Chapter 191: Shattered Feelings.
While Arissa was nervous with her heart pounding in her chest widely, Nicklaus went ahead with the flash in both hands casually like he wasn’t concerned with the thick air between them.
With the flasks in his hands, he opened the sliding French door facing the couch Arissa was seated on. The opening revealed a well-equipped luxurious living room.
Nicklaus walked over to the mini dining table in the living room. Placing the flasks on the dining table, he provided two plates from the kitchen cupboard.
He went on and emptied both flasks into the plates before going about, providing cutleries and other things they would need.
Arissa’s breath caught in her throat as she watched him. She couldn’t help but admire his every move and the way the soft glow from the dimly lit living room highlighted his whole features.
And also, the way his eyes sparkled with intelligence. The fact he knew what he was doing surprised her. She quickly averted her gaze, reminding herself that it was these same feelings that made her say those harsh words to him.
It wasn’t the moment to get lost in that feeling so, she just looked away and wondered why he was setting the table. He was visibly still mad at her, she saw it through his eyes.
However, Arissa’s eyes fell on Nicklaus again. She wanted to catch a glimpse of the magnificent view before her. She admired him further and even how his brow furrowed when he started at the table to know if he was missing something was breathtaking.
Absentmindedly, she walked towards him with her heart slamming her ribcage. She leaned on the door, taking in a deep breath, "Nick," her voice was barely above a whisper but Nicklaus still heard her.
