Biting my lip hard, I tried to figure out how much physical pain would hurt as much as the ache in my heart.
I could not understand why Nicholas would always play the victim whenever he accused me. What about all the unfairness I was enduring then? But things could just be strange sometimes. What one saw might not necessarily be the truth, and I would not be able to explain myself clearly no matter what. People would simply decide who seemed more pitiful, and that person would becthe underdog even if he was wealthy, powerful, and physically healthy. Nicholas seemed to see through my intentions. His thumb pressed against the corner of my mouth as he slowly freed my lower lip from between my teeth.

Don't makefind any women for you. If you still want your father to live a bit longer, take care of him yourself, and don't make him angry!" "Fair enough." Nicholas chuckled while he gripped my shoulders. "It's in a man's nature to seek out women!" "I might not even approve of the women you find." He said, "But I'm curious about your taste. Why don't you helpdecide? If you like the woman, my father probably will too." Then, he grabbed my hand and started walking. Without givingany chance to refuse, he broughtto an upscale club.
Nicholas did not usually enjoy going out, but it did not mean he didn't know where to have fun.
I could not handle noisy environments at all, especially now that I was pregnant. My body was particularly sensitive, and I felt like my eardrums were about to burst.
I stopped walking as I did not want to take another step inside, but Nicholas had his arm around my shoulders.
He said mockingly, "The women in places like this are perfect for a brief encounter. I'll act quickly and get it over with. Then, you won't have to schwith my father anymore!" When the attendant at the door spotted Nicholas and me, his eyes lit up. He was smart enough to cand greet us enthusiastically.
"What brings you here? Such rare guests! Please, cin!" I still did not move. Nicholas had a taunting look on his face as he leaned in to whisper in my ear, "What's wrong? Didn't you want to find women for me? Are you jealous already?" My eyes felt strained. I stared at Nicholas without backing down. However, he took it all in without getting angry. Instead, he suddenly laughed.

He was a little confused about why Nicholas and I had shown up here in such a tense state. Plenty of men and women chere to have fun, but he had never seen a legally married couple coming together before.
Scratching his head, he had a sudden realization and slapped his thigh. "Oh, I get it! You and your wife are here to find someone, right? Just tellwho that is, and I'll help you look for them." en Nicholas straightened up. He smiled at the attendant in a gentlemanly manner. "No. My wife and I are here to broaden our horizons. She's just feeling shy." He draped his arm over my shoulders before pullinginside. He casually told the attendant, "Call a few girls over to have a drink with my wife."
The attendant squinted and smiled.
He gave Nicholas a meaningful look. "Lunderstand./Mr. Hawk, you're a E lucky man!"
I took a deep breath and said firmly, "Don't call over any of your workers. Get a few girls who are here to have fun. We'll make it worth their while!" Nicholas walked faster and faster. I almost had to jog to keep up with
him as he pulledalong. As soon m as we entered, he pushedagainst the door and kissedfiercely. en "You're so good to me, aren't you? You even made sure that I wouldn't do it with the workers here!" X
