Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0572

The rain kept pouring, and it felt heavier where I stood. The droplets clung to me like a suffocating veil, making it hard to breathe.

Nicholas stood before me, looking almost innocent. "If standing here with you proves my sincerity, I'm willing to do it.'

Sincerity? How could anyone be so shameless? Threatening me with our child and daring to talk about sincerity! "Nicholas, I told you to leave!" My voice trembled with anger as I yelled.

A trace of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Where do you want me to go? This is the Coral Villa-our home. If anyone leaves, it'll be the two of us going inside together. I'm not leaving you out here alone."

Through the rain, I tilted my head slightly to meet his gaze. The sight of him made my eyes sting.

I didn't know if it was from the rain or from crying too much, but just looking at him brought a wave of sorrow so fierce it felt like it would drown me.

I curled my lips into a bitter smile and turned toward the door. I whispered, "You, Nicholas Hawk, will never deserve a family."

Behind me, a heavy sound echoed through the rain. Nicholas had dropped to his knees, his trembling arms barely holding him upright.
