Chapter 0108
Nicholas stormed off in anger. I got out of bed, took another shower, and dried my hair. By 3:00 a.m., he still hadn’t returned. I wasn’t waiting for him. I just couldn’t sleep.
Coral Villa was quiet at night without the presence of housekeepers. But I wasn’t afraid. I slipped on a coat and went downstairs.
The chill was biting, and the wind whipped through my clothes, making me shiver like the flowers in the garden. I looked up at the moon. Before long, I heard footsteps behind me.
“Waiting for me?”
Nicholas squeezed the back of my neck from behind. I tilted my head to look at him.” Honey, isn’t the moon beautiful?”
I blinked at him, adding, “We’ve never looked at the stars together.”
I meant to make small talk, but my emotions got the better of me. I felt a tear welling up in my eye.
There were so many things Nicholas and I had never done together, especially little romantic gestures. I had never received any of that from him.
“Hmm. It’s alright.” His fingers tangled in my hair, and he said dismissively, “Let’s go. back and get some sleep.”
After standing up, I walked around the bench to his side and linked my arm with his.
You’re so warm.
I pressed closer to him as if he were the ultimate temptation for me. Nicholas. frowned, clearly unaccustomed to my sudden assertiveness.
He tried to pull his arm away, but I held it tightly against my chest, so he gave up.
I knew my chest was soft and that Claudia, with her slender frame, was no comparison to me. Men were usually quite honest. From his gaze, I could tell he liked. my body.
In the past, I was always conscious of my image. Even when I wanted to cuddle him, I would ask for his permission. But now, I didn’t care. I wanted my eyes to become
whirlpools, drawing Nicholas in with just one glance.

I shrugged my stiff shoulders and smiled up at him. “A long time. It’s really cold, so you should hold me tighter.”
When the kiss ended, I lay in his arms, breathless, with my legs feeling weak. He carried me and said hoarsely, “Let’s go back to bed.”
