Chapter 468


    Chapter 468


    Hayley didn’t budge, though. She stubbornly held her head up, asking, “Nichs, I want to know if I’ve


    done anything wrong and offended you. Why are you being so cold to me now?”

    Nichs stared fixedly at Hayley with an inscrutable look in his dark eyes while emanating a terrifying


    aura through every pore.


    Sensing the pressureing at her, Hayley only felt as if there was a huge mountain on top of her


    chest, making her almost unable to breathe. However, she was unwilling to back down, so she bit her


    lower lip and persisted in meeting Nichs’ gaze. “Could I have done something that made you


    upset?”


    As soon as she finished her sentence, the door to the elevator behind her opened with a Ding!


    Seeing that the elevator door had opened, Nichs didn’t want to waste time on Hayley any longer. His


    thin lips parted, and he said cruelly, “No, you didn’t.” This chapter is provided by infobagh. Visit


    infobagh for daily update. With that, he walked past her and entered the elevator.


    Hayley’s hands clenched into fists by her sides as she watched the man coldly close the elevator door


    by pressing the button. She clenched her teeth. This chapter is provided by infobagh. Visit

    Nichs had gotten along well with Tessa when she spied on them earlier. Nichs wasn’t like this at


    the time. Could this man’s tenderness be reserved for no one but Tessa, that b*tch?! The more she


    thought about it, the more indignant she was. What is it about me that makes me iparable with


    that b*tch and causes Nichs to turn up his nose at me like this?


    Suddenly, she turned around and returned to the ward as if she had made a decision.


    When Remus saw Hayley return to the ward looking upset, he knew without thinking that she had


    probably been spurned by Nichs. Heforted her, saying, “Don’t be discouraged. One day,


    Nichs will understand that you’re the better person for him.”


    Hayley didn’t respond to his words, though. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly said, “Old Master


    Sawyer, there’s something that I haven’t told you, actually.”


    “What is it?”


    “Tessa hase back to the country, and she’s been living with Nichs these days.”


    Remus was dumbstruck at once. The next instant, he knitted his brows with a dark expression. It never


    urred to him that Tessa woulde back. At the same time, he felt that it was all because of Tessa


    that Nichs was being so cold toward Hayley. Taking a look at the dejected Hayley, he said in a


    gentle voice, “I got it. You should go back first.”


    Hayley nodded and left. She knew very well that Remus would definitely deal with Tessa upon learning


    that she hade back, so all she had to do was wait and see.


    What Hayley thought was indeed true, for as soon as she left, Remus ordered, “Ian, call Tessa and tell


    her that I want to see her.”


    Meanwhile, in the Silverscape Theater, Tessa had a lot of free time on her hands since she wouldn’t be


    performing and didn’t need to rehearse. A whileter, just as she was idling backstage, she got a call


    from Ian. He said, “Miss Reinhart, Old Master Sawyer would like to see you. Pleasee over as soon


    as possible.”


    “I got it. I’ll be there right away,” Tessa said before hanging up. In fact, she wasn’t surprised to get a


    phone call from Remus. Upon returning to the country, she had prepared herself in case she might face


    him again. This time, however, she had no intention of backing down.


    Half an hourter, she stood outside the ward with some healthcare products in her hands. Then, she


    took a deep breath and put up her hand to knock on the door.


    “Come in.” Remus’ deep voice rang from behind the door.


    When Tessa pushed the door open and entered, she saw Remus sitting with his back against the head


    of the bed while looking pretty fine. “Hello, Old Master Sawyer,” she greeted while handing the


    healthcare products in her hand to Ian beside her.


    Remus narrowed his eyes. After looking Tessa up and down, he said, “Have a seat.”


    Tessa nodded before sitting on the couch.


    Remus adjusted his posture to a morefortable sitting position. Looking down at Tessa, he asked in


    a grim and frosty voice, “You probably know why I called you over today, don’t you?”


    “Yeah, I do.”


    “Since you know that, shouldn’t you exin to me what you’reing back for? Did you forget what


    you’d promised me previously?” Remus fixed Tessa with a quietly terrifying look as if wanting to make


    her shrink back.
