Chapter 681 That Person Is J, Isn’t It?


    Once Tessa finished saying that, she ced the tray in her hand on the coffee table carefully.


    Meanwhile, Cole had been quietly observing the interaction between the two from when Tessa walked in.


    At this juncture, he practically didn’t need to guess as he could see through the rtionship between the two, especially when the unconcealed tenderness in Nichs’ eyes was crystal clear.


    And thus, he carefully observed Tessa.


    This girl looks young and petite. Yet, she has the unique gentility of a girling from Jedburgh. Wearing a simple long-sleeved dress, she exudes an indescribableforting aura all over her.


    He could not help but feel a little surprised when he observed until this point. Well, I never expected Nichs to actually fancy this type of girl.


    “Nichs, aren’t you going to introduce her?” Cole coughed lightly and looked at Nichs with a smile.


    Nichs stepped forward and hugged Tessa upon hearing that remark. Then, he introduced her with an inexpressible gentleness. “This is my fiancée, Tessa Reinhart.”


    He paused momentarily, then continued to introduce Cole to Tessa. “This is the superior I mentioned to you before. You can call him Mr. Spurse.”


    Tessa greeted with a gracious smile. “Mr. Spurse.”


    Cole nodded in greeting as well. “Hello.”


    The three exchanged simple pleasantries for a while. Later, Tessa excused herself as she could sense that the two had something important to discuss.


    After Nichs saw Tessa off, he sat back down on the sofa.


    He went straight to the point and directly discussed the matter regarding the disclosure of Cole’s whereaboutsst time after taking a sip of tea.


    “Have you found any information about the matter rting to the disclosure of your whereabouts this time?”


    When Cole heard that, his facial expression froze slightly. Shortly after, he regained hisposure. “I handed the investigation of this matter over to my subordinates, so I am still unsure about the specific situation.”


    Nichs stared straight at Cole upon hearing that.


    Even though Cole masked his expression well just now, he still captured something unusual, especially how he froze before speaking.


    At that moment, he thought of his previous guess and cast him a meaningful look. “Mr. Spurse, do you not want to say it? Or are you trying to cover for her?”


    Since Cole was already feeling a little guilty in the first ce, his eyes flickered even more now that he had heard these words.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Without a doubt, Nichs caught everything and was even more confident in his guess. “That person is J, isn’t it?”


    Although his words sounded like an inquiry, the expression on his face showed clear affirmation.


    “……”


    Cole was rendered speechless by his question.


    The moment Nichs saw this, he instantly knew that he was right.


    So, he frowned as he said in a disapproving manner, “Do you think it’s the right thing to do to cover for her like this?”


    “I really can’t hide anything from you.” Cole sighed. At this moment, he knew it was pointless for him to hide the truth anymore, so he admitted it frankly. “J did this because of you.”


    “Go ahead and keep spoiling her. She has already vited the principle that makes a human being by acting unscrupulously.”


    Nichs showed apparent disdain for her actions and also expressed his stance. “After the mission isplete, you can take her away. I have helped you take care of her long enough.”


    Cole hesitated for a while because he knew J had gone too far this time.


    However, he felt that he could justify J’s action since she had a reason behind it.


    “Nichs, I think you can see through J’s thoughts. Be it when you two wererades in arms in the past or based on the family background, I have always felt that you two are good together. But I never expected you to fall in love with someone else suddenly.”


    When Nichs heard those words, he frowned and said bitingly, “There’s nothing to say about the matter. Not to mention that I already have someone I love, and even if I don’t, I won’t develop feelings for her.”


    Cole didn’t know what to say to that for a moment.


    Even so, Nichs was not bothered by his silence and continued. “Furthermore, regarding the incident this time, I know you can ignore J scheming against you because she is your apprentice. But I can’t.”


    Cole showed a resigned look on his face. At the same time, he dismissed his inner thought of trying to persuade Nichs.


    From his point of view, he knew that there was no going back on this matter.


    As he thought about it, he stood up and said solemnly, “I’ll return and report to the higher-ups in a few days. By then, I’ll take J with me.”


    Nichs nodded as he stood up to see Cole off at the door.


    When Cole saw this, he seemed to have thought of something and sighed, “Let’s have a meal together before I leave. Otherwise, we won’t know when we will meet next time.”
