Chapter 203 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Nicole watched Zeke’s back as he started to run once more. She returned to her previous position and stood still. Her slender figure and straightened back made her seem as if she were a ruler or a monument. ‘Fourth lap. Fifth lap. Sixth lap.’ He thought. Zeke’s pace was getting slower. He was aware that he was approaching his limit; the three laps he had just completed were effortless. ‘Seventh lap. Eighth lap.’ he thought. At this point, for someone who did not have the habit of exercising, it was a matter of having a will that was strong enough.
• His legs had gone numb and were swinging mechanically. There was a voice in his head constantly shouting and instigating him, ‘Stop running, just stop running! You’re too tired and need rest. This is enough for today!’ Zeke shook his head. The sweat on his face dripped onto the running track, silencing the voice in his head for a moment. He looked at Nicole, who was standing in the distance. Though his vision was a little blurry, he could sense that she was watching him closely. Zeke’s legs felt as heavy as lead, but he tried his best and continued moving his legs. He was fighting the toughest battle with himself.
• ‘We live to become better versions of ourselves. Lucifer is looking at me. I can’t let someone who cares about me down again,’ he thought. ‘Ninth lap. Tenth lap,’ he thought again. Zeke looked at Nicole, who was within arm’s reach, and revealed a child-like smile. He firmly restrained his incredibly sore knees. He did not allow himself to fall to the ground as he had previously. He then lifted his head to look at Nicole. His parted lips seemed as if they were conveying something. ‘Nicole, I did it,’ he thought.
