Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 622

Chapter 622
Tessa didn’t insist on staying up either and kissed Nicholas across the screen. Then, she hung up and went to sleep with a sweet smile.
On the other side, Kaiden had acquired information about Tessa’s identity, and he was bringing the report to Janet
At the same time. Janet dressed in a combat uniform and was with the other team members. They surrounded the bonfire and had their meal in a cave in a mountain in Brilfax. She was the only female present, whereas the others were all tall and brave men.
Janet occupied a corner alone as her authoritative aura made her colleagues wary of her.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the cave.
In the next second, everyone, including Janet, immediately stopped eating as they swiftly became alert and aware of their surroundings.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Kaiden walked in from outside.
Everyone else relaxed when they saw it as an ally and resumed their previous activities.
Only Janet stood up and walked toward Kaiden. With a cold voice, she asked, “Did you identify the person:
“Yes. Her name is Tessa Reinhart.” Kaiden nodded and reported Tessa’s origins to Janet in detail.
After Janet heard this, her face darkened slightly. It was a hard pill for her to swallow as she didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
The Nicholas I knew was ruthless, calm, collected when problems cropped up, and a capable leader who led all the team members to death without any casualties. But from Kaiden’s report, Nicholas would feel anxious for that woman named Tessa Reinhart. He would become gentle for her sake and would create all kinds of romantic surprises for her! Is this really the Nicholas I knew?
“Is everything you said true?” She questioned Kaiden expressionlessly, and the sheer force of the sensation she gave was imposing.
When Kaiden sensed the formidable vibe in the air, his scalp became numb, and his expression showed more respect and sincerity. “These are all true. But, Jan, I still have some information if you don’t believe me.”
While he said that, he hurriedly handed out a USB flash drive.
lanet immediately took it, then turned around and borrowed a notebook from a team member responsible for technical tasks.
Once she inserted the USB flash drive, she clicked on the information, and the pictures that were
shown on the screen chased away any lingering disbelief.
These photos were photos of when Nicholas was taking Tessa out sightseeing before.
Each of the photos inside the drive made Janet’s heart ache immensely to the point that she couldn’t breathe. Yet, at the same time, it also made her feel lost about the future for a moment.
Initially, after Nicholas was discharged from the team, I decided to retire and return to get married to Nicholas when my mission period was up. But what shall I do now? I’m not even done with my mission, yet Nicholas’ heart already belongs to someone else.
Kaiden stepped forward in worry when he saw her ghastly expression. “Jan, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. You may go.” Janet ordered Kaiden away. In the meantime, she stood in place alone with the notebook in her arms as a look of pain gradually surfaced on her face.
At this moment, she kept replaying the memories she shared with Nicholas all these years in her mind
se I
All this while, I always thought that I was special to Nicholas. Because no matter how dangerous the situation was, Nicholas would never leave me behind. He saved me many times and protected me during our missions. I thought that Nicholas felt the same toward me. But it never crossed my mind that I misunderstood everything.
When she thought of this, she stared at the man in the photo again. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a self-deprecating smile.
Perhaps this man cared for me because I was his mission partner. Or maybe it might be due to his responsibility as a captain…
Janet was still dwelling in sorrow when a team member strode over.
“Jan, I’ve located Blood Eagle’s trace.”
“Where?” Janet put up a serious expression. Then, like an unsheathed sword, the aura around her changed instantly and became biting.
“He’s at the mountain top, but his exact location is unclear. I recommend we use drones to explore the way around the mountain first.” The team members suggested. However, Janet rejected the suggestion.
“It’s unnecessary. Let’s end this. We’ll capture the guy now.”
“Jan, Blood Eagle is cunning and has many tricks up his sleeves. It’s very dangerous for us to rashly go against him without a plan,” the team member said disapprovingly.
