Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685

Once Tessa finished saying that, she placed the tray in her hand on the coffee table carefully.

Meanwhile, Cole had been quietly observing the interaction between the two from when Tessa walked in. At this juncture, he practically didn't need to guess as he could see through the relationship between the two, especially when the unconcealed tenderness in Nicholas' eyes was crystal clear.

And thus, he carefully observed Tessa.

This girl looks young and petite. Yet, she has the unique gentility of a girl coming from Jedburgh. Wearing a simple long-sleeved dress, she exudes an indescribable comforting aura all over her. He could not help but feel a little surprised when he observed until this point. Well, I never expected Nicholas to actually fancy this type of girl.

"Nicholas, aren't you going to introduce her?" Cole coughed lightly and looked at Nicholas with a smile. Nicholas stepped forward and hugged Tessa upon hearing that remark. Then, he introduced her with an inexpressible gentleness. "This is my fiancee, Tessa Reinhart."

He paused momentarily, then continued to introduce Cole to Tessa. "This is the superior I mentioned to you before. You can call him Mr. Spurse."

Tessa greeted with a gracious smile. "Mr. Spurse."

Cole nodded in greeting as well. "Hello."

The three exchanged simple pleasantries for a while. Later, Tessa excused herself as she could sense that the two had something important to discuss.

After Nicholas saw Tessa off, he sat back down on the sofa.

He went straight to the point and directly discussed the matter regarding the disclosure of Cole's whereabouts last time after taking a sip of tea.

"Have you found any information about the matter relating to the disclosure of your whereabouts this time?"

When Cole heard that, his facial expression froze slightly. Shortly after, he regained his composure. "I handed the investigation of this matter over to my subordinates, so I am still unsure about the specific situation."

Nicholas stared straight at Cole upon hearing that.

Even though Cole masked his expression well just now, he still captured something unusual, especially how he froze before speaking

At that moment, he thought of his previous guess and cast him a meaningful look. "Mr. Spurse, do you not want to say it? Or are you trying to cover for her?"

Since Cole was already feeling a little guilty in the first place, his eyes flickered even more now that he had heard these words.

Without a doubt, Nicholas caught everything and was even more confident in his guess. "That person is Janet, isn't it?"

Although Kis words sounded like an inquiry, the expression on his face showed clear affirmation.

Cole was rendered speechless by his question.

The moment Nicholas saw this, he instantly knew that he was right.

So, he frowned as he said in a disapproving manner, "Do you think it's the right thing to do to cover for her like this?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Cole sighed. At this moment, he knew it was pointless for him to hide the truth anymore, so he admitted it frankly. "Janet did this because of you."

"Go ahead and keep spoiling her. She has already violated the principle that makes a human being by acting unscrupulously."

Nicholas showed apparent disdain for her actions and also expressed his stance. "After the mission is complete, you can take her away. I have helped you take care of her long enough." Cole hesitated for a while because he knew Janet had gone too far this time.

However, he felt that he could justify Janet's action since she had a reason behind it.
