Chapter 703 In the Rain


    Tessa also didn’t want to waste time on Yvette. Hence, she left right after warning thetter. “Don’ttch yourself onto my brother ever again, or I won’t go easy on you.”


    As Yvette watched Tessa leave, she was so mad that she almost screamed. At this moment, she couldn’t deny it anymore: she had really been blind!


    After going home, Tessa forgot all about Yvette, apanying Gregory in his violin practice in the music room. The two had a happy time together.


    In the evening, Nichs returned. When he saw Tessa sitting alone in the living room, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Greg?”


    “He’s upstairs doing the homework his tutor assigned him,” Tessa reported honestly. Then, she got up and went over to Nichs, helpfully taking his briefcase from him.


    Nichs took her hand and led her upstairs as if it were the most natural thing in the world. As he walked, he asked, “You’ve been home all day?”


    “Not really. I delivered Timothy’s lunch at noon.”


    When Tessa mentioned this, she remembered Yvette and her father. She couldn’t help but tell Nichs about it.


    “I keep feeling that Yvette isn’t someone to give up so easily. I’m a little worried that she will bother my brother again in the future.”


    When Nichs saw the worry on thedy’s face, he put an arm around her shoulders tofort her. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on them when you’re away. If they don’t know their ce, I’ll take action.”


    Hearing that, Tessa felt touched, knowing Nichs was only concerned about her brother because of her.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    “I’m d to have met you.”


    She couldn’t help but embrace Nichs. Nichs looked at the sweetly smilingdy in his arms, and he couldn’t hold back in teasing her. “That’s all?”


    Tessa gazed at the man’s mischievous expression, and she knew what he was thinking.


    “What about this?”


    As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and nted a kiss on Nichs’ pink lips.


    It was a soft touch thatsted for only a fleeting moment, but Nichs could hardly be satisfied by a shallow kiss like this. He wrapped his arms tightly around Tessa’s waist, then lowered his head and deepened the kiss.


    For the next two days, it was as Tessa predicted; Yvette didn’t want to give up on Timothy just yet, for she kept watch at the entrance of thepany.


    Her father said that she was beautiful, and men would feel pity for someone with her beauty. So, if she persevered, it might soften Timothy’s heart.


    That day, she was still persistently waiting as usual on the first floor of Timothy’spany. However, she had waited for so long that it began to rain, yet Timothy was nowhere in sight.


    In order to express her sincerity, she decided to keep waiting in the rain, hoping that her pitiful look would soften Timothy’s heart. Despite standing in the rain for a long time, Timothy still didn’t appear.


    Meanwhile, news of her was already spreading throughout thepany like wildfire.


    “This woman is really cunning. Does she think Mr. Reinhart will forgive her just like that?”


    “Hey, she does look kind of pitiful. Maybe Mr. Reinhart will really soften down.”


    “He will never do that. Do you know what this woman did? She insulted his sister.”


    “There’s no hope for her then. Everyone in ourpany knows that the most important person to Mr. Reinhart is his sister.”


    The crowd whispered among each other.


    Henry also overheard some conversations between his subordinates. Later in the day, when he went to discuss some business matters with Timothy, he mentioned it in passing.


    “Timothy, that woman Yvette is seemingly suffering as she waits for you downstairs. Don’t let her get her hands on you after work, or she’d hold it against you.”


    “I know. Let’s not talk about her. How’s the partnership with New Ageing along?”


    Timothy didn’t want to waste time on unrted people, so he changed the subject. Thus, the two continued talking about work.


    After work in the evening, Henry carried an umbre as he walked out of thepany. When he saw that Yvette was still standing outside, he frowned deeply.


    This woman is as stubborn as a mule.


    He originally wanted to pretend he hadn’t seen anything and leave right away. Unexpectedly, Yvette rushed up to him and blocked his way.
