Chapter 223

"I do," Nicolas said difficultly. It was not because it was against his will, but Thea's pale and thin face made him pity her.

He added, "I've already stopped the source of the rumors online Thea, you don't have to care about them. If you really feel terrible, you can cry in my arms."

He hugged her with his large arms, his movements loving and careful. His palm rubbed against the fine and soft hair on Thea's head.

Only at this moment could Nicolas truly feel Thea's existence.

He said, "I was too careless. I didn't even notice such a big thing in advance. Thea, I hope you can give me a chance... to compensate for the harm this matter has caused you." Nicolas's gaze was too sincere. If not for the sweet fragrance of flowers and fruits that belonged solely to Stephanie, Thea would definitely be immersed in the warnith of this moment. The lingering fragrance made her nervous.

Thea used all her strength to pull away from Nicolas. "Where were you just now?"

Nicolas couldn't answer her.

He felt that it was definitely not a good time to tell Thea about Vergil 's child.

His stuttering made Thea nervous. She asked, "You just went to see Stephanie, right?"

Her face turned cold. "You said that you believe that the child is ours, but you still want to protect the murderer who killed our child..."

"Thea, calm down. Don't hurt yourself." Nicolas tried his best to comfort her.

However, it was useless. Every sentence was like rubbing salt into Thea's wound.

He said, "I hate her too, but now is not the time to deal with Stephanie... Believe me, I will definitely make her pay the price

Thea did not believe a word Nicolas said. She asked, "Why do you have to protect her at this time?"

She clenched her fingers into her palms until it was bleeding, but she did not notice it. "If now is not the time, how long do I have to wait before I can avenge my child?"

Nicolas rarely saw her emotions shown in her eyes.
