Chaptet 28

“Hmph! Look at yourself, foot. Who would want to marry you? You’re destined to be single forever!”

Stefania sniggered with disgust.

Kieran was helpless upon hearing that. “Come on! Do you have any idea how many people are dying to

marry me? You can’t ditch me like that, Mom. What am I to you? A disposable ‘rubber sheath’ that you

have just used for once and threw away?”

While everyone laughed in amusement after hearing his hilarious reply, Roselle thoughtfully placed some

dishes on Nicholas’ plate. “Nicholas, I remember this is your favorite dish. Please have more of it.”

Although Stefania and Tobias had no comment about Roselle’s thoughtful action, Kieran couldn’t help

but be scared for her. After all, he was aware of his brother’s mysophobia as Nicholas had always

preferred to enjoy his meals without sharing anyone else’s silverware. What is Roselle trying to prove by

picking up and placing dishes on Nicholas’ plate with her own fork and spoon? Oh dear, is this lady trying

to make herself look special?

Soon, Kieran peeked at his older brother and realized that he had his eyes coldly fixed on the food with

an unhappy frown. Nonetheless, Nicholas didn’t express his dissatisfaction but instead calmly expressed

his gratitude. “Thank you.”

For the next few moments, Kieran continued to observe his brother and discovered that Nicholas never

touched the dish that Roselle had just placed on his plate.

Meanwhile, Roselle also noticed that as her face slightly paled. However, she wasn’t about to give up like

that, so she turned her attention to Gregory and grabbed a nice juicy shrimp for him. “You need to eat

more so that you can grow healthier, Greg.”

Nonetheless, as soon as the shrimp fell onto Gregory’s plate, he instantly furrowed his eyebrows in

disgust.

A few seconds later, Tessa quickly collected the shrimp and took it away from the boy’s plate, smiling

while saying, “Miss Gingham, Greg is allergic to seafood, so he can’t eat this.”

“O-Oh, really?” Roselle reacted with a bitter smile. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that…”

“It’s okay.” Stefania smiled in an unconcerned manner and shifted her gaze to Tessa. “I didn’t know that

you were even aware of Greg’s allergy to seafood. You seem to know Greg well, Miss Reinhart.”

“Well, President Sawyer told me about that.” Tessa silently lowered her head.

In the meantime, those words sounded like jarring noises that annoyed Roselle when she heard them. Is

this lady trying to show off her relationship with Nicholas? Who is she to deserve Nicholas’ favor?

In spite of her irritation and frustration, Roselle hid her feelings well, though.

At the same time, Yana, who was also unhappy with Tessa, succumbed to her evil intentions. Then, she

ambiguously said in a coy manner, “I understand that you’re thoughtful and close with Greg, Miss

Reinhart, but if anyone who is unaware of the situation sees this, they might probably think that you know

everything about Greg because you had been stalking him.”

While Yana’s words might have sounded ordinary and innocent, they inevitably portrayed Tessa in a bad

light to make her look like she had a hidden agenda by warming up to Gregory.

As Stefania and Tobias furrowed their eyebrows upon hearing Yana’s words, Gregory sensibly interfered

and explained Tessa’s innocence. “I was lost a few days ago until Miss Pretty Lady found me and took

me back to Dad. In return, Dad thanked her and treated her to a meal, which was when

she found out about my allergy to seafood.”

When Stefania and Tobias learned about the truth, they were both relieved to find out that Tessa was not

like who they thought she was.

Then, she courteously looked at Tessa and said, “Speaking of this, that little boy never stops wandering

off, but anyway, I guess I owe you my thanks for having taken Greg back to his father.”

Tessa smiled in relief. “You’re welcome. I was just doing what I should.”

While Nicholas silently shot a gaze at his son after witnessing how he defended Tessa, Gregory looked

back at his father and raised his eyebrows complacently, as if he was trying to boast his competence in

protecting Tessa.

Nicholas smiled in response to his son’s behavior whereas Roselle completely lost her appetite since she

found it hard to continue enjoying her meal in front of Tessa. This woman is really grinding my gears!

Unable to maintain the smile on her face any longer, she quickly came up with an excuse and walked

away. “Excuse me, I need to use the washroom, so please carry on with your meals without me. I’ll be

right back shortly.”

The moment she turned around, her rage and wickedness filled her eyes as it surged through her.

At the same time, Yana saw Roselle’s reaction and followed her daughter to the washroom.

“Who is this lady? Where the heck is she from?!” Roselle’s face twisted in anger.

Noticing her daughter being grumpy, Yana couldn’t help but feel frustrated while trying to comfort

Roselle. “She is but a violin teacher, nothing more than a nobody. In fact, I can tell that she is just an

ordinary lady whom we can easily get rid of. Just like crushing an ant!”

“I want her gone then! She is such an eyesore to me!” Roselle slammed the basin with a sinister look on

her beautiful face.
