Nicholas felt like his heart had stalled despite its rapid pounding earlier. Ariana's words were so cold that they chilled him to the core.
Ever since he saw her photo online, he had meticulously arranged everything-down to the music festival, where he had Ms. Gardner coordinate with the organizers and artists. It had cost him not only tremendous effort but also a large sum of money. But no matter how much effort he put in, Ariana merely thought that his only intention was to sleep with her. Taking a deep breath, Nicholas closed his eyes and rolled over to the other side of the bed..
"Let's just sleep," he said, sounding exhausted.
Silence enveloped the room. I turned my back toward him. Once, I used to love sneaking into his arms. But now, the gap between us was so wide that it could fit two more people.
Even after closing my eyes, I couldn't shake off the image of Nicholas performing on stage tonight. I couldn't recall how he ledout of the venue-only his mesmerizing voice and kisses lingered in my mind.
A twinge of anguish prickled at me. This feeling gnawed at me, especially on sleepless nights where it only intensified and madefeel even more aggrieved.

There are plenty of ways tshow your affection to your wife, so you don't have to degrade yourself like this." Nicholas frowned. "Dad, take care of your health and stay off the internet. You don't need to worry aboutand Ariana." "I won't interfere as long as you givea grandchild..

Nicholas hung up with a heavy sigh.
He cover to my side of the bed, and I could sense him blocking most of the dim light filtering in from the window. He stood there for a long time.
Even though my eyes were closed, his imposing presence was weighing about to lose on me. Just as I was a e my resolve, he suddenly bent over and pressed a cold kiss to my forehead. "How can I get the Ariana who used to loveback?" Upon hearing this, I felt a surge of
pain coursing through my chest. The pain spread relentlessly throughout my body as he hung his head in defeat; not even noticing that I had opened my eyes. en Today's Bonus Offer X
