Chapter 653 Knock Knock
“What’s he doing here?” Nicholas still allowed his men to bring Kaiden in despite sounding rather
disdainful.
Soon enough, Kaiden was brought into the room and Nicholas threw him an icy glare. “Why are you
here? Aren’t you supposed to take care of Janet?” Nicholas asked.
“Janet was worried, and wanted me to come here to help you with anything you might need.” Kaiden
hung his head low to speak in a respectful tone. However, underlying the dark pupils was a spark of
evil that surfaced as he thought about their plan.
At that point, Nicholas hadn’t suspected anything. He shifted his focus to think about the undercover in
their group, and he figured that it’d be better for Kaiden to do the research. Since Kaiden was one of
the people on the team, others might not be as suspicious of his sudden change in actions.
“I happen to have something I need you to do,” Nicholas said.
“Anything at all, President Sawyer.” Kaiden looked extremely prepared to follow whatever orders.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas nodded and told Kaiden about the situation. “I suspect there must be a mole in the group who
revealed Cole’s whereabouts. I want you to investigate who it was who exposed Cole’s location.”
Kaiden felt his heart pounding when he heard the man’s words. He hadn’t expected Nicholas to make
the correct guess so soon, and he was also glad that he had shown up in time. If Nicholas had ordered
someone else to do this, they might have exposed Janet for what she did.
“I got it,” Kaiden agreed to the instructions. He placed all his emotions aside as he nodded and
excused himself.
Nicholas told his other men to leave as well.
The air around him was hushed once they left. He slumped into the couch as tiredness washed over
his figure. He massaged his temples for a while and fell asleep before realizing it.
Sometime later, he was awakened by the sound of sirens outside. His eyes shot open to find that the
skies were bright out. He hastily went to the shower and washed up. Once he was awake, he took his
phone and went to the hall to call Tessa. He had to tell her he hadn’t managed to make the trip to
Yvetlava, anyway.
On the other end, Tessa had just ended practice and returned to her hotel. She was puzzled when she
saw Nicholas. “Why aren’t you on the plane yet? Did something happen?”
Her question made sense. Nicholas was a man of his word—he would never go against his promises
unless something important occurred. He didn’t explain too much about his situation. “Some
emergency came up, but I told Gregory to head first. I’ll definitely arrive before your performance
starts,” he said.
Tessa was slightly disappointed that she couldn’t see Nicholas the next day, but she didn’t say much
about it. “Hurry up and get things settled, then. Stay safe. I’ll wait for you,” she uttered gently.
“I’ll be safe.” A faint smile hung from Nicholas’ face as he asked her about her practice. She picked a
few interesting stories to tell him, and they chatted for a while more after that before Nicholas told
Tessa to go to bed.
After they ended the call, Tessa lay in bed for a time as she couldn’t fall asleep. For some reason, she
had a bad feeling about the whole thing regarding Nicholas. Is something terrible about to happen?
She knitted her brows and thought about it for a long while, but she couldn’t pinpoint anything. The best
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe could do was hope that she was just overthinking.
Meanwhile, after more than 10 hours on the flight, Gregory finally arrived at Yvetlava, where it was the
middle of the night. Edward led the young boy out of the airport, walking alongside Timothy. This was
Tessa’s first official performance as the lead violinist, and he had to be there for such a significant
moment.
Three of them hurried over to the hotel where Tessa was staying. Gregory had just dumped his luggage
in the room when he pestered the adults to let him meet Tessa. “Let’s visit Miss Tessa, Uncle Tim! I
really miss her.”
It had been a while since Timothy saw his sister, and he also missed her. So, both of them hurried off,
leaving Edward behind as he watched the two figures rushing ahead without him. Edward had wanted
to comment on how Tessa might be sleeping, but he figured that Tessa wouldn’t mind being disturbed.
Meanwhile, Tessa was fast asleep in dreamland when she heard a knocking on the door. She was
startled at first but still dazedly tried to get out of bed.
