Chapter 467

Seems that I’ve gotten under Nicholas’ skin. I wonder if he’ll give me a hard time in the future, thought Timothy to himself.

…

Tessa still felt somewhat awkward while facing Timothy the next morning, but she slowly relaxed as Gregory cracked one joke after another.

The four of them had breakfast together in a pleasant atmosphere before going their separate ways.

After sending Tessa to the hotel where the orchestra was staying, Nicholas went to the hospital to visit Remus.

Remus had gotten much better after receiving treatment these days.

When Nicholas entered Remus’ ward, he was surprised to find that Hayley was here as well. Not only that, but she and Remus were chatting and laughing.

Just then, Hayley noticed Nicholas standing at the door, and she stood up happily. “You’re here at last, Nicholas.”

Looking coldly at her, Nicholas asked with a frown, “Why are you here?”

The smile on Hayley’s face froze the instant she heard the man’s unwelcoming tone of voice. Staring at Nicholas with a look of embarrassment, she replied in a charming and gentle voice that sounded a bit hurt, “I’m here to visit Old Master Sawyer.”

At the sight of the scene, Remus immediately sprang to her defense. “It was me who let Hayley in.

What’s the matter? Do you have any objections?”

Darting a look at the somewhat irked Remus, Nicholas replied impassively, “No, I don’t.”

“Good that you don’t.” Remus let out a soft snort. Then, recalling how Nicholas had barred Hayley and the Stones from visiting him, he reprimanded, “Why did you have Hayley barred from entering my ward? She came to visit me with the best of intentions.”

“Ashton said that you need to recuperate,” Nicholas said while darting a glance at Hayley with a terrifyingly icy look in his eyes. Needless to say, this woman must’ve complained to Grandpa about me.

After all, I did hide from Grandpa that I had the Stones barred from visiting him.

Sensing the man’s gaze, Hayley subconsciously looked up.

However, Nicholas had concealed the emotions in his eyes very well by this moment.

Noticing that Nicholas was looking at her, Hayley instinctively curled her lips, wanting to give him a smile that she thought was good-looking. However, Nicholas withdrew his gaze before the smile could spread across her face.

Just then, Remus’ sonorous and forceful voice rang. “I’m perfectly fine, and I don’t need to recuperate.

Don’t keep Hayley and the Stones from entering my ward anymore.”

Nicholas listened quietly without answering Remus. He stayed to keep Remus company while chatting with the latter in a desultory way. Golden sunlight shone on him through the window as if coating him with light. This chapter is provided by infobagh.com. Visit infobagh.com for daily update. With his matchlessly handsome looks, he looked very noble, like an angel who had descended from heaven.

Staring at Nicholas with infatuation, Hayley wanted to speak more with him. “Here, have an apple, Nicholas. It’s very sweet.” She bashfully handed him an apple that she had just peeled.

Nicholas darted a look at the apple before his thin lips parted. He refused, “It’s not necessary.”

Unwilling to give up, Hayley tried making conversation with Nicholas. However, he didn’t respond to her words no matter what she said.

At the end of the visit, Nicholas prepared to leave.

Glancing at Hayley beside him, Remus suggested, “In that case, send Hayley home too.” Even though he had given in earlier, he still hoped that Nicholas and Hayley could be together, so he helped create an opportunity for the two to get along. Perhaps by coming into contact with her more often, Nicholas will learn that Hayley’s the most suitable person for him.

Having figured out what Remus was thinking, Hayley was secretly delighted. Turns out my efforts to come and keep this old man company every day aren’t in vain! she thought. She turned to look at Nicholas with a smile, saying, “Thanks for giving me a ride, then.”

On the other hand, Nicholas knew full well what Remus was thinking. After darting a frosty look at Hayley, he said expressionlessly, “It’s out of my way.” Then, he left without looking back.

Remus looked somewhat embarrassed as he watched Nicholas leave decisively.

Hayley was dumbfounded for a moment before she was overwhelmed with embarrassment. As she couldn’t care less about anything else at the moment, she went after him in her high heels, trotting all the way before stopping Nicholas outside the elevator. “Wait a minute, Nicholas!”

Nicholas’ face hardened when he saw her. “Get out of my way.”
