Chapter 344: Fate Plays Nasty.
Geal chuckled alongside her laughter. He never had chances to tease Nicklaus all the years they were together while growing up and now, the chances are unlimited and he does not want to stop.
The feeling he gets from teasing Nicklaus feels so great. He wishes Mrs. Wyatt was here to experience him teasing her aloof son. They all thought it would never have happened.
Well, a lot of things going on in Nicklaus’s life now weren’t predicted and they are all happy about the changes.
Geal sighed dramatically, "Well, for your sake, I won’t give him high charges. I want my niece and nephews to eat good meals before and after their arrival," he sounded considerate even if he can’t wait to laugh his ass out.
Much to Geal’s disappointment, Nicklaus did not react to Geal’s words. He only took the lid off the plate before him and stared at the meal provided on the plate. He has never tasted Geal’s meal since Mrs. Wyatt cooks great and he never saw it as something he should have done. To him, eating home-cooked meals prepared by a guy friend felt like they were practicing gay for some unknown reasons.
Thinking back at how far he had come and the changes he had undergone, Nicklaus realized that indeed he never saw any of the things he just accomplished coming. Soon he would stand before the priest in a chapel, waiting to take the hand of the woman he loves in his so they would seal the vows before God and man. Soon he would go on his honeymoon with her. Soon he would have someone to call him father. Soon he would help someone take his or her first step. Soon he would have kids running around the house. Soon he would have kids to jump all over him when he returned from work. Soon he’d become a granddad and soon, he’d grow old with the woman seated beside him.
All these soon weren’t part of the life he planned for himself. He never expected any of it but the woman beside him made all of them possible by walking towards him that night. The reason why he said she made it possible and not the contract arrangement was because the contract could be with anyone but the feelings he felt with her on the night they met can’t be felt with someone else. He felt pulls from her, she drew him in on that first night they met and those immediate pulls caused him to be overly gentle with her even when she steps on him.
Considering the fact he had never dreamt or wished for any of these, his whole heart loved her over and over again and his love for her deepened in seconds.
Fuck! He loves Arissa and she can’t understand how much he does. For the first time in his life, he demanded something from God again after a very long time. He requested something with faith from his long-forgotten creator and that which he asked was for God to grant him life to be able to take proper care of Arissa.
He does not wish anything else in this world than to make her happy. He would chase her happiness because her happiness was all he needed.
Nicklaus gazed at Arissa softly, ’Life isn’t fair,’ he thought.
