    Chapter 307


    Naturally, Nichs needed them. So, the two decided to shop at a nearby mall for his things.


    After returning home, Tessa stood in the living room staring at Nichs while emphasizing, “I’m only


    taking you in for one night. You must leave tomorrow morning”


    Nichs shot Tessa a nce before nodding calmly.


    That night, after the two of them had washed up, Nichsy down on the sofa to get some rest. He


    had gone two days and one night without any sleep, so he still needed the rest despite being young.


    Tessa also decided to go back to the room and rest. Somehow, when she saw Nichs’ tall figure


    squeezing himself on her small sofa, she was suddenly unable to leave. Especially after she saw that


    because there was no ce to put his legs, they hung off the sofa’s armrests.


    Although Nichs had his eyes closed on the sofa, he wasn’t asleep. He sensed someone


    approaching, so he suddenly opened his eyes.


    Tessa was so taken aback by that sudden action that she took a step back.


    He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a husky voice, “What’s the matter?”


    After she recovered herposure and remembered her reasons for approaching him, her expression


    became a little unnatural.


    “Uhm, you can rest in my room for the night. I’ve moved everything out.”


    As he processed her words, his gaze fell on what Tessa was hugging, and a hint of a smile shed in


    his eyes. He didn’t refuse and simply got up and went to her bedroom.


    The night was getting darker, and the entire ce was silent. As shey on the sofa, she couldn’t fall


    asleep no matter what she did.


    In the bedroom, Nichs was tossing and turning as well but couldn’t fall asleep. Tessa’s unique


    fragrance filled his nose, which made his irritable mood for the past few days gradually calm down. At


    that moment, he seemed to havee to a decision. So, he instantly got up from the bed and wanted


    to have a chat with Tessa.

    After leaving the room, Nichs saw that Tessa, who was supposed to be lying on the sofa sleeping,


    was standing on the balcony. The smell of alcohol was in the air, and there were several empty beer


    cans by her side.


    Nichs was displeased as he noticed this and walked over. “Why are you drinking sote at night?”


    She turned at the sound of his voice, her dim eyes indicating that she was already drunk. Her


    suppressed emotions suddenly surged as she took in Nichs’s iparably handsome appearance.


    “Nichs, why are you always in my head? You’re showing up in front of me again.”


    She stumbled to him, then clutched both of his wrists, her voice indescribably aggrieved as she said,


    “I’ve already made up my mind to stay away from you, yet you always show up like this. Do you know


    that that’s against the rules? How am I supposed to stay away from you if you continue to do this?”


    During the first half of her rambling, he felt furious. But, after he heard her finalint, all of his


    anger vanished into a puff of smoke. He lowered his head and asked meaningfully, “Why?”


    “What do you mean ‘why?” she mumbled as she stared at him in a daze, her body shuddering


    He held her up and asked, “Why must you avoid me, or even stay away from me?”


    “Why am I staying away from you? Of course, it’s because we’re not suitable for each other…”


    Although she was a drunken mess, she still managed to convey the wide gap between them. “Did you


    know that you’re like the unattainable star and moon in the eyes of others? You can be seen, but you’re


    untouchable, unattainable, and unreachable.”.


    Nichs frowned, not liking what Tessa had just said.


    “You already said that that’s what other people think. Look at me. Am I not close to you now? As long


    as you reach out, you can reach me at any time,” he replied and wrapped his arms around her waist.


    Then, he lowered his head slightly, pressing it against Tessa’s cheeks.


    Standing under the moonlight, they were just a centimeter away from kissing. Their hot breaths


    intertwined in the air.


    She looked at the man’s handsome face that was suddenly up close, and her heart nearly stopped


    beating. Finally, she ced her hands on Nichs’s chest and lowered her gaze. Then, with a note of


    bitterness in her smile, she said, “Stop joking around. In the end, I’ll only be a passerby in your life.”
