Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 916

Chapter 916 Taken a Liking to Nicholas

Tessa knew Nicholas was worried about her body’s condition, so she took a step forward and held his hand. “I was worried as you haven’t come back yet. Don’t worry. I can take care of myself.” She smiled.

Hearing her words, Nicholas knew he couldn’t do anything to change her mind. So, he just looked at her and said, “Oh, you…” “Oh right, have you eaten yet? I have the servant heated up some soup for you in the kitchen. I’ll get it for you. Do you want some?” Tessa smiled and changed the topic.

When Nicholas heard her words, he didn’t refuse, as this was her token of regard.

At the same time, Eunice, who had been out playing all day, had returned home. As she walked up the stairs, she noticed that the lights in the study room were still on. So, she walked over and knocked on the door.

“Daddy, it’s getting late now. Why aren’t you resting?” she said with concern as she leaned against the door.

In the study room, a man with gray hair sat against the huge office table. There were many wrinkles on him, and he was slightly fat. Still, one could see that he used to be a handsome gentleman from his facial features. This man was Eunice’s father, Walter, who was in charge of a listed company with millions of workers. So, aside from being a musician, Eunice was also a rich young woman.

“I’m still not done with the company affairs.” As Walter spoke, he could sense Eunice reeked of alcohol. “Why are you home so late? Don’t you know that drinking and staying out till late at night is dangerous for a woman?” He frowned, displeased about his daughter’s behavior.

As Eunice heard his words, she knew he was just concerned about her, so she didn’t mind his tone. “I was just hanging out with some friends at the clubhouse, and I lost track of time.”

Hearing her words, Walter dismissed her, as he didn’t want to think about it any further, knowing that he couldn’t do anything about her. “Since you’re back, clean up yourself and get to bed. Don’t you have to be at the orchestra early in the morning tomorrow?” he said.

At that moment, Eunice obliged and was ready to leave when she suddenly remembered something. Then, she stopped and asked, “Daddy, can you do me a favor?”

“What is it?” Walter asked.

“Can you help me look into a person called Nicholas Sawyer? He is a businessman from Xerthania,” said Eunice as she decided to take some time to get to know him since she wanted to win his heart.
