Chapter 311


    Chapter 311


    “But, since you’re here, I think you should really get the full experience of my alma mater. Remember,


    this is a happy experience, not a sad one.”


    Tessa was taken aback for a moment then she understood that Scott was just trying to cheer her up. At


    that moment, she was touched and warmed by his kindness.


    Afterward, the two of them took a detailed tour of the university. Scott was a conscientious tour guide,


    as he brought her to all the interesting spots in the school. He didn’t even miss out on the school’s


    grove, at which they interrupted many couples from having a good time.


    After leaving the school, he continued to bring her around to visit many famous sights in Vienna.


    Perhaps it was because of his remarks at the beginning of their adventure; it gave her the chance to let


    down her hair and actually have fun as she thoroughly enjoyed her day. She felt so great that the smile


    on her face never disappeared


    In the evening, Scott brought Tessa to a local bar with a particrly artistic atmosphere for a drink.


    Unlike the noisy environment at the other bars, this ce was rtively quiet. It was simply the best


    portrayal of leisure as they enjoyed their time under the yellowish lights, soothing music, and private


    guest tables.


    “I never knew a bar could have such an atmosphere.” Tessa curiously surveyed her surroundings, and


    her gaze slowly filled with love for this bar.


    Scott smiled and said, “If you like it, you could visit more often in the future.”


    Tessa nodded and continued drinking with Scott.


    As time flew by, it waste at night before they knew it. Scott nced at the tipsy girl opposite him, and


    his gaze was particrly gentle. “It’ste. Let me take you back.”


    “Is itte?” Tessa dazedly checked her phone for the time. “It’s almost midnight. We should really get


    going.”


    She staggered as she stood up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her. After they settled the bill,


    the two of them walked out of the bar.


    “We’re here. Please have a safe trip back. Thank you for today. I truly appreciate it. I’ll treat you to a


    drink some other day.”


    As they arrived at the residence’s entrance, Tessa stumbled out of the car. The fun she had today,


    coupled with the alcohol in her system, made her feel like she was floating on cloud nine.

    Scott was uneasy as he watched Tessa, who was standing outside the car window, swaying left and


    right due to the alcohol in her system. So, he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and walked


    over to her. “Which floor are you on? I’ll escort you home.”


    “No, no, it’s fine. I can go back on my own. You should hurry back.” Tessa broke away from Scott and


    stood firmly to the side, looking much soberer.


    Upon noticing that her eyes didn’t look unfocused or too wasted, he didn’t force the matter. Tessa


    watched as the car gradually disappeared down the road, then she turned and was about to walk back


    to her unit.


    She looked around her room and found that it was dark, and it was evident that no one was in it.


    Click! The originally dark living room lit up when she turned on the lights.


    Then, she closed the door and walked into the living room, only to find that Nichs had cleared up the


    dining table. She didn’t see his clothes on the sofa either. She pursed her lips and sat on the sofa as


    she stared at the white wall in front of her, her vision unfocused.


    There was silence all around, the only sound being the asional noise of car engines from the cars


    passing by outside the window.


    After a certain period of time, Tessa recovered from her stupor. She breathed a sigh of relief as she


    saw the empty and silent room. But she didn’t manage to savor that relief until a sharp pain stabbed


    through her heart.


    She couldn’t help but reach up to ce her hand on her heart, feeling difort in that area, as if


    something was missing, leaving it empty.


    “Isn’t this good? There’s nothing to be sad about,” Tessaforted herself.


    After a while, perhaps her self-hypnosis had an effect, as she didn’t feel so ufortable anymore.


    So, she decided to wash up in her room. However, she hadn’t even taken two steps before a tall, dark


    figure stepped out from the balcony, to her surprise.


    Nichs came from behind and trapped Tessa up against the wall. Then, a voice


    containing slight anger sounded in Tessa’s ears. “That man must be the real reason you’re driving me


    away, am I right?!”


    It turned out that Nichs, who had been standing on the balcony, saw Scott sending Tessa back. He


    grew irritated as he thought she might have been with that man the entire day, so his remarks were


    barbed.
