Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957 Surprise

Wanda’s lips curled into a barely-there smirk at those words. It seemed like her efforts had paid off, and she had succeeded in staying by Nicholas’ side.

She thought that he would agree to her proposal considering the current circumstances. However, little did she know that he was far from agreeable to her suggestion.

”Can’t you even handle a woman? What use do I have for you?” Nicholas shot daggers at Edward as he walked toward Wanda.

Edward awkwardly scratched his head as he pulled a face but could not stop himself from wondering what Nicholas would do. He glanced at the two curiously as he pondered, Does he have a trick up his sleeve to stop that woman?

On the other side, Wanda, who was pretending to be drunk, heard Nicholas’ words, and dread rose in her heart.

Nevertheless, her nerves were quickly replaced by anticipation as she could feel the man she loved coming closer.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should do something ‘untoward’ and blame it on the alcohol later, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and collapsed.

Then, Nicholas retracted his hand in satisfaction and ordered coldly, ”Now you have no excuse for being unable to get her out of my sight.”

Edward gawked at Nicholas’ swift strike, and his lips twitched in disbelief. Nevertheless, he could not help but admit that Nicholas was indeed a decisive and reliable man.

Next to Edward, Tessa couldn’t help the burst of giggles from escaping her lips at Nicholas’ unexpected move.

She watched as Edward carried Wanda away and walked toward Nicholas with a somewhat worried expression. ”Would this be a problem in the future?”

”Nope,” he answered as he gently led Tessa into his embrace. ”Stop worrying about unimportant people. You’ve had a long day. You should rest.”

As for Gregory, he was exhausted and had fallen asleep a long time ago.

Tessa’s heart warmed at his display of affection and concern.

She knew he was worried about her health and shook her head, smiling. ”I’m not tired. Besides, I’ve got a present for you.”

Nicholas quirked his brow at her words.

Nicholas instantly recognized that they were the latest limited edition watches for couples from Rolex.

Then, Tessa picked up the men’s watch and helped Nicholas wear it. ”When I first saw this watch, I immediately thought of you. Take a look. It suits you perfectly.”

She regarded his wrist with joy and admiration as a beautiful smile crept up her face.

He took a look at her before looking down at his new wristwatch. He could feel his heart melting at the sight since he knew how hard she worked to be able to afford such a watch.

He had never been a materialistic man, but he was particularly fond of the watch only because it was a gift from his beloved wife, Tessa.

Then, he took the initiative to pick up the women’s watch and wrapped it around her delicate wrist.

He was pleased just looking at the couple’s watches on their wrists, which were identical but different in size.

As they embraced each other, he suddenly realized that the surprise she had prepared was similar to what he had done before and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
