Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0576

Nicholas kept explaining in a low voice, "I really know I was wrong."

His words made my breath catch, and for a moment, it felt like my heart had stopped. I forced a light, mocking laugh. "So, does that mean you'll actually let me take Tabitha and leave?"

He pressed his lips together and shook his dizzy head, trying to clear his thoughts. But in the end, he said nothing.
