Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0259

In the evening, just before bed, I heard scratching sounds at the door. I thought it was a lost kitten or puppy from somewhere, but when I opened. the door, I found Nicholas standing outside with his neck slightly arched. His Adam's apple was bobbing up and down, and his eyes were red and swollen. The smell of alcohol mixed with the humid air immediately enveloped me.

I took a step back and opened the door, and his body fell to the ground with a thud when he lost his support. He seemed not to feel any pain. He just stared at me blankly without saying a word.

He used to be more restrained, seldom indulging in smoking or drinking. I was more accustomed to looking up at him rather than from a vantage point where his despair, grievance, and confusion were so clearly visible. I heard him say, "I didn't mean to disturb you."

His voice was hoarse as he struggled to stand up. He leaned against the door frame with his head lowered, and, with a desolate smile, he said, "Close the door."

I couldn't see his expression, only the wet strands of his hair as he shivered from the cold. I sighed and said, "You should go back."

His voice was barely audible. "I drove here. I can't leave."

"How did you get here then?"

"I drove here."

I paused. Annoyed, I was about to close the door when he held it open with one hand. "Could you make me a cup of tea?"
