Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 542

We spent too long on the road, and it was already 11:00 p.m. when I reached home. I politely thanked Nicholas and got out of the car, waiting for him to leave. However, he also got out of the car.

"Let me walk you in."

I glanced up at the short distance ahead, wondering what there was to walk me in. It wouldn't even take 20 steps to reach the villa's entrance.

Just as I was about to decline, Nicholas had already started walking. Left with no choice, I could only follow behind him. He seemed more familiar with this path than I was.

He wasn't walking fast, but it didn't even take him a minute to cover the 20 steps.

"Open the door. I'll watch you go in," he said, stopping at my front door with one hand casually in his pocket.

"Fine." I lowered my head to unlock the door and added, "Tell Wendy to bring Tabitha back tomorrow night. She'll sleep with me."

"Goodbye."

I said my goodbyes and was about to close the door when a few fingers suddenly slipped through the crack. The door was pulled open a little.

The night wind tousled Nicholas' hair, but he didn't seem to notice. He stood outside with a hopeful expression.

"Can I stay here tonight? I'm afraid I won't be able to drive back, and something might happen on the way." Nicholas' voice was hoarse.

"Still upset?" I asked, looking away as I clutched the strap of my purse. My tone was indifferent.

"Yeah. I am," he admitted bluntly.

"You sure value your life," I said with a forced smile, stepping out of the doorway. "Move aside. I'll drive you home."
