Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1225

After Nicholas walked Remus out the door, he thought for a moment before he asked Edward to get the car. Although he had refused Remus’ suggestion to talk to Wanda, he still had to visit Horace out of respect.

After Nicholas entered the ward, he stood upright beside the bed, looking elegant. “How are you feeling, Mr. Muller?” Nicholas asked respectfully.

However, Horace acted coldly toward him and said, “Can’t you see the state I’m in?” He was implying that Nicholas was asking a stupid question.

Nicholas didn’t mind his attitude and said calmly, “I can see that you are quite high- spirited. You should be fine.”

Horace almost choked on his own saliva, and he got even more upset. Then, he seemed to have remembered something and huffed. “Why are you here? Are you here to make up for things?”

“Make up for things?” Nicholas was startled. However, he soon figured out what Horace meant and frowned. “You must have misunderstood me, Mr. Muller. I don’t think that I owe anything to you or Wanda.”

Horace’s face darkened. “Judging by your words, are you saying that everything that happened has nothing to do with you?” He stared at Nicholas sharply

Nicholas didn’t recoil from his stare and stared right back at him. “That’s right. To be honest, it was your family’s own wishful thinking from the start. Never have I once said that I wanted to marry Wanda or anything that might be misconstrued. The woman I love has always been my wife.”

As Nicholas talked about Tessa, his facial features softened, and adoration filled his eyes. When Horace saw the changes in his expression, he felt upset.

Right after Nicholas walked out of the ward, he bumped into Wanda who had bruises on her face.

When Wanda saw Nicholas walking toward her, she was stunned, but then she became furious. She blocked his path and questioned him, “What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?”

“I came here to visit Mr. Muller,” Nicholas replied coldly as he frowned.

Wanda felt fury rise in her as she looked at his expressionless face. Then, she smirked and said mockingly, “Grandpa doesn’t need your fake pity, Nicholas. It’s better if you stay home with your wife!”
