As soon as Nicholas said this, he caused Tessa’s answer to stay lodged in her throat.
When she saw the man’s serious and persistent expression, her heart suddenly softened, and she
pursed her lips before saying, “Give me some time to think about it.”
“Okay, I’ll give you time to think it over.” Nicholas noticed the softening of Tessa’s attitude, so he didn’t
force the issue anymore. However, in order to prevent her from delaying it any further, he added, “The
time is limited to tonight. You must give me an answer tomorrow morning”
“Tomorrow morning? That’s too soon.” Tessa frowned, feeling that it wasn’t enough
time.
He acted as if he didn’t notice her dissatisfaction. Then, he lowered his head and gave her a light kiss,
and he said with a smile, “As there isn’t much time, you have to really think about it. So I won’t bother
you anymore.
As she stared at the gradually closing door, she couldn’t help but grumble inwardly that this man was
too overbearing, but… But for some strange reason, there was a hidden burst of joy inside her. That
secret delight even made the gloom following her for days dissipate considerably.
After a simple wash, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling up ahead, somehow unable to sleep.
What he said kept echoing in her mind.
“Tessa, the only person I want is you.”
Those words haunted her as she tossed and turned on the bed, feeling like her heart was pounding out
of her chest. Finally, she couldn’t deny it any longer. She had to admit to herself that she actually liked
him.
After thinking about it, she figured that it wasn’t such a strange thing to fall for him. He was such a
wonderful man, so it was likely that no one could resist his charm.
Tessa still couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night, so she slowly opened the bedroom door.
Initially, she wanted to check if Nicholas was asleep but found that the light in the living room was still
on.
Inside the living room, he wasn’t sleeping. Instead, he was dressed in his pajamas and dealing with
work-related matters as he sat on the couch. Under the soft glow of the light, the man’s sharp aura
faded considerably, making him look harmless. However, he was still incomparably beautiful.
.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense as he suddenly raised his head. When their eyes met, she was
startled and embarrassed, feeling as though she was a peeping tom caught red-handed. In an instant,
a wave of heat crept up her cheeks. She didn’t even need to think to know that her cheeks must be red
now.
“Uh, it’s a bit hot, so I came out to take a look.” She pretended to feel hot and fanned herself:
Nicholas raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
At this point, she remembered her purpose of coming out, so she went over to him. She resolutely
stood in front of Nicholas and said, “I’ve decided.”
Nicholas intently listened on as Tessa continued, “I admit that I like you. But I don’t know if I can be with
you. To outsiders, it may seem like wishful thinking, but… In this life, I like you.” She said everything
she wanted to say all in one breath.
When Nicholas heard this, the corners of his lips raised with pleasure, his smile making him look sinful
but beautiful. He pulled the nervous Tessa into his arms, and his voice was indescribably gentle. “Since
you’re so uncertain, why don’t we give it a try? I will prove myself to you until all your doubts are
dispelled.”
Her heart trembled slightly, and she sat in his arms in a daze. She breathed in the man’s uniquely chilly
scent, the smell making her feel at ease like never before.
After hesitating for a while, she carefully reached out and wrapped her arms around the man beside
her. When he noticed her small movements, he already knew her choice, which put him in an unusually
good mood.
“Tessa,” he called out, letting the word linger as he gently caressed Tessa’s cheek with one hand while
he slowly approached her. The two kissed under the bright white light, oblivious to everything else.
Tessa lay on the bed in the dim room, touching her lips in a daze as if his breath was still on them. She
found it hard to believe that she had confirmed her relationship with him just like that.
She thought about how she left so spontaneously earlier, thinking that she would never have any
contact with him again. Who would’ve thought that not only did he
come chasing after her, but he came crashing in without warning and didn’t give her another chance to
escape.
