Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

I faked my surprise as I stepped up and waved at Harry warmly. Harry's body tensed up a little when he saw me, but I turned a blind eye to it.

I gave him a small hug, just like how I usually would when I was young, before tactfully standing back behind Nicholas. My actions were smooth and flawless, while my gaze was pure and innocent.

It was almost as if Pete and I were purely friends like there was nothing more than friendship between us.

When I grabbed Nicholas' arm and looked at him, I realized the amusement on his expression had faded as he looked at me coldly.

Nicholas looked at me coldly, no longer hiding his dissatisfaction. At that moment, his gaze felt like a sharp knife stabbing into my body.
