“Whatever, it is Nicholas, I'm happy, ”Emery said with a smile. Nicholas smiled at her and patted her head. “You need to take care of yourself more now. Don't go moving here and there.”“Fine, fine, ”She rolled her eyes. “Luke is busy with the kids. Why don't you take me out for a snack?”Nicholas gave her a look. She acted like the haughty and spoiled princess that she was once upon a time and said, “What?” She rubbed her stomach and said, “I might be carrying your nephew. Don't you want more heirs to this family?”He rolled his eyes. “Don't be so sexist. And you don't need to use my nephew and niece for favours.”Seriously, his sister was going to use this tactic? He couldn't say that it was not working. After all, he was a sucker for all of his nieces and nephews. Though, he only had and the little guy had yet to come. He was already getting controlled by the baby who wasn't born yet. “I want Ice cream, Nicholas, ”Emery announced. “Then, I want chicken wings.”“I can order–”“
Soon, Ellora and Nikolai moved to their new house in another state. It had been three days since their move and Nikolas had joined them to help them settle. Roseanne was alone at home with the children. During this time, she had been thinking much about what Ellora had asked her. If she were being honest with herself right now, she would have missed Nicholas so badly. If he came before her now, she would leave everything and hug him tightly. It had only been three days but she was missing everything about him. From his annoying presence to his calming scent. She wished that he was there. “Mommy!” Coco came to her room. “Leon is not playing with me! Ask him to play with me!”Roseanne was so busy being lost in Nicholas' thoughts that she didn't listen to what Coco was saying. The little girl huffed and puffed and left. “Mommy is not even listening to me,” Coco muttered. Suddenly, Roseanne's phone dinged. It was on very low volume but she still heard it. In the morning, she had sent
“You told me that you are going to Mexico,” Roseanne said. “Oh did I?” He acted nonchalantly. She lightly punched his stomach but didn't ask any questions. “I'm hungry,” He suddenly said. “I will ask the kitchen to prepare something for you,” Roseanne said. “I don't want chef's food,” Nicholas said. “I want you to cook me something. Even if you cook me a simple meal or just butter my toast, I'll have that. I don't want anyone else to touch my food and ruin the taste and feel of your food.”Nicholas knew that it didn't make any sense but he wanted food cooked by her, not any world-class chef. He craved her and everything related to her. Even if she would make him instant noodles, he would have it. “How big is your appetite?” She asked. Nicholas opened his arms like Coco did and indicated that it was a lot. Roseanne's eyes softened seeing him acting so unguarded with her. She softly asked, “Did you get enough sleep?”“I didn't,” Nicholas answered. Roseanne understood the reason
“You should take the bed tonight,”Roseanne said as she saw Nicholas coming out of the washroom. They didn't not share the same bed as he usually sleeps on the couch and she took the bed. “No, I'm fine,”Nicholas said. He didn't want her to sleep uncomfortably on the couch. Although the couch was big enough to make him sleep comfortably every night, he didn't want her to leave the comfort of the bed. “You are tired,”Roseanne noted. “I feel guilty making you sleep there. It's your bed. You should sleep here.” She stood in front of him with her arms crossed. “I will not budge.”Nicholas smiled at her helplessly. “How about we both sleep on the bed?”Roseanne stared at him. He added, “I'll make a pillow wall between us. Trust me, I won't try out anything naughty.”Before she could react, he added, “Even if you want me to, I won't touch you. I swear!”Roseanne rolled her eyes. “Fine.”A few moments later, they settled on the bed. Nicholas was checking his mails before going to bed while
The following day, Roseanne was busy with some work related to her children. Nicholas had asked her to choose any room that she liked to shift there but she was avoiding this matter. From the morning, she was immersing herself in one task after another so that she did not have to think about selecting a new room for herself. It was raining the entire day and Nicholas was not home. For her, the day lasted an entire century. He returned home during dinner time. The family of four were seated at the dining table having food. Nicholas liked the feeling of having dinner with the four people he loved the most in the world. He was not tense in any way and could act the way he wished. There was no pressure on his performance over him. The meal was very light and hearty. “How are your classes, Leon?” Nicholas asked. He remembered that Leon was grumbling about his classes. “They are boring,” Leon answered. These days, the relationship between these two has smoothed a lot. Although he liked
As Roseanne was anticipating Nicholas to kiss her, she was breathing heavily. His finger came to touch her face but before anything could happen, he wiped her nose and said, “You have moisturizer stuck to your nose.”She felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water on her. She had an urge to be angry at him. But she had no reason to act like this. In the end, she just nodded and gave him a small smile. She said, “I think we should go to sleep.”He said, “What's the hurry?”“You have to wake up early for work–” Roseanne tried to speak but he softly cut her off to say, “No, I don't. I think we should talk.”Roseanne felt restless. Was he going to ask her about shifting to another room? What if he asked about it? How would she answer him? She had not been uneasy and awkward before him for five years. She didn't know what changed between them and that she had to act in such a way. This was frustrating her to no end. “Nicholas, I didn't find the time to see another room. I was busy th
“You look beautiful,” Nicholas said as he came to his room to find Roseanne beautifully dressed for the party. She looked phenomenal in the rose-pink silk dress. She had opted for minimal makeup but had given a subtle emphasis to her eyes. He was so mesmerized by her look that he didn't wish to go to the party thrown by Vance Taylor but rather stay at home and worship his beautiful woman's beauty. “Thank you,” Roseanne said. “Let's go. We are getting late. Coco and Leon are already waiting for us in the living room. More than us, they are excited for the party.” Vance and Bella had given special emphasis to bringing Leon and Coco with them. Roseanne thought that Leon was close to Bella, and that was why they urged them to bring the children. Anyway, she didn't have any problem bringing children to the party as she wanted them to learn social skills that she lacked as an introvert in her childhood, and later, she had to face a lot of inferiority issues due to the same. When they
“I put the children to bed,” Nicholas said as he came to the room and saw Roseanne pouring a glass of wine. She still had not taken off her dress. “I thought you were too tired to move.”Roseanne gave him a lazy smile. “I am. But I'm also feeling good.” As she poured another glass of wine, she handed it to him. He took it without saying a word and occupied a comfortable place in the room to relax. As they were silently sipping on the wine, she asked him a question, “Do you think Vance knows Coco is his granddaughter?”Nicholas said, understanding her trail of thoughts. “You should not worry about him.”Roseanne smiled and said, “I feel bad for him. If he doesn't know that Coco is his granddaughter, he is very unlucky. He likes her so much.”Nicholas took her hand and said while caressing it, “Oh sweetheart, you shouldn't feel bad for a man like him. You should be happy when he is miserable. If he knows the power that he holds, he will destroy us.”“I don't understand,” Roseanne whisp
