If everything's ready. I'll have it brought to you." Nicholas gave a slight nod, and the doctor quickly left the room.
Now that we were alone, I couldn't help but feel a little awkward being held so close by him. I pulled his hands away, shifting to the side. I then sat up and fixed my gaze on him.
"Nicholas, we're divorced. Don't let anyone call'Mrs. Hawk' anymore." Once bitten, twice shy. Although I had confirmed my marital status when I went abroad, I was still uneasy. I feared that the painful memories might disappear like a dream, with no evidence left behind.

I didn't understand the meaning behind his faint laugh, but I knew I shouldn't stay in this uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Where's Tabitha? We should go." "Go?" Seeingfinally awake, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Yet, I talked about leaving. This was my home. Where could I go?

By now, the garbage truck has probably taken her to the incineration plant." "Nicholas, are you even human?" I broke free from his grip, frantic. "Let go of me! I'm going to find Tabitha! His grip tightened, his lips pressed into a thin line as he remained silent. He couldn't lose his temper with me, but seeing the way my eyes widened with panic made his heart ache.
I glared at him, grinding my teeth in frustration. He was sitting there, quiet, and it only mademore furious.

As we were on the bed, Nicholas didn't worry about hurting me. He преднат only had to exert a intle force to shift my body and pindown under him.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he leaned down, his breath brushing my cheek. The warmth of his breath madeshiver. His gaze was burning with desire, but how could he think about that now? "Nicholas, you're crazy!" His deep voice murmured words that barely seemed to matter.
"I'm not crazy. I just don't care. She is not my daughter-she can go wherever she wants.
He finished his sentence, propping himself up slightly. He looked atwith his dark eyes, as if trying to unearth shidden truth.
