    He was adamant about not marrying Hayley. Stefania shut up. She had had a lot to say, but now she


    couldn’t even say a word, so she looked to her husband for help. Tobias frowned. “Why do you hate


    Hayley so much? At least give us a reason. Do you have someone you like? Or is it about something


    else?” Stefania agreed. “Yes. You must have a reason, and don’t tell me it’s Gregory. I won’t ept


    that.” Nichs’ face fell, and his eyes were filled with impatience. If it weren’t because of the timing, he


    would have told his parents about his rtionship with Tessa. However, it wasn’t the time yet. If he told


    them that, he knew they would attack Tessa. And so, he came up with an excuse. “I don’t like her. Is


    that enough?” “You’ve never even tried getting along with her. Of course you don’t like her.” Stefania


    didn’t like this reason. “I say you should spend time with her. You’ll love her, I’m sure. Your father and I


    have been observing her, and she’s a really gooddy.” Nichs’ patience finally ran out, and he said


    coldly, “I said I don’t like her. It’ste. I’ll get Andrew to arrange a driver for you guys. You should go


    home.” He sent them away despite their protests. … Tessa was in Vienna, and she didn’t know that


    Nichs was being forced to marry again. Their contact had been infrequenttely, but she didn’t


    comin or disturb him. She knew he was busy and there were a lot of things he needed to handle,


    though she did miss him when she was alone at night. Another month passed, and Hathaway finally


    confirmed the date of performance in Xerthania at the end of the month. She gathered everyone in the


    practice room to make arrangements. “Aside from the regr members, Tessa will be going with us as


    well.” She looked at Tessa lovingly. It had been a long time, and she knew Tessa must be missing her


    family. Surprised, Tessa thanked her. “Thank you, Miss Hathaway.” Hathaway smiled and talked about


    the other arrangements. Tessa was looking forward to the day of her return. After she went back home


    and freshened herself up, she video-called Nichs. She wanted to tell him about the good news and


    share the happiness, but before she could say anything, she was shocked by how lethargic Nichs


    looked. “Nichs, you don’t look too good.” In the video, Nichs looked awful. His face was filled with


    exhaustion, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn’t slept well for a while. “I’m fine. Just


    overwhelmed with work. And it’s raining a lot, so some old conditions are popping up. I’ll be fine in a


    bit.” Nichs was assuring her, but that still worried Tessa. She knew that his condition would keep him


    awake at night. “Did you ask for the doctor? Did he prescribe any painkillers?” “Yes, and yes. Don’t


    worry.” Nichs could see that she was worried, and he smiled at her. Tessa knew he wouldn’t lie, and


    she felt more at ease. She knew it wasn’t the time to share her happiness, and she urged, “Well, you’d


    better take the meds and get some rest.” Nichs didn’t want to hang up so soon, but he nodded, lest


    she get worried. Tessa was still worried even after they hung up. She was reminded of the meds


    Timothy used when it was raining. Maybe Nichs can use them too. She then called her brother. “It’s


    late, Tessa. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
