Tempting Hot Neighbor Chapter 43
Nicole's silence was met with a pause on Gage's end, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond. She was happy for Gage, but a small part of her felt a twinge of...something. She pushed the feeling aside, focusing on Gage's enthusiasm."That's great, Gage!" she said finally, injecting a note of excitement into her voice. "What's her name?"But before Gage could respond, his phone suddenly went dead. Nicole's eyes dropped to her screen, and she saw that the call had been disconnected. She sighed, feeling a bit frustrated that their conversation had been cut short.Shaking off the feeling, Nicole dialed another number, this time connecting with her boss, Mr. Harrison. She asked for a few days' leave, explaining that she needed to take care of some personal matters.To her surprise, Mr. Harrison was more than accommodating. "Actually, Nicole, I'm glad you called. My son is very interested in the girl you set him up with, and he's extremely grateful. As a token of appreciation, I'd

After a few minutes of navigating through the neighborhood, she finally found the address and pulled up in front of the house.She brought her scooter to a stop, turned off the engine, and removed her helmet, shaking out her hair as she did so.

Nicole followed Jack and Hazel into the house; she couldn't help but notice the colorful birthday decorations that adorned the walls and tables.

Karen's eyes widened in surprise as Nicole revealed that she didn't have a boyfriend. "What?" Karen asked, her voice laced with incredulity. "But Ashley told me that you had a boyfriend!"Nicole looked down, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "She lied, Mom," Nicole admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, Mom.

Max intervened, pushing Lucas away from Ashley. But Lucas didn't flinch. He stood his ground, his eyes locked on Ashley's."No matter how much you try to hate me," Lucas said, his voice low and husky, "I will still love you. Always.

Ashley stepped forward, a pleading expression on her face. "Let us come in first, Nicole. I'll explain everything."But Nicole's expression remained cold and unyielding. "You can come in, Ashley," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "But he...he needs to leave. I don't want him in my house."Ashley's face fell, and she looked at Lucas with a worried expression. "Nicole, please," she said, trying to reason with her sister.But Nicole's anger was not to be placated. She turned to Lucas, her eyes blazing with fury.

She shook her head and muttered, "I don't want to talk about him, Mom. I don't think he's good for Ashley."Karen looked at Nicole with a concerned expression, trying to understand her daughter's perspective. "Why do you feel that way, Nicole?" she asked.But Nicole just shook her head again. "You always trust the wrong people, Mom," she said, her voice tinged with bitterness. "Like Dad, remember? You trusted him, and look what happened."Karen's face fell, and she looked away, her eyes misting over. She knew that Nicole's words were true, and it was a painful remind

The plane taxied down the runway; Nicole's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Gage's words from the book kept echoing in her mind, reminding her of the depth of his love for her. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was running away from something precious, something that could have been hers if only she had realized it sooner.The thought of Gage giving his heart to her, and now, unknowingly, giving her a part of himself through their baby, was almost too much to bear.

Nicole stepped up to the microphone, her eyes scanning the crowd of mourners gathered to pay their respects to her mother. She took a deep breath and began to speak, her voice calm and steady."My mom was an incredible woman," she started, her words echoing through the silence. "She was a great wife, a great mom, and a great person. She had every opportunity to leave us, to start a new life after our dad left. But she chose to stay with us, to raise us on her own, and to give us the best life possible."Nicole's voice cracked slightly as she spoke, but she continued, her words pouring out from the heart."As a daughter, I have to admit that I failed my mom. I never understood her, I never appreciated her sacrifices, and I never thanked her enough for everything she did for me. She always put Ashley and me first, always prioritizing our needs above her own. And yet, I repaid her by being selfish, by running away from her when she needed me most."Nicole's tears began to fall, streaming

"What's going on with my mom?"Her father intervened, gently prying Nicole's hands off the doctor's collar."Nicole, honey, stop," he said, his voice calm and soot

Nicole took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to Ashley. "Ash, you know how Gage and I were in a friends with benefits agreement? Well, things got complicated. Gage fell for me, and I...I couldn't deny that there was something between us. Something that I couldn't connect with Jack."Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, but Nicole continued. "I know it's not fully Jack's fault that he didn't trust me. I never let him get close to me, not really. But with Gage...it was different. His touch, his kiss... it melted me, Ash. I couldn't deny it, no matter how hard I tried."Nicole's voice cracked as she remembered the pain she had felt. "And then Jack broke up with me, which hurt me, Ash. He said things that cut deep, and I realized that I deserved better. That's why I agreed to go to Paris, to get away from all this mess."Ashley's expression softened, and she reached out to take Nicole's hand. "But now...now you're pregnant with Gage's child," she said gently.Nicole nodded,
