His Toxic Addiction-Chapter 376: Beautiful.

Arissa gulped and nodded softly, "I understand."

Nicklaus nodded with a small smile. His phone beeped from his pant pocket, indicating a message.

He placed a soft kiss on Arissa’s cheek, "Excuse me," he pleaded and rolled away from her.

Taking his phone out of his pant pocket, he took a glance at the message sent and walked towards the door. Arissa sat up on the bed and watched him with curious eyes.

Nicklaus turned the doorknob and found Lukas standing before the door, holding bags in both sides of his hand.

Nicklaus took the bag from him and gave him a light nod. Lukas dismissed himself afterwards and Nicklaus closed the door and walked back into the room.

Arissa’s eyes followed him around and when Nicklaus sat down beside her, she was able to relax back on the bed.

From inside the bag, Nicklaus brought out a sleeveless flowing floor-length flowery blue summer day dress and passed it over to her and underwear attached to it.

"Thank you," Arissa said as she received the dress from him, "You shouldn’t have bothered," she added scanning the dress. Putting on dresses has never been her thing but when they came from Nicklaus, she understood he must have placed the order for the baby’s comfort.

"We won’t rush back home so soon. Also, do you think I’ll let a doctor see you this way? Without your underwear?" he raised a brow at her and Arissa chuckled.

She reached for the belt of her robe and Nicklaus immediately turned the other side. Arissa smiled in surprise and amusement.

She first tied her hair into a bun and dressed up. When she finished up, she said to Nicklaus, "You can turn around now,"

Nicklaus let out a sigh of relief before facing her. His lips parted and he got lost staring at her. Arissa had never been ugly, she had always been a beauty goddess but seeing her in a gown that radiated her pregnancy glow, she screamed perfection and he could not take his eyes off her.

His hands itched to be wrapped around her and he gave in. In the next second, he wrapped his hands around her and made her sit on his lap.

He stared at her with greater adoration. He reached for her hair and untied it, letting it flow all over her back, giving her a more outstanding beauty.

"I can’t believe my children would come from a woman as beautiful as you are," he admired, his fingers tucking strands of her hair behind her ears.

His words caused Arissa’s cheeks to redden, "Thank you but you shouldn’t flatter me," she replied with a toothless smile.

Her heart picked up a race.

Nicklaus smiled and arranged the hands of her dress, "You’re beautiful, Arissa. Even the moon won’t stand a place against your beauty," his eyes held lots of admiration and respect for her.

Arissa saw the look in his eyes and finally believed his words. She does not place herself to such a standard and appreciates it so much that he does.

Nicklaus’s fingers danced at her back and on her shoulders. He badly wants to take this cloth off her and fill her mind with thoughts of him. She looked so soft and pure.

Seems pregnancy would look sexy good on her, he thought and ended up laughing at the end.

His phone beside him beeped again. He stole a glance at it and faced Arissa. He playfully pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "I want you to meet someone,"

"Okay," Arissa nodded and stood straight.

Nicklaus stood up after her and brought her footwear before her. Arissa smiled at his service.

After she had successfully put on her footwear, Nicklaus took her hand and walked out of the room hand in hand with her. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

From his outfit, she noticed the meeting would be indoors, and also, she caught a slight glimpse of what the message read.

It was only a simple content with the messenger saying; "I’m here,"

Nicklaus led her to the staircase. Catching sight of the living room, she blinked in surprise when she caught sight of Collins, seated on one of the couches with a book.

She raised her face to Nicklaus and stole a glimpse at his face but unfortunately, his expression had gone back to poker, which surprised her.

"What’s Jocelyn thinking?" she murmured under her breath, thinking it was her friend who invited Collins over.

Collins stood up from the couch when he saw the couple ascending the staircase. He looked so pleased to see Arissa.

Arissa smiled at him. She gently peeled her hand off Nicklaus’s hold and hastened her steps towards Collins. Getting to him, they were enveloped in a tight embrace.

Collins buried his face into her neck as if his life depended on her hold. Arissa smiled softly and patted him softly on his back as if comforting him.

From the corner of Collins’s eyes, he caught sight of Nicklaus’s burning gaze on him. Respecting his boundaries around Arissa, he took his face off her neck and hugged her properly.

Arissa parted from the hug, "I have something to tell you about but right now, that would wait." she said in a hushed giggling tune.

Collins smiled brightly at her inner self. He nodded respectfully and took one step away from her.

Arissa turned towards Nicklaus. He stood ten steps away as if isolated and she had to take steps towards him.

Nicklaus forced out a smile. It doesn’t matter how long she has known Collins. All he knows is the Doctor’s feelings towards his wife and he can’t help but frown at the hug they just shared. Collins made the hug intimate and it made his blood boil.

It doesn’t matter if they might now be on good terms.

He held Arissa’s shoulder and gently pulled her to his side. Pressing a kiss at the side of her head, he fixed his eyes on Collins.
