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

She bent down to the girls level, giving her an apologetic smile while gently tapping the tip of her nose.

Oh, sweetheart, Im so sorry.

Things have been a little crazy lately.

But as soon as I had the chance, I came running.

And guess what? I brought some gifts for you and Colby.

At the mention of gifts, Destinees eyes sparkled with delight.

She clapped her hands, bouncing with excitement.

Ooh, what did you bring? Before Dulcie could answer, their chatter was gently interrupted by the teacher, who approached with a kind smile.

Its a bit chilly out here, she said softly.

Why dont you both come inside the garden? Itd be warmer for Destinee.

Dulcie glanced down at the little girl and noticed the tips of her ears were turning pink from the cold. With a swift, affectionate motion, she wrapped her scarf around Destinees neck, rubbing her small hands to warm them up.

How about this? Lets have your teacher keep the gifts for now, and you and Colby can open them together after school.

Sounds good? Destinees eyes flickered with an idea, and she turned to her teacher, Abrial Marquez, her voice sweet and pleading.

Miss Marquez, could you please send a message to my mommy? I want to leave school early today with my godmother.noveldrama

She can take me home after we spend some time together.

Dulcie, who had been hoping for a bit more time with Destinee herself, gave a slight nod in agreement.

However, the teacher hesitated, her gaze shifting to Dulcie with gentle concern.

For safety reasons, Ill need to check with Destinees parents first before I can let her leave, she explained, her tone polite but firm.

We must take every precaution to ensure the childrens safety.

The kindergarten had always been vigilant, ensuring that all decisions regarding the children were carefully coordinated with their parents.

The school was particularly cautious when it came to Destinee, given her familys prominence.

Any misstep involving her would spell disaster, not just for the school, but for everyone connected to it.

Abrial wasted no time calling Lucinda, explaining the situation.

Destinee grabbed the phone eagerly.

Mom, its Dulcie picking me up! I want to leave school early and go out with her.

Can you send the driver with Colby too? Were going skating! Lucindas voice came through calm yet decisive.

Miss Marquez, please allow Destinee to go with Dulcie.

I assure you, I take full responsibility.

With Lucindas permission, Abrials concern eased.

However, she knelt and gently reminded Destinee, Remember to stay sharp, just like we practice in class.

Safety first, alright? Destinees bright eyes gleamed with excitement.

Dont worry, Miss Marquez! I remember everything! Can I go now? she asked, practically bouncing on her feet.

Abrial couldnt help but smile at the girls enthusiasm and patted her head. Alright, be careful, okay? I will! Bye, Miss Marquez! Destinee waved energetically before grabbing Dulcies hand and skipping away.

Dulcie took her to a cozy café just around the corner.

They settled into a quiet corner, and after ordering some hot water for Destinee, Dulcies phone buzzed-it was Lucinda.

Dulcie, send me your location.

Ill have the driver bring Colby over.

Thank you for looking after the kids.

Dont worry about it, Lucinda.

Ive got some free time on my hands.

Im at No.

74 Dream Road, chilling at a café called Left Bank.

After confirming the location, Dulcie opened the box and revealed the contents with a gentle smile.
