Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 White Lie

“Why you little…” Remus was too angry to come up with a reply.

Fortunately, Tobias and Stefania came just in time. They noticed the tension in the air the moment they came in, and they smiled at Remus. “Dad.”

Remus snorted. “Good. You’re here. Persuade him to marry Hayley. He thinks it’s a bad idea. Well, I don’t think so.” Then he told his butler to take him upstairs.

Tobias and Stefania looked at each other. They could guess what had happened, so after Remus was gone, they asked Nicholas to take a seat.

Nicholas didn’t move, and his parents didn’t force him to.

Eventually, Stefania stepped up and persuaded, “Nicholas, just do as he says, alright? He’s really doing it for your own good. And Hayley’s not a bad woman. Her family’s on the same level as us. You won’t find any better woman out there.”

“That has nothing to do with me,” Nicholas answered coldly, and his patience finally ran out. “Gregory is still waiting for me. I’ll be going now.” He walked away before Stefania could say anything else. When he came out of the residence, he had a dark look on his face, and a storm was brewing in his eyes. He walked to his car and got in.

Edward noticed the anger coming from Nicholas, and he gulped carefully. It had been a long time since he saw Nicholas looking that angry. Then he remembered something, and he reported, “Sir, Hayley showed up earlier, but she left in a hurry. She probably heard something.”

Nicholas snorted. “Good.”

The black Rolls-Royce left the residence, and Nicholas’ anger subsided ever so slightly. His phone rang, and it was from Tessa. He calmed himself down a little and picked it up.

Tessa’s face appeared in the video call, and she was smiling. “Have you guys landed, Nicholas?”

“Yes.” He nodded, his voice still tinged with anger.
