Chapter 396: Hot Dramatic Position
"Why did you hide the truth from me all these years?" Arissa started the moment she stepped out of the dining hall
Nicklaus shut the door behind her and Mr. Adams feet walking towards the living room paused. The hairs on his arm stood in both happiness and unknown fright.
The feeling wasn’t a comfortable one.
Nicklaus walked towards Arissa. Pulling her sideway to himself, he placed a hand on her shoulder and rubbed tenderly on her skin.
"I think we should take a seat first," Mr. Aldams suggested not turning towards the couple. He proceeds toward the living room without waiting for their approval or disapproval.
Having no other choice, Arissa followed behind him. She stared at Mr. Adams’s back and wondered how many lies she would have to uncover about her whole life. At this point now, she would no longer be surprised if someone brought proof to say that Laura wasn’t her biological mother. Gently, Nicklaus made her to sit on one of the couches and he sat down beside her.
Mr. Adams occupied the couch opposite the couple. He rubbed his palms together and stared down at the floor.
"I never for once imagined a day like this, where I have to tell you the truth would come." He began, "The deal was for me to return to my maker with this secret and not say a word to someone else outside the deal,"
Arissa stayed quiet. She stretched herself to make herself comfortable on the couch and Nicklaus took her into her arms, creating comfort for her by himself.
