Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 314

Chapter 314
As soon as Nicholas said this, he caused Tessa’s answer to stay lodged in her throat.
When she saw the man’s serious and persistent expression, her heart suddenly softened, and she pursed her lips before saying, “Give me some time to think about it.”
“Okay, I’ll give you time to think it over.” Nicholas noticed the softening of Tessa’s attitude, so he didn’t force the issue anymore. However, in order to prevent her from delaying it any further, he added, “The time is limited to tonight. You must give me an answer tomorrow morning”
“Tomorrow morning? That’s too soon.” Tessa frowned, feeling that it wasn’t enough
time.
He acted as if he didn’t notice her dissatisfaction. Then, he lowered his head and gave her a light kiss, and he said with a smile, “As there isn’t much time, you have to really think about it. So I won’t bother you anymore.

As she stared at the gradually closing door, she couldn’t help but grumble inwardly that this man was too overbearing, but… But for some strange reason, there was a hidden burst of joy inside her. That secret delight even made the gloom following her for days dissipate considerably.
After a simple wash, she lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling up ahead, somehow unable to sleep. What he said kept echoing in her mind.
“Tessa, the only person I want is you.”
Those words haunted her as she tossed and turned on the bed, feeling like her heart was pounding out of her chest. Finally, she couldn’t deny it any longer. She had to admit to herself that she actually liked him.
After thinking about it, she figured that it wasn’t such a strange thing to fall for him. He was such a wonderful man, so it was likely that no one could resist his charm.
Tessa still couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night, so she slowly opened the bedroom door. Initially, she wanted to check if Nicholas was asleep but found that the light in the living room was still on.
Inside the living room, he wasn’t sleeping. Instead, he was dressed in his pajamas and dealing with work-related matters as he sat on the couch. Under the soft glow of the light, the man’s sharp aura faded considerably, making him look harmless. However, he was still incomparably beautiful.
.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense as he suddenly raised his head. When their eyes met, she was startled and embarrassed, feeling as though she was a peeping tom caught red-handed. In an instant, a wave of heat crept up her cheeks. She didn’t even need to think to know that her cheeks must be red now.
“Uh, it’s a bit hot, so I came out to take a look.” She pretended to feel hot and fanned herself:
Nicholas raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
At this point, she remembered her purpose of coming out, so she went over to him. She resolutely stood in front of Nicholas and said, “I’ve decided.”
