Chapter 516
Always Been Yours
However, Nicholas was not a fan of sweet stuff, so he didnât try much of the food.
Instead, he spent the entire time staring tenderly at Tessa.
Iâhe three of them chatted and enjoyed their time with each other. Furthermore, their stunning looks attracted the attention of the bystanders.
Besides, Nicholasâ unbridled loving expression directed at Tessa was also even more so a source of envy for the bystanders.
As time passed, the trio decided to head off to another location for more fun.
Half a day went by, and Greg enjoyed himself so much that the beaming smile never left his face at all.
Finally, night fell, and the skies darkened too, so they headed back home.
They arrived back at Dynasty Gardens to find that the kitchen staff had already prepared dinner for them.
Andrew instantly instructed the kitchen staff to lay the table and serve the food as soon as he saw them walk in.
Tessa ate dinner with the father and son in the dining hall, and they resembled a family enjoying their meal together.
Andrew stood apart with his eyes on them and found the scene quite heartwarming.
After dinner, Nicholas suddenly wrapped his arms around Tessa and said to her, âIâve got something to deal with urgently at work, so Iâll be back in one hour.â
âSure, stay safe. But, donât stress yourself out too much.â
She nodded and took the initiative to kiss him on his lips.
The tender pressure on his lips made his eyes darken significantly.
If only the timing were much better, he would definitely take things further and deepen the kiss.
âWait for me to get back.â
He grabbed the jacket heâd flung to the side of the couch and strode out the door after saying that.
He did not head in the direction of the company after heâd walked out of the door. Instead, he drove his car to see Edward.
The black sedan sped off on the wide roads of the rural area.
At that moment, the night sky was completely dark.
Later, he arrived and parked his car at one of the factories owned by Luke Corporation on the outskirts of town.
He got out of the car with a solemn expression, and he exuded a formidable aura that was quite terrifying.
Edward had gotten word that Nicholas would be here soon, so he waited patiently by the entrance for the latterâs arrival.
As soon as he saw Nicholas get out of the car, he instantly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully, âPresident Sawyer.â
Meanwhile, Nicholas asked coldly, âWhere is he?â
âIâve instructed the men to hold him in the warehouse. Heâs all tied up. This way, sir.â
Edward led the way in front as he spoke.
Inside the warehouse, two men clad in black had their hands tied up and seated on the ground.
The two men were surrounded by identical-looking bodyguards dressed in suits, and the bodyguards clearly looked like they were not to be messed with.
At that moment, Nicholas descended upon the warehouse as if he was royalty gracing his subjects with his presence, and his piercing eyes were focused on the two men clad in black.
The two men could sense his menacing stare, and they felt like the devil had set his sights on them. Frightened, they couldnât stop shivering.
Nicholas made his way directly to stand in front of the duo, and his voice was icy as he questioned them, âTell me, who sent you guys?â
At that moment, the two men exchanged perplexed looks with each other.
The square-faced man instantly revealed a sincere expression and tried to feign ignorance. âSir, you must have captured the wrong person. We re just ordinary tourists.â
âAre you going to keep denying things?â Nicholas sneered, and his mirthless smile caused the two men to shudder all of a sudden.
Nonetheless, they were fully aware that they had to deny everything vehemently under the current circumstances.
âSir, there must have been a misunderstanding here. Weâre upstanding citizens.â
As soon as Nicholas heard that, he scoffed as if he had just heard a huge joke.
âIt looks like you guys refuse to admit it until youâre actually subjected to punishment, huh? Edward, you know what to do.â
Edward immediately took a step forward and placed the photos taken during the daytime in front of the two men. He interrogated them, âIf youâre actually reputable, upstanding citizens, then why did you trail after us? Donât tell me that itâs just a coincidence! I donât believe in coincidences at all!â
As soon as the two men saw the photos in Edwardâs hand, their expressions twisted into something awful, and they became quite flustered.
Despite that, they continued to deny things vehemently.
âWe have no idea why we keep bumping into them too! Of course, it was just coincidental!â
In response, Edward shot a hard look at the two men, and he clearly did not trust a single word that theyâd just mentioned. âAre you guys taking me for a fool? Do you think I would just capture you randomly without concrete proof?â
As soon as he said that, the two menâs faces instantly turned ugly.
Edward disregarded them and continued to speak, âDo you realize the identity of the two people that youâve gone after?â
Both men exchanged looks with each other.
Finally, the square-faced man spoke up feebly, âWho are they?â
âThey are the mistress and the young master of the Sawyer Group. So you two must have a death wish, huh? How dare you go after someone from the Sawyer
