Chapter: 820

Why was he here?

Nikolas bent down and lifted Rowan.

"You recovered?" Rowan asked.

"Yes! Did you come to visit me in the hospital?" Nikolas tweaked Rowan's nose playfully.

“Of course! I'm a good friend. I even made a wish for you to get better fast!"

Nikolas truly enjoyed Rowan's company. The boy was clever and sharp, bearing a striking resemblance to Jonathan.

As they began catching up, Aimee had no choice but to bring Nola along, even though she didn't want to.

Noticing Aimee, Nikolas greeted her. “Here to pick up Bethany?"

"Yes."

"And this must be Nola!" Nikolas's eyes brightened as he observed the little girl in Aimee's arms.

Nola had a cute face-she looked like a pretty doll.

It was impossible for anyone to see Nola and not remark on her beauty.

"Yes." Aimee kept her responses short.

Nikolas skipped the verbal sparring this time. He walked up to Nola and touched her cheek. “You look a lot like your mom! Man, I'm jealous of Jonathan. He has both Nola and Rowan. Me? I don't have anyone."

He gave Aimee a significant look. But she pretended not to notice.

Though they walked together to the arrivals hall, their conversation was minimal. Nikolas didn't try to chat, and Aimee wasn't about to start.

Once inside, they found a place to sit.

Aimee pulled two pieces of candy from her bag and gave one to Nola and one to Rowan.

Watching Aimee kiss Nola and interact with Rowan, Nikolas thought about how great of a mother she would be if they had children.

Who would have guessed she was so good with kids?

"Ahem." Nikolas cleared his throat, hoping to draw Aimee's attention.

“Is something wrong?"

"Yes," Nikolas answered, maintaining his casual demeanor. “Have you considered what I proposed?"

A week had passed without any contact between them.
