Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0630

As soon as the words fell, the room was enveloped in a deathly silence.

"W-What did you just say?"

Nicholas gripped my shoulders and spun me around. I felt as if my body was about to fall apart.

His voice was hoarse as he let out a painful growl. "Say it again! How could this happen? I drank those tonics too!"

As I watched Nicholas's face shift from shock to confusion, my face turned pale. My breathing grew shallow as if I might disappear at any moment.

Would he believe me? Would he trust the woman who had once filled his childhood with warmth, or would he believe me instead?

"Say something!" After a brief daze, Nicholas seemed to grasp at a lifeline, shaking my shoulders desperately.
