One More Night

The atmosphere is stifling inside the car. No one speaks.

Paul peeks into the rear-view mirror at Kevin George and Nicole, shaking his head. The little girl is too ungrateful. President George never takes a woman back to his mansion. Nicole is the only first. Today, the president set aside time for her to have lunch together, but she dared to stand up.

Kevin’s face is livid and he exudes a bloodthirsty smell from head to foot. Around him, it seems as if the air would be a few degrees lower, making people tremble.

The backseat is spacious, and Nicole tries to shrink herself as far away from Kevin as possible. She is now a bit regretful about her impulse to annoy Kevin. She knows the consequence.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

Nicole gives Kevin a furtive glance with the corner of her eyes and decides to apologize later. After all, dad is lying in his bed waiting for surgery. She needs Kevin’s sponsored surgery fees.

The car is parked at the garage gate. Nicole opens her mouth and is about to explain why she didn’t come eat with him today, but as soon as she looks up, she find that Kevin’s deep dark eyes looking at her coldly.

Nicole is turning her head; Kevin speaks arrogantly, “Get out of the car!”

On his forehead, his veins swell and he drags Nicole’s slender arm toward the living room. His hands are so strong that Nicole’s face wrinkles with pain.

Her arm is about to be dislocated. She stumbles behind Kevin. Her flat-bottomed sandals are ripped off and her feet ache on the gravel aisle. Nicole is too stubborn to beg.

Kevin’s getting angrier. Nicole, I do not care how many piercings you have on you. Tonight, I am going to pull out all of them!

Lights are bright and laughter is loud in the living room. Hearing footsteps, Martha greets them from the living room. Her smile is frozen as she sees the Kevin’s cold face.

“Master, your sister is back.” Martha reports carefully, fearing that she might inadvertently provoke Kevin.

Though Kevin raises his eyebrows and his face softens slightly, the strength of the hand does not diminish. Nicole’s foot has been skinned. It hurts. Her white dress also stains on the ground. Her hair hangs down loosely. The whole person is in a terrible mess!

“My dear brother…”

On the pure white sofa, the elegant girl stands up with a big smile. She frowns slightly as she sees Nicole behind him.

“When did you get home, Farah? Why not inform me in advance?” Kevin shakes Nicole off brutally.

Her stomach pounds against the corner of the table with a sharp pain so she covers her belly and crouches in pain!

“Brother, I called you at noon, and your secretary said you had lunch with Miss Richard.” Farah George pursed her tender and rosy mouth. It is obvious that she’s just a spoiled rich lady.

He sighed, “Have you played enough? Are you going to travel around the world again?” Kevin asks.

Farah touches Kevin’s shoulder in a pettish way. Glancing at Nicole with disdain, Farah’s beautiful face is filled with curiosity then asks, “Why you bring a strange woman home?”

Kevin turns to look at Nicole and instructs his nanny, “Take her upstairs.”

“Wait!” Farah stops the nanny’s action. She walks up to Nicole and stares down at her.

Nicole lowers her head. The arrogance in Farah’s voice deeply hurts her.

Five years ago, she was also a rich girl. Although her family couldn’t compare with the George’s, she is also the apple of her father’s eye. But now, she can be stabbed with such a haughty tone of voice by another girl of the same age!

“Look up at me.” Farah tiptoes to Nicole who is crouching on the floor.

Nicole bites her lips. Her pale face is bloodless. She still hangs her head low and lets her long, dishevelled hair cover her face.

“My brother, your new lover is a little bit stubborn! She is really unlovable!” Farah turns her head to Kevin with a flicker of disgust in her eyes. Who does this woman think she is?

“Speak! Are you deaf or dumb?” Farah kicks Nicole in the leg, just where she had been hurt. Nicole is in pain. There is a bit of exasperation in her heart.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Is being rich so great? That is why the rich can trample on the dignity of others. She is not a stray dog. How can she kick her around like that?

With her head up, Nicole’s cold, obstinate eyes turn against Farah’s angry eyes.

