Always Been Yours Chapter 641
Janet pretended as if she didn’t realize how annoyed Nicholas was as she brought her lunch box to the dining table with a smile. “I know you don’t like sweet stuff, so I put less sugar in this.” She served the desserts as she spoke.
Tessa pressed her lips into a straight line on the other end of the call. This woman shows up in the house early in the morning, and speaks in a weird tone. What’s going on here? Tessa didn’t say anything as she wanted to see what the woman was trying to do.
Nicholas immediately noticed the look on Tessa’s face, and his expression darkened as well. He hadn’t expected Janet to be such an insensitive woman. However, when he recalled the favor that Cole had asked from him, he suppressed the annoyance he felt before speaking in a cold tone. “You shouldn’t strain yourself if you’re not feeling well. Gregory and I don’t like eating such things, anyway.”
Gregory agreed in a firm tone. “Yeah. I don’t like eating such things either.” Janet stood awkwardly in her spot as she listened to the both of them talking. She was utterly frustrated-she hadn’t expected Nicholas to embarrass her in such a manner. However, she wasn’t about to give up just yet. “What do you guys like to eat, then? I’ll prepare you guys’ favorite food next time,” she said with a forced smile.
Nicholas pressed his brows into a stern frown. “It’s fine. I can get my cook to prepare whatever it is that I want to eat.” Tessa couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard Nicholas’ heartless comment through the call. She pressed her hand over her mouth and stuck her tongue out when she saw Nicholas glancing at her. Shh, she mouthed while looking at Nicholas.
He simply gave her an exasperated stare without saying anything. Gregory, who was right beside them, understood the look on Tessa’s face. He covered his mouth with his hand to show that he wouldn’t say anything either. Although Tessa had quickly shushed herself after letting out a laugh earlier, Janet was sharp enough to notice the sound. She instinctively glanced in the direction of Nicholas’ phone on the table. She couldn’t see much because of the angle she was standing, but her gut feeling told her he was on a call.
