Chapter 641 Janet pretended as if she didn’t realize how annoyed Nicholas 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.
Nicholas immediately noticed the look on Tessa’s face, and his expression darkened as well. He hadn’t
expected Janet 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.” Janet stood awkwardly in her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtspot as she listened to the both of them talking. She was utterly frustrated-she hadn’t expected Nicholas
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.
Nicholas 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 into laughter when she heard Nicholas’ heartless comment
through the call. She pressed her hand over her mouth and stuck her tongue out when she saw Nicholas
glancing at her. Shh, she mouthed while looking at Nicholas.
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 a laugh earlier, Janet was
sharp enough to notice the sound. She instinctively glanced in the direction of Nicholas’ 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 Nicholas’ 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 the laugh that I heard earlier
was the sound of that b*tch laughing at me?! She was fuming as she felt like Tessa had just shamed her.
Who is she to laugh at me?! Janet clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but she still kept the same
smile on her face. “Nicholas…”
“Is anything else the matter?” Nicholas interrupted Janet in an icy tone. It was evident that he wanted to
chase her off. Janet found it hard to keep the smile on her face at this point. She took a deep breath.
Since she knew Nicholas didn’t want her to stay, she decided she wouldn’t force her way into his place
anymore.
Furthermore, she didn’t mind getting rejected by Nicholas, but she couldn’t bear the idea of Tessa, her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlove 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.” Janet turned
and left after that.
The moment she turned around, a sour expression replaced 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.
Janet stormed out of the dining hall only to hear a sweet-sounding voice come from inside. “That’s nice.
You have a girl sending desserts to you early in the morning.” Tessa was teasing Nicholas with a smile
on her face, but the smile didn’t seem to reach her eyes.
Nicholas 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.
