Chapter 102: High-Classed Smug
Nicklaus’s mood turned sour with each second they get closer to the airport Collins was at, but he decided not to show it and rather, he just looked ahead.
To him, he had perfectly masked his emotions but to Arissa, she saw all of it, and the tight scowl on his face was obvious to her.
"I mentioned that you don’t have to tag along. You could have just asked your guards to watch me around and report my ass to you and if possible, take a video of me and note all conversations I have with the people around," she suggested with deep sarcasm.
She had had enough of his unhealthy emotions. She tried to keep on with them, but ever since she meet up with him after visiting the hospital, his frown haven’t left his face.
’Why was he so pissed and irritated when he was the one that didn’t trust her enough and decided to tag along?’
Nicklaus turned to her and her stern expression was all it took for his scowl to soften a bit, "I would never do that Arissa. You can go anywhere with my guards and talk to anybody but right at this moment, I want to be around you while you give that doctor of yours his departure speech," thought his voice was not hard, it was easy to point out the dripping mistrust in them and Arissa doesn’t know if it was towards her or Collins. Probably, both of them.
"Oh!" Arissa nodded before turning back to the window, "That was a mistake," she remarked, opening up the kissing incident. No matter what happens, he’s her husband and what happened between her and Collins was never meant to happen.
"I know," Nicklaus agreed, fixing his whole attention on her again, "How is your arm?"
The affection his voice carried made Arissa forcefully swipe her head to him. Turning her head to him, she met his eyes that were already staring at her.
Arissa gave him an awkward look before turning back to the tinted glass. She turned suspicious and confidently sure that something is wrong with him or who knows, he got amnesia overnight and suddenly thought they were loving.
"Why did you get me those gifts last night?" she questioned as she ignored his question without turning to him.
