A few moments passed before she calmed down, then she said in a light but bitter voice, “Do you knowhow much effort it took me to leave the country? To make up my mind to get away from everything backhome?!”

Nicholas frowned, not understanding what this had to do with him staying.

Tessa understood the confusion on his face, and she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, her eyes turningred-rimmed.

“Do you understand the feeling of someone who was forced to leave their family behind and live in aforeign country far from their familiar homeland? Not only do I have to familiarize myself with a newenvironment all over again, but I also have to replace a new job.”

As Tessa spoke, her voice became choked. Tears flowed from her eyes and streamed down her cheeksbefore landing on the back of her hand.

When Nicholas saw this, his heart felt as though those tears pierced it.

“You—” Initially, he wanted to comfort her, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking

She was having an emotional breakdown as she shouted with distress, “Obviously, I’ve already come allthe way here to avoid you, so why do you still refuse to let me go? Do you know how much troubleyou’ve caused me?!”

Unsurprisingly, the look on Nicholas’ face turned nasty. All of a sudden, he got up, looking calm as heapproached Tessa. Then, he gritted his teeth and asked, “In your eyes, I’m just trouble? Is that what youthink of me?”

As Tessa stared into Nicholas’ cold eyes, her heart shuddered, and her hand on the dining table wastightly clenched into a fist

“Yes, that’s what I think. Because of you, because I was close to you, I lost my job. I have nothing, and Ican’t even stay in the country. What else do you want from me?!”

She vented all the frustration she had suffered all this while as her emotions had finally shattered that jarshe had kept them locked in. Looking at him with desperation, she begged, “This is me begging you.Please leave me alone. Let’s not contact each other in the future.”

Nicholas was livid, but Tessa pretended not to notice as she turned and left.

“I hope I won’t see you when I return tonight.”

He stood still, staring at the closed door emotionlessly. After a while, he narrowed his eyes. Based onwhat Tessa had just said, it was clear that she was forced to leave the country. But who forced her to doso?

Almost instantly, Nicholas thought of Remus. After all, this domineering and unreasonable behavior wasvery much in line with his attitude. But… Why did Remus go to such lengths just to force him to getmarried?

All of a sudden, he figured out something. It seemed that Remus knew about Tessa’s identity, which waswhy he tried so hard to force her to leave.

When Nicholas came to an understanding, the look in his eyes was gloomy and terrifying. He hated itwhen others made decisions for him without his permission, even if that person was his most respectedelder!

He suddenly scoffed in anger as he thought of Tessa crying in front of him just now. “You left justbecause someone asked you to? Since when did you become so obedient?”

Tessa, who had left the apartment, was in a complete mess. She wandered aimlessly along the road, notknowing where she should go.

Subconsciously, she had walked to the downtown area and decided to just roam around the area. Shejust hoped that during this period of time, Nicholas would leave. From then on, they would be strangers,and he wouldn’t be a disturbance in her life.

But…

When she thought about cutting off all relations with Nicholas and Gregory, Tessa felt suffocated andmiserable, as if something was crushing her heart. She shook her head as if trying to get rid of thediscomfort in her heart. “Don’t think about it. We’re not from the same world, so it’s good for us to beseparated.”

After a while, Tessa’s chaotic emotions finally calmed down, and it was then that she received a call fromScott.

“Miss Reinhart, are you up yet?”

“I woke up a long time ago. Is something the matter, Mr. Brooks?”

“Do you have any plans for today? Would you like to go to the most famous conservatory in Vienna withme?”
