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

Absolutely, Dulcie replied, a smile brightening her face.

After parting from Alyan and Miley, Dulcie headed upstairs to pack, her heart a mix of excitement and a nagging sense of unease.

She couldnt quite place why she felt so unsettled.

Meanwhile, in a quiet village, a man in a suit-looking entirely out of place-sat by the door of a small house, collecting the dried fish on the fishing net.

The door behind him slowly opened.

Gwen stepped outside, her hands busy tying her hair into a loose knot.

Without missing a beat, she joined him.

Kyson, you just drove all the way out here. You must be worn out.

Why are you doing this? Go inside and rest.

Ill handle the task.

Gwens forehead still carried the fever patch Kyson had brought earlier.

Standing up, Kyson gently guided her back toward the door.

Youre the one who should be resting.

Let me take care of this.

Gwens eyes landed on a faint stain on Kysons crisp collar.

Without hesitation, she pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped it.

Let me do the task.

If you mess them up again, youll be out of clean ones.

They were standing so close now, the space between them barely noticeable.

Yet, for reasons he couldnt quite explain, Kyson felt a flicker of discomfort, as if the closeness of the moment unsettled him in a way he hadnt expected.

He gently took the handkerchief from Gwens hand and proceeded to wipe his collar himself, putting a subtle distance between them.

Gwen noticed.

Her face fell, lips trembling as she held back her hurt.

She stood still, silent but unmistakably wounded. Kyson finally glanced up and saw the expression on her face.

ihats the matter? Kyson… are you avoiding me because Im sick? Do you think youll catch something from me? Gwens voice cracked, and her eyes sparkled with unshed tears.

Kyson sighed, his shoulders slumping, No, youre overthinking it.noveldrama

Thats not what I meant at all.

I just… He fumbled for words, unsure how to explain himself, and let the silence hang between them.

Later that evening, Gwens grandmother returned home.

The moment her eyes landed on Kyson, she gave him a once-over, her sharp gaze cutting through the room.

When did you get here? And how long have you known Gwen? Kyson barely had a chance to open his mouth before Gwen jumped in.
