His Toxic Addiction-Chapter 384: Precious Gift.

Mrs. Wyatt ran her fingers through Arissa’s hair, gently massaging it as she hummed a soft tune.

The more she hummed, the more Arissa’s face became softer. When Arissa’s expression turned comfortably soft and like one in a deep slumber, she reached for her phone and dialed Nicklaus’s number.

"Arissa is fast asleep, please come and take her to the room to lie properly," she said the moment the call connected. She kept her words straight and hung up immediately.

At the other end, Nicklaus placed the files he was holding to review on the desk and walked towards the door of his study.

"I’ll be back in a few minutes," he said to Mr. Wyatt as he walked towards the door. He reached for the doorknob and walked out of the study.

Mr. Wyatt nodded, "It’s fine," he said behind Nicklaus. Not that Nicklaus heard as he was already long gone, using fast strides.

Arriving in the living room, his steps relaxed when he saw him. He walked toward the couch she slept on with a soft expression. Her side profile looked beautiful and he loved the sight of it.

He kissed his mother’s left cheek, nodded gently at Rue, and gave the cat a side harsh glance before fixing his eyes and whole concentration on the woman who added happiness to his whole existence.

She made his life worth it and now, she carried their child. He has nothing to give to her for completing them. A child blessing them with her presence was everything he would ever ask for. Finally, he has gotten a physically beautiful world and not the dark ones that exist in his mind when he’s all alone.

Gently kneeling before Arissa, he stretched his hands out and cradled her in his arms. Slowly, he carried her straight and proceeded to leave. A step forward, Arissa wriggled in his arms, a small frown plastered on her face as if in discomfort.

Nicklaus paused at her reaction. He sat on the couch and waited for her to relax fully in his arms.

When she relaxed fully in his arms, Nicklaus turned to his mother and pleaded, "Mother, please prepare something healthy for her, and also, I want you to join Rue at the mall and get her more comfy wears. Her closet would be too strict for the baby,"

Mrs. Wyatt smiled at him. She gave him a small nod and he turned to Rue. Rue did the same and when he was assured by both of them, he released a low exasperated sigh and walked away with Arissa.

He smiled when he realized she gained a little weight. It gladdened him so much that he couldn’t help but bring her face closer to his and brush his lips against hers.

He leaned away, stared at her as if staring into her eyes, and muttered, "I love you, Arissa. Thank you for this precious gift," and began to climb up the staircase.

Arissa mumbled some incoherent words in her sleep and weakly dropped her hand from his neck. Nicklaus stared down at her with love, he smiled, shook his head, and walked into the elevator.

Getting to their room hallway, he turned to his room door, rather than hers. Placing his thumb on the door scan, the door pulled open and he walked in with her.

Gently, he walked to the bed and laid her on it. To be honest, he kind of missed his room. For a few days now, he had been spending all of his nights with her.

Nicklaus wrapped his hands around her waist possessively and dropped kisses filled with love on her shoulders.

Arissa’s hand searched around her body and landed on Nicklaus’s own across her waist. "Nick, I love you," she said in her sleep and went into deeper slumber. She stretched her legs and pushing herself backward, she went closer to where the source of comfort came from.

Nicklaus froze for a moment when he realized she said that from her sleep. His hand on her trembled and immediately, he felt hot liquid rolling down his eyes. He arched from the bed a little and pressed a kiss on her ear.

"I love you and our little princess more," he whispered into her ears, "Lord, thank you so much," he took in a soft gulp filled with emotions.

Unknowingly to him, his hot liquid fell on Arissa’s face and tickled down to her eyes and unconsciously, he disturbed her sleep, causing her to keep her eyes open.

Arissa frowned and then her expression became worried. Her expression changed from a slight frown to worry real quick when she felt a hand around her waist.

That hand around her waist meant one thing. For the hand to be around her waist so intimately means it belongs to Nicklaus.

She frowned slightly and softly rubbed his hand. "What happened, Nick? Did someone make you mad?" she asked but Nicklaus did not reply. Rather, he kept mute and remained frozen.

He was surprised she woke up.

Hearing no reply from the man at the other end, she gently turned around to face him. His face fell directly on her chest when she turned and he hid himself. It was his means to hide from her or better still, distract her.

"Hubby," Arissa teased him warmly, trying to peer at his face. She tried to lift his face from her chest but he also refused.

She gave up on how to raise his face and began to comb his hair with her fingers, "Your tears were so hot when they left your eyes,", she told him in deep thought.

"I’m so sorry I woke you up," Nicklaus apologized from her chest, "I never meant to, it was an accident, please go back to sleep,"

"Nick," Arissa smiled and relaxed on the headboard, trying to sit up with him, "Please feel free to speak to me," she pushed backward to sit but Nicklaus held her waist steady.

Nicklaus did bit say a word to her. Rather, he helped her to lie down properly before raising her gown to expose her stomach. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

He kissed her stomach and rested softly on it, "Let’s not speak. Please don’t even move, just hug me and let us remain this way for a moment," tears left his eyes and dropped on her stomach, "Please,"
