Chapter 190: She Wants Her Husband Back.
Arissa relaxed her head on the car headrest in thought as she pondered over Jocelyn’s words. She never expected such a reaction from Jocelyn but she saw sense in what her friend said and advised.
It surprised her that Jocelyn understands Nicklaus more than she does. Now she understood why he was that way this morning.
Thinking about it, what had he expected her to say? If she had said how he made her feel last night, she would have ended up giving herself away.
Everything he does leaves her in awe and she can’t tell him that. Not yet until she understands her feelings. She doesn’t want to look like a fool before him by telling him some random words.
To be on the safer side, she decided to say the opposite of how she truly felt. She can’t explain how he does it but around him and with him, she always felt safe and protected.
The urge to show her vulnerable side to him was also there as she always felt comfortable and supported around him. But her mountains of defense wouldn’t let her.
She felt a thousand things for him, both negative and positive but she don’t want to look like a fool saying them all to him.
She can’t tell yet how she makes him feel and without being sure of it, she can’t let him know how she truly feels about him.
Though she just realized she sounded harsh, he was also wrong to ask her such a question when....when they, when they haven’t_ fuck! She no longer knows how to justify herself that she wasn’t so wrong to warrant such a reaction from him this morning.
She walked down the car the moment Lukas opened the door for her. She gave him a light absent-minded nod before walking further with the bags in her hand.
The whole company floor was quiet with only cleaners around. She gave a light nod to the few who recognized her with a bow.
