Fiancé Uncle 105

Chapter 105

Stephanie took a picture of herself sitting in the main seat of Nicolas office.

In the background. Nicolas was working on his laptop on the sol and there was a flower pot in the frame.

Stephanie: I was sick today, and he didn't have time to visit me but he specially bought me flowers. I'm going to confess my feelings to him soon, though I haven't prepared the gift yet. I think it'll definitely work.] Thea didn't respond right away. Instead, she stared at the photo for a long time, long enough for her eyes to sting.

Thea blinked and snapped out of it, looking again at Stephanie's message, which made her heart ache.

I'm the only one left in this world, and if I don't take care of myself, my brother in heave Hearing her mention her brother, Nicolas' expression softened.

He lifted his head, his gaze falling on the flowers in Stephanie's hand

Seizing the moment, Stephanie spoke. "I remember these are your favorite flowers. I passed by a florist and bought them just for you. Nicolas, don't ignore me, or I'll be really sad."

"Have your test r results come back yet? What did the doctor say?" he asked.

Stephanie's eyes dimmed, and she feigned nervousness. "The doctor said everything's fine, probably just exhaustion and poor eating lately, which caused the sudden stomach pain. Nicolas, you're always busy too. I think you need to get a check-up, especially a full- body exam."
