Nicholas scooped me up from the ground and held me in his arms. "With skills that bad, you still want to chase me away?"I was speechless. Wasn't he the one who couldn't control himself and growled for me to go faster? I bit my lip, wanting to retort but too embarrassed to say anything. "You… seeme
My gaze fell on the black carry-on suitcase by his leg. "Didn't you just say you weren't leaving?"Nicholas, with his long legs, walked over to the bedside and reached out to stroke my head, but I turned my head to avoid his touch. His hand hung awkwardly in the air for a moment before he withdrew i

The outcome of the trial was clear. I was grateful for my client's trust and for the judge's willingness to consider the perspective of a young lawyer like me during the ruling.Cindy's post went out simultaneously, saying, "Grateful for the encounter, but now we part ways."The public needed time t
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t

I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
