Chapter 643 Nicholas’ face turned cold and displeased once he heard what Janet said as he felt like lanet 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 Janet’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!
“Nicholas, 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 the last 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 glare.
When Janet met the man’s dark and icy glare, 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, Nicholas. But the soup…” She gazed at him hopefully, praying that he would

Nicholas 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 Nicholas was about to chase Janet out, Stefania pushed the door open and walked into the
room. The moment Stefania entered the room, she saw Janet standing by the office desk. A look of
confusion flashed across her face when she saw the flask on the table. “Who’s this, Nicholas?”
“You must be Nicholas’ mother! Hello. I’m Janet, Nicholas’ ex-partner. I’m staying around here to recover
from my injuries.” Janet knew who Stefania was, so she introduced herself before Nicholas introduced
her. Janet pressed her lips into a pleasant smile. “Since Nicholas has been caring for me for so long, I
figured I would make some soup for him,” she commented.
Stefania was pleased to hear Janet’s words-it showed Stefania that Janet was an appreciative and
grateful woman. “What a kind girl. Please tell Nicholas if there’s anything that you need,” Stefania uttered
with a loving smile.
After that, she turned to give Nicholas a reminder. “You should take good care of Janet 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,” Nicholas replied flatly.
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?” Nicholas was puzzled by his mother’s accusations.
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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knitted his brows to show that he was deep in thought.
She continued to nag after seeing the look on his face. “Gregory already lacked 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?”
Janet, who was standing beside them, overheard their conversation. She glanced at Nicholas 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. Nicholas has been coming 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,” Janet said.
Stefania was even more annoyed at Nicholas at this point. “The company 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 Janet an icy glare as if he were trying to give
her a warning.
Janet bit her lower lip as she knew that what she had just said had made Nicholas angry.
