Chapter 372: Uncertain Feelings.
"Fuck!" Nicklaus cursed as he caught hold of his wife’s body before she reached the floor.
His heart drooped into his stomach when he saw Arissa’s body dropping to the floor. Out of reflex, he came out of his hiding and caught her body.
He arrived here a few minutes ago but decided to stay away when he heard her concerned with Jocelyn. The conversation left him speechless for a few minutes and was only able to bring a smile to his face when he heard Arissa’s confession about loving their child. He was proud of himself for being able to accomplish one of his highest goals after meeting her. He couldn’t ask for anything more when he heard her say that she already loved their baby even without meeting the child.
He decided to wait for Jocelyn to leave the kitchen before going in to apologize to her but to his greatest surprise, he ended up seeing her walking sluggishly toward his direction. When he saw her that way, he took a step towards her and he would tag that as the greatest step he has ever taken because the moment he took that step, she slumped down to the floor and luckily for him, he was there in time to grab her waist and stop her from having such drastic fall.
His breath trembled when he caught her and his heartbeat fastened. He knelt on one kneel and placed a deep kiss on her head, "I got you, Love,"
Arissa who felt a bit okay when he wrapped his arms around her, gave him a weak appreciative smile before shutting her eyes. Nicklaus dropped another deep kiss on her head and shut his eyes. He buried his face into her hair and relaxed his racing heart before turning his face to the other body in the kitchen.
Nicklaus fixed a strong gaze at Jocelyn. His gaze visibly asked her to thank her stars that nothing happened to his wife.
Jocelyn dropped her gaze to the floor in understanding. She understood his reason for getting mad as she had also been careless. She wouldn’t have taken Arissa’s words to be able to support herself so seriously.
Nicklaus carried Arissa properly in his arms and left the kitchen. Jocelyn hurried behind them.
