Nicholas had worn an elegant black suit for the wedding today. The tailored fit accentuated his broad shoulders and slim waist, making his handsome features stand out even more.He walked toward me with an expressionless face. His black leather shoes treaded on the soft carpet.But I couldn't bring
Leo couldn't take me away. Just as Nicholas had said, none of them could stand up to him, even together.He had brought plenty of bodyguards today to ensure Pete's wedding went smoothly. Yet, their mission had changed.I stared blankly as Leo fought with Nicholas's bodyguards for my sake, while Yasm
"Did you really do nothing?" I smiled slightly. "Then, give our baby the grandest fireworks show."Nicholas's eyes were red as he nodded. He immediately pulled out his phone and made the arrangements himself. The display was so grand that it overshadowed Pete's wedding, but I wasn't able to enjoy it
Nicholas stared at me without blinking. His entire demeanor was vacant and dazed. Even his voice sounded numb."It's New Year's Eve today."My heart was still racing from the nightmare. I nodded slightly, meeting his gaze.Thinking he wanted to rush back home, I followed his lead and said, "Have you
Since the start of the new year, Nicholas and I had been living in the manor. Daniel's study had a much sterner atmosphere than Nicholas's. The dark, wooden interior made the person sitting in the main seat appear all the more imposing and oppressive.Nicholas had lost quite a bit of weight, and hi
Nicholas fainted. His tall frame collapsed in front of me with a heavy thud. A passing maid saw through the slightly open door. She screamed and rushed in before rushing out again, followed by a crowd of others.The divorce papers I was holding slipped from my hand, trampled underfoot in the chaos.
Staying in the Hawk manor suffocated me. I needed to escape, so I went to visit my parents' graves. It had been so long since I last talked to them.The cemetery was shrouded in a gloomy overcast sky. The sun hid behind thick clouds, giving no hint of the approaching spring. Despite my thick coat, s
Nicholas's condition wasn't looking good. When I arrived, he glanced at me with his deep, dark eyes. His gaze was calm as if he were looking at something lifeless. There wasn't a trace of feeling in his gaze.He rested quietly against the headboard. Everything in the world seemed to have nothing to
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
Everything in Coral Villa remained unchanged. I hadn't been forgetful to that extent. I still remembered those days when I stayed by Nicholas' side, feeling at peace with it all.At that time, I thought, "What's the big deal if I stay with him for the rest of my life?" We had already found some kin
"Ariana!"Nicholas caught up with me from behind, his warm hand grasping mine. I wasn't sure if it was from nervousness or the heat, but his palm was damp."Ariana, don't go back to Tabitha's room. Sleep in a different room instead."I rolled my eyes in my mind. After all this time, he was still thi
I didn't want to stay under the same roof as Nicholas, so I took my laptop and went to sit in the courtyard.A while later, Nicholas found me. As he approached, the cool summer breeze swirled around him, carrying it to where he sat beside me."Tabitha finished eating, and her little belly's all roun
Back at Coral Villa, Tabitha had also returned.I carried Tabitha upstairs and started unpacking her things from the suitcase. She was thrilled.Nicholas walked over and squatted beside her. "Tabitha, Daddy and Mommy prepared these for you. Do you want to kiss Daddy and Mommy?"Tabitha stared at him
Nicholas held one of Tabitha's outfits in his hands. It was so small it seemed no larger than a face towel he used to wash his face. He handled them with such care that his overflowing fatherly love seemed to seep into the fabric.I looked into his eyes earnestly and said, "You still have time to be
I pulled Nicholas' hands off my shoulders and turned silently to look out the window.The reflection in the car window showed his pain. I saw him open his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.When we arrived at Coral Villa, the driver parked in front of the gate.As if eager to please me, Nichola
The drive back was silent and suffocating. Nicholas and I were separated by an invisible barrier, and neither of us dared to say another word to each other.His phone rang, breaking the oppressive quiet. After a few brief responses, he hung up and turned to me. "The police said her injuries are too
