Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0600

I didn't want to stay under the same roof as Nicholas, so I took my laptop and went to sit in the courtyard.

A while later, Nicholas found me. As he approached, the cool summer breeze swirled around him, carrying it to where he sat beside me.

"Tabitha finished eating, and her little belly's all round now," he said, a hint of pride in his tone. It was clear he was fishing for praise as if to say he could take excellent care of her.

I pretended not to hear and focused my attention on the laptop screen.

"Thank you for bringing Tabitha to me. The feeling of having someone in this world connected by blood is really incredible.'

His voice was a little more dejected. "I've done so many wrong things in the past, and I thought I didn't deserve to have children in this life."

Nicholas paused for a moment.

Seeing that I wasn't going to respond, he continued, "Do you know how excited I was when I first found out Tabitha was my child? I couldn't sleep for two days. I practically wore out the report, afraid it was fake. Those days, I couldn't stop smiling. Just thinking about it made me grin."
