That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Nicholas purposefully let his sentence hang in the air, and then he kissed Tessa on the lips. “I must do this!” Her eyes widened as she felt his lips on hers, and she stared blankly at him as her mind went blank with shock. He didn’t mind her inattention as he continued to kiss her intently. He kissed her much more tenderly this time than he did the previous night. She was almost immersed in it again. While she was in a trance, her hands unconsciously clutched the sheets under her. The atmosphere in the room gradually became heated. Before Nicholas let go of Tessa, his breathing heavy, a long time had passed. Looking at the dazed girl on the bed, he made a decision. “Be with me, Tessa. Come back to me…” She was stunned when she heard his plea. After being lost in thought for a moment, she exclaimed in shock, “Nicholas, do you know what you’re saying? You must be crazy!” “I’m not crazy!” He pressed down hard on her shoulders, his face even more solemn than ever before.

He fixed her with his dark gaze. “Whether you believe it or not, I just want to keep you by my side. Not only because Gregory likes you, but because I can’t live without you either!” Her head exploded with a bang at that declaration, leaving her in a blank state. Her eyes widened, and her dark pupils were filled with disbelief. “You… Is this you confessing to me?” “Yes.” He nodded. Tessa was in utter bewilderment now. Looking at the girl who had fallen silent again, he pressed her for an answer, “So, what’s your answer?” She looked at the man’s serious expression. Everything that had been happening lately flashed past her mind, and her mood was a different type of complicated. If you get involved with my grandson, the people around you will lose their original lives because of you.

At this moment, Remus’ statement rang through her ears. . In the end, Tessa closed her eyes, her hoarse voice carrying a hint of bitterness. “I’m sorry.” Unsurprisingly, Nicholas’ expression was a little awful. After all, he was rejected after confessing for the first time. Anyone else would’ve been in a bad mood too. When she saw the bitter look on his face, a trace of fear emerged inside her, and she felt that she had been too hasty with the rejection. She would certainly suffer if he was further enraged, especially since they were alone. At this thought, she hastened to fix the situation. “Nicholas, I’ve said it before. We’re not suitable for each other, and I can’t afford to be a part of the Sawyer Family. I just want to be an ordinary person and not be held back from doing what I like.” For some reason, after saying this, Tessa felt her heart ache as if someone had pierced it with a needle. Although she tried her best to hide the sadness in her eyes, Nicholas still caught it. As he sensed that Tessa wasn’t as indifferent as she seemed, his expression eased slightly. Combined with what she had just said previously, he knew that a large part of the reason she rejected him was because of the pressure from Remus. As he thought of this issue, his expression was serious as he promised, “If you want to pursue your dream, I won’t stop you, and I’ll even support you. Of course, that also means I will never allow anyone to stop you either.” She was astonished. She didn’t expect that he would still insist on being with her after such a rejection The man’s serious voice sounded in her ears again. “You don’t have to care about what other people think, especially those who have opinions about us being together. It’s my marriage, and I can make my own decisions. No one can stop me from doing what I want.” Nicholas paused for a moment once he said that. Then, he met her gaze fearlessly, and his dark pupils showed deep affection for her. He said, “Tessa, the only one I want is you.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

She was dazed and flustered, but it was mixed with joy too. However, reason calmed her down in no time. Although Nicholas’ words made her heart flutter, there were too many problems between them. Not to mention, how could Nicholas possibly… like her? Perhaps he noticed the disbelief in her gaze, so he hurriedly added, “I won’t be accepting any rejections from you.”
