Chapter 200
Nicolas's eyes turned cold, "Move"
His tone was unfriendly. His strong aura made Stephanie lose her confidence. She did not dare to look him in the eye. She relied on the unwillingness in her heart to forcefully hold on to the door frame.
"Since you saved me, it means that I still have a place in your heart. You won't abandon me... Tears welled up in her eyes.
The sympathy card had long annoyed Nicolas.
His attitude was firm. "You're right. For your brother's sake, I won't ignore you, but your threat of your death made me suddenly realize that I've been too indulgent to you all this time, Instead, I made you become like this. I'll say it one last time. My wife needs me now. Move His sharp expression made Stephanie panic and she subconsciously let go.
She clutched her chest as her entire body trembled. She cried aggrievedly, "I just came back from the gates of hell. At this moment, I need your company more than Thea!"
Nicolas ignored her and walked straight out the door. His determined back view made Stephanie lose control of her emotions again.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
She shouted at him hysterically, "If you choose to look for Thea, why are you still saving me? I might as well dier
As expected, the threat made Nicolas stop and look back at her.
Just as Stephanie thought that she had succeeded, a cold voice sounded. "Darwin, immediately arrange for people to guard Ms. Ralap 24/7. Also, find four maids to accompany Ms. Ralap whenever she goes take a shower or the toilet in case she does anything stupid" Darwin nodded. His execution was extremely fast, and a few bodyguards immediately arrived.
Convinced that Nicolas was not just threatening her, Stephanie broke down and screamed, "No, Nicolas You can't do this to me! Come back..."
Nicolas was even stingy enough to give her another look. He left immediately.
Stephanie planned to use self-harm in exchange for Nicolas's attention and pity, Before she could do it, she was held down by the bodyguards.
She even wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but someone would grab her cheeks first. She could only wail in despair and pain.
There was no sympathy in Darwin's eyes. He said coldly, "If you hadn't pushed your luck and caused trouble, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Ms. Ralap, you brought this on yourself
When Nicolas found Thea, she had just helped Joyce out of Corey's car and was preparing to enter the hotel
The Maybach's horn caught their attention.
The car window rolled down, revealing a cold and handsome face.
Thea said, "Joyce, follow them up first. I'll look for you later"
Joyce said, "Nicolas must have heard about you being at the Rowand family and was worried. In fine. Have a good chat

with him."
After bidding farewell. Theo opened the passenger door and sat beside Nicolas
It was strangely quiet in the car.

Nicolas took the initiative to break the silence. "You just said a few hours ago that you wouldn't cause trouble for the Hendrix family. You're indeed a person of action."
If it were anyone else, they would have turned to Nicolas since he had money and power. However, Theo would rather cooperate with a shady organization than ask him for help.
Sensing his strange tone, Thea subconsciously clenched her fingers. She thought to herself, 'If I don't leave a backup plan for myself, should I count on you who love another woman instead
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but her grievances were covered by her tough attitude. "It's what I should do."
She looked really calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"You..." He wanted to tell her that she should not be so distant from him.
The topic was quickly changed by Thea. "How is Ms. Ralap? She was so anxious this afternoon. She must have something important that she needs you for. Everything is fine on my side. Nicolas, don't you need to spend more time with her?" Nicolas suddenly looked at her and said unhappily, "Do you really want to push me to another woman so badly? Thea, what about you? Do you really not need me at all?"
In an instant, the conversation between Stefan and her appeared in Thea's ears.
Nicolas frowned. "Thea, answer me."
Thea asked, "So, that's why you're unhappy to see me today?"
Nicolas's pupils constricted slightly, and his eyebrows relaxed a lot, "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at him. "Nicolas, do you... like me?"
Her question was straightforward.
After blurting it out, Thea's face instantly turned red, and her gaze became shady.
She knew that she was not a shy person, but in the face of Nicolas, she always seemed to be possessed.
She thought, 'He wouldn't think that I am a casual woman, would he?
'Maybe I should have asked the question differently? At least it wouldn't have been as awkward as it is now.
'What should I do? Should I say something?"
Her hands that were rubbing her fingers betrayed her nervousness. Nicolas saw it and an imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on his lips, as if he was not so angry anymore. -He said, "Thea, look at me
His deep and cold voice pulled Thea back from her thoughts. She did as he said in a daze and met Nicolas's unfathomable black eyes
He looked at her for a moment and asked seriously. "What if I say yes?
? What will you do?"

Chapter 200.
Her heart skipped a beat
Thea felt that he was truly cunning. Not only did he not give a direct answer, he even threw a question to her. It was as was a veteran in love.
She thought. Did he learn this flirting ability from Stephanie?
was as if he
At the thought of this, she was in a bad mood. Her shy blush faded a lot, and a layer of coldness gradually covered her face. Nicolas observed her carefully and naturally did not miss that. What are you thinking about? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Thea did not want to talk to him anymore, but the more she thought about it, she felt more upset.
Since she had already said so much, she felt that Nicolas must have understood her intentions. Thea felt that he should open up by then.
After thinking this through, she took a deep breath and felt that she was terrifyingly strong. Caught off guard, she leaned her body towards Nicolas and placed her hand on the driver's door
She said. "You haven't answered my question just now. Nicolas, know that we're in a contractual marriage. I shouldn't have fallen for you, but every time you support me, care for me, and clean up my mess.
"Even though I know that you might only be interested in me because I'm your wife in name, I can't help but be attracted to you. I'm greedy for this feeling, and I can't help but rely on you
Thea's eyes unknowingly turned red, and her voice became even more choked up.
She knew that if she took the initiative to expose her emotions, the worst outcome would definitely hurt her, but she did not want to hide it anymore.
She felt that it was better to be honest.
She controlled her emotions that were on the verge of losing control and looked into his eyes stubbornly. "Nicolas. I admit that I like you. What about you? You..."
Her cheeks were cupped without warning. Nicolas's facial features magnified in front of her eyes, disturbing Thea's thoughts
His kiss was hot and restrained, tempting her.
