Chapter 691 Different World
Cole smiled indifferently.
On the side, Janet showed a hint of disdain in her eyes.
You came here uninvited, yet you’re still pretending like there’s something important to say. If you’re so honorable, why did you show up?
Although that was what she was thinking, she still had a smile, despite being insincere.
Soon, the waiter brought new bowls and chopsticks for Tessa, and the dishes on the table were served one after the other.
The few people drank and chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
“Nicholas, try this. The meat is delicious and tender. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Janet picked up a piece of meat for Nicholas with her chopsticks to showcase how well she knew him.
When Tessa saw this, she raised her brows as she became intrigued by this woman.
Janet offered Tessa’s fiancé some food in front of Tessa’s face. What was Janet thinking?
On the other hand, Cole did not expect Janet to do such a thing as well, and disapproval could be seen in his eyes.
When he saw the displeasure on Nicholas’ face, he couldn’t help but let out a light cough and reminded, “Janet, you should just take care of yourself. Nicholas has his fiancée to take care of him.”
Janet’s face immediately darkened as she looked at Nicholas unwillingly.
However, he didn’t even cast her a glance, let alone take the food that she gave.
“Have you eaten the prawns?”
He turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell gently on Tessa.
She, on the other hand, nodded lightly.
Just like that, he started peeling the prawns for her while chatting with Cole.
Throughout this period, Tessa had also behaved in a poised manner and had been very polite to Cole.
Cole suddenly smiled and said, “After talking for so long, I still don’t know what Miss Reinhart does.”
“I’m a violinist, and I’m working as the principal violinist at Hathway Philharmonic in Vienna,” she answered honestly.
As soon as Janet heard this, she smiled softly and questioned, “This means that you and Nicholas are from two different worlds. Are there even any common topics for you two to talk about?”
“This shouldn’t be of your concern. As for whether Nicholas and I are from the same world or not, it doesn’t bother us. I don’t think having topics in common to talk about is important when we have each others’ hearts.”
By this point, Tessa did not like the way that Janet was talking, so she retaliated passive-aggressively.
Janet was immediately annoyed and answered, “But the two of you are separated, after all. Aren’t you afraid that Nicholas would be dissatisfied?”
“I’m not scared,” Tessa replied decisively before looking at Nicholas affectionately. Then, she added warmly, “Nicholas wouldn’t care about this. On the contrary, he is very supportive of me in pursuing my dream and also very tolerant of me.”
As Janet watched the couple looking at each other lovingly, she burned with jealousy.
Her grip around her chopsticks tightened, making her knuckles turn white as she gritted her teeth. “Although he doesn’t care, aren’t you being a little selfish? Have you ever thought about Nicholas? Have you ever thought about your child?”
Tessa frowned when she heard this. She disliked Janet’s accusatory tone and felt that this woman had overstepped.
“All these are things between Nicholas and me. So, I don’t understand Miss Brener’s role for questioning me like this.”
Tessa looked at Janet coldly.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became a little tense.
On the other hand, Janet was embarrassed after being questioned like that and didn’t know how to answer.
Finally, she cast a helpless look at Nicholas.
Unfortunately, Nicholas ignored her entirely and handed Tessa a drink. “Have some water. You must be thirsty after so much talking.”
She nodded with a smile and took the drink from his hand.
Janet watched the interaction between the two and fuming that she wanted to vomit blood.
It was evident that Nicholas agreed with what Tessa said.
So, Cole hurriedly stepped in and became the peacemaker when he sensed the tense atmosphere. He changed the topic and exclaimed with a smile, “Tessa, once you leave, it should be hard for us to meet again in the future.”
Tessa nodded in agreement and urged him to have a toast with her.
As for Janet, Tessa completely ignored her presence.
