I hadn't seen Nicholas look at me like this in a long time. Just a few hours ago, he was so unbelievably gentle and his gaze was filled with an unparalleled tenderness. Irritation flickered in his eyes as he narrowed them at me and snapped, "Were you eavesdropping outside?"I sucked in a deep breat
Nicholas was a mess, but I didn't dare to turn back. I was afraid of seeing his ashen expression, and his dark, lifeless eyes. With the last bit of rationality I had, I called for a nurse to help him. I didn't even stop to think if a petite nurse could support such a tall man. I fled the hospital a
Suddenly, my vision went black. I leaned painfully against the gravestone, clutching my head as if a silver needle had pierced through my temple. Some long-forgotten memories slowly resurfaced...Jasmine… No wonder she seemed so familiar. No wonder I felt like I'd seen her somewhere before.Nicholas
A gasp suddenly escaped Claudia's lips. Then, a series of muffled noises echoed on the other end of the phone. "Nick!" It sounded like the phone was being hidden, making the voice come through indistinctly.Sternly, Nicholas began, "The doctor says they can't find you anywhere. What are you doing?"
The man whispered, "If you're tired, just sleep. I'll stay with you."In the last second before losing consciousness, I kept shaking my head inwardly. This couldn't be Pete. His voice wouldn't have such a calming effect. It was unfortunate that Pete must have seen me in this dejected state. I could
Pete stood up straight and looked down on me. With a forced smile, he said, "You're the crazy one. You slept like a dead pig. I called you so many times to wake up and have breakfast, but you didn't even wake up once!"Why did he have to hurt my pride?"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry!"I lifted
Pete immediately grabbed my arm. I wanted to break free, but he was too strong."Were you about to hit me?""I don't want to talk to you. Let go of me, and get out!""This is my house!""Then move away. I'll leave!"Suddenly, Pete chuckled and said, "You're so heartless!"The next second, he pulled
I never thought my relationship with Nicholas would turn into such a spectacle. We were all adults here. How could he still throw fists over his feelings? It was embarrassing!Nicholas slowly turned his head to look at me. His gaze was cold as he looked at me sharply. "Did you bite me for him?"I co
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
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
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
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
