Chapter 692 Let Him Go
While sitting next to Nicholas, Tessa poured two glasses of wine for them sensibly.
Janet was unhappy as she felt excluded when she saw how the three were enjoying themselves.
At this time, Cole continued, “I’ll bring Janet with me when I head back this time. Thank you for taking care of her throughout this time.”
Her face darkened as soon as she heard this. She didn’t want to go back. She felt that if she left now, she would never have a chance at all.
But… when she saw how Nicholas didn’t react to her leaving, she felt her heart ache.
Did this man really want her to leave?
When Tessa noticed the reluctance in Janet’s eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable but did not take it to heart.
Everyone was ready to leave once dinner was over.
However, Janet gritted her teeth and walked up to Nicholas expectantly. “Can we talk?”
“We don’t have anything to talk about,” he answered indifferently before putting his hand on Tessa’s shoulders. Then, he leaned onto her affectionately and softly said, “Let’s go.”
Tessa nodded and walked away with him a little laboriously.
He drank a lot of wine over dinner and was a little tipsy; he had leaned half his weight on her.
As Janet watched the silhouettes of the two people about to walk away, she felt extremely aggrieved.
When Cole noticed the ugly expression on her face, he stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder, and persuaded her, “Let him go. If you continue to force your way in like this, you might not even be able to be friends with Nicholas in the future.”
She was even more unwilling when she heard this, but deep down, she knew he was right.
If she continued to do this, Nicholas would only become more and more disgusted with her.
As she thought of this, she quickly chased after him. “Nicholas.”
“Is there anything else?”
Nicholas looked at the woman in front of him with evident impatience.
Janet felt a stab in her heart when she saw this. However, she took a deep breath and looked at Tessa coldly before saying, “I hope you will be with Nicholas forever.”
After she finished speaking, she ignored the looks on both Tessa and Nicholas’ faces as she strode away past them.
Tessa was a little stupefied, feeling a little strange because she didn’t expect Janet to say such a thing.
Nonetheless, Tessa hoped from the bottom of her heart that Janet was finally letting the man go.
At this time, Cole also came over to say goodbye with a smile. “It’s time for me to leave as well. You two should take care on the way back and don’t take what Janet says to heart.”
He actually directed his last sentence toward Tessa, who understood what he meant and nodded gently.
She also did not take Janet’s words to heart because Tessa knew that Nicholas’ heart was always with her.
As they watched Cole leave, Nicholas slightly tightened his arms around her. “He seemed to be in a good mood and exclaimed, “Let us go as well.”
Tessa nodded and left with him in her arms.
As they walked out of the restaurant, a worried Tessa looked at Nicholas’ face. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
He knew she would be afraid he would hurt his wound by drinking, so he nodded her head with a smile. In fact, his wounds had almost recovered after these few days.
Alongside what Nicholas said, Tessa noticed no hint of discomfort on his face and was immediately relieved as she carefully supported him into the car.
Unexpectedly, they were photographed by Yvette, who had been following them all the way from when they came out of the restaurant to when they entered the car.
Yvette looked at the photos on her phone triumphantly and sneered, “B*tch, wait until I send these photos to Timothy. Then, we’ll see how you will try and take my man from me!”
As she said this, she began to edit the picture and started typing, “Tim, you can clearly see that this woman is playing around with other men when she’s with you. Such a flirtatious woman is not worthy of you at all.”
On the other end, Timothy was still working overtime when he received the text.
He glanced at the picture, saw his sister and brother-in-law in it, and immediately frowned with displeasure.
