Chapter 191
Hayley’s words got to Tobias, and he chuckled before saying, You really have a way with words. I don’t even feel angry anymore.” Then, he ordered, “Nicholas, I want you to send her back home.”
Listening to his orders, Nicholas furrowed his brows, showing his reluctance.
However, Hayley thanked him first. “Thank you, President Sawyer.”
As for Hayley, she was interested in Nicholas some years ago, but outside the friendship between Tobias and Maxwell, the two families didn’t have much connection.
Also, there were rumors that Nicholas didn’t plan to get married, so she decided to let it go.
When Tobias came to her, she immediately understood his intention. Seeing that he was quite satisfied with her today, she agreed to join them for dinner without hesitation.
Even though Nicholas had a child, Hayley didn’t see it as a bad thing since she didn’t want to give birth anyway, so it wasn’t out of the question for her to treat Gregory as one of her own.
Since she had agreed to accept a ride and it was only a short distance, Nicholas had nothing else to say. “Let’s go.”
“I heard that you’ve received several huge projects recently. You must be very busy.” After getting into the car, Hayley saw that Nicholas wasn’t talking to her, so she found a subject to talk about.
“Yes,” he replied curtly.
And so, she changed the subject. “What about Greg? The last time I saw him was at his birthday party. How has he been lately?”
Again, he replied, “Alright.”
Throughout the journey, Nicholas was basically silent as he only replied to Hayley’s questions with simple words, but she didn’t mind at all and kept on changing the subject with a faint smile on her face.
It was an amazing feeling.
Not only did his cold words not make her retreat, but it aroused her desire to have him for herself.
Putting aside his words of refusal, even his perfunctory answers felt as though they were attracting her while she fell into a deep addiction.
Someday, I’ll be the woman standing beside him. Only I am worthy of standing next to him.
At that thought, Hayley suddenly giggled. “Master Nicholas, I’m not going to give up because of what you said. In my mind, there is no such thing as giving up. There is nothing in this world I want that I can’t get.”
