Noting my amused expression, Nicholas felt mortified. He decided to take things further with me. "Having such a sexy wife can be bad sometimes."Realizing his intention, I quickly stopped him and said, "I can't. Unless you want to go through a bloody battle…"He suddenly paused. Then, he placed his
Just as I was about to jostle Nicholas out of the room, Claudia knocked. But her knock was far from a display of basic courtesy. While my lips were still entangled with Nicholas's, she barged in. "Nick!"Upon seeing us, she paled, and her entire body started trembling. Looking frightened and anxiou
Seemingly having forgotten that Claudia was still asleep, Nicholas slammed the door shut behind him. However, it didn't matter. The moment I entered the room, I had already realized that she wasn't even asleep. Her eyes were closed, yet her lashes kept trembling out of anger, or perhaps something e
After Cindy's studio posted her latest update, Ariana was bashed so hard on the Internet that her name became a trending topic on Twitter. It wasn't that popular compared to the other topics, but it still sparked discussions among Twitter users."Lawyers are willing to take any court cases just for
I tilted my head innocently. Then, I asked nonchalantly, "Why did you bring him up?"A look of realization appeared on my face immediately. "Oh… Do you want me to protect you next time?"Then, I reached out to pinch Nicholas on the nose before tapping on the tip, just like how he always did to me ba
I had no idea if my guess was right, but I was willing to excuse his behavior. Zachary had someone he loved greatly. He was so lucky. Honestly speaking, I was quite envious of him.I brushed my cheek across Nicholas' as I leaned over to speak into the phone. "Ms. Gardner, don't make things difficult
In the end, we didn't get to go to the police station, but Nicholas and I didn't do anything other than the kiss we shared in the car.Today, Claudia didn't go to school at all. She intended to spend some private time with Nicholas, only to be interrupted by Francis.Since Nicholas chose to pick me
As I fought with Nicholas, I started believing the ridiculous reason that I used to instigate the argument. When I recalled the moments I had spent with Nicholas over the past four years, I'd always remember Claudia's presence in every one of them.In the past, I always kept my identity in check. H
I was filled with excitement. Ever since that argument with Nicholas, he had already begun coordinating with his medical team. Due to the sudden changes, the team had to completely revise the questions they had prepared. Since it concerned Tabitha, we didn't mind giving them a bit more time. Now,
Since that day, Tabitha had become increasingly silent.She started zoning out often, sometimes staring at me or Nicholas, sometimes focusing on random things. Every time she drifted into this state, it would last for over ten minutes.During these moments, we didn't dare to interrupt her. We could
Everything in Coral Villa remained unchanged. I hadn't been forgetful to that extent. I still remembered those days when I stayed by Nicholas' side, feeling at peace with it all.At that time, I thought, "What's the big deal if I stay with him for the rest of my life?" We had already found some kin
"Ariana!"Nicholas caught up with me from behind, his warm hand grasping mine. I wasn't sure if it was from nervousness or the heat, but his palm was damp."Ariana, don't go back to Tabitha's room. Sleep in a different room instead."I rolled my eyes in my mind. After all this time, he was still thi
I didn't want to stay under the same roof as Nicholas, so I took my laptop and went to sit in the courtyard.A while later, Nicholas found me. As he approached, the cool summer breeze swirled around him, carrying it to where he sat beside me."Tabitha finished eating, and her little belly's all roun
Back at Coral Villa, Tabitha had also returned.I carried Tabitha upstairs and started unpacking her things from the suitcase. She was thrilled.Nicholas walked over and squatted beside her. "Tabitha, Daddy and Mommy prepared these for you. Do you want to kiss Daddy and Mommy?"Tabitha stared at him
Nicholas held one of Tabitha's outfits in his hands. It was so small it seemed no larger than a face towel he used to wash his face. He handled them with such care that his overflowing fatherly love seemed to seep into the fabric.I looked into his eyes earnestly and said, "You still have time to be
I pulled Nicholas' hands off my shoulders and turned silently to look out the window.The reflection in the car window showed his pain. I saw him open his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.When we arrived at Coral Villa, the driver parked in front of the gate.As if eager to please me, Nichola
The drive back was silent and suffocating. Nicholas and I were separated by an invisible barrier, and neither of us dared to say another word to each other.His phone rang, breaking the oppressive quiet. After a few brief responses, he hung up and turned to me. "The police said her injuries are too
