Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 Dinner

Tessa wanted to hide in a hole. “Nicholas!” She gritted her teeth angrily.

Whoops. She’s angry. Gotta distract her. He put on his puppy pout. “I’m hungry.” He had come over right after he disembarked, so he hadn’t gotten any food. After the earlier exercise, his stomach was already growling.

Tessa paused. She had never seen him putting on a puppy pout. In the end, she couldn’t let him starve, so she got out of bed. “I’ll make something for you.”

Nicholas looked at her, and a smile curled his face. He wore his clothes and went out with her. Tessa was making something in the kitchen, and Nicholas felt happy seeing her like that. It felt like home.

Tessa was done cooking in half an hour. She made a simple ramen, but it smelled great. She served it on the table and asked Nicholas to come over.

They sat across from each other, the light casting their shadows on the wall. When they were done with supper, Tessa stacked the dishes before her and looked at Nicholas. “How long are you staying?”

Nicholas answered honestly, “One day. I’ll have to leave after tomorrow.”

Tessa was visibly disappointed.

Nicholas didn’t want to leave her, but he had no choice. He explained, “I canceled some work for this trip. That’s why I don’t have much time. I’ll make sure I free up more of my schedule next time.”

Tessa was surprised that he canceled work just to see her. She felt guilty, but also touched. “I’m fine. You don’t have to come all the way to Vienna.”
