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

This was the first time the children had been without their parents overnight as far as they could remember.

They were now anxious to see their mother.

Over an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Nathan’s office.

The doorknob turned, and the door cracked open slightly.

A pair of eyes peered inside.

“Nathan? Are you there?” Sonny called out tentatively.

Why couldn’t he see anyone? Upon arriving, he inquired with the night-duty officer.

Nathan had returned to the National Security Bureau late and hadn’t left since.

He was supposed to be in his office.

“Nathan?” he called out louder this time.

In the next moment, the office light flicked on.

Blinded by the sudden brightness, Sonny instinctively shut his eyes.

Once his eyes adjusted, he saw Nathan sitting at his desk.

Nathan appeared disheartened, his usual sharp features marred by gloom, casting a somber mood over the room.

Noticing the reddish streaks in his eyes, Sonny felt a mix of concern and confusion.

“Nathan, have you been drinking?”

The ashtray on the desk was littered with a few cigarette butts.

Sonny was taken aback.

“Nathan, hadn’t you quit smoking? Why so many cigarettes tonight? Is something wrong?”

Nathan remained silent, his face flushed from alcohol, as he continued to pour himself more wine.

“What are you doing here? I told you to look after Colby and Destinee in the lab.

”

Peering through the door, Sonny stuttered, “Colby and Destinee were causing such a fuss that Kyson and I couldn’t handle it.

They insisted on seeing you, but your phone is off, so I had to… bring them here.

”

Nathan paused, his hand mid-pour.

“Colby and Destinee are here?”

“Yes.

” Sonny glanced back toward the corridor.

“I left them with Kyson while I checked if you were in your office.

”

Destinee’s bright, childlike voice called from outside.

“Are Daddy and Mommy here? Then I’m coming in!”

Sonny turned to look at Destinee, and when he faced the office again, he saw the man behind the desk charging toward him Like a gust of wind.

Bang!

A pair of strong hands forcefully pushed Sonny’s head out of the door, and the office door slammed shut.

Sonny was left speechless.

He stood outside, bewildered.

What was going on with Nathan? Why had he reacted so vehemently?
