Chapter 307

Naturally, Nicholas needed them. So, the two decided to shop at a nearby mall for his things.

After returning home, Tessa stood in the living room staring at Nicholas while emphasizing, “I’m only taking you in

for one night. You must leave tomorrow morning”

Nicholas shot Tessa a glance before nodding calmly.

That night, after the two of them had washed up, Nicholas lay down on the sofa to get some rest. He had gone two

days and one night without any sleep, so he still needed the rest despite being young.

Tessa also decided to go back to the room and rest. Somehow, when she saw Nicholas’ tall figure squeezing himself

on her small sofa, she was suddenly unable to leave. Especially after she saw that because there was no place to

put his legs, they hung off the sofa’s armrests.

Although Nicholas had his eyes closed on the sofa, he wasn’t asleep. He sensed someone approaching, so he

suddenly opened his eyes.

Tessa was so taken aback by that sudden action that she took a step back.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a husky voice, “What’s the matter?”

After she recovered her composure and remembered her reasons for approaching him, her expression became a

little unnatural.

“Uhm, you can rest in my room for the night. I’ve moved everything out.”

As he processed her words, his gaze fell on what Tessa was hugging, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. He

didn’t refuse and simply got up and went to her bedroom.

The night was getting darker, and the entire place was silent. As she lay on the sofa, she couldn’t fall asleep no

matter what she did.

In the bedroom, Nicholas was tossing and turning as well but couldn’t fall asleep. Tessa’s unique fragrance filled his

nose, which made his irritable mood for the past few days gradually calm down. At that moment, he seemed to

have come to a decision. So, he instantly got up from the bed and wanted to have a chat with Tessa.

After leaving the room, Nicholas saw that Tessa, who was supposed to be lying on the sofa sleeping, was standing

on the balcony. The smell of alcohol was in the air, and there were several empty beer cans by her side.

Nicholas was displeased as he noticed this and walked over. “Why are you drinking so late at night?”

She turned at the sound of his voice, her dim eyes indicating that she was already drunk. Her suppressed emotions

suddenly surged as she took in Nicholas’s incomparably handsome appearance.

“Nicholas, why are you always in my head? You’re showing up in front of me again.”

She stumbled to him, then clutched both of his wrists, her voice indescribably aggrieved as she said, “I’ve already

made up my mind to stay away from you, yet you always show up like this. Do you know that that’s against the

rules? How am I supposed to stay away from you if you continue to do this?”

During the first half of her rambling, he felt furious. But, after he heard her final complaint, all of his anger vanished

into a puff of smoke. He lowered his head and asked meaningfully, “Why?”

“What do you mean ‘why?” she mumbled as she stared at him in a daze, her body shuddering

He held her up and asked, “Why must you avoid me, or even stay away from me?”

“Why am I staying away from you? Of course, it’s because we’re not suitable for each other…”

Although she was a drunken mess, she still managed to convey the wide gap between them. “Did you know that

you’re like the unattainable star and moon in the eyes of others? You can be seen, but you’re untouchable,

unattainable, and unreachable.”.

Nicholas frowned, not liking what Tessa had just said.

“You already said that that’s what other people think. Look at me. Am I not close to you now? As long as you reach

out, you can reach me at any time,” he replied and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he lowered his head

slightly, pressing it against Tessa’s cheeks.

Standing under the moonlight, they were just a centimeter away from kissing. Their hot breaths intertwined in the

air.

She looked at the man’s handsome face that was suddenly up close, and her heart nearly stopped beating. Finally,

she placed her hands on Nicholas’s chest and lowered her gaze. Then, with a note of bitterness in her smile, she

said, “Stop joking around. In the end, I’ll only be a passerby in your life.”
