Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648 Bad Move

Nicholas responded indifferently. It was as if he didn’t want to talk about this topic. He changed the topic of conversation instead. “Do you have any major tasks this time around? It’s rare to see you being the one who takes charge personally.”

Cole did not bother to hide anything since Nicholas had once been the most promising member of his team. “I came back this time to protect a witness. This person is of great importance, so I have to be here in person,” he uttered.

Nicholas nodded but didn’t ask any more questions. After a while, the waiter began to serve their dishes, and the three of them chatted while eating. At the table, Janet looked at Nicholas, who was still very cold to her. She gritted her teeth before she asked Cole a question. “Cole, I previously mentioned that I wanted to return to the team. What do you think of that?”

Cole frowned and responded solemnly. “Your wound has not healed yet, and your injuries are in such a fatal spot. I want you to still focus on recovery as I don’t want you to have any complications in the future.”

“If I continue to rest, I may reach the limit of vacations I’m allowed to take in a year, and I would have to continue to trouble Nicholas. Alternatively, why don’t I return to the dormitory to recuperate first? I don’t have to return to the army immediately.” Janet deliberately put on an awkward expression.

Cole squinted slightly and looked at Nicholas. However, Nicholas sat still in his spot without revealing any emotion on his face. Cole thought about the situation for a while. “If you are on vacation, then you have nothing to worry about, right? I have already approved your leave, so you can rest until your injury is healed. I don’t think it’s a good idea to return to the dormitory yet. Your previous identity was exposed, and the remaining problems have not been dealt with, so we may need more time.”

After he said his piece, he turned his head to look at Nicholas. “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you with Janet for a while more, Nicholas. I can let her go back once I’m done dealing with these matters,” Cole declared firmly.
