Chapter 643


    Chapter 643


    Nichs’ face turned cold and displeased once he heard what J said as he felt lik had


    overstepped her boundaries and was meddling with his business. “I can do whatever I want. I don’t like


    it when others try to direct how I live my life,” he uttered.


    The smile on J’s face froze once she heard his words. He’s talking about me as if I’m some


    stranger again! I’m not a stranger! We were once partners who went to hell and back!


    “Nichs, 1-“She wanted to remind him that she wasn’t just any stranger, but he interrupted her before


    she could finish her words. “This is thest time I’m going to warn you about this. I’m only allowing you


    to be here because you have to heal from your wounds. You’re not supposed to be running around”


    He shot her a cold re.


    When J met the man’s dark and icy re, she no longer felt the urge to say anything. She knew


    that the man would altogether refuse to see her in the future if she were to be a little more


    straightforward. At that thought, she silently gritted her teeth and forced her resentment back down her


    throat. “I got it. I won’t run around anymore, Nichs. But the soup…” She gazed at him hopefully,


    praying that he would take it.


    Nichs pressed his eyebrows, forming wrinkles on his skin. “I’ll take it this time, but I don’t want you to


    do such pointless things in the future.


    “I got it. There will be no next time,” she replied while nodding. But, of course, she didn’t entirely mean


    her words.


    Right when Nichs was about to chase J out, Stefania pushed the door open and walked into the


    room. The moment Stefania entered the room, she saw J standing by the office desk. A look of


    confusion shed across her face when she saw the sk on the table. “Who’s this, Nichs?”


    “You must be Nichs’ mother! Hello. I’m J, Nichs’ ex-partner. I’m staying around here to


    recover from my injuries.” J knew who Stefania was, so she introduced herself before Nichs


    introduced her. J pressed her lips into a pleasant smile. “Since Nichs has been caring for me for


    so long, I figured I would make some soup for him,” shemented.


    Stefania was pleased to hear J’s words-it showed Stefania that J was an appreciative and


    grateful woman. “What a kind girl. Please tell Nichs if there’s anything that you need,” Stefania


    uttered with a loving smile.


    After that, she turned to give Nichs a reminder. “You should take good care of J as well. She’s a


    girl, and she’s here all on her own,” Stefania said. He nodded firmly after hearing his mother’s words. “I


    got it,” he mumbled.


    Stefania no longer continued the topic after that. “Where’s Gregory?” she asked instead.


    “He’s with Kieran,” Nichs replied tly.


    She couldn’t help but nag when she heard his answer. “I don’t know what to say to you anymore. Do


    you think it’s okay to bring Gregory out for a whole day at work? Aren’t you worried that


    something might happen?”


    “There are people everywhere, and Gregory’s an obedient boy who doesn’t run off on his own So, what


    could possibly happen?” Nichs was puzzled by his mother’s usations.


    Stefania seemed racher angry at this point. “Gregory’s still young-this is the age at which he needs the


    company of his loved ones. Why don’t you just give birth to a farrn animal if you intend to treat your son


    like one?”


    He knitted his brows to show that he was deep in thought.


    She continued to nag after seeing the look on his face. “Gregory alreadycked motherly love, to begin


    with. You should take out more time in your day to be with him, yet all you do is focus on your work.


    Does work matter more, or does your son matter more?”


    J, who was standing beside them, overheard their conversation. She nced at Nichs for a


    moment before speaking up-she wanted to get into Stefania’s good books.

    “That was one of the reasons I’m here as well. Nichs has beening back from work in the middle


    of the night for the past few days, so I was worried that his body wasn’t able to handle it,” J said.


    Stefania was even more annoyed at Nichs at this point. “Thepany is so much more stable now,


    and there aren’t any big projects going on. Why are you working so hard?” She started lecturing him.


    However, he didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he gave J an icy re as if he were trying to give


    her a warning.


    J bit her lower lip as she knew that what she had just said had made Nichs angry.
