    Chapter 306


    After a while, he answered calmly, “I’m on a business trip.”


    A business trip?


    Tessa was stunned, but she was also unconvinced, as she figured it wasn’t possible for there to be such


    a coincidence. The area where she lived was a residential area, which was several blocks away from the


    commercial streets!


    She found it strange, and she felt that Nichs was actually looking for her. But, as soon as this thought


    popped up, she suppressed it. She had already made up her mind to forget him. But now, he suddenly


    showed up…


    As she stared at Nichs, who was standing coldly in front of her, Tessa felt overwhelmed with


    emotions. So, she turned around and nned to run off like a deserter. However, before she could take a


    step, she felt the cor around her neck tighten.


    Nichs grabbed the cor of Tessa’s shirt and pulled her back. “What are you running away for?” As he


    spoke, he let go of Tessa with slight annoyance, his voice a little cold.


    Tessa’s shoulders trembled slightly, and she reflexively retorted, “I wasn’t running away.”


    Nichs snorted, obviously not convinced. Tessa was also aware that what she had just said was rather


    hard to believe. She bit down on her lip and looked at the tall man in front of her withplex emotions,


    then said in a strained voice, “President Sawyer, I wasn’t running away. It’s for everyone’s good. I think


    we should keep our distance.”


    On the silent street, Nichs and Tessa stopd face-to-face. Beside them, shadows were cast by the


    light-one tall, one short. It painted a beautiful image from a distance that was both austere and gentle.


    However, that wasn’t the case for them.


    When Tessa said the words ‘keep our distance, Nichs began to exude a frosty aura. Tessa was so


    overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere that it felt like she was physically suffocating under pressure.


    Just as she wanted to say something to ease the stiff atmosphere, she found that the man’s oppressing


    aura had vanished. Nichs seemed to have forgotten what Tessa had just said as he said confidently, “I


    kept all my things elsewhere, and I have no


    ce to stay tonight.”


    Tessa was a little confused as she thought about how drastic the change in topic was. Also, how could


    the dignified president of the Sawyer Group have no ce to stay? Even if he didn’t have a ce to stay,


    there were many hotels around.


    “President Sawyer, there’s a hotel just down the street from here.” Tessa pretended not to understand


    Nichs’ hint and pointed him to a street.


    Nichs didn’t even look at where Tessa was pointing as he continued to stare straight at her, which


    made her ufortable. Still, she said with strongposure, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”


    Almost as soon as she spoke, she turned and left. This time, she sessfully left-it was so sessful


    that it made her feel troubled and upset.


    She walked sullenly for a while, then finally couldn’t help but stop and turn around, only to find Nichs


    leisurely following behind her with his hands in his pocket. His innate temperament gave him an


    indescribable sense of nobility.


    She forcefully suppressed her pounding heart and frowned as she asked, “Why are you following me?”


    “I already said that I have nowhere to go.” Tessa’s mood turned sour when she heard the man’s


    righteous voice.

    In the end, she had no other way but to take Nichs home. After entering the door, Tessa only said one


    sentence before going straight into the kitchen with her groceries in tow. “Make yourself at home on the


    sofa. I’ll be cooking dinner.”


    Nichs silently watched as Tessa entered the kitchen before sitting on the sofa in the living room as


    she instructed. He surveyed Tessa’s new home and found that the house was tiny, with only one


    bedroom, but the decor was cozy.


    Tessa finished cooking after a while, so she called Nichs over to eat together. During the meal, neither


    of them spoke.


    As Tessa peered at the man opposite her who was dining in silence, she actually wanted to ask about


    Gregory. However, when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back. Now that she had


    decided to stay out of their lives, it was better if she didn’t ask, lest she got hung up and could not forget


    them.


    After the meal, Tessa figured Nichs didn’t have any clothes to change into for the night, so she asked,


    “Do you want to go out to buy some clothes and toiletries?”
