Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0577

I was about to take Tabitha to kindergarten in the morning when two bodyguards stopped me at the door.

One of them looked apologetic and said that Tabitha and I weren't allowed to leave the house together. I could go out alone, but only Wendy, accompanied by the bodyguards, could take Tabitha to school.

I glanced back and saw Nicholas standing on the upstairs landing, his expression cold and indifferent. I knew it was all his doing.

Nevertheless, I didn't argue. There was nothing to say. No matter what I said, it wouldn't change the outcome.

Besides, given Tabitha's sensitive nature, any shift in my emotions would only make her anxious. Just as Nicholas often reminded me, we had to play the role of a loving couple in front of Tabitha.

I held her hand and waved at Nicholas. "Say goodbye to Daddy! Tabitha is off to school now!"

Tabitha's eyes stayed on Nicholas. She didn't say anything, but her gaze seemed to soften him. His expression grew noticeably gentler.

I handed her over to Wendy and grabbed my car keys. As I turned to leave, Nicholas called out, "Where are you going?"