Farah’s taken aback for Nicole’s eyes are so inspiring. And it seems there is something inside her eyes that she has never seen before…

“What’s your name? How did you get to know my brother?” Farah pretends to be calm.

“Farah, stop!” Kevin comes up and pats her on the shoulder. “Are you tired from your flight? Go back to your bedroom and have a good rest.”

“Brother, are you taking sides with her? I am asking her!” Farah replies in an injured tone.

What is wrong with him? He loves her the most all the time and he would never stand in the way when she humiliates his lovers. Today for this little girl who does not seem to have grown well, how can he be so abnormal! She is Farah George, his sister!

Kevin ignores Farah’s question. Turning to Nicole, his voice is icy cold, “I tell you to go upstairs! Don’t you hear me?” His eyes are cold as ever.

Nicole slowly climbs up from the floor. The pain of the scratched toe pierces the heart. She feels much more pain when lowering her abdomen. She has no choice but stands up but suddenly feels dizzy, as if all her strength is drained. She staggers and holds the table beside her.

“Get up there! Do not pretend to be pathetic!” Kevin snaps.

Nicole tries to support her body but her abdomen is so painful, as if she had been stabbed. Suddenly, a hot liquid runs down her thigh.

Looking down, Nicole covers her mouth with terror. Blood! It is blood! Bright red blood! Running down her legs…

“Blood! Brother, she is bleeding!” Farah George screams too.

Kevin’s livid face suddenly turns pale. He rushes to Nicole, picks her up and carefully places her on the sofa, regardless of the expensive white sofa stained with blood. His handsome brow furrows and his voice is a little quivering, “Nicole, how are you? What is the matter with you?”

Nicole is unconscious. Her lips are bloodless. She is in such pain that she does not have the strength to answer Kevin.

Kevin’s heart tightens sharply and he yells, “Martha, call an ambulance!”

Nicole is unconscious when the ambulance pulls into George’s mansion. Her fingertips clutch the clothes on the chest, as if her heart is suffering a great pain which has overwhelmed her.

In the blackest darkness, she seems to see Jake’s face. He is young, handsome and tender, smiling at her as if she is the most precious thing in his palm.

“Jake.” Nicole whispers, “It hurts. Jake, where are you?”

Kevin, who is carrying her to the ambulance, makes a stop. The person she misses in her coma isn’t him but her senior…

Kevin’s heart seems to be gripped by a giant beast, making his breathing hard.

For the first time, he made an exception to go to the mall with a woman. For the first time, he does not mind that a woman is not a virgin. He pushed off the board meeting to eat with a woman and he wanted to make rules to keep the woman with him.

But, so much of these just get her disgust and hatred. He has done so much but cannot compare with the upperclassman she is obsessed with…

Is this woman’s heart making of iron or stone? How can she be so stubborn?

Outside the hospital’s VIP room, a young doctor is coming up with a medical record.

“Doctor, how is she?” Kevin asks, trying to suppress his fear and tension.

“She almost had an abortion. But she is fine now. Are you her husband?” The doctor looks at Kevin with a bit of blame. “You paid too little attention to the care of the pregnant women. If you guys come any later, the baby will not be able to keep.”

“Thank God…” Kevin’s always calm and wise mind suddenly goes haywire. Nicole’s pregnant? A surge of joy rises from the bottom of his heart.

He has many lovers but they are never allowed to be left with his seeds. But Nicole is so hard to tame in bed that he always forgets about contraception. He didn’t expect her to be pregnant!

His cold, arrogant eyes seem to blossom all of sudden. Maybe he can forgive Nicole for thinking about that guy. He can try to make her accept himself slowly.

“She is just two months pregnant. It is the most dangerous time. Make sure to take good care of her.” The doctor can’t help expostulating with those fathers who get lost in too much excitement.

“Two months?” asked Kevin in surprise with a bit of a cold voice.

“Yes, eight weeks, just two months.” The doctor gets a little confused. The mood of this expectant father changes so quickly.

Two months…

It has been just 42 days since Kevin first met Nicole.

But she is two months pregnant…
