Chapter 224: Find Herself, Someone.
Nicklaus came out of the bathroom the exact moment the topic changed to Collins. His feet glued to the floor with a frown, and his jealous side crawled out, turning his face darker than the worst storm.
Collins?
His heart pounded in his throat. He feared he might hear a hurtful confession from her. He wasn’t supposed to feel this way, Arissa turned Collins down. He watched the confession and if anything, Collins was far and he was the one around her but his heart wasn’t so convinced.
The conversation burned him. There was no bad blood between him and Collins, they were good but he can’t help his jealousy and uncertainty.
He decided to listen to the conversation if perhaps she might give an honest reply without his presence. He was disturbed in his heart, Jocelyn’s words stirred his feelings, playing with them, daring him to deny them.
’I’m a married woman,’ his heart skipped a thousand beats when Arissa said those words. The sweetness that came with her admitting to those words and letting them leave her lips was likely to give him a heart attack.
Fire blazed in his eyes hearing Jocelyn’s words to that. It seems he would never get along with this friend of hers.
’I have a husband. Let’s live in the reality that I have a husband with no different time zone,’ he heard her reply. His heart protruded followed by a chuckle leaving his lips.
His feet itched to move to her, pull her into a tight hug and take her away from here, keep her all to himself and not let Jocelyn ask her questions like that.
