Chapter 193: His Perfection.
With surprised emotion across his face, Nicklaus slowly took the glass of water away from her lips when she backed off the glass.
What have I done? He thought, his eyes darted between the glass of water he was holding and the woman before him.
He wasn’t able to accept he just fed a lady with no feeling of loathing running through his veins. His heartbeat fastened. It was so loud that he doubt it if Arissa haven’t heard it.
The sweet smile that was on Arissa’s face dropped and she forgot how to breathe seeing him so pale. "Nick," she immediately called him. His frozen expression scared her and the fact he kept on staring between her and the glass of water confused her.
Has he perhaps given her a liquid that wasn’t water? But that was water I had just drank, she thought.
Her hand stretched to take the glass from him but Nicklaus beat her to it first. He dropped the glass of water back on the table.
He picked up his cutleries and clenched his fork tight as some blurry images began to assault his mind and drown him.
He tried to keep them all in but it wasn’t possible. His face hardened and the comfortable air between them turned a hundred percent tensed.
"_Nicklaus," Arissa reached for his hand gripping his fork so tight, "What happened?" her voice sounded worried.
Propelled back to the reality of someone else before him and not his mother, Nicklaus blinked and his expression loosened up immediately.
"Arissa," he mumbled her name softly.
