Chapter 79: Kiss me!
Nicklaus did not react when she rested on his chest. He took in a deep breath and tried to breathe normally as his breath turned stiff the moment she rested on him like she felt secure with him.
Arissa rubbed her head on his chest like a cat looking for comfort from its owner. She was feeling dizzy but there was something still digging her into her mind that even in her drunk state, they still resurfaced and refused to leave.
"Tell me, are you mad about the scandal?" she asked again from his chest and her ear stood still for answers.
Nicklaus drew in a breath. From their height difference, he had the privilege to look at the top of her head at the position they were in right now.
And he did that. He started at the top of her head, trying to figure out if it was the alcohol talking or if it was his wife talking.
After a little silence, he decided to risk it and stop acting nonchalant. Whereas she was deeply drunk and when morning comes, she would forget he said something like that.
"What would change if I say yes?"
"Huh?" Arissa blinked at his chest and then, she turned a little cold remembering something.
Nicklaus felt the change of aura but he cared less. During the time he spent with her at the club, no one need to talk to him about her alcohol tolerance, and with wine as strong as this, he has nothing to be scared of - right?
Arissa took her face off his chest and stood independently, a step away from him and then, she swayed forward and held his tie, "You don’t have to care Nicklaus. I’m your wife and yet, we live as strangers do," she seethed and the harmless tie holding turned into a strong grip. She supported herself with his tie so she would stand well and unknowingly, she strangled him.
Nicklaus frowned when she held his tie that way and to save himself first, he took a step closer to her to reduce the risk of her grip.
