Chapter 246: How to hold a gun

Tiana hugged him close, burying her head in his neck.

''you can talk to me, okay? What is the problem? ''

She was quiet for a second and then she whispered; ''can you not go to work today? ''

Nicklaus was dumbfounded at her request; he raised his eyes to look at her, a shocked expression on his face;

''uh? ''

Tiana gulped, looking down at her fingers; ''I just don't feel good today, can you stay here with me? I don't know why I feel like something bad is going to happen… ''

Nicklaus smiled, then he raised his hand to wipe her tears; ''come here;'' he said, hugging her again;

''you could have just asked me to stay, you didn't have to cry. ''

He chuckled when he felt her arms go around him and hug him like he was going to disappear the next minute;

''I thought you wouldn't listen, I've been worrying so much lately, so I thought you would just tell me not to worry. '' Tiana said meekly, her head in his chest.
