Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas)
Chapter 0329

Chapter 0329

In truth, I did not have any right to reprimand Nicholas After all, I knew better than him about what it was like to act first and think later.

I never thought there would be a day where I stopped loving Nicholas after loving him for so many years.

When I pressed a sharp blade against my neck, I also never thought I would cut an artery because of my shaky hands.

Back when I agreed to date Pete, I also never thought that there would be a day where we would be separated before getting together officially. Humans would always have a reason for every choice that they make. However, they would have to bear the consequences of their actions too. "Yes. You're right."

I hummed in response as I disinfected his wounds. My movements were swift as I focused on bandaging

his hands.

"I'm only impulsive when it comes to you."

I paused momentarily when I heard his words. Suddenly, I felt like the wounds on his hands weren't deep enough. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing if he was in extreme pain.

His wounds were wrapped in gauze and bandages, but the wounds in my heart could no longer be healed. They had already passed the point of treatment. Not to mention, Nicholas was not the medicine I needed. I rewrapped his wounds and said, "Nicholas, don't do meaningless things."

My voice was slightly choked with sobs, so I cleared my voice and continued, "I've finished bandaging your wounds. Be careful to not let it come into any contact with water. If you're home, you should ask Wendy to come over. "I'll be busy with the law firm for the time being, so I won't be back for lunch and dinner here for the next few days."

I slowly walked toward the door. Just as I was about to leave, Nicholas suddenly stopped me.

"Ariana, I want you," he said.

I turned around and looked at Nicholas who was still sitting on the sofa. I didn't understand what he was trying to imply by saying that. He clearly didn't want me back when we were on the bed. "You can have me anytime you want. I'm yours."

Since he had helped me with Pete's situation, our "deal" naturally came into effect.

Nicholas and I were currently divorced, so I had no idea wh

cholas was thinking by keeping me here.

Did he see me as his mistress? Or maybe he saw me as something else.

Nevertheless, I didn't know, nor did I care.

I looked down at my tote bag and asked, "Can we do it later tonight? I've already gotten ready, and I'm about to head out now?"

Nicholas shook his head, and I tightened my grip around the straps of my tote bag. Even if I knew he was doing it on purpose, I did not have any excuse to reject him.

I only felt slightly defeated, and I would probably have to shower again too.

Nicholas watched as I put down my bag and felt infuriated. He didn't think Ariana should act so submissively

But at the thought that Pete would no longer be in Ariana's life, he felt like he could be more patient with her and give her more time.

He calmed himself down and said, "I want you to want me, just like how you did before."

Like before? He didn't want me back when I had wanted him. I knew he didn't plan on sleeping with me now. So, I opened the door and said, "I don't think that would be possible."

Nicholas chased after me and intertwined his fingers with mine. "I'll send you there."

I didn't answer him, but I kept telling myself that Nicholas and I never had a so-called "before".

Nicholas' hand was injured, so he couldn't drive. So, his driver came over, and he shoved me inside of his car. He pulled me into his embrace and lifted the separator between the back seat and the driver seat. Nicholas pressed his forehead onto my face, and he seemed to be slightly breathless. When he looked up, he politely asked for my permission.

"Can I kiss you?"

At that moment, I knew, he just saw me as a challenge and wanted to conquer me.
