Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2293

Once inside, Kyson released Dulcie’s wrist.

She rubbed the spot where he had held her, a shadow of sadness crossing her face as she took a seat.

Kyson settled Destinee into a chair next to him before getting straight to the point.

“You mentioned you were leaving for a blind date.

How did that go?”

Dulcie shook her head, a hint of resignation in her voice.

“There was no date.

I decided against it.

”

“Why?” Kyson furrowed his brows.

She looked down, her gaze dimming.

“Initially, I thought about settling back in my hometown.

But then I realized there was nobody there waiting for me— nobody who cared whether I returned or not.

What was the point? I’ve been here in Cadiered for over four years now, and the thought of leaving feels… hard.

I decided to take a few more days to think it over.

”

Pausing, she added, a flush of embarrassment coloring her tone, “Mr.

Shaw, I hope my presence didn’t spoil your blind date with Miss Perez.

If it did, I’d feel terribly guilty.

I’m sorry.

”

Kyson reassured her, “The date was doomed from the start, and your arrival had nothing to do with its end.

I was clear with Phillis; she and I will not be seeing each other again.

”

After a moment, Dulcie ventured, “Then… Mr.

Shaw, what are you looking for in someone?”

Kyson didn’t reply directly to her question.

Instead, he addressed her immediate concerns.

“Since you’re staying, you’ll need to think about money, food, and housing.

If you like, you can return to the aquarium anytime.

Consider the time you were away as paid annual leave.

”

Dulcie gripped the hem of her uniform, her fingers tensing around the fabric.

“You’re a good boss, Mr.

Shaw, easy-going and fair.

” Her eyes clouded over “But… no, thank you.

I don’t need the job.

”

Kyson was slightly stunned.

Dulcie had once saved Destinee’s life, a fact that had always made him more favorable toward her than others.

He was puzzled that she would choose to be a waitress in a _ high-end restaurant over returning to her role as an administrator at the aquarium.

He was curious about the reasons.

“You mentioned you came to Cadiered to find someone.

Did you find that person?” he asked.

Dulcie offered a self-deprecating smile.

“I found him long ago, but he doesn’t remember me.

Besides, he’s changed; he’s not the man I once knew.

Now, he’s far beyond my reach.

I don’t think we’re meant to connect anymore.

”

She averted her gaze from Kyson, her eyes downcast.

Softly, she added, “He’s been on a blind date recently.

His date seemed quite taken with him.

He’s attractive, and I’m sure many women vie for his attention.

I’m afraid…”

She trailed off, the unspoken words heavy in the air-—that she stood no chance.

Gripping her uniform, she spoke with resignation.

“I’ve made up my mind.

After I receive my last paycheck in a few days, I’ll leave Cadiered and return to Tuborg for a blind date.

Then, I’ll settle down.

”

Kyson’s expression hardened.

The mention of “Tuborg” made him frown deeply.

He couldn’t recall having met Dulcie before, but he had been to Tuborg.
