Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649 Asleep

Once Cole had settled down in the condominium, Nicholas excused himself to head home. “You should get some rest too,” he told Cole. “You can always call me if you need anything.” After they left, Nicholas dropped Janet home before returning to his place since he would have to pass by her villa on his way home. However, there seemed to be a strong sense of resistance that formed a barrier around Nicholas while they were in the car.

Janet could sense it, but she didn’t waste this opportunity as it was rare for it to be just both of them in a space together. Furthermore, she wanted to clarify what she had said in the restaurant as she didn’t want there to be a gap between him and her. “Look, Nicholas. I didn’t mean anything else when I said those words in the restaurant.”

However, no matter how much she spoke, Nicholas acted as if he couldn’t hear a thing. He rested his back against the seat and shut his eyes. It looked almost like he was asleep. Janet glared at him, feeling both angry and sorry for herself simultaneously. She also felt a sense of regret—she shouldn’t have done what she had done.

Soon enough, the car stopped at the front of the villa. No matter how much Janet didn’t want to leave, she still had to get out. After she got out of the car, Edward steered the vehicle back to Dynasty Gardens. Along their trip back to the condominium, Edward had been secretly eyeing Nicholas through the rearview mirror. Could President Sawyer really be asleep? But doesn’t he always have his guard up when there are outsiders around?

Little did Edward know that Nicholas was just finding a way to ignore Janet. His upbringing taught him that it wouldn’t be right to act impolitely, so Nicholas had to find another way to make it seem like Janet didn’t exist at all. When he returned home, he realized how the house was oddly silent.

“Where’s Gregory, Andrew?” Nicholas turned to ask the other man.

“Young Master Gregory is asleep,” Andrew replied honestly.

“Asleep?” Nicholas was somewhat puzzled. He looked at the time to see that it was only 9.00PM. “Is Gregory not feeling well?” Nicholas asked with a frown. Finally, he spoke as he strode over to Gregory’s room. In the past, Gregory would only sleep at such an early hour if he wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise, the young boy’s energy was enough to last him until 10.00PM at least.
