Chapter 308
When Nicholas heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. “Is that really what you think?”
Nicholas fiercely held Tessa’s chin, forcing her to look at him.
At once, Tessa frowned from the pain. Then, just as she was about to say something, the man’s low and husky voice
sounded in her ears again. “What should I do? I don’t want you to be a passerby at all and won’t let you be one of
them!”
Nicholas suddenly lowered his head and kissed Tessa’s delicate pink lips as he finished his declaration.
Tessa was dumbfounded, her eyes turned red-rimmed, and she was lost in the kiss. His kiss was gentle and skillful
as he guided her little by little. She was so immersed in the kiss, and she even wrapped her arms around Nicholas’
neck.
Under the moonlight, the two of them kissed passionately, and something awoke in their hearts. It even made him
impulsive as his warm hands moved against her back. She kept her arms tightly hooked around his neck. Her whole
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbody felt as if there was a fire burning inside her.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew in the room. Tessa, who was in a daze, suddenly sobered up and shoved
Nicholas away. She figured she must have been drunk, which was why she had done something so impulsive.
“It’s late. Hurry up and get some rest,” After saying that, she dared not even look at his expression as she fled the
scene in a hurry and went straight to the bedroom.
However, Nicholas wasn’t satisfied, and his gaze was dark as he stared at the closed door.
That night, neither of them could sleep. When Tessa got up to refresh herself early the following day, she saw the
dark circles under her eyes. She let out a faint sigh, forcing herself not to think about the night before. Then, after
putting on some light makeup, she left the room.
Nicholas had already gotten up and was sitting on the sofa watching the morning news in the living room.
“Morning.”
“…Morning.”
As she saw the man was greeting her as if nothing had happened, this scene filled her heart with complicated
emotions. She didn’t know how to face him, so she simply hid in the kitchen and prepared breakfast.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was unbothered as he stared at the kitchen with a glint of a smile in his eyes.
A while later, breakfast was ready, and Tessa’s mood had gradually calmed down. As she sat opposite of him, she
asked blankly, “When are you leaving?”
“Why? Is something wrong?” Nicholas looked up at Tessa.
Tessa met his gaze and answered steadily, “I’m going out today.”
“Why are you going out?”
“I-I’m going to find a job, and I’ll lock the house.”
Truthfully, Tessa had no plans to go out, but she hoped that if she said that, Nicholas would leave earlier.
Undoubtedly, Nicholas knew what Tessa was implying. However, he didn’t plan to just leave. So, despite seeing
through her, he didn’t expose her but simply said dispassionately, “In that case, just go ahead with your plans. Don’t
worry about me. I can stay at home by myself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTessa was stunned as she heard him shamelessly hogging her house. Does this mean he doesn‘t plan to leave?
At this thought, Tessa frowned and made it crystal clear. “It’s inconvenient for you to be here. Please leave after the
meal.”
“I don’t think there’s anything inconvenient about this.”
As he spoke, he even had the audacity to look around. At this point, Tessa was a little exasperated, and her voice
grew stern. “It’s inconvenient because I said so.”
“I think it’s quite fine.”
“It’s not!”
“It’s fine.”
The two began to squabble like children at the table. But, in the end, Nicholas still refused to leave.
Tessa was enraged by his actions. She glared at him in irritation and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you deliberately
going against me? Why are you squeezing in this small space with me and not in the presidential suite of a hotel?”
“Because you’re here,” he said solemnly with deep emotions swirling in his dark eyes.
Her breathing stilled as she heard his statement, and her heart seemed to have stopped beating altogether.
