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

ont Startled by the sudden greeting, Sally flung the book in her hand to the floor.

As soon as she saw Dulcie, her expression transformed from shock to joy.

She quickly peeled off her facial mask and grasped Dulcies hands in disbelief.

Dulcie, youre back! I thought you werent going to return until after office hours.

Its been ages since we last saw each other.

You look tanned and a bit thinner.noveldrama

Was it tough working abroad? I cant imagine why Kyson had you work there for so long.

After Sally finished speaking, Dulcie quickly pulled her down to sit beside her.

Why have you turned into such a workaholic, too? Dulcie teased, her eyes twinkling. Ive only just returned to Cadiered, and you expected me to go back to the office to work until it was time to clock off? It seems the Shaw Group is driving everyone too hard.

Sally chuckled at Dulcies comment.

Sensing Dulcie was in a light mood, Sally ventured, asking, I heard from Kurt that Kyson went to Medican to see you.

Why didnt you come back together? Dulcie felt a twinge of embarrassment at the mention of Kyson.

To mask her feelings, she quickly responded, Kyson? Oh, hes the CEO, and Im just an assistant.

His schedule is much busier than mine.

Dulcie internally shrugged; she didnt even know Kysons whereabouts, let alone travel back with him.

Sally, observing no change in Dulcies expression, felt reassured and shifted the conversation toward Dulcies experiences abroad.

With plans to study overseas, she was eager to gather as much information as possible.

Dulcie carefully answered all of Sallys questions, and her tone was patient and kind.

He was momentarily taken aback by the sight of Dulcie and Sally chatting comfortably at the table but chose to remain silent.

During dinner, Sally shared captivating stories about her recent experiences, amusing Dulcie and lifting her spirits.

Dulcie had worried it might be hard to reconnect after her time away, but her fears proved unfounded.

Both Sally and Ryder made her feel completely at home, erasing any awkwardness she had anticipated.

After the meal, Sally treated Dulcie to a Luxurious bath followed by a massage, courtesy of the professional masseuse employed by the Shaw family.

The massage left Dulcie feeling thoroughly relaxed and at ease.

Returning to her bedroom, Dulcie surveyed the neatly made bed and was swept up in a flood of old memories.

Exhausted from her day, Dulcie was ready to go to bed.

After a little hesitation, she grabbed a quilt and curled up on the sofa, soon falling asleep. Her dreams, however, were tumultuous and unsettling, and she found little rest.

In the deep silence of the night, around two in the morning, the bedroom door creaked open, and a tall figure slipped inside.

Exhausted, Kyson collapsed onto the bed, too drained to remove his clothes.

Yet, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure curled up on the sofa.

Dulcie… She was back? A wave of astonishment washed over him, followed by an unsettling stir of emotions he quickly pushed aside.

He was too tired to process anything further.

Kyson succumbed to sleep without another thought, letting the days weariness pull him under.

Dulcie stirred awake as the first rays of morning light filtered into the room.

Sitting up on the sofa, she blinked against the brightness and caught sight of a figure on the bed.

Was she hallucinating?
