Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091 Better Prospects

Timothy agreed readily and said, “The new company is near Nicholas’ building. I’ll give you a tour sometime.”

Next to him, Nicholas had an indulgent look on his face as he listened to Timothy and Tessa’s conversation, occasionally interjecting with his own views.

As the evening went on, however, Nicholas and Timothy were actively discussing work while Tessa listened quietly. She could neither make heads nor tails of what they were saying, so she eventually excused herself and went into the kitchen.

She didn’t know the basics of a start-up venture, but having seen how hard Timothy had worked to run his business in the country, she was sure that some hearty stew was just what those two men needed.

That night, the three sat in the living room, each with a bowl of stew, while they chatted about life.

At that moment, Nicholas seemed to remember something and glanced at Timothy’s legs. He asked in concern, “How are your legs doing? Have you gotten your regular check-ups while you were in Vienna?”

Without thinking, Timothy replied, “I nearly forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder.”

He had only just said this when he felt Tessa’s icy glare upon him. He shuddered and gave her a sheepish smile, then said, “I haven’t been to my check-ups, but I know my legs are doing better. I don’t limp as much as I used to.”

Tessa scoffed at his guilty expression and berated him, “You could be sprinting for all I care, but you still have to go for your check-ups regularly. Did you forget what the doctor said? Discipline is key!”

Lowering his head, Timothy muttered apologetically, “I promise I’ll swing by the hospital the moment I get back.”

“That’s more like it. Make sure you follow through on that promise or I’ll have Nicholas drag you to the doctor’s,” Tessa warned.
