Chapter 675

Nicholas hid the crestfallen look on his face as he turned to look at Tessa with a gentle smile. “You’re

awake?”

Although he hid his emotions well, Tessa could still detect a little of it.

“What happened? I have a feeling that you’re unhappy.”

She walked toward him, leaned down, and circled her arms around his neck affectionately

When Timothy saw the both of them in such a loving state, a smirk crept across his face. “Nicholas is

having regrets that he wasn’t there in person to watch your performance.”

“That’s nothing. There’s still a long way ahead, and there’ll be a chance in the future. Then, she added as

she lowered her head, “The most important thing now is your injury. If you can recover from it fast, that

will set my mind at ease.”

Nicholas raised his hand and held her hand, nodding as he said gently. “I got it.”

A while later, they finished breakfast, and since Tessa had already asked for leave from Hathaway, she

could stay home with Nicholas to help him with his work by doing something simple.

Meanwhile, Gregory stayed close to her, but he was very sensible, not

pestering or disturbing her at all.

Timothy sulked when he saw how his sister fussed over Nicholas, “Tess, I have quite some work to finish

as well. So, why are you only helping him and not me?”

“Are you going to be jealous over this?” Then, she glared at Timothy playfully and said, “One day, when

you’re sick or injured like your brother in-law, I’ll help you out the same way as well.”

Then, Gregory sidled next to him and spoke in an affected tone. “Mr. Timothy, it’s tiring enough for Miss

Tessa to help my daddy. Be more

sensible. Look, I didn’t bother her at all.”

Timothy was speechless at his words, so all of them got busy in the study. chatting occasionally, and the

atmosphere was very peaceful and amiable.

In a blink of an eye, it was already noon. After lunch, Tessa ordered Nicholas to take an afternoon break.

“You’re injured now, so you should lay down and rest more,” she nagged while helping him to the

bedroom.

Nicholas tilted his head as he gazed at her pretty profile with gentle eyes. “Come with me, then,” he

whispered next to her ear, his hot breath sending a flush through her face, but she didn’t turn him down.

Back in the bedroom, he hugged her while lying in bed, and because they weren’t sleepy, they simply

talked about daily life. But, as they continued, how Nicholas looked at Tessa began to turn.

To start with, he already didn’t have much self-control when it came to her, and at this moment, when he

breathed in the light scent of her, it would be impossible for him to remain composed without any other

thoughts.

So, he lowered his head, caught her soft lips with his, and kissed her passionately. Tessa raised her

head to return his kiss, but that was all because she wouldn’t allow him to act impulsively while still

injured.

Breathless, they broke apart.

However, Nicholas appeared unsatisfied and tried to fight for his welfare. “Actually, this little injury is

nothing to me.”

With a determined face, she shot him down. “No way. Don’t even think about it.”

Nicholas was resigned to his fate, and right then, his phone, which he placed on the bedside, started

ringing-it was a call from Janet.

The look in his eyes turned cold, and he hung up without even thinking.

Tessa couldn’t suppress her curiosity when she sensed the change in his demeanor and asked, “Who

called? Why didn’t you pick it up?”

“Somebody unimportant. There’s no need to bother. Let’s rest,” he answered, coaxing her to sleep

because he didn’t want to mention Janet to spoil the mood.

On the other end, Janet’s face was glum back in the country after getting hung up.

She was also worried about Nicholas’ physical condition, but she didn’t expect that his annoyance for her

was already so obvious that he wouldn’t even pick up her call.

“Why did it turn out like this…”

She placed her phone away in disgruntlement, and couldn’t figure out where she had made a mistake.

If he hated her because of what happened in the hospital ward before, she felt that she didn’t do

anything wrong for trying to fight for the man she loved.

Why? she asked herself. Why would that man choose someone else than me?
