Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 

A few moments passed before she calmed down, then she said in a light but bitter voice, “Do you know how much effort it took me to leave the country? To make up my mind to get away from everything back home?!”

Nicholas frowned, not understanding what this had to do with him staying.

Tessa understood the confusion on his face, and she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, her eyes turning red-rimmed.

“Do you understand the feeling of someone who was forced to leave their family behind and live in a foreign country far from their familiar homeland? Not only do I have to familiarize myself with a new environment all over again, but I also have to find a new job.”

As Tessa spoke, her voice became choked. Tears flowed from her eyes and streamed down her cheeks before landing on the back of her hand.

When Nicholas saw this, his heart felt as though those tears pierced it.

“You—” Initially, he wanted to comfort her, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking

She was having an emotional breakdown as she shouted with distress, “Obviously, I’ve already come all the way here to avoid you, so why do you still refuse to let me go? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me?!”

Unsurprisingly, the look on Nicholas’ face turned nasty. All of a sudden, he got up, looking calm as he approached Tessa. Then, he gritted his teeth and asked, “In your eyes, I’m just trouble? Is that what you think of me?”

As Tessa stared into Nicholas’ cold eyes, her heart shuddered, and her hand on the dining table was tightly clenched into a fist

“Yes, that’s what I think. Because of you, because I was close to you, I lost my job. I have nothing, and I can’t even stay in the country. What else do you want from me?!”

She vented all the frustration she had suffered all this while as her emotions had finally shattered that jar she had kept them locked in. Looking at him with desperation, she begged, “This is me begging you. Please leave me alone. Let’s not contact each other in the future.”

Nicholas was livid, but Tessa pretended not to notice as she turned and left.
