Chapter 814 Nicholas’ Comfort
Mona persuaded repeatedly.
Tessa eventually fell asleep in her arms, not realizing it was because of Mona’s calming effect.
It was bright outside at this time. A tall figure then appeared in the villa.
“You have arrived, Master Nicholas.” The butler was taken aback when Nicholas appeared unexpectedly in the living room.
“Where is Miss Tessa?” Nicholas inquired after nodding slightly and removing his jacket.
“She’s still sleeping upstairs.”
As soon as the voice ceased, the man began walking upstairs.
At this precise moment, Mona walked out of the room quietly. When she turned around, she was surprised to see the handsome man approaching.
“Master Nicholas, you’ve returned.”
He was taken aback when he saw Mona. After nodding, his gaze was drawn to the door behind him and he inquired, “How is Tessa?”
“She had nightmares last night and finally fell asleep.” She felt relieved letting Nicholas know about Tessa’s situation.
Tessa should be fine now that Nicholas is here.
He felt bad for his wife after hearing Mona’s explanation. “I appreciate you staying with Tessa last night,” he told Mona.
“You don’t need to thank me. Tessa is my best friend.” She casually waved her hand.
“You can head home and rest. I’ll take care of her,” he said with a nod.
“Okay. I’ll be back later.” Mona walked away after saying this.
Subsequently, Nicholas immediately requested a driver to send her home before entering the bedroom.
Tessa was sleeping uncomfortably on the bed in the room; her delicate brows on her haggard face furrowed tightly; her thick black eyelashes were wet with tears.
He stood there, his heart slightly pounding. He then sat on the edge of the bed and gently brushed her hair away from her face. Unexpectedly, she was startled awake by his actions.
Tessa looked at Nicholas, who had suddenly appeared before her, and was taken aback. She could not help but dive into his embrace with teary eyes.
“Nicholas…”
He wrapped his arms around Tessa and gently cooed, “It’s okay, I’m here now.”
As she heard his soothing voice, she could not stop sobbing in his arms.
“I didn’t want to put Kathleen under any duress. All I meant was to teach her a lesson, but I didn’t anticipate her to take it so extreme that she had to end her own life.” She raised her head and expressed her sadness.
Nicholas was concerned and heartbroken when he saw his wife crying buckets.
“No, no, no… This has nothing to do with you. Don’t you dare take the blame upon yourself.”
While persuading Tessa, he held her cheeks with both hands and kissed the tears away from her face; his movements were extremely gentle.
At last, her mood improved slightly.
Nicholas exhaled a sigh of relief as he looked at her. He could not help but feel a sting in his heart when he saw Tessa’s haggard and pale face.
Obviously, she was so upset that she could not sleep well for the rest of the night.
At the thought of that, he took her back into his arms and softly comforted her, “Now, focus on me; focus on yourself. Nothing is more important than your well-being right now.”
Tessa nodded upon hearing this.
“I’ll request that the butler bring you some breakfast. You must eat and have a good rest. Don’t worry about the issue with Kathleen and Miss Hathaway. I’ll speak with her later,” Nicholas uttered softly as he looked at her.
“It’s so wonderful to have you here by my side.” She hugged him tightly while apologizing, “I’m sorry that I made you worried.”
Nicholas affectionately tapped the tip of her nose and said, “Why are you apologizing, silly girl? The most important thing you can do right now is to look after your body. Come eat with me if you don’t have much of an appetite. I was in a hurry to get to the airport, so I didn’t have much time to eat or rest on the way here.”
To that, Tessa became upset when she heard this.
