A stunned Tessa recalled how she had been forced to leave the country. A moment later, she raised her head and met Remus’ gaze without looking as timid as she had been in the past. “I haven’t forgotten it, but I didn’t understand my feelings in the past. Now that I’ve gotten together with Nicholas, I know very well what I want. No matter what you want to say, I won’t break up with Nicholas unless he says he wants to break up with me.”
Unsurprisingly, Remus’ expression became as black as thunder at Tessa’s words.
Tessa saw it, but she pretended not to and instead continued, “Also, don’t even try to threaten me with my younger brother anymore. It won’t work a second time.”
“How certain are you about that?” Remus shot back in displeasure.
She frowned. After looking at him with a complicated look in her eyes, she couldn’t help but ask, “I wonder what makes you so opposed to Nicholas and me being together.”
“Because you two aren’t suited for each other,” he answered without thinking.

Tessa questioned with persistence, “What makes you think we’re not suited to each other? I don’t think I’m inferior to anyone. And besides, I love Nicholas, and he loves me too. Why do you have to stop us from being together?”
Stumped by her question, Remus found himself at a loss for a reply for a moment.
When she saw Remus’ reaction, Tessa continued, “I think you probably have never thought about what Nicholas wants, nor have you ever tried to understand him.”
It was not a surprise that his expression darkened even more at her words.
Tessa didn’t care about it, though. This chapter is provided by infobagh.com. Visit infobagh.com for daily update. She spoke her mind and added, “You’re probably used to having others obey you and cater to your whims because of your status, which is why you want to manipulate Nicholas and force him into doing things according to your will. I have to say that such a way of doing things is overbearing and hurtful, though. Not only will it not make Nicholas comply with your wishes, but it’ll also make him grow more and more estranged from you. Nicholas has run away from home earlier because of this, which I think is the best example.”
Remus glared at Tessa furiously after he heard that and barked, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
A fearless Tessa met his gaze. “No, I’m not. I just want to make you understand that you can’t affect my relationship with Nicholas by forcing us to break up. Instead, you’ll only make him grow even more distant from you.”
At this moment, he suddenly found that she had become much different from the person she used to be. Not only did she become stronger, she was also much more confident. He stared at her with an incredibly complicated look in his eyes. A moment later, as he was unwilling to admit defeat, he said with a snort, “Don’t think that I’ll approve of you and Nicholas being together just because you said so.”
“I never thought of getting your approval either.” When Tessa saw Remus acting so awkwardly, the fear that she initially had vanished. She felt that Remus was, in fact, just like most parents in the world, who hoped for only the best for their children.
At the thought of this, she curled her lips into a faint smile before she commented, “But if it’s possible, I still hope that you can approve of it.”
