Chapter 311
“But, since you’re here, I think you should really get the full experience of my alma mater. Remember,
this is a happy experience, not a sad one.”
Tessa was taken aback for a moment then she understood that Scott was just trying to cheer her up. At
that moment, she was touched and warmed by his kindness.
Afterward, the two of them took a detailed tour of the university. Scott was a conscientious tour guide, as
he brought her to all the interesting spots in the school. He didn’t even miss out on the school’s grove, at
which they interrupted many couples from having a good time.
After leaving the school, he continued to bring her around to visit many famous sights in Vienna. Perhaps
it was because of his remarks at the beginning of their adventure; it gave her the chance to let down her
hair and actually have fun as she thoroughly enjoyed her day. She felt so great that the smile on her face
never disappeared
In the evening, Scott brought Tessa to a local bar with a particularly artistic atmosphere for a drink.
Unlike the noisy environment at the other bars, this place was relatively quiet. It was simply the best

guest tables.
“I never knew a bar could have such an atmosphere.” Tessa curiously surveyed her surroundings, and
her gaze slowly filled with love for this bar.
Scott smiled and said, “If you like it, you could visit more often in the future.”
Tessa nodded and continued drinking with Scott.
As time flew by, it was late at night before they knew it. Scott glanced at the tipsy girl opposite him, and
his gaze was particularly gentle. “It’s late. Let me take you back.”
“Is it late?” Tessa dazedly checked her phone for the time. “It’s almost midnight. We should really get
going.”
She staggered as she stood up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her. After they settled the bill,
the two of them walked out of the bar.
“We’re here. Please have a safe trip back. Thank you for today. I truly appreciate it. I’ll treat you to a drink
some other day.”
As they arrived at the residence’s entrance, Tessa stumbled out of the car. The fun she had today,
coupled with the alcohol in her system, made her feel like she was floating on cloud nine.
Scott was uneasy as he watched Tessa, who was standing outside the car window, swaying left and right
due to the alcohol in her system. So, he unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and walked over to
her. “Which floor are you on? I’ll escort you home.”
“No, no, it’s fine. I can go back on my own. You should hurry back.” Tessa broke away from Scott and
stood firmly to the side, looking much soberer.
Upon noticing that her eyes didn’t look unfocused or too wasted, he didn’t force the matter. Tessa
watched as the car gradually disappeared down the road, then she turned and was about to walk back to
her unit.
She looked around her room and found that it was dark, and it was evident that no one was in it.
Click! The originally dark living room lit up when she turned on the lights.
Then, she closed the door and walked into the living room, only to find that Nicholas had cleared up the
dining table. She didn’t see his clothes on the sofa either. She pursed her lips and sat on the sofa as she

There was silence all around, the only sound being the occasional noise of car engines from the cars
passing by outside the window.
After a certain period of time, Tessa recovered from her stupor. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw
the empty and silent room. But she didn’t manage to savor that relief until a sharp pain stabbed through
her heart.
She couldn’t help but reach up to place her hand on her heart, feeling discomfort in that area, as if
something was missing, leaving it empty.
“Isn’t this good? There’s nothing to be sad about,” Tessa comforted herself.
After a while, perhaps her self-hypnosis had an effect, as she didn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore. So,
she decided to wash up in her room. However, she hadn’t even taken two steps before a tall, dark figure
stepped out from the balcony, to her surprise.
Nicholas came from behind and trapped Tessa up against the wall. Then, a voice
containing slight anger sounded in Tessa’s ears. “That man must be the real reason you’re driving me
away, am I right?!”
It turned out that Nicholas, who had been standing on the balcony, saw Scott sending Tessa back. He
grew irritated as he thought she might have been with that man the entire day, so his remarks were
barbed.
