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

Did he mean that her past didn’t bother him?

Was he interested in women who were previously married?

These thoughts raced through her mind.

Filled with disgust, Lucinda began to speak incoherently.

“My father must have concealed something from you.

When I was a child, a fortune-teller predicted that I would bring misfortune to my husband.

You know that my ex-husband died, don’t you? In fact, he died because of me!”

Upon hearing this, Nathan choked on his coffee, causing it to spill onto the brown carpet.

The bodyguard in the study promptly handed him a tissue.

Observing Nathan’s reaction, Lucinda continued, “Master Nathan, as the heir of the Payne family, I do not wish to cause any harm to you.

That being said, it would be inappropriate for us to be engaged.

Shall we ask our elders to call it off before they announce it?”

What Lucinda said was right and on point, wasn’t it?

The Payne family was old money, and they could be superstitious.

Now that Nathan was practically the head of the family, he wouldn’t want a woman that would bring him misfortune.

So she sat anxiously and waited for his obvious reply.

Nathan took his sweet time.

He wiped the coffee off his thin Lips elegantly and said in a calm tone, “Miss Simmons, I think now is the right time to tell you that I consulted a seer, and guess what he told me.

He said I wouldn’t die easily.

I think that means it’s okay for me to wed a woman that will bring me bad luck.

In fact, I think it makes us a good match.

”

Lucinda had to pause for a second, speechless.

Although there was still a small smile on her lips, she was seething with anger.

Through gritted teeth, she said in an exaggeratedly nice voice, “What a coincidence indeed.

”

Nathan dropped his cup of coffee, not wanting to have another round of a coughing fit.

Lucinda could see that this man was very stubborn, but so was she.

She couldn’t leave this place without getting what she wanted.

“Actually, there is one more thing about me that my father must have omitted just to protect me.

I’m not proud of it, but I once fainted when having s@x with my ex-husband.

I visited the doctor after that incident, and I was told that I was very weak and infertile too.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I may never have children.

I know I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but this is exactly why my ex-husband divorced me.

”

Nathan silently sucked in a heavy breath, still backing her.

He could only be grateful that he had decided to stop drinking his coffee.

If not, he would have probably been coughing violently after choking on coffee again.

Seeing his heavy intake of breath, Lucinda felt encouraged and continued regretfully, “I know that you need to have children as the heir of the Payne family.

It’s better that we call off the engagement.

I will feel guilty for life if I can’t give the Payne family any child.

”

She had lied about being a bundle of misfortune, about being infertile, and had even gone to the extent on implying she probably couldn’t satisfy him in the bedroom.

Any man would be run away from her without looking back, and that was all she was waiting for.
