I opened my mouth but couldn't find the words. All I could do was stare at him, completely at a loss. Nicholas looked even more disappointed when I didn't immediately deny his accusation."Do you have any idea how much I want you? Or why have I been holding back all this time?"Nicholas pinched the
Nicholas' previously dejected expression changed instantly upon hearing my words.He abruptly looked up at me, his dark eyes gleaming with emotion. They resembled vast, relentless waves crashing against the shore.In the next moment, he pulled me into a crushing embrace as if he wanted to merge me i
"Nicholas, you're being ridiculous! You're twisting the whole conversation!" I said, a little annoyed.I lowered my head as I tried to pull my hand out of his, but Nicholas' fingers tightened like vines, entwining mine firmly."Nicholas!" I exclaimed, growing anxious. "We were talking about Tabitha.

Nicholas said, "It's you who insisted I get checked. You've got to help me, right?"He pushed me into the examination room and pinned me against the door, locking it with a swift motion.His bold move left me drenched in cold sweat. "Are you crazy? There are still people around!"How could he do thi

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
