Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 614

The entire trip to the hospital felt unusually silent because of the small incident this morning.

Nicholas sat stiffly in the car, his lips pressed into a tight line as he buried himself in work on his phone. Not a word left his mouth.

Tabitha noticed the tension between us right away. Her little head buried itself in my arms, clearly uneasy. She seemed a little scared as she tried to distance herself from Nicholas.

Once she felt safe, she stayed still like a little quail.

I had no choice but to nudge him, but Nicholas was like a statue, without any reaction.

However, the subtle twitch of his temple betrayed his emotions. He was irritated but forced himself to hold it in.

I didn't understand why he was so angry. He wanted to forget the past, so why bring up the painful memories again? Or was there something he wanted to remind me of?

I couldn't help but recall what Claudia had said in the ward. Was he angry because he remembered how I had hurt him in the past?

My fingers traced along the straight line of his pants, slowly moving toward the hand he had resting on his knee.

Just as I felt the muscles in his thigh tense up, I realized how inappropriate my actions had been.

I instinctively pulled my hand back, but his clenched fist immediately relaxed, and he grabbed my hand tightly.

Nicholas glanced at me. His bloodshot eyes were full of helplessness and hurt which almost suffocated me. I froze, unsure how I should respond to him.

I forced myself to stay still. But under his piercing gaze, I gave him a somewhat ingratiating smile and silently mouthed, "Comfort her."

Seeing them interact as they used to, I felt a little relieved. But there was still a knot in my stomach from holding his hand.

When we got out of the car, Nicholas picked up Tabitha and stepped out first. As I walked toward him, he instinctively took my hand.

I glanced up at his profile and let him lead me. Nicholas had already made prior arrangements, and someone was waiting for us at the entrance.
