That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 312

Chapter 312 Tessa was caught off guard when she saw Nicholas suddenly appear in front of her. “Why haven’t you left yet? You…” She frowned, not knowing what to say. She then glanced at the balcony. He had obviously misunderstood her relationship with Scott. Not to mention, seeing her being so reluctant to spend time with him angered him even more. Nicholas sneered, “Why? Are you eager for me to leave so that you can be with your talented musician?” “I don’t…” Tessa reflexively defended herself. However, she was interrupted by Nicholas’ cold voice before she finished speaking. “I think you do!” At this moment, Nicholas’ sanity was occupied by a little something called jealousy. “All that talk about being forced to leave the country and me causing you trouble? I bet those are excuses you’re using because you’re afraid I’ll disturb you from being with other men.” When Tessa heard his thorny remarks, she felt so embarrassed that she exploded in anger. She didn’t expect that after she gave up everything and left the country, she would be slandered by Nicholas in such a manner.

There was a sharp pain in her chest as if someone was slicing her heart with a blunt knife. She didn’t know what was wrong with her and why she felt so upset when she heard Nicholas’ statements. “Since you’ve said that, then I’ll tell you this! So what if it’s true?” Tessa looked broken as she shouted at Nicholas with red-rimmed eyes. “Who are you to me? Why do you care if I’m with someone else? What right do you have to control me?!” Nicholas was livid, and the veins on his forehead bulged in his fury. Ha! This woman actually said I have no right to care about this? Oh, the person who has the most qualifications to bother you about this matter is me! Nicholas thought angrily. She was Gregory’s mother, and since Gregory liked her so much, she couldn’t be involved with other men!

Nicholas’ dark eyes were burning, and he said sharply, “I’m not qualified? So if I became the man in your life, would that make me qualified in your eyes?!” – “Nicholas, do you know what you’re saying?” Tessa stared at Nicholas in astonishment, her eyes filled with shock. “Of course! I couldn’t be more aware!” After speaking, he didn’t give her a chance to react, as he immediately picked her up by the waist. Then, he strode to the bedroom and threw her onto the bed. The bed was soft, and she landed with a bounce before finally recovering from his bold statement “What are you doing?” she questioned him sharply with a panicked look in her eyes. Her glistening eyes looked like that of a frightened fawn, which only made him want to bully her fiercely. As he studied her, it was as if something was awoken in his body. “What am I doing? I’m becoming your man, of course!” While speaking, he threw the coat he had taken off aside, then pulled off his tie before lowering himself, trapping her between the bed and his arms. Tessa was frightened when she saw his handsome face looming closer. Upon thinking of Nicholas’ statement, she suddenly panicked. She placed her hands against his chest, her voice trembling with fear. “Go away! Get off me!” Unfortunately, she couldn’t push his heavy body away no matter how hard she tried. She was so scared that she began to fight back with her entire body, like a trapped beast making a final struggle. There were even a few times when she almost broke free from him. When he felt her determined resistance, his eyes darkened slightly, and he pressed her harder against the bed. “Don’t touch me! Get away from me!” she shouted in a hoarse voice. At this moment, Nicholas noticed that Tessa’s tearful face was filled with desperation. He was taken aback, and his heart suddenly ached. In the end, he gave up on the idea of intimidating Tessa, then lowered his head lovingly and placed a light kiss between her eyebrows.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to do anything to you.” Tessa closed her eyes as her body shuddered. It took several seconds before she reacted and opened her eyes. “Is that true?” With her eyes full of tears, she cast him a dubious look. “Of course, it’s true.” Nicholas nodded, then paused. His tone changed slightly, and he smiled meaningfully as he continued, “I’m not going to do anything else, but…”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
