize I needed to let go.

”

Nathan’s expression softened into a smile.

Now Kyson seemed much more grounded compared to his previous unprincipled, conniving, and reckless self.

Nathan appreciated his newfound sincerity.

“I hope what you’ve said tonight holds true.

Since you’ve become a friend to me and godfather to Colby and Destinee, you ought to honor my trust.

If this is just a ruse to deceive me…”

He left the sentence hanging.

His fingers casually stroked his watch, but the implied threat in his gesture was palpable to Kyson.

The unspoken words carried a deeper menace.
