Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819 An Odd Discovery

“I’ll eat with you and then we’ll rest together.” However, Tessa remained a lack of appetite when she was at the dinner table despite her claims.

Nicholas did not persuade her any further after seeing her placing down her cutleries after a few bites.

Following his meal, he directed the butler to have the chef prepare some soup for Tessa to eat when she awoke; she was completely unaware of this.

When she returned to her room, she slept more soundly, possibly because Nicholas was there.

What she was unaware of was that he had requested that the butler light some sleeping incense in the room ahead of time.

With enticing tenderness in his eyes, he looked at Tessa’s sleeping face.

“Have a good sleep.” He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead before hugging her to sleep. Not long after, his phone vibrated on his bedside and woke him up; it was a phone call from Edward.

“I’ve arrived in Vienna, President Sawyer.”

In response, Nicholas hummed and asked him to come to the villa right away before hanging up the phone.

He put away his phone and cast a sidelong glance at Tessa, who was still sleeping on the bed, before gently tucking her in and quietly exiting the room.

About thirty minutes later, Edward arrived at the villa. He went straight to the study room after learning Nicholas’ location from the butler.

“President Sawyer.” He entered the room after knocking.

“How’s Kathleen’s investigation coming along?” Nicholas asked coldly.

“I was going to report this. Kathleen died in an unusual way, as I discovered.” Edward gave Nicholas a solemn look.

“What exactly is going on?” After hearing his words, Nicholas squinted and gave Edward a cold stare.

“I discovered that Rorion paid Kathleen a visit two days before she died. According to the prison guard, Kathleen did not appear to have any violent reactions or negative thoughts at the time, but that night, she suddenly lost her breath.” Edward revealed everything he had discovered.

“Are you certain Kathleen has stopped breathing?” Nicholas enquired aloud.
