Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Mockery

Nicholas held down the landline and called Edward in. “Send Miss Stone away.”

Edward noticed Nicholas’ bad mood, and he quickly obliged. “Miss Stone, please come with me.”

Hayley looked at Edward for a moment before she turned her attention back to Nicholas again. “Nicholas, your grandfather asked me to invite you. He insists that you come.” She brought Remus up in an attempt to make Nicholas cave in, but that backfired on her. Nicholas’ patience finally ran out.

His face fell, and the air was fraught with tension. It felt as if the temperature had fallen by a few centigrades. Hayley noticed the dark look he was giving her, and her heart sank. Before she could say anything, Nicholas answered coldly, “Don’t use my grandfather against me, Miss Stone. Nobody can tell me what I should do.”

Hayley met his eyes, and there was nothing but mockery in them. It hurt her, and she panicked. “Nicholas, you misunderstood me. I wasn’t using him to force you or anything. I’m just saying he’ll be angry if you don’t go, and my grandfather hasn’t seen you in a while.” She knew what she said had angered Nicholas, so she was trying to salvage the situation and keep her image alive.

However, Nicholas’ patience had long run out. He didn’t want to waste his breath talking to her, so he glared at Edward. “I didn’t pay you to do nothing.”

Aw man. This is so not my fault. Edward thought it was unfair, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He asked Hayley to leave once again.

Nicholas looked angry, and Hayley knew it would only make him more furious if she stayed. She bit her lip and left right away.

Nicholas didn’t show up during the dinner that night, and his phone wouldn’t stop ringing. It was as if it wouldn’t stop until he picked it up. Nicholas was livid, and in the end, he simply turned his phone off to get some peace and quiet.
