Chapter 583
Under the moonlight, the couple curled up together, looking just like they were a painting
The next morning, Tessa slowly opened her eyes to the low, dulcet tones of Nicholas’ voice.
“You’re up,” he said. “How do you feel?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Realizing he was still worried that she would be affected by what happened last night, she shot him a sweet smile.
One look into her bright eyes, and he knew everything was truly okay now.
His lips curled up in a smile. “Get up and get dressed.”
With an assenting nod, she headed toward the bathroom.
After cleaning herself up, she joined Nicholas and Gregory in the dining room for breakfast.
Just then, she was suddenly reminded of the man who had saved her yesterday.
While she had been scared out of her mind, she still remembered hearing him call her ‘Miss Tessa. “Who was that man?” she asked, unable to resist the urge. “Why did it seem like he arrived way before you guys did?”
“He’s the bodyguard I assigned to secretly protect you a while ago,” Nicholas replied. Then, he uneasily asked, “You’re not angry, are you?”
“Why would I be? I haven’t even thanked you for that yet,” she said with a surprised chuckle. Then, fear rose in her once more at her memories of last night. “If you hadn’t assigned a bodyguard to me to stall those men until your arrival… Well, I’m too scared to even wonder what might’ve happened.”
His eyes darkened with pain at the sight of the terrified look in her eyes.
Not wanting to continue with this topic, his voice took on a teasing tone as he smiled at her and asked, “So, when do you plan on thanking me?”
ILS SO
Startled, her eyes flickered before she understood what he meant. “It’s so nice to have you here,” she coyly said as she darted over to kiss him on the cheek.
In response, he wrapped his arms around her waist as warmth filled his gaze.
The couple stared deep into each other’s eyes.
Just as they were about to kiss, a killjoy spoke up.
“Miss Tessa, I want a kiss too. I want one!”
It was Gregory, who was jealous because Tessa had kissed his father while forgetting all about
him.
