Kapitel 207: No One Disrespects His Wife.

The second he saw the number that was displayed on his screen wasn't Arissa, Nicklaus's eyes turned cold. She haven't replied to his text in a while now so he just directly assumed the call would be hers and now it wasn't, he turned more rigid. 

Daniel's name was displayed on the screen. He looked above his shoulder and started at Alfred. Their gaze collided and Alfred immediately averted his gaze. 

Nicklaus's eyes went back to his phone screen. Answering the call, he took two steps away from his initial position. 

"Call me back an hour from now," Nicklaus ordered the moment Daniel greeted from the other end. Without wasting a second more, he hung up and turned back to Alfred. 

He sat back on his seat and pierced Alfred with his gaze. "Is there something else you would love to say, father-in-law? My time is counting," 

Alfred ran his hand through his raven-dark hair. Hope coursed through him when Nicklaus finally gave him the title.
