Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2143

Her punches, though forceful, were light for Sonny, who had endured years of physical training; they hardly affected him.

He gently caught her flailing hands and tenderly massaged her fingers.

“Calm down, Luisa.

You’ll hurt your hands if you keep this up.

”

He always showed care for her in small ways.

Luisa had to constantly remind herself not to get angry when dealing with such a man.

Sonny’s hands were coarse, toughened by constant use of weapons.

Luisa’s skin, in contrast, was soft, compelling him to be cautious.

He opted to wipe her tears using the back of his hand, but his clumsy attempt only smeared her makeup further.

Finding himself at a loss for words, Sonny gazed at Luisa, her makeup marred, struggling to suppress a chuckle.

“Luisa, your makeup has smeared because of the tears.

Should I have an officer escort you home to fix it?”

“What ?”

Luisa quickly retrieved a small cosmetic mirror from her pocket and inspected her reflection.

She had spent hours perfecting her makeup, only for it to be ruined so swiftly that Sonny had scarcely appreciated it.

Her frustration peaked, and she felt a surge of tears.

“I went to all this trouble to look nice for you, and you didn’t even notice.

You’ve broken your promise and shown no concern for me.

Sonny, it’s not that I can’t marry without you.

”

Turning abruptly, she fled, tears streaming down her face.

The officer who had earlier informed Sonny of Luisa’s arrival approached him.

“Sir, the young lady seems quite upset.

Aren’t you going to go after her?”

Sonny paused to consider, then made up his mind to wrap up his tasks swiftly.

“Please, follow her.

Make sure she gets safely back to the Paynes’ house.

If she wants to go out with her friends, allow her.

”

“Understood.

”

The officer pursued Luisa at once.

Watching Luisa’s distraught departure, Sonny shook his head in dismay.

At twenty, she still behaved like a child.

Perhaps his overprotection was to blame.

He recalled his own experiences at twenty-already a veteran of two border battles alongside Nathan, accustomed to the roar of gunfire.

He sighed, remembering Luisa’s prior words about engaging with her family before their engagement.

When Nathan returned from his trip with Lucinda, he would formally meet with Luisa’s family and discuss their engagement, representing the Payne family.

It was indeed time to reach out to her family.
