Chapter 2289


    Nichs shook off these annoying thoughts and returned to his room.


    After a day of work, he was a little tired. He habitually poured half a ss of red wine to refresh himself. He sat on the office chair reading his school books.


    It was almost midnight, Nichs rubbed his sore eyes and stopped reading.


    "Knock knock."


    There was a knock on the door. Nichs''s face darkened and he said, "Come in."


    The door was opened carefully and a beautiful girl slowly looked inside. She looked really shy.


    "Mr. Nichs, do you want some fruit?


    I''ve just washed it."


    Reba stood there with a restrained look, with a te of freshly washed fruit in her hand. Her gaze was fixated on Nichs who was sitting on the chair. He was wearing a simple white shirt but in Reba''s eyes he looked extremely noble and charming. He had been her Prince Charming for many years.


    "Bring it in."


    Nichs smiled. Reba was Hendrix''s younger sister, and naturally he would not act too cold to her.


    A happy and sweet smile immediately appeared on her face. She walked over with light steps and ced the fruit on the table in front of him. "Mr. Nichs, did my sudden intrusion affect your studies?"


    Actually, I also wanted toe here to study to improve my English proficiency."


    "Really?


    It''s good to be ambitious. I can discuss this matter with your brother."


    Nichs praised her.


    "Do you also think that this is a good thing?


    "But my brother said that he would send me back tomorrow morning. I really don''t want to go back home. I want to stay and learn from you."


    Reba immediately showed a discontented expression, and her big eyes were also full of expectation as she looked at Nichs, hoping that she could say something for her.


    Nichs suddenly understood the purpose of her sending fruits in. He shook his head and said "This is a matter between you and your brother. I can''t interfere."


    Reba''s eyes darkened in an instant. At the same time, Hendrix pushed the door open and came in. He said angrily, "Reba, who said you coulde in and disturb Mr. Nichs?


    Come out with me."


    Reba lowered her head and followed Hendrix out like a child who had done something wrong.


    As soon as she went out, Reba became angry. "Hendrix, I will ignore you in the future if you send me back home."


    "Don''t you think I don''t know the real reason you came here."


    Hendrix suddenly lowered his voice as if he had seen through her mind.


    Reba''s face instantly turned red, and then she boldly admitted, "Yes, I came here for a reason. Is that wrong?


    "We''re both single so I came to take the initiative to pursue my love. Is there anything wrong about it? Or... you don''t want your sister to be happy?" "I didn''t mean that..." "You did."


    Reba''s eyes turned red in an instant, and she teared up. She wiped away her tears andined, "If you really treat me as your sister, then help me once. Don''t send me back home. Let me live here and study."


    "You fool, it''s not that I don''t want you to stay here, but it''s very dangerous for you to stay here. You might die at any time. Don''t you know how bad the domestic situation is?"


    Hendrix was worried about Reba''s safety, so he wanted to send her back.


    "I have more reason to stay since it''s dangerous. If I don''t have the courage to be there with him during difficult times, how can he possibly understand my true feelings?


    I don''t want to give up such a good opportunity for other women. Hendrix, don''t worry about me, I won''t go anywhere anyway. I want to live here." Reba turned and walked back to her room with a determined look after saying her thoughts.


    Hendrix: "What a stubborn girl."


    It was not an easy choice for Reba to makeing abroad. She couldn''t just leave aftering here.


    When Nichs walked out the room and saw Hendrix''s terrible expression, he knew that Hendrix must have failed to persuade her.


    "If your sister wants to stay, you can find her another ce to live. She can live elsewhere."


    Nichs kindly suggested.


    "She has been stubborn since she was young. I am afraid that she is really determined to stay here. In this case, I will have to arrange it for her." Hendrix looked helpless.


    "I know you love her. It''s a good thing that she said she wanted to stay and learn English."


    Nichs said with a smile.


    Hendrix forcefully smiled. Nichs would not have reacted that way f he knew Reba''s real purpose to stay was to get close to him. He would not have sided with her and given nice suggestions.


    After Reba returned to her room, she took a hot, shower and changed into another set of clothes. She hade prepared that time, so the clothes she had were gorgeous, which could bring out her youth and beauty. She sat in front of the makeup mirror and dolled up. She wanted to give Nichs a strong impression.


    At dinner time, Nichs sent someone to find Cecilia to invite her over for dinner. Knowing that her sister might not be able to make it back in the evening, she would have ended up eating alone.


    Reba was also at the dinner table. It was her first time meeting Cecelia and she was astounded by her beauty.


    As a woman, she was born to be hostile to girls who were more beautiful than her.


    Cecilia nned to get close to Nichs so that she could find his fatal weakness in order to kill him easier.


    It was already nned that Leana


    wouldn''t be able to make it back in


    time but Cecilia didn''t have the


    slightest hope that Nichs would continge being kind. Thus when she heard the servant call her for dinner, her mouth curved into a smile.


    Seeing how kind his gesture was, Cecelia was shocked at how sympathetic Nichs was.


    If their position and identity were different, the efforts he put in taking care of them would have made Cecilia look at him differently.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Unfortunately, they were destined to be enemies. There was no space for personal feelings in her cold heart.


    Cecilia sat quietly in her seat. She needed a servant to help her with food as she could not see.


    Reba frowned as thoughts ran in her head. "Where did this womane from? Why is she staying here?


    And she is eating with Nichs. Are they close?"


    "Ms. Xia, make yourself at home."


    Nichs said in a gentle voice, and his deep eyes were fixated on Cecilia from time to time.


    Reba started to lose appetite after a few bites as she couldn''t taste the food in her mouth. She began to question Nichs curiously, "Mr. Nichs, is Cecelia your friend?"


    "Yes."


    Nichs was stunned for a second before he nodded.


    "Have you known each other for a long time?"


    Reba asked again as she wanted to dig out more information about them.


    Seeing Reba''s reactions, Hendrix quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. "Don''t talk when you''re eating. Eat more. Talk less."
