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

Finally, as the curtain fell on the days festivities, the children rushed onto the stage one last time, taking a collective bow and shouting in unison, Dad and Mom, thank you for everything! The venue echoed with applause, the proud parents beaming.

Sitting beside Lucinda, Colbys usual calm demeanor shifted slightly.

His eyes held a flicker of something deeper, a feeling Lucinda recognized immediately.

She wrapped her arms around him gently, knowing exactly what was on his mind.

Once today is over, Destinee and you will attend the primary school, Colby.

Your daddy and I found the perfect school for you both, she reassured him, stroking his hair.

She knew Colby felt a twinge of disappointment about not being able to start school yet.

Though he never openly complained, Lucinda could sense his quiet frustration.

I know, Mom. Lets go pick up Destinee, Colby said, holding her hand tightly, not wanting to spoil her good mood.

Parents began moving toward the stage, eager to collect their children, and Lucinda led Colby through the crowd.

Destinees performance had been so impressive that other parents were gathering around, eager for a photo with the little star.

Destinees face lit up even brighter as she posed for pictures, clearly overjoyed by all the attention.

As soon as she saw Lucinda approaching, Destinee ran toward her with open arms.

Mommy! Did you see my dance? Did you like it? Was I good? she asked, her eyes shining with excitement.

Lucinda scooped her daughter into a hug, smiling.

Sweetheart, you were amazing! Youre my baby, and no matter what you do, Ill always love it.

Youre the best little girl in the world, Destinee.

She kissed Lucinda on the cheek and then turned to give Colby a kiss as well, looking immensely proud of herself.

Colby, I got a reward today in kindergarten, and I got one for you too! Ill give it to you when we get home! she announced, bouncing with excitement.

After a brief chat with the teacher, Lucinda held the kids and headed toward the exit.

As they reached the kindergarten gates, they came to an abrupt stop.

Nathan was waiting for them, standing by their car, holding a large, beautifully wrapped gift box.

His eyes sparkled with warmth and affection as he looked at his family, the perfect finishing touch to the days celebration.

Daddy ! Destinees small feet pattered against the ground as she dashed toward Nathan.

He scooped her up effortlessly, his broad smile reflecting pure adoration. Congratulations, my little one.

Youve graduated from kindergarten! His voice brimmed with pride.

This is for you, he added, handing her the neatly wrapped gift box.

Lucinda, standing nearby, finally pieced it together.

So that was why he had slipped out earlier.

Her heart softened.noveldrama

Nathan had gone to get Destinee a graduation gift.

A thoughtful father-more than she sometimes gave him credit for.
