Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 455

After talking with Yasmine for over three hours, I finally left Jay Caldwell & Co.

Douglas handed me my phone, looking a little uneasy. "Ms. Jones, your phone has been vibrating non-stop."

"Oh?" I took the phone and checked. There were 48 missed calls.

I calmly gripped the phone and said to Douglas, "It's fine. Just take me to the hospital. I haven't had my injection today."

Douglas didn't object. As he went to get the car, I stood alone by the parking lot, lost in thought.

I never imagined Nicholas would call me, nor did I ever think there would be so many missed calls from him on my phone one day.

Just two months ago, I couldn't even get in touch with him. Every time I called, it was Claudia who answered.

I was indeed a bit angry back then. How could any woman stay calm if a man who was in bed with her disappeared abruptly? And on top of that, a new life had come into the world because of him.

As I was thinking, the phone in my hand vibrated again. I looked down at the phone. It was his 49th call. Suddenly, my eyes welled up. From the first call until now, it had been exactly three hours.

I had spent countless nights waiting for him, clutching my phone, and hoping for any word from him. I had waited through many of those "three hours", just like he had today.

If he weren't sick, I would love to ask him what it was like to wait in agony like that.
