Always Been Yours

Chapter 19

“Nicholas, don’t you dare! I’ll kill us both!” Seeing the man’s look that threatened to swallow her up. Tessa shouted in part embarrassment.

As the woman’s sobbing roar entered his ears, Nicholas was stunned. He saw the woman’s tiny face twisted in rage, and the look in his eyes slowly returned to normal.

Forcing his urges away, Nicholas let go of Tessa. Then, he hastily grabbed another towel and draped it over Tessa’s body, saying calmly, “I have acted too rashly tonight. Don’t take it to heart. You can wear this shirt for the time being.”

With that, he turned around and left without looking back. Tessa remained alone in the bathroom, her panic still lingering.

She gripped the towel around her, trembling as her legs threatened to give way. After a long while, she finally released a sigh and looked at the shirt on the floor. Why would he assault me? He came just to deliver this shirt, didn’t he?

She didn’t think Nicholas would actually be interested in her.

Nevertheless, he behaved as if he were a lecher!

The more Tessa thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she decided that she really couldn’t get along with Nicholas.
