Chapter 28


    Chaptet 28


    “Hmph! Look at yourself, foot. Who would want to marry you? You’re destined to be single forever!”


    Stefania sniggered with disgust.


    Kieran was helpless upon hearing that. “Come on! Do you have any idea how many people are dying


    to marry me? You can’t ditch me like that, Mom. What am I to you? A disposable ‘rubber sheath’ that


    you have just used for once and threw away?”


    While everyoneughed in amusement after hearing his hrious reply, Roselle thoughtfully ced


    some dishes on Nichs’ te. “Nichs, I remember this is your favorite dish. Please have more of


    it.”


    Although Stefania and Tobias had noment about Roselle’s thoughtful action, Kieran couldn’t help


    but be scared for her. After all, he was aware of his brother’s mysophobia as Nichs had always


    preferred to enjoy his meals without sharing anyone else’s silverware. What is Roselle trying to prove


    by picking up and cing dishes on Nichs’ te with her own fork and spoon? Oh dear, is thisdy


    trying to make herself look special?


    Soon, Kieran peeked at his older brother and realized that he had his eyes coldly fixed on the food with


    an unhappy frown. Nheless, Nichs didn’t express his dissatisfaction but instead calmly


    expressed his gratitude. “Thank you.”


    For the next few moments, Kieran continued to observe his brother and discovered that Nichs never


    touched the dish that Roselle had just ced on his te.


    Meanwhile, Roselle also noticed that as her face slightly paled. However, she wasn’t about to give up


    like that, so she turned her attention to Gregory and grabbed a nice juicy shrimp for him. “You need to


    eat more so that you can grow healthier, Greg.”


    Nheless, as soon as the shrimp fell onto Gregory’s te, he instantly furrowed his eyebrows in


    disgust.


    A few secondster, Tessa quickly collected the shrimp and took it away from the boy’s te, smiling


    while saying, “Miss Gingham, Greg is allergic to seafood, so he can’t eat this.”

    “O-Oh, really?” Roselle reacted with a bitter smile. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that…”


    “It’s okay.” Stefania smiled in an unconcerned manner and shifted her gaze to Tessa. “I didn’t know that


    you were even aware of Greg’s allergy to seafood. You seem to know Greg well, Miss Reinhart.”


    “Well, President Sawyer told me about that.” Tessa silently lowered her head.


    In the meantime, those words sounded like jarring noises that annoyed Roselle when she heard them.


    Is thisdy trying to show off her rtionship with Nichs? Who is she to deserve Nichs’ favor?


    In spite of her irritation and frustration, Roselle hid her feelings well, though.


    At the same time, Yana, who was also unhappy with Tessa, sumbed to her evil intentions. Then,


    she ambiguously said in a coy manner, “I understand that you’re thoughtful and close with Greg, Miss


    Reinhart, but if anyone who is unaware of the situation sees this, they might probably think that you


    know everything about Greg because you had been stalking him.”


    While Yana’s words might have sounded ordinary and innocent, they inevitably portrayed Tessa in a


    bad light to make her look like she had a hidden agenda by warming up to Gregory.


    As Stefania and Tobias furrowed their eyebrows upon hearing Yana’s words, Gregory sensibly


    interfered and exined Tessa’s innocence. “I was lost a few days ago until Miss Pretty Lady found me


    and took me back to Dad. In return, Dad thanked her and treated her to a meal, which was when


    she found out about my allergy to seafood.”


    When Stefania and Tobias learned about the truth, they were both relieved to find out that Tessa was


    not like who they thought she was.


    Then, she courteously looked at Tessa and said, “Speaking of this, that little boy never stops wandering


    off, but anyway, I guess I owe you my thanks for having taken Greg back to his father.”


    Tessa smiled in relief. “You’re wee. I was just doing what I should.”


    While Nichs silently shot a gaze at his son after witnessing how he defended Tessa, Gregory looked


    back at his father and raised his eyebrowscently, as if he was trying to boast hispetence in


    protecting Tessa.


    Nichs smiled in response to his son’s behavior whereas Rosellepletely lost her appetite since


    she found it hard to continue enjoying her meal in front of Tessa. This woman is really grinding my


    gears!


    Unable to maintain the smile on her face any longer, she quickly came up with an excuse and walked


    away. “Excuse me, I need to use the washroom, so please carry on with your meals without me. I’ll be


    right back shortly.”


    The moment she turned around, her rage and wickedness filled her eyes as it surged through her.


    At the same time, Yana saw Roselle’s reaction and followed her daughter to the washroom.


    “Who is thisdy? Where the heck is she from?!” Roselle’s face twisted in anger.


    Noticing her daughter being grumpy, Yana couldn’t help but feel frustrated while trying tofort


    Roselle. “She is but a violin teacher, nothing more than a nobody. In fact, I can tell that she is just an


    ordinarydy whom we can easily get rid of. Just like crushing an ant!”


    “I want her gone then! She is such an eyesore to me!” Roselle mmed the basin with a sinister look


    on her beautiful face.
