Chapter 277: Staying Away

It wasn’t just Rose who was touched by the atmosphere of this dinner, but Molly too. She felt touched because she could finally feel this feeling after so many years. The happy feeling of being surrounded by the people she cares about.

All this time, Molly had only spent time with Rose, just the two of them. But now she has many new family and friends who sincerely love her and her daughter. It made her eyes tear up with emotion but only for a moment because her husband’s words immediately changed her mood. She felt thrilled.

"Molly, I’m going to sleep with you tonight..." Nicholas whispered teasingly.

Even though he had been married to Molly for more than a week, he couldn’t touch her. Because they were staying in the hospital. He was worried about hurting her because Molly was still recovering. However, tonight he already had plans to spend the wedding night he had been dreaming of for so long.

Molly leaned closer to her husband, "No, we can’t sleep together, Nick."

Nicholas was shocked. Confused by Molly’s refusal. "Why?"

"Your daughter asked me to sleep with her, and I agreed..." said Molly, amused to see her husband’s face slowly darken. There was disappointment in his eyes.

"Why did our daughter ask to sleep with you? Doesn’t she have a husband?" Nicholas was confused. He glanced at his daughter, who was enjoying her dinner.

Did she fight with her husband? Nicholas thought as he glared at Evan. He would scold this youngster if he dared to hurt his little daughter.

"Our daughter said she wanted to sleep with me before you took me to Spencer’s house..."

Molly smiled as she remembered her little daughter’s complaint that she was spending too much time with Nick. And she agrees with her daughter, and at the same time, she feels terrible about it.

"Don’t be upset, Nick!"

"I don’t." Nicholas Spencer said quietly, but Molly could sense he was annoyed.

"Ooh, I know you’re not upset, but you don’t want to ..." Molly smiled meaningfully at him. "Well, Nick, we still have plenty of time to sleep and spend our time together, but tonight let me sleep with her. I miss her too. Ever since my little daughter married, we never spent time together again...."

"Fine! But you have to promise me, tomorrow we have to spend our wedding night. Just the two of us!"

Molly’s face turned warm when her mind thought of something she shouldn’t have thought of at the moment. Instantly she felt her body warm up as if someone was turning on a nearby heater. She quickly grabbed the cold water on the table and drank it all to make her body temperature drop.

Nicholas silently laughed as he watched his wife’s cheeks turn red and her eyes tremble to avoid his gaze. He could guess what was on her mind at this moment. He placed his hand on her smooth and warm inner lap and stroked it gently, but a second later, he stopped when his eyes met her deadly gaze.

Not long after, dinner ended.

While the others continued to chat in the living room, Rose, Evan, Sam, and Gavin were still at the dining table. They casually chatted while enjoying dessert. But soon, Evan excused himself to pick up the important phone call.

Then, Rose saw Noah lying on a chaise near the pool. He seemed to be typing something on his cell phone.

She approached him.

"Brother Noah, may I sit here?" Rose pointed at the empty Chaise beside him. When she saw him nod, she immediately settled as she saw Noah sitting facing her.

"Thank you, brother..." Rose said softly. After her mother’s accident, she had no chance to meet Noah and thank him in person. Tonight, she didn’t want to lose this opportunity to thank him.

Noah Stone tucked his phone into his trouser pocket while looking at Rose with slightly raised eyebrows, confused. "What for?"

"For your help during my mother’s accident. I heard from Sam that night you left everything behind and helped your father take my mother to the capital. I...I can’t express my gratitude enough to you and Uncle Jamie." Rose’s voice trembled as she silently endured the sudden pain pressing against her chest.

"Little sister! There’s no need to feel that way. You and your mother are like family to me. So, as a family member, it’s my responsibility to help Aunt Molly when needed...."

Noah Stone smiled to make this little girl feel better, but deep down, he felt torn apart. It hurts so much when he says ’family.’ He thinks being a family to her is not enough. His greedy heart wants more. He wants this girl to be his lover. But, he was too late. Too late to realize he was in love with her when another man had already taken her heart. Now he had to be content with only being able to be an older brother to her, nothing more.

But he’s just a human with a weak heart. Until now, he still couldn’t accept this reality. That’s why he tried to avoid her as much as he could. Till today, his father called him and asked him to come here. He couldn’t avoid seeing her again because his father forced him to come.

"Yes, I know, Brother... But still, I feel grateful Uncle found mom. If only..." Rose suddenly choked. The image of her mother being stabbed by that crazy woman flashed through her mind. She felt a chill run through her body. Hastily, she shook her head, trying to shake off the horror thoughts.

"Little sister... stop thinking about it!" Noah ruffled the hair on top of her head. "It’s all over. Now, Aunt Molly is well, and the good news is that your father found you and Aunt Molly. And, also, you have a husband now . . ." Noah paused. Like someone ripped his heart apart. It felt excruciating. Slowly he turned his gaze towards the pool. He’s staying away from looking into her eyes, trying to hide the pain he was feeling.
