Though he was aroused, he also knew how to restrain himself. Nicholas called for a stop again at the crucial moment. "I can wait for you." Nicholas gently bit my lip to end this intimate moment. "But don't make me wait too long." His body trembled slightly as he breathed. His breath was heavy with
Nicholas's words instantly stirred up emotions in my heart as it pounded hard. His gaze was soft and sincere. I raised my hand to cover his eyes and planted a light kiss on his lips. If we had not gone through those experiences before, I would have been moved. But now… It was too late. By the time
It was from my Facebook posts. I used to treat my social media like a diary. I had said so many things there that I probably would not remember every word. But once reminded, I could usually recall most of it. Yet, Nicholas quoted it word for word. He kept moving closer to me, so close that even ou
Ever since I started seeing Nicholas again, he had suggested I go visit his father. For Daniel, my return was good news. He said it might help improve Daniel's condition. I wonder if Nicholas's fixation on me has something to do with his father too, given how good of a son he was. But I was not som
"Nicholas, you think too highly of yourself." How could Nicholas possibly understand how I felt back then? I once loved him deeply. But his so-called "not doing well" only resulted in forceful possession of me. He never truly suffered or worried for me even for a moment. "I used to want the person
I pushed him away. The smell of alcohol on his breath was overwhelming as if I had been drinking too. Though this was his first time being so drunk, it was something I would have done when I was younger. Back then, I was constantly anxious. I would swing between high spirits and thoughts of giving
It was a grand fireworks display for the whole city to watch. Some netizens joked, "I wonder which CEO is appeasing his sweet wife now." A few observant netizens noticed that this fireworks show was identical to a recent one. Nicholas and Jasmine's names once again appeared in the public eye after
Nicholas glanced up. He looked past my shoulder as his eyes landed on Jasmine behind me. "Seems like spreading rumors offline was not enough for her. Now, she's trying to do it online too!" "Look! The main character has arrived. I wonder what kind of drama will unfold now." "It's clearly a movie
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
