Chapter 1282 Sleep with Me

• "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. Nicholas 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 planted a soft kiss on her pale lips.
• Nicholas 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 glad you're alive." Tessa shut her eyes and rested her head against Nicholas' chest after hearing his words.
• "You must have been really shocked by what happened," she mumbled. "Yeah. I nearly lost you," Nicholas 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."
