Chapter: 728

He wasn't in the mood for an argument today.

Upon returning to the hotel, Aimee followed Nikolas at a distance, unlike before.

Nikolas reached his room and noticed Aimee stopped.

“What's the matter?"

Nikolas turned to face her. “What's wrong? I'm happy to be your servant for another day."

"Do you want it?" Aimee cut him off before he could finish.

“What ?"

“Do you want it?"

Blinking, Nikolas asked, “Want what? A cigarette?"

Aimee's irritation flashed across her face. She shot him a sharp glance, clearly about to walk away.

Nikolas grabbed her wrist. “Come on. What's got you so worked up?"

“Let go! I don't need this. I just want to get back to sleep!"

At the mention of sleep, Nikolas suddenly understood what Aimee meant.

He realized the mistake he'd made.

"Aimee, you..."

“Let go!" Aimee's voice was firm, signaling her desire to end the conversation with Nikolas. She wished he would vanish forever.

“Wait! Just wait! I get it now!"

Nikolas drew Aimee back into his embrace, pressing her against the wall.

She felt ensnared by his presence, unable to slip away.

Their eyes locked in a prolonged, tense silence.

He nervously wet his lips as he whispered, "I'm ready."

Aimee's expression hardened. "I've changed my mind."

"Are you serious?"
