Chapter 293: Bedtime Story.
Seconds ticked by and slowly, it became an hour ever since Mrs. Wyatt left Arissa all alone in her room, after giving her some words of comfort and encouragement.
Arissa’s heart was heavy as she lay down on her bed, staring out her window in thought. She kept on wondering about what Mrs. Wyatt disclosed to her and it increased her fears of having kids.
She began to ask herself if all parents are the same. Her parents are monsters and going over to Nicklaus’s mother, she does not know what to name the woman as, and for fuck sake, why would Nicklaus call that woman his first love?
After hurting him as heavily and damaging him as she did, Nicklaus had love for her. Was he alright?
Arissa believed he must have been still little when he experienced all of these. It made her put herself deeply into his shoes and she began to understand and see reasons why he said no one would ever love him.
She clenched her chest when she remembered him questioning her if she could love a man like him. Had she known, she would have been honest with him that night and stopped him from feeling whatever negative way he felt.
Her train of thinking paused when a knock came through from her door. Her brow furrowed and she listened attentively.
Slowly, she heard her door pushed open, and she immediately caught a wind of who it could be. Knowing who it was, she instantly shut her eyes, pretending to be fast asleep.
She can’t face him, at least not now.
