Chapter 194

A complex expression clouded Nicolas's eyes, and he exhaled heavily. He couldn't understand why Thea was so stubborn.

Is it because she doesn't trust me? Or perhaps because she doesn't love me and wants to avoid getting too deeply involved?" he wondered.

"What's your plan then? How do you intend to wrap this up?" Nicolas asked.

Noticing the discontent in his tone, Thea's body trembled slightly as she stared at her feet, struggling to explain, though she was enthused, "I realize I acted impulsively and alinest caused trouble for you, Mr. Hendrix. "But Joyce is my friend, and I couldn't just ignore her." Nicolas's expression darkened further.

From the driver's seat, Darwin quickly interjected, "Mrs. Hendrix, Mr. Hendrix didn't mean it that way. He was just worried about you, which is why he rushed back."

Thea politely nodded. "I understand, but from now on, I'll make sure to sort out solutions beforehand, I won't hold you back again, Mr. Hendrix."

She sensed that Nicolas was frustrated because he couldn't stay in Silvercreek with Stephanie to clean up after her. She was not someone who lacked awareness. But for some reason, Nicolas seemed even more displeased.

Darwin was left speechless, unsure of what to say as an outsider

However, before Thea could step out, Nicolas grasped her wrist firmly, Losing her balance, she stumbled into his solid chest.

The familiar scent enveloped her, leaving Thea somewhat flustered. She looked up, her eyes meeting his cold yet stunningly handsome face, speaking cautiously, Tm sorry, Mr. Hendrix, about your injury..."

Little did Thea know that in his eyes, she appeared endearing.

"It's nothing" Nicolas's expression was a mix of emotions, and he sighed, seemingly resigned. "Thea, what am I going to do with you?"
