Chapter 382


    Chapter 382


    Tessa wanted to hide in a hole. “Nichs!” She gritted her teeth angrily.


    Whoops. She’s angry. Gotta distract her. He put on his puppy pout. “I’m hungry.” He hade over


    right after he disembarked, so he hadn’t gotten any food. After the earlier exercise, his stomach was


    already growling


    Tessa paused. She had never seen him putting on a puppy pout. In the end, she couldn’t let him starve,


    so she got out of bed. “I’ll make something for you.”


    Nichs looked at her, and a smile curled his face. He wore his clothes and went out with her. Ti was


    making something in the kitchen, and Nichs felt happy seeing her like that. It felt like home.


    Tessa was done cooking in half an hour. She made a simple ramen, but it smelled great. She served it


    on the table and asked Nichs toe over.


    They sat across from each other, the light casting their shadows on the wall. When they were done with


    supper, Tessa stacked the dishes before her and looked at Nichs. “How long are you staying?”


    Nichs answered honestly, “One day. I’ll have to leave after tomorrow.”


    Tessa was visibly disappointed.


    Nichs didn’t want to leave her, but he had no choice. He exined, “I canceled some work for this


    trip. That’s why I don’t have much time. I’ll make sure I free up more of my schedule next time.”


    Tessa was surprised that he canceled work just to see her. She felt guilty, but also touched. “I’m fine.


    You don’t have toe all the way to Vienna.”


    “I know, but I don’t want to leave you unhappy.” He looked at her, his gaze serious. For some reason,


    ever since they got together, he couldn’t ever leave Tessa unhappy, nor would he let her cry. Every time


    she did, it felt like someone was stabbing his heart.


    Their eyes met, and Tessa fell into his gentle gaze. She felt touched that Nichs was so thoughtful


    when it came to her.

    They sat together on the couch after dinner and had a long chat. Most of the time, Tessa was the one


    who talked. She talked about the things that happened in her orchestra and also the interesting stuff


    she saw when she was out with Hathaway.


    Nichs was a good listener. He seldom spoke, but he wouldn’t let Tessa feel like she was the only


    one who was talking. A lot of times, he coulde to great conclusions.


    “I wish time could go slower.” Tessa looked at the clock on the wall, and she sighed.


    Nichs knew she didn’t want him to leave, and he smiled. “We have a lot of time ahead of us. You


    don’t have to feel down because of this.”


    Tessa nodded. She knew that, but she just didn’t want to say goodbye. She used to be an independent


    girl, but ever since she got into a rtionship, she started getting dependent on Nichs,


    Nichs noticed that she was still looking sad, and he scraped her nose. “It’s alright. Don’t be sad. I’ll


    come over whenever I have time.”


    Tessa feltforted. She held his hand and smiled sweetly. “Remember to bring Greg along with you.


    He’s probably going toin to me tomorrow, and I bet he’ll argue with you once you get back.”


    Tessa smiled as she was reminded of Gregory’s antics.


    Nichs didn’t really care. “It’s alright. He doesn’t know I’m here.”


    Tessa blinked, and she realized what he was getting at. Oh, so he lied to the boy again. She asked


    curiously, “How did you manage to hoodwink him this time?”


    “I told him I was going on a business trip.”
