    Chapter 641


    J pretended as if she didn’t realize how annoyed Nichs was as she brought her lunch box to the


    dining table with a smile. “I know you don’t like sweet stuff, so I put less sugar in this.” She served the


    desserts as she spoke.


    Tessa pressed her lips into a straight line on the other end of the call. This woman shows up in the


    house early in the morning, and speaks in a weird tone. What’s going on here? Tessa didn’t say


    anything as she wanted to see what the woman was trying to do.


    Nichs immediately noticed the look on Tessa’s face, and his expression darkened as well. He hadn’t


    expected J to be such an insensitive woman. However, when he recalled the favor that Cole had


    asked from him, he suppressed the annoyance he felt before speaking in a cold tone. “You shouldn’t


    strain yourself if you’re not feeling well. Gregory and I don’t like eating such things, anyway.”


    Gregory agreed in a firm tone. “Yeah. I don’t like eating such things either.” J stood awkwardly in


    her spot as she listened to the both of them talking. She was utterly frustrated-she hadn’t expected


    Nichs to embarrass her in such a manner. However, she wasn’t about to give up just yet. “What do


    you guys like to eat, then? I’ll prepare you guys’ favorite food next time,” she said with a forced smile.


    Nichs pressed his brows into a stern frown. “It’s fine. I can get my cook to prepare whatever it is that


    I want to eat.” Tessa couldn’t help but burst intoughter when she heard Nichs’ heartlessment


    through the call. She pressed her hand over her mouth and stuck her tongue out when she saw


    Nichs ncing at her. Shh, she mouthed while looking at Nichs.


    He simply gave her an exasperated stare without saying anything. Gregory, who was right beside them,


    understood the look on Tessa’s face. He covered his mouth with his hand to show that he wouldn’t say


    anything either. Although Tessa had quickly shushed herself after letting out augh earlier, J was


    sharp enough to notice the sound. She instinctively nced in the direction of Nichs’ phone on the


    table. She couldn’t see much because of the angle she was standing, but her gut feeling told her he


    was on a call.


    When she saw the loving gaze in Nichs’ eyes, she was even more confident of her suspicions. Her


    chest tightened as she came to this realization. Could Tessa be on the other end of the line? The more


    she thought about it, the more she felt like it was true. Does that mean that theugh that I heard


    earlier was the sound of that b*tchughing at me?! She was fuming as she felt like Tessa had just


    shamed her. Who is she tough at me?! J clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but she still


    kept the same smile on her face. “Nichs…”

    “Is anything else the matter?” Nichs interrupted J in an icy tone. It was evident that he wanted to


    chase her off. J found it hard to keep the smile on her face at this point. She took a deep breath.


    Since she knew Nichs didn’t want her to stay, she decided she wouldn’t force her way into his ce


    anymore.


    Furthermore, she didn’t mind getting rejected by Nichs, but she couldn’t bear the idea of Tessa, her


    love rival, making a fool out of her. This would make her feel like she had lost. Since you guys don’t


    enjoy these dishes, I won’t make them in the future.” She tugged her lips into a forced smile. “I just


    recalled that I hadn’t taken my medication because I was in a rush. I’ll head home now.” J turned


    and left after that.


    The moment she turned around, a sour expression reced the smile on her face. I will make Tessa


    pay for putting me in such an awkward position today! It’s not that easy to make a fool out of me.


    J stormed out of the dining hall only to hear a sweet-sounding voicee from inside. “That’s nice.


    You have a girl sending desserts to you early in the morning.” Tessa was teasing Nichs with a smile


    on her face, but the smile didn’t seem to reach her eyes.


    Nichs immediately knew that Tessa had misunderstood him when he saw the look on her face. He


    curled his lips as he felt rather pleased. “She’s the friend who was previously ill. Someone asked me to


    help care for her after she was discharged from the hospital, so I’m watching over her temporarily.


    She’s staying in a house near us, but she’s not staying with us.”


    The uneasy feeling in Tessa’s chest was gone after that.
