Chapter 707
‘Tessa also didn‘t want to waste time on Yvette. Hence, she left right after warning the latter. “Don‘t latch yourself onto my brother ever again, or I won‘t go easy on you.”
As Yvette watched Tessa leave, she was so mad that she almost screamed. At this moment, she couldn‘t deny it anymore: she had really been blind!
After going home, Tessa forgot all about Yvette, accompanying Gregory in his violin practice in the music room. The two had a happy time together.
In the evening, Nicholas returned. When he saw Tessa sitting alone in the living room, he couldn‘t help but ask, “Where‘s Greg?”
“He‘s upstairs doing the homework his tutor assigned him,” Tessa reported honestly. Then, she got up and went over to Nicholas, helpfully taking his briefcase fro
Nicholas took her hand and led her upstairs as if it were the most natural thing in the world. As he walked, he asked, “You‘ve been home all day?”
“Not really. I delivered Timothy‘s lunch at noon.”
When Tessa mentioned this, she remembered Yvette and her father. She couldn‘t help but tell Nicholas about it.
“I keep feeling that Yvette isn‘t someone to give up so easily. I‘m a little worried that she will bother my brother again in the future.”
When Nicholas saw the worry on the lady‘s face, he put an arm around her shoulders to comfort her. “Don‘t worry. I‘ll keep an eye on them when you‘re away. If they don‘t know their place, I‘ll take action.”
Hearing that, Tessa felt touched, knowing Nicholas was only concerned about her brother because of her.
“I‘m glad to have met you.”
She couldn‘t help but embrace Nicholas. Nicholas looked at the sweetly smiling lady in his arms, and he couldn‘t hold back in teasing her. “That‘s all?”
Tessa gazed at the man‘s mischievous expression, and she knew what he was thinking.
“What about this?”
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Nicholas‘ pink lips.
It was a soft touch that lasted for only a fleeting moment, but Nicholas could hardly be satisfied by a shallow kiss like this. He wrapped his arms tightly around Tessa‘s waist, then lowered his head and deepened the kiss.
For the next two days, it was as Tessa predicted; Yvette didn‘t want to give up on Timothy just yet. for she kept watch at the entrance of the company.
