Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0119

In the end, we didn't get to go to the police station, but Nicholas and I didn't do anything other than the kiss we shared in the car.

Today, Claudia didn't go to school at all. She intended to spend some private time with Nicholas, only to be interrupted by Francis.

Since Nicholas chose to pick me up from the firm, Claudia was extremely resentful toward me. Over dinner, she made so much noise with her cutlery just to vent her frustrations.

Then, she chose to lash out at me. "Ariana, Nicholas is exhausted from his work every day. Can you stop causing trouble for him?

"It's your freedom to have your own job, but you're still Nicholas' wife at the end of the day. Can you stop making Nicholas' life even more tiring and difficult?"

I was about to grab myself some salad from the salad bowl when I heard Claudia's outburst. My fingers rubbed the fork I was holding, albeit longingly, before I set everything I held down. Nicholas narrowed his eyes slightly. He put down his cutlery as well.

Everyone wanted their families to be harmonious. Even if there were any disputes in the family, it'd be distasteful to bring them up at the dining table.

Of course, such action was definitely banned in the Hawks' household. It was a part of the family teachings that were passed down from generation to generation. But Claudia had broken that rule today.

"I'm sorry." I lowered my gaze and apologized immediately before Nicholas could say anything. "Claudia is right. I'm at fault for not considering all the factors.

"I'll wire 5,000 dollars into your account as your allowance. If that's not enough, I'll wire more money into your account."

"Ariana!" Nicholas frowned deeply, his eyes narrowed dangerously. "You should-"
