Sighing lightly, she turned around and prepared to leave, and as soon as she lifted her foot, her hand was enveloped in a sensation of warmth. When she turned her head, she saw that he had opened his eyes at some point, and his large hand was gripping her small hand."Aren't you going to say anything after spying for so long?" He looked up, his cold eyes fixed on her face with a hint of tiredness. "Have you been awake for a long time?" Clarice was surprised for a moment and then reacted, but Nicholas didn't answer her, he just loosened the hand that held hers, and leaned back and lifted the thin blanket that covered his body behind the chair.He looked at the cup of tea she brought him, lifted the cup, and opened the lid. A medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel refreshed just by smelling it."I just brewed it. It's very hot, be careful." Clarice thought Nicholas wanted to drink the tea, so she gently reminded him, but as soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly t
On the next day, early in the morning, Clarice woke up, prepared breakfast for Bryan and Nicholas, and waited downstairs for them to wake up. Nicholas was used to waking up early every day, and when he woke up, he saw Clarice sitting on the sofa."Why didn't you make breakfast?" He asked, clearly annoyed."Sorry, if I remember correctly, yesterday you said my role here is to take care of Bryan and make him happy, but those two things have nothing to do with whether I prepare breakfast or not. So, it's not my job to want to prepare breakfast." Clarice sat on the sofa and said without raising her head.Nicholas never thought that after just one night, she would really dare to speak to him like this, as if he were a completely different person. He frowned secretly and was about to have an outburst of anger, but then Bryan rubbed his sleepy eyes and came down the stairs. As he walked, he murmured."Mommy, I need to pee…" Seeing this, she felt as if she had seen her savior, she immediately
Mother and son were leading their way to love upstairs, while downstairs, a black Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the door, it was Olivia accompanied by her governess, Julie, when they entered the door. Upon entering, she saw the two nurses sitting in the living room, having coffee, and saw the toy cart placed next to the living room, which made her even more intrigued, and when the two nurses saw that someone had arrived, they immediately stepped forward, and one of them turned to go upstairs to inform Clarice about the visit."Madam, may I ask whom you are looking for?" Another nurse, Lendinez, stepped in front of Olivia and asked. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Olivia didn't answer her question but asked her instead.Before Lendinez came here, she signed a secret agreement, and there was something written in it, a clause so that no one would know what she was doing here. Furthermore, he was also sick, so Nicholas definitely did not want his existence to be known by anyone. But L
"Madame, President Murray is on his way home and asked you to wait a bit. If there's anything you'd like to say, say it after he returns." Downstairs, after Lendinez hung up, she said to Olivia that when she heard Nicholas was rushing home at that moment, she became even more suspicious. She didn't want to wait any longer, so she ordered the maid."Go up and take a look." The maid immediately reached out and pushed Laila aside. "Good dogs don't block the way, don't block me." She pushed Laila until her body staggered and fell on the stair railing, and seeing that she couldn't block her, she followed her up the stairs.After the maid went up, she went straight to the master bedroom, as if she could sense what would happen in there. However, when she entered, she found the room clean and empty."I'm afraid what you're doing is inappropriate. If Mr. Murray finds out you opened his closet, he would be angry." Displeased, she was prepared to open the wardrobe, but seeing this, Laila interr
"All right, since there's nothing else to do here, let's go back, Julie!" Olivia was embarrassed by this scene. "Don't forget, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow!" She was getting ready to leave."I have things to take care of, so you don't need to wait for me for dinner!" He replied without looking at her."What? You're not coming tomorrow? But it's the day your grandfather passed away, are you going to leave me?" Olivia knew he was angry with her for coming here uninvited, and her face immediately fell."After I finish my work, I'll go to my grandfather's grave to pay my respects, but the days of having meals at home are over!" After Nicholas finished speaking, he turned and looked at Luna. "Please, accompany my mother and her maid to the door?""Yes, President!" Upon hearing this, Luna hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to stand in front of Olivia. "Madame, this way, please." Olivia's face was already pale, but due to the presence of a stranger, she just endured her anger
Nicholas, you don't understand... I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I didn't want you to think I was using the child as a bargaining chip. I thought you really loved her, after all, your relationship seemed so good and natural with her," she retorted."Seriously? So you're great, sacrificing your feelings to help me. What happened next? I asked about the child more than once, didn't I? What did you say to me?" Nicholas couldn't believe her explanation."When I found out Edward was your uncle, that's when I didn't dare to say the child was yours. Then, Miss Agnes came to me and told me about your marriage just to help her settle in Gebaude. Since this is your choice, of course, I must respect it.""Seems like you're really thinking for me," Nicholas mocked."I know I'm a fool, and I've done many wrong things, but no matter what I do, I never thought of hurting you."Even when she knew she had been 'abandoned' by him, the choice she made was to quietly withdraw."Idiot woman
"I didn't hit him, don't listen to his nonsense, Nicholas!" Clarice could hear the warning tone from the other end of the phone from a distance; she wanted to cry, but there were no tears as she explained."Dad, come quickly, mom really wants to hit me. Her expression now is so scary... Oh, come save me..." He realized his mother seemed to be afraid of his father and continued to provoke."Clarice, don't act recklessly. You're not allowed to touch a single hair on my son's head." Nicholas heard the slanderous words and immediately shouted to the other end of the phone.Clarice was so angry that when she stood up and was about to grab the little one, she didn't expect her vision to suddenly go pitch black, and her whole body fell heavily on the sofa."Mom, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly fall asleep?" Originally, Bryan was afraid that Clarice would attack and give him a good beating, but he found that her eyes were closed, and she had collapsed on the sofa, and he shouted in fear. O
"Bryan already asleep? Since I'm here, I better go see him!" said the doctor, and Nicholas looked at the rooms and nodded."Yes, he's sleeping, you better come back another day!" The doctor nodded, and after confirming there were no issues, he left.When Clarice heard the sound of the door closing, she thought Nicholas had followed them, so she got up and left the room, wanting to lock the door, but she did not expect to see him sitting on the couch as soon as she arrived in the living room, which surprised Clarice."You're still here?""I'm here? What do you mean?" He furrowed his brow slightly when he heard, and only now did Clarice realize her words were wrong.Wasn't this apartment his home? He came here, so it could be considered as coming back home."Actually, I mean, aren't you going back to the mansion?" In other words, she asked."Are you kicking me out?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone did not sound angry."No... I didn't mean that." She shook her head."Don't
