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

Hilda slowly made her way back to the wooden sofa, sat down, and intertwined her fingers, appearing somewhat anxious.

Lucinda smiled at her and asked, Were clearly safer inside the house, so why do I sense that youre even more anxious now? Am… Am I nervous? No, Im just a bit worried about them, Hilda responded with a laugh.

In her forties, her smile was warm and welcoming.

Lucinda moved closer, took a seat beside her, and said in a soft, confiding tone, Thank you, Hilda, for saving my life.

Without you, I might not have survived.

Hilda took Lucindas hand and patted it warmly and earnestly.

My dear, youre too gracious.

Ive been quite lonely for some time.

Your presence has brought joy to my life.

Lucinda offered a smile.

Hilda continued, However, judging by your upbringing and demeanor, as well as the conduct of those three gentlemen, its clear you come from a well-off family.

You have a home to return to, and you cant stay in my modest house indefinitely.

She paused, reflecting for a moment, and then added, Over the past few days, Ive noticed that both Mr.

Payne and Mr.

Follow new episodes on the

Shaw seem genuinely concerned about you.

Youll need to make a choice eventually.

If you indeed have a family and children, youll have to go back to them at some point.

Lucinda did not respond immediately but simply gazed at Hilda for a while.

Library Hildas words seemed to hint that she should leave soon with the three men.

Lucinda lowered her gaze and whispered, Hilda, do you think Im annoying? Hilda, taken aback, gently patted her hand, reassuring her that she was overthinking things.

How could you be? My life is so much more vibrant with you around, although… Hilda hesitated, finding the words difficult to say.

After a moment, she went on, I just worry that this place might be too humble for someone of your status.

Lucinda smiled warmly.novelbin

Its fine.

Remember, you told me your husband and son went to the downtown area to earn a living and only return for the festivals once a year.

Id like to spend more time with you.

Their conversation eased Hildas nerves.

Lucinda, youre really kind to me.

Still smiling, Lucinda gently probed, Before you rescued me, you lived here alone most of the time, didnt you? Dont you ever feel lonely? If you want, you could come with me to the downtown area.

We could look for your husband and son together.

Hilda shook her head resolutely.

This is my home.

Even though theyre not here, I need to protect this mountain for them.

But… there was a gunshot in the mountain today.

Its not safe here anymore.

Lucinda expressed her concern.

Hilda shook her head again.

Lucinda, dont worry about me.

If my time comes, it will happen here.

Lucinda respected her decision and dropped the subject.

Recalling the glint of gold she had spotted beneath the mud in the inner room, her gaze grew intense.

Nathan had yet to leave the premises.
