Nicholas said, "I want to explore a new field and pave the way for my wife, but the contract is over now."As he spoke, his warm hand held mine under the table. His eyes were filled with tenderness. I knew there was truth mixed with lies in his words, but at that moment, his gentleness overwhelmed m
"Nicholas, you're just too unwilling to step out of your comfort zone. Finding a new 'Mrs. Hawk' who fits you is a hassle. "Maybe you don't want to spend the time or energy on it, or maybe Daniel is pressuring you. For all these reasons, you said what you did today."I looked up into his eyes and s
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
