Chapter 1282


    “Is there a rule saying that I’m not allowed to be shy just because I’ve had two of your children?”


    Tessa shot the man with a side-eye, but the smile on her face was filled with joy and contentment.


    Nichs gazed at her lovingly.


    “You’re right, honey. There’s no rule saying you can’t get shy.” He gently pulled the woman into his


    arms before he nted a soft kiss on her pale lips.

    Nichs felt like his insides turned to jelly the moment he felt the gentle touch of her lips. He was


    grateful that he didn’t lose the love of his life.


    Tessa’s eyes twinkled when she next looked at him, and he leaned in close to whisper into her ear.


    “I’m so d you’re alive.” Tessa shut her eyes and rested her head against Nichs’ chest after


    hearing his words.


    “You must have been really shocked by what happened,” she mumbled. “Yeah. I nearly lost you,”


    Nichs uttered as he rubbed his chin against the top of her head.


    His arm muscles tensed in response to the topic of their conversation, but he was careful with the


    strength he applied with his grip as he didn’t want to hurt her. “My heart squeezed when I saw you in a


    pool of blood. I had never felt such fear in my life.”


    Nichs’ voice was shaking as he recalled the scene of the car ident. He could still remember


    everything in great detail. “The doctor said that you had lost too much blood and wouldn’t be able to


    give birth to the child.


    He asked me if I wanted to save you or the child, and I immediately told him to save you at all costs!


    We can always have another baby in the future, but I’d lose everything if I lose you…”


    Nichs held Tessa in his arms as he told her what he had experienced throughout that day. His


    gestures and actions revealed how anxious and frightened he had felt during the incident.


    Tessa felt an ache in her chest as she heard his words. She reached her arm out to hold onto Nichs’


    waist. “I can’t bear to leave you alone. I promised that I’d grow old with you, and I’m nning to keep


    that promise,’ she reassured. him.


    “Yeah. You promised. That was why I held onto my faith in you the whole time. I was sure you wouldn’t


    abandon the kids and me.” Nichs gave Tessa a tight hug before he let out a soft chuckle. “I’m d


    you didn’t break your promise. Despite his calm tone, Tessa could still feel his arm trembling as he held


    onto her waist.


    Tessa understood how shocked Nichs had been over this incident, so she patted his back tofort


    him. “I’m okay. Everything’s in the past now. It’s all fine now.”


    “You’re right. Everything’s okay. It’s all in the past. Nichs nodded before he lowered his head to kiss


    her hair. Both of them chatted for a while before Tessa realized how tired Nichs seemed. She felt


    sorry for the man. “I bet your didn’t get to rest much throughout this period, huh? Why don’t you sleep


    with me tonight?” she asked.


    “I’m fine. I just want you to get all the rest you need.” Nichs shook his head. He was worried that he


    would identally move around and injure Tessa while he was in his sleep. Tessa could tell what his


    concerns were, so she started whining in a child-like tone. “The bed is huge. You’re not going to press


    on my wounds. Furthermore, you really deserve a good night’s sleep,” she said.


    Nichs hesitated for a moment after hearing her words. When Tessa realized that he was being


    swayed, she added to her argument. “I actually just want you to sleep with me,” she uttered. Nichs


    no longer felt like he could reject her after hearing herst sentence. So, he ended up nodding in


    agreement.


    They washed up before Nichs climbed into bed and carefully cuddled up with Tessa. Perhaps he


    was tired, or perhaps he felt especially safe while holding Tessa to sleep- he fell into a deep slumber


    just moments after he rested his head on the pillow. Tessa could tell that the man had been overworked


    and exhausted when she heard his heavy breaths. Her heart ached at the sight of how tired he was.


    She rested quietly in the man’s arms as she traced the outline of the man’s face with her gaze. His


    features weren’t as sharp, youthful, and handsome as they used to be, but Tessa found him more


    attractive with his somewhat mature and weathered look. The stubble on his chin made him seem


    especially seductive.


    As she stared at the man, she was reminded of the man’s thoughtful and loving words earlier. “Thank


    you for having so much faith in me.. Thank you for trusting me,” she mumbled to him. After lying down


    for a while, she started to feel sleepy as well.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
