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
Some shed tears over their farewells, while others were ecstatic over their reunions. I, however, hurried through the crowded airport alone without even a suitcase by my side.It seemed like Nicholas was about to break his promise again. He said he would attend my court hearing today, but now there
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
Upon hearing Alex's words, I suddenly realized I hadn't gone on social media while I was enjoying my vacation as I didn't want it to affect my mood.I took out my phone, but Alex quickly stopped me and said, "Ms. Jones, you won't be the CEO after tonight, so could you please approve my resignation l
The dress Nicholas had prepared for me wasn't inside the room.The hotel collaborated with over 200 brands, and the first floor was filled with different luxury shops. But when the butler brought me over, there wasn't a single person in sight."You can take your time to look around the place. Mr. Ha
Nicholas froze as the intense fire in his eyes slowly faded. With a wave of his hands, all of the attendants around us immediately left the luxurious room, leaving the two of us alone.Once he saw me sign the papers, Nicholas stood up and turned me around to face him. He looked at me with a dark gaz
Nicholas consoled me by gently patting my back. "What's wrong? Are you touched by my confession?"I sniffled and said, "Yes. I'm a little touched.""Did you think I would come back in advance to prepare all of this for you if I didn't? You're underestimating me. I could have done all of this through
My hands trembled as I took out my phone and looked for the photos of him sleeping with Claudia on our bed. I slammed my phone on the table before him and asked, "Or do you have the right to do so because you let her sleep in our bedroom on our bed!"Nicholas probably could not understand my sudden
Although Nicholas gave me his assurances, I still couldn't fully relax. I lay beside Tabitha, unable to fall asleep. So, I decided to search for information on childhood autism. As soon as I opened my phone, a trending topic popped up with Nicholas' name on it. The headline read, "CEO of Hawk Corp
I went to Nicholas' room to check on Tabitha. She was sleeping soundly, her cheeks flushed a rosy red.She didn't know yet that, tomorrow, she'd have to go to the hospital again instead of going to kindergarten.Other kids her age would be going to school or the amusement park, but Tabitha had to fr
Suddenly, a force pulled on my hand, startling me.My reflexive jerk knocked the bowl, making it wobble noisily against the table. The clattering sound felt louder than the pounding of our hearts."Sorry," I muttered, quickly steadying the bowl. I glanced up at Nicholas. His hand froze midair, stil
As my thoughts ran wild, I somehow drifted off to sleep in Tabitha's room. When I opened my eyes again, the sky was dark.I sat up in a panic, fumbling with the door lock before finally getting it open. The moment I stepped out, the door to the room next to mine opened as well.Nicholas stood there,
Nicholas' bright eyes dimmed instantly, a wave of dejection washing over him."I haven't eaten anything. I've been in back-to-back meetings and barely even had time for water. Can't you just keep me company?"At that moment, I felt the fragile understanding between us was once again on the verge of
I quickly got ready and waited for Nicholas to pick me up. He had called earlier, saying he'd wrapped up work early. He asked if I wanted to join him to pick up Tabitha from school.I immediately caught the hopeful tone in his voice but still turned him down.Lately, Nicholas had been eager to take
Once Tabitha finished her meal and Wendy took her to school, I finally had a bit of time to myself.I sent the prepared documents to Douglas, asking him to help arrange Tabitha's visa for Berland.Once her condition improved, I planned to take her abroad. Since Nicholas hadn't insisted on having Tab
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
