Always Been Yours

Chapter 1185 Connection

Seeing that his beloved wife had let go of the worry, Nicholas struck the iron while it was hot and pulled her into his arms. “Alright, enough about your brother. Let’s talk about us.”

You’ve been so busy with your rehearsal lately, not to mention you have to keep Gregory company after coming home. Every time I’m done with work, you’re already asleep. Don’t you think you’ve neglected your husband long enough? Hmm?”

“He wants this.” The next second, Nicholas lowered his head to kiss Tessa, who returned the kiss with closed eyes. Soon, romance filled the air, and the temperature in the bedroom grew warmer amidst their passion.
