Chapter 0122 It was a rather wild night for us. When I woke up, my mind was a complete mess.

When I asked Wendy what tit was, her answer maderealize that it was already the next day. This made e smack myself in the head in frustration.

Zachary had probably already been transferred to the detention center at this hour.

I quickly washed up and put on smakeup. The moment I exited my room, Claudia scooted over toright away, a malicious smirk. on her pink lips. I still caught it even though it faded away instantly. Claudia quickly slapped on an innocent expression. "Ariana, Nick Isn't home. I'd like to talk to you." This was Claudia's first ttalking toso seriously.

"Ariana, Nicholas toldthat I should live in Hawk Manor again. Did you get mad atfor taking over the master bedroom? Is that why you complained to Nick?" "Nope." I maintained a small smile the whole time. "This house belongs to Nicholas and I. We are husband and wife.

"The room we stay in will be the master bedroom. I'm fine with staying in the guest room. Feel free to take the master bedroom for as long as you want." "But Nick promisedthat he'd coaxto sleep every night. I can't sleep without him. You've had your hold over him for two nights now.

"Um... Has it been two nights already?" I blushed slightly.

Tseemed to pass awfully quickly whenever I had sex with Nicholas. Besides, my mind wasn't exactly clear most of the tduring those nights. I really felt that I didn't spend that much twith him. "Ariana Jones!" Claudia stomped her feet or calling out my full name. Her features were all deep frown.

You can ask him to coax you to sleep every night. began coming up with ideas for Claudia just like any understanding older sisters would.

"I don't want a boyfriend! I want Nick!" Claudia's eyes reddened immediately, looking as though she was about to cry. Anyone who saw her would instantly take pity on her.

I sniffled while covering my eyes with my arm as well. In fact, I looked sadder than Claudia.

I choked out, "Claudia, Nicholas needstoo. He can go wherever he wants, you know. There's no way I can chain him to myself. He's the one who offered to stay in the guest room with me. Claudia's chest began heaving rapidly. She was obviously triggered by my words. Was Nicholas that important to her? Was she that possessive over him that she couldn't stand it whenever I brought him up? Suddenly Claudia kicked the quest boom's door. The door alarmed attled slightly.

Now was the tfor the maide to do their regular cleaning Even though Claudia was the one lashing out at me, I didn't want to escalate the matter So, I dragged her into the quest room. I remained cool as a cucumber after closing the door "Claudia, Nicholas will get mad at you if he finds out that you're treatinglike this: Have you forgotten what he told you a few days ago? "At the end of the day, I'm still your sister in law. You should think up ways to get along withbefore speaking toin public, especially when there are outsiders around" I pretended to lecture Claudia with a stern expression.

"Wow. This has to be a joke, right?" Claudia murmured under her breath before letting out a disdainful scoff "Stop joking around. Do you think Nick will get mad atbecause of you? Ariana Jones, you probably don't know that Nick cares abouta lot more than he cares about you!" I had no idea if Claudia truly was confident or pretended to be that confident. Unfortunately, I knew that she was right.

I should've known that Nicholas cared a great deal about Claudia based on the fact that he brought her along to our honeymoon vacation I took a deep breath in response. Although I didn't care about Claudia's temper tantrum that was aimed at me, her words still soured my mood.

I felt extremely depressed at the moment, but Claudia didn't care. To her, I was the sinner who snatched her beloved Nick away.

Even though Claudia's eyes were still red, she began to calm down. She reached out to grab my arm-a gesture that she had done. countless times in the past-as she said, "Ariana, I have a ton of good friends. They all adore me." Claudia began giggling as she shook my arm coquettishly while. raising her head to look at me. She might have seemed harmless, but the things she said would always shock everyone else.

The cruel satisfaction flashing across her eyes quickly shred. through her innocent and naïve façade. She continued smiling harmlessly.

"If you run your mouth again, my friends will avengebecause they can't bear to seegetting hurt."

For sreason, Claudia's grip on my arm tightened so much that it hurt. I shivered slightly feeling chills running down my spine, as she took a step toward me.

Claudia just smiled faintly before lowering her gaze out of helplessness. I couldn't see her eyes. All I could see was her moving lips.

"Ariana, no one can separatefrom Nick. No one."

A moment later, Claudia raised her head happily, a cold smirk now adorning her face. "Everything will be fine as long as you don't chaseout of here. "Otherwise... I'll have you know that I'm no weak and helpless maiden. Don't you ever think about bullying me!"
