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

Chapter 2178

The stern, aloof face of Nathan was no longer there.

In its place was the image of a handsome yet entirely unfamiliar young man, someone Lucinda had never laid eyes on before.

She approached, suspicion etched on her face.

“During my half year in Forden, I visited almost every two to three days.

Your photo was there before.

When was it replaced?”

Lucinda found it perplexing.

“If the photo had been replaced with the real Nathaniel’s, how could Vivien not know, and not have come to mourn her brother in the past year and a half?”

Nathan gently placed his white flowers before the tombstone and bowed slightly, paying his respects to the departed.

“Last night, just before I went to sleep, I sent an instruction to the Forden Police Department, asking them to replace the photo on the tombstone overnight.

”

“That fast?”

Nathan’s gaze held a peculiar glimmer.

“Would you rather have my photo gracing this tombstone for eternity?”

Lucinda was caught off guard, her response grave.

“Let not such ill-fated words escape your lips.

”

Skillfully diverting the conversation, Nathan broached a different topic.

“Nathaniel, at the tender age of fifteen, met his demise in a tragic accident.

He was my most adept comrade.

The burden of guilt for his passing has weighed heavily upon me…”

Lucinda listened attentively, though she had heard this narrative once before, upon discovering Nathan’s faked death.

She patiently absorbed his words as he recounted the tale.
