Chapter 675 A Cozy Dinner
“That won’t be necessary. I’m fine.” Nicholas rejected Janet decisively. His gazes were icy cold. “Please get out of the way if there’s nothing else.”
When Janet saw this, she instinctively bit her lower lip as she felt the unpleasant churning within her chest. Then, she said aggrievedly, “Nicholas, are you still blaming me for what happened before? I stopped you at that time because I was worried about you. Your condition at that time simply wasn’t suitable for long-distance travel.”
Nicholas frowned, and traces of annoyance gradually appeared under his eyes.
Similarly, Gregory pouted in dislike.
Why does this bad lady keep blocking our way? Can’t she see that Daddy is getting more and more annoyed? Plus, I’m tired and hungry!
“Miss Brenner, Daddy and I are currently tired and hungry. Yet, you keep blocking us and not letting us pass. Are you sure you really care about us?” He innocently looked at Janet.
However, Janet nearly couldn’t maintain the expression on her face when she heard Gregory butting in, and a trace of anger surged within her.
As expected from an illegitimate child, this kid has no manners at all. Why does he, a child, intervene when adults are talking? I’ll definitely drill etiquette lessons into this brat the moment I marry into the Sawyer Family.
Even so, Janet managed to wrestle her face into a warm, kindly look.
“Greg, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I just want to clear up the misunderstanding with your Daddy,” she said. Then, she looked toward Nicholas as she attempted to explain again. “Nicholas, don’t be angry, alright? I-I was really worried about you at that time, that’s all.”
Nicholas remained indifferent as he listened to her explanation. Finally, he replied dispassionately, “You’re overthinking matters. Something as trivial as that isn’t worth my anger.”
However, Janet didn’t believe his words at all.
“You won’t be so cold to me now if you aren’t angry.” She gazed at Nicholas relentlessly.
At this point, Nicholas’ patience had been utterly worn out. It was as if the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees; the aura around him turned icy cold.
“This has always been my attitude toward others. You can just stay away if you can’t accept it. I’m very tired and just want to go back to rest.” After he finished saying that, he ignored Janet, carried Gregory as he walked past her, and left.
Janet was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, she hurriedly chased after them and said with a placating smile, “Nicholas, that’s not what I meant. How about this? I’ll send you guys home.”
No, thank you.” Once again, Nicholas rejected her. Furthermore, he even quickened his pace and left hurriedly.
I would never tolerate Janet’s pestering if it weren’t for my respect for Mr. Spurse.
Meanwhile, Tessa was busy cooking in Dynasty Gardens. She made salmon spinach quiche and some other dishes. Furthermore, she even simmered a pot of medicinal broth.
As soon as she was done, she saw Nicholas and Gregory return. In an instant, a bright smile surfaced on her face. “You guys are back! Hurry up and wash your hands. Then come over here to eat.”
“Okay.” Nicholas nodded and took Gregory to wash his hands.
After Gregory returned from washing his hands, he climbed up the dining chair without the help of a servant.
As his eyes laid on the scrumptious dinner on the table, he asked happily, “Miss Tessa, did you make all these?”
“Yeah, I made them all. You need to eat more to grow big and strong.” Tessa smiled and looked at Gregory.
At this moment, Nicholas also entered the dining room after washing his hands.
When she saw him, she immediately stepped forward and pulled out a chair for him by the dining table.
He couldn’t help but feel amused upon seeing her actions. He felt that Tessa regarded him as a fragile doll after his injury. Nonetheless, his heart warmed at her actions.
And just like that, the three began to enjoy their cozy dinner like a true family.
During the meal, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Later, Tessa ordered Nicholas to return to his room to rest after they finished their meal.
With the long journey and his trip to the hospital again, Nicholas was indeed tired. Thus, he didn’t fight against her orders.
When he was back in his room, she helped him undress as his shoulder was injured. Then, she prepared a warm water bath and helped him clean his body.
As Nicholas looked at the girl who behaved like a busy bee for him, the tenderness in his eyes could almost melt others completely. Moreover, he felt all the happier as he enjoyed her care for him.
After the clean-up, Tessa instructed him to rest well. Meanwhile, she intended to leave the room.
Unexpectedly, Nicholas grabbed her wrist before she could turn around. “Aren’t you going to sleep with me?”
“I promised Greg that I’ll accompany him tonight. Okay, hurry up and sleep,” she gently coaxed him.
